I have extensive experience working with people of all ages in the creative fields, young adults lost at a crossroad in their life.
As a humanist, I believe in the inherent worth to every single human being. I am guided by the ethos of a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, and it is with each movement that we get closer to where we want to be. Through intentional effort we encounter change, embrace healing, and a foster a fruitful fulfilling life.
I am a New York state and New Jersey state licensed clinical psychologist. I received my doctorate in psychology from Long Island University-Post. I completed an APA accredited internship from Mt. Sinai Services-Elmhurst Hospital Center. I received postdoctoral training from New York University Counseling and Wellness Services. I specialize in working with adults with concerns regarding career, relationships, life transitions, identity, anxiety, eating disorder/body image, and grief/loss.
Hello, I’m Sydney Lerner, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. I offer therapy in Midtown Manhattan and virtually across the state. I work with teens and young adults navigating OCD, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and family dynamics. My approach is relational and psychodynamic, exploring how past and present relationships shape emotions and patterns. For clients who have completed OCD treatment in the past, I also integrate ERP knowledge to support long-term growth. I earned my BA from Johns Hopkins, my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern, and completed a year-long psychodynamic training at the National Institute of the Psychotherapies.
I’m a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and drama therapist who works with women and young adults navigating anxiety, eating disorder recovery, substance use, and life transitions.
I have experience in inpatient rehab and use a harm reduction, nonjudgmental approach. My work combines talk therapy with creative techniques when helpful—though there’s no pressure to be “artistic.”
I believe the potential for healing is inherently human - and incredibly accessible. My goal is to partner with you in looking at your Life-Story and to identify and evolve past wounds or challenges holding you back from a peaceful way of being. I've been practicing for over 20 years and specialize in anxiety, depression and trauma.
I work with people who are stuck at certain crossroads in their life. Typically, the external problems seem to solve themselves once therapy reaches a certain point. This applies to work, relationships, life goals, and creative pursuits. My job is to help you transform mental or physical pain into something that is bearable and makes life worth living.
I work with a wide range of clients.
I welcome any questions you have. Feel free to give me a call or email with any questions you have about starting therapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Suffern, NY
Searching for therapists in Suffern starts with finding care that fits your needs, preferences, and schedule. Therapists may support concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want support with. Provider bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Suffern, local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. Consider practical factors like appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before your first session. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and what each therapist says you can expect from working together.
Therapy in Suffern can be a significant investment 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 search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Suffern, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
