Psychologist

Virtual • New York


I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Yonkers

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Yonkers starts with looking for identity-affirming care that fits your needs. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, gender dysphoria, anxiety, depression, or stress related to major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct work with LGBTQIA+ communities. These signals can help you find a therapist whose training and listed specialties match the care you want.

Yonkers has access to local therapists, while nearby parts of Westchester County and New York City can add more options. Still, LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be more limited in some areas, so virtual appointments can expand your search beyond offices close to home. You may also want to compare appointment availability, therapeutic approach, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles before booking can show how each person describes their style, communication, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients.

Therapy in Yonkers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and offer clear availability. You can browse LGBTQIA+ therapists in Yonkers, review bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
