When ur mind won’t stop and ur body won’t settle: healing is possible!

Are u struggling with anxiety, trauma or intrusive thoughts?

I work with clients who feel trapped in cycles of fear, worry, panic, intrusive and obsessive thinking, somatic symptoms, emotional overwhelm and phobias, feel like themself again.

My approach is warm, empathic, intuitive and holistic, healing on mind, body and soul level.

I believe anxiety is often the mind and body’s way of trying to protect us, especially when past experiences, trauma or chronic stress have left the nervous system feeling unsafe. Together we gently explore the underlying roots of your symptoms with subconscious processes, as we update neural and nervous system networks, while building practical tools to help u feel more grounded.

My work integrates evidence based practices, like EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, some somatic (as I’m somatic informed), and deeper emotional insight.

Every session is custom tailored to you individually, meeting u exactly where u are. Clients describe me as deeply attuned and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing unfolds and lasting change happens. Let’s embark on your healing journey!

Gidget Rafus-Rousell

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Working with me means you don't have to edit yourself before walking through the door. I work with adults across New York who are navigating trauma, grief, postpartum struggles, OCD, identity, and the exhaustion that comes from surviving things most people don't talk about out loud. My clients often tell me they've spent years feeling like "too much" - too emotional, too complicated, too much history. My job is to be the one who's not overwhelmed by any of that. I'm a Black woman clinician, and I bring that lived lens into my work with intentionality, not as a side note. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are - and also gently challenge you when you're ready - you're in the right place.

LizaBeth Madara

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • New Paltz, NY


As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have focused the majority of my career on youth and young adults. I love working with young people as they navigate the challenges of personality development, family relationships, and exploring their place in the world beyond the family. My clinical judgment and practice strategies are guided by over twenty years of work with a wide variety of clients and circumstances. As a social worker in a lively high school and a parent of two young adults, I am very comfortable building rapport with the full gamut of adolescent personalities.

I am very excited to support clients in all developmental life stages as they work through clinical and non-clinical issues. These include depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, grief and loss, life and career transitions, relationships, parenting, family dynamics, and aging.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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. From there, you can review therapist profiles, compare appointment times, and book directly when you’re ready.
