Dr. Jennifer Smith

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Belle Harbor, NY


I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Wantagh, NY

Searching for therapists in Wantagh starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or experience with couples and families. A therapist’s profile can help you understand what they focus on and what sessions may be like.

In a smaller Long Island community like Wantagh, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual appointments can expand your search across Nassau County and New York, while in-person care may be a good fit if you prefer an office close to home, work, or school. When narrowing your options, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and session structure.

Therapy in Wantagh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to find licensed therapists who may accept a wide range of insurance plans, may offer virtual or in-person appointments, and may be accepting new clients. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
