Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! I have been a Licensed Social Worker for 17 years and believe that therapy is a wonderful tool for growth and change. My approach is to meet you where you are on your journey and help you live your best life!
Hello! My name is Kelly and I look forward to working with you!
I earned a Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) from the SUNY Albany School of Social Welfare, with clinical training that provides the foundation for psychotherapy practice. Throughout my over 20 years of clinical practice, I have been afforded the opportunity to work in a variety of environments with diverse populations.
For 11 years, I have sat with people at some of the hardest moments of their lives, from
medical crises to the quieter weight of anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. I bring a
collaborative, nonjudgmental presence because the best work happens when you feel
genuinely heard. If you are ready to start, I would love to meet you.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work from NYU. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly, gain clarity, and develop practical tools to move forward. My focus is helping you better understand patterns, manage what feels overwhelming, and make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.
Hello! I am so happy to introduce myself to you. I have over 20 years of experience working as a therapist. I love being a therapist because I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know their stories. I’m a firm believer in treating the person in front of me, not the diagnosis or code. I don’t believe in seeing someone as their struggle. I help people cope with their symptoms or challenges and to become the best version of themselves. I use many therapeutic frameworks to accomplish this. I never follow one framework only. That shortchanges the opportunities for improvement to me.
My aim is to create a warm, judgement free, safe space for you to understand yourself better. I see therapy as a journey between two people. At times the journey can feel daunting, overwhelming, and challenging, and I am here to help make the burden a little easier to bear. I work with individuals of all backgrounds and of various ages, coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship struggles, work stress, stage of life transitions, and more. I have been on my own therapy journey too, so I understand what it is like to be on the "other side" of the room. I aim to use my own experience in therapy to bring empathy and compassion to your therapy journey.
I have over 10 years of experience as a trauma informed counselor and I am passionate about helping clients to resolve past issues that prevent them from reaching current goals. It is important to me that my clients feel comfortable and safe in session, so I often seek feedback from my clients on what works for them. I believe it is critical to be a lifelong learner, and I'm always trying to develop new skills and gain new knowledge to bring to my practice,

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in New York
Searching for postpartum therapists in New York starts with finding someone whose training fits your needs during pregnancy or after birth. Postpartum support can include care for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. New York has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural areas, so specialties and appointment options can vary by location. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy therapy, prenatal therapy, or maternal mental health therapy. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal care.
From New York City to Buffalo to Albany, the right fit often depends on more than specialty alone. New parents may need appointment times that work around infant care, physical recovery, work schedules, or changing daily routines. Virtual therapy can make it easier to access a therapist for moms, a therapist for new moms, or new parent therapy when traveling to an office takes extra planning. You can also narrow your search by availability, therapeutic approach, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their style, experience, and approach before you book.
The cost of postpartum therapy in New York can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking.
