I'm a queer and trans therapist with a background in medical social work and supportive housing. I've worked with people of all ages and backgrounds in individual, couples, and family therapy.
My name is Jylian Jackson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. I work with emerging adults, adolescents, and children experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, trauma, relationship difficulties, stress, and major life transitions.
As a licensed mental health and addiction professional I work within humanistic and person-centered perspectives; valuing and respecting the voices and experiences of my clients are paramount to healing and effective treatment. I support evidence-based approaches that match the therapeutic needs of my clients and assist them in creating safe space for self-reflection, insight and introspection. In summary each person has their life narrative that requires self-examination to foster or enhance growth and development. Let's explore you needs and concerns together in a safe and welcoming space.
I have been a psychotherapist in private practice for about forty years. After receiving my MSW, I felt I needed additional training to work effectively with clients. I studied psychoanalysis for three years, and I received a certificate in psychoanalytic oriented psychotherapy. It was extremely helpful because of the intensive supervision I received.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults. I value creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My work focuses on helping individuals navigate emotional regulation, life stressors, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I take a solution-focused, practical approach, tailoring each session to meet your individual needs and goals. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and meaningful.
Hello, I’m DeAnn Thompson, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in anxiety, depression, work-related stress, and burnout.
I work with busy adults who may be keeping up with work and everyday responsibilities while privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or simply not like themselves.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized, combining thoughtful psychiatric care and medication management to help you feel better, regain balance, and improve your overall well-being.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in helping children and families navigate the challenges that come with trauma, anxiety, and life stressors. Trauma can significantly impact daily life, affecting relationships, emotional well-being, and the ability to cope with everyday challenges. The effects can show up in ways such as difficulty focusing, heightened stress responses, or struggles with self-esteem, often creating a barrier to leading a fulfilling life.
With over 7 years of experience, I work with children ages 5 and up, providing tailored support to help them process their experiences and develop healthier coping strategies. Additionally, I offer caregiver support, helping parents and guardians strengthen their parenting skills and foster effective communication and connection with their children. I believe that when families are supported, they can thrive together, and I am here to help guide families toward healing and growth.
Hi, I’m Bushra. I provide therapy for Asian American, Queer, and Muslim clients through an intersectional lens. I have 9 years of experience working with clients who are managing day-to-day anxiety, navigating an unjust society, working through their identity and cultural expectations, and figuring out relationships—whether that’s with family, friends, partners, or themselves. I believe that we’re all human doing our best to move through a complicated world. The choices we make don’t come out of nowhere. They’re shaped by our environments, our histories, families, and the systems we live within.
I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist in New York State and a Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist. I have worked in the mental health field for five years, with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My perspective is grounded in the belief that our bodies come with us through our whole lives and have stories to tell.
I lead with curiosity and sensitivity and approach my work with a desire to understand. In a time when so much can feel separating and isolating, I invite us to find ways to remain connected.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New York
Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.
The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
