Andrea Szabo

Andrea Szabo

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I believe that healing happens through connection, curiosity, and self-compassion. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, burnout, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences.

My approach is authentic, collaborative, and down to earth. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe showing up exactly as they are, without judgement or pressure to have everything figured out. I have training in Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and I enjoy helping clients deepen their understanding of themselves while building practical tools for everyday life.

Outside of therapy, I value nature, creativity, and the belief that healing can happen in many forms. My goal is to help clients reconnect with their strengths, gain insight, and create meaningful change that feels sustainable.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in New York

Searching for OCD therapists in New York starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder and exposure and response prevention therapy. Exposure and response prevention, or ERP, is a common evidence-based therapy for OCD, and not all therapists have specific training in it. If you’re looking for support with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or related stress, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach. Look for profiles that mention OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Across New York, available OCD therapy options can vary between New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and more rural areas. Virtual care can expand your search beyond the closest office while still letting you choose in-person care when location matters. As you compare therapists, look beyond whether OCD appears in a profile. A therapist who lists ERP training, OCD-focused experience, free phone consultations, and appointment times that fit your schedule may be a stronger match than one who notes general familiarity with OCD. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and supports people with OCD.

The cost of OCD therapy in New York can be significant without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, take your insurance, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 3303 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
