As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of clinical experience, I have had the privilege of helping people work through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. I received my graduate degree from Fordham University and am committed to providing a caring, judgment-free environment where clients feel genuinely listened to and supported. Together, we identify strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful personal growth.
As a therapist, it is my goal address your needs via a strengths-based approach. I am here to help you process the emotions, thoughts, and life events that may be causing you anxiety, depression, or other painful symptoms. My specialty is in supporting survivors of childhood, domestic, relational, or sexual abuse. I believe that, no matter your story, true psychological healing is possible through the self-trust that we will build for you in therapy.
I support teens, adults, and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves or each other. My clients are thoughtful, resilient people seeking a gentle, grounded space where they can feel seen, supported, and safe enough to reconnect with who they truly are—and with the relationships that matter most. People come to me when life feels heavy, when past experiences linger, anxiety builds, or connection feels harder to access, and they’re ready for compassionate support that helps them move forward with more clarity and ease.
I’m a licensed creative arts psychotherapist with 8 years of experience working with adults in psychiatric settings. I work with people from many cultural backgrounds and across different stages of adulthood. I’m bilingual and offer therapy in both English and Spanish. Above all, I value meeting you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or problem.
I’m a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and drama therapist who works with women and young adults navigating anxiety, eating disorder recovery, substance use, and life transitions.

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress and worry? Is every day filled with anxiety or sadness? Perhaps you lack confidence and struggle with self-esteem issues? Has Covid perhaps made you feel even more that you are not in control of your life? Is all of this making it harder and harder to cope with everyday life? I know what it means to get to a place where you can have peace, self-acceptance and contentment, where you can find meaning and happiness in your life, whatever you decide to accomplish.
I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families, teens and the elderly. Using many practices that have been proven to work, including mindfulness and meditation, we will work together to help you accomplish your personal and professional goals.
Being human means struggling sometimes, and being human means finding the ability to go beyond our struggles. By working together, we will help you learn new skills and use your own wisdom to reach your goals and build greater self-awareness and self-empowerment, overcome depression, anxiety, stress and self-worth issues, and live a fuller and happier life.
Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I'm an LCSW with 10+ years of experience helping clients work towards their life goals.
Life today can be very stressful. We play many roles and we are constantly bombarded with information. We have many responsibilities and too little time. Sometimes it's hard to talk to your friends because they're going through the same thing and you don't want to burden them.

In 2016 she received her D.Min., in interfaith clinical and pastoral counseling. She can add a spiritual dimension if interested. She works with adults, helping with life's transitions or working on past experiences that continue to hold them back. Michele has two special focus areas: complex trauma, and grief and loss.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing individual therapy with a focus on chronic illness (such as celiac, IBD, etc).

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety 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.
