Hi my name is Celina Patterson. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience working with teens, adults, BIPOC clients, and educators navigating trauma, anxiety, or depression. Many of my clients have held it together for so long that they don't know how to put it down — and reaching out for support takes real courage. As someone who has also worked full-time in a school setting for years, I have a deep understanding of the compassion fatigue that comes with caring for others professionally, and I hold particular space for educators and school staff. I offer a judgment-free space where you are seen, heard, and valued.
I have nearly a decade of experience working with a variety of individuals with many backgrounds. I emphasize the importance of a trauma-informed and supportive approach. I have expertise in treating a number of diagnoses, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and trauma. I offer a number of modalities, including CBT, MI, DBT, EMDR and IFS.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–R (LCSW-R) with over 20 years of experience in the social work field. Since becoming licensed as an LMSW in 2005 and advancing to LCSW-R, I have developed a diverse clinical background working with individuals across the lifespan in settings including inpatient psychiatric care, medical social work, skilled nursing facilities, schools, and outpatient mental health.
My varied experience has allowed me to work with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and difficulties adjusting to change. My graduate training included a specialization in health, providing me with additional insight into the connection between physical and emotional well-being.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and respect. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. My approach is individualized, helping clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and build upon their strengths.
I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. My goal is to support clients in creating meaningful change and moving toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
As a licensed mental health counselor and 3 years of experience, I have worked with a wide-range of mental health and life change challenges, including training in the treatment of trauma. I am passionate about creating an affirming space for exploring identity and culture.
I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck, disconnected from their body, or who carry an extensive trauma history. Whether you’re highly analytical and struggling to drop into your body, or finding it hard to feel and name your emotions, I offer approaches that meet you where you are. Using somatic and body-based methods, including movement, mindfulness, imagery, and metaphor, I help clients access their inner world, integrate difficult experiences, and break through old patterns.
My name is Alex Queralt I am a bilingual therapist who has been in private practice for 30 years. I have a masters degree in mental health counseling from Long Island University I have multiply certificates in different types of training. I am currently licensed in New York State and Connecticut. My specialty is family and individual therapy
As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping people navigate addiction, legal system involvement, mood disorders, and trauma recovery. I am a certified provider of Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma and trained in Seeking Safety, an evidence based model for co-occurring trauma and substance use. Much of my work has been with clients in the Hudson Valley region, including those connected to legal and correctional systems, and I bring a direct, compassionate approach to supporting their recovery and stability.

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 Therapist in White Plains
Finding therapists in White Plains starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
White Plains has local therapy options, but nearby availability may be more limited than in larger parts of New York City. Virtual appointments can expand your search across therapists licensed in New York, while in-person care may work well if you prefer an office near downtown, Metro-North, or surrounding Westchester communities. To narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you understand a therapist’s communication style and what sessions may be like.
Therapy in White Plains can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, confirm your benefits, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
