I have been in private practice as a psychologist for the past 30+ years and I can honestly say that I remain passionate about and dedicated to the work that I do as a therapist. I have a BA in Psychology and Human Biology from Stanford University and a Masters in Public Health from Yale University. My doctorate in Clinical Psychology is from The Graduate Center, C.U.N.Y and I completed training as a psychoanalyst at the NYU Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.
I am a bilingual, Spanish-speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience.
I graduated from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Services. I have a certification in Breath Coaching, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Yoga in my practice and actively integrate these wellness practices in our sessions.
I love counseling – both giving and receiving. For over 40 years, I have helped adoptive families utilizing my law and counseling degrees.
The counseling aspect spans a wide range of populations, including tweens, seniors, singles, couples, and multiple family members.
I met my wife at graduate school while working on my Master’s in Social Work, and we have since adopted three children.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental presence. I work collaboratively and at a reflective pace, creating a space where you can explore emotions and creativity without pressure to perform or “get it right.” Music is always an invitation, not a requirement. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more connected to yourself.
Great to meet you!
My name is Haydee Cerezo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a trained psychotherapist with specialization in treatment for depression, anxiety, grief/loss and life transitions. With 20 years of experience, I understand that seeking help can be challenging and takes courage. Congratulations on taking the first step. Prioritizing one's mental health can lead to a happier and stable life.
As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe that an empathic approach creates an environment, in which, trust and curiosity can flourished, facilitating the adjustment to an already difficult process. The relationship between psychotherapist and patient constitutes an important tool, in the understanding of patient's past and present behaviors.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Yonkers, NY
Searching for therapists in Yonkers starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can support concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to focus on. A bio can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Yonkers offers access to therapists across neighborhoods like Getty Square, Nodine Hill, and Larkspur, with additional virtual options available across New York. If commute time, transit access, or office location matters, in-person appointments near home or work may be a good fit. If your schedule changes often, virtual sessions may give you more flexibility. Before booking, review each therapist’s availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and how they describe their session style.
Therapy in Yonkers can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs.
