Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Webster, NY covered by United Healthcare

Hello, I'm so happy that you reached out for help. I am Dr. Sonia Smith, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R). I have worked with individuals, couples and families seeking counseling for over 20 years, both online and in my private practice

I'm ready to help you get started on your journey!

I received my masters in social work from Adelphi University. I worked as a social work director for a number of years previously but I stopped because I really preferred more face to face time with my patients. I got so much more from my time counseling than being in a management position. Over my 22 years as a social worker, I've come across many people with diverse issues and truly have enjoyed all of my experiences as they helped form the person I am, the therapist I am. Much of my experience is working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, couples counseling, life transitions, stress management, cancer and chronic illness counseling, palliative care counseling, caregiver support and community resource and referral.

People always tell me that I'm a good listener. This is my greatest accomplishment and one I'm most proud of because as your therapist I want to HEAR you. I want to join you in your pain or difficulties and help you find your way through them. I may not have experienced what you have specifically gone through or are facing now, but I know how to find my way in to how you are feeling. Building a therapeutic rapport with you will be my first step. Trust needs to build and then most of my work is generally solution focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques. You will see that I am a caring, non-judgmental person. I would love the chance to help see you through your challenges. You've taken the first step!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and the impact of racial and ethnic social injustices. I work with clients who are seeking support during difficult life experiences and who want to better understand themselves and their relationships.

My motto is: "Helping People Help Themselves to a Better Life. I support people with a smile and a reassuring description of my skills and abilities. I reinforce my respect for their choices as we engage in therapy together. I work to create a safe space for clients to address their issues.

Hi, my name is Gabriela. I’m a NYU trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with people navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationship stress, career uncertainty, and family or social challenges. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and not judged. I also have a special interest in women’s mental health, including PMDD and perinatal mental health, as well as working with LGBTQ+ individuals and people from marginalized communities. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, and spending time with my family.

Hi, I’m Angela David, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care focused on real, lasting change—not just symptom management.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions for teenagers, college students and adults. My approach combines medication management with practical therapy tools, so you leave sessions with strategies you can actually use in daily life.

Patients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. Together, we work to understand patterns, build coping skills, and create a plan that feels manageable and effective.

I strive to create a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and make meaningful progress at your own pace. I take time to truly listen and understand your experiences, history, and goals. Together, we’ll determine whether medication, therapy, or a combination of both is right for you, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable. Treatment is always personalized, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, and your overall well-being.

My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and partnership. You are an active participant in your care, and your voice matters in every decision. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout your healing journey.

I’m honored to support you as we work toward greater balance, resilience, and emotional well-being. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you as you take this important step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
