Dr. Anne Levy

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over twenty five years of experience helping adults navigate relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and the complexities that arise throughout different stages of life. I also treat clients who are interested in personal growth and development. My practice is designed for individuals who are seeking thoughtful, personalized therapy and who value a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

As a clinician, I believe that one of the most important components of psychotherapy is having an atmosphere which is supportive, patient, validating and compassionate. I approach my patients with integrity and a commitment to help you create a higher quality of life that resonates with your authentic self. I believe that meaningful change occurs within the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. I offer a warm, attentive, and collaborative space where clients can slow down, reflect, and explore patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we work to uncover underlying issues, build insight, and develop lasting strategies for growth and emotional well-being.

My approach is integrative and tailored to the unique needs of each client. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, I take the time to understand your history, strengths, values, and goals. Whether you are facing a current challenge, navigating a major life transition, or seeking greater fulfillment in your personal relationships, therapy can provide an opportunity for meaningful and lasting change. I help clients gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and create more authentic and satisfying lives.

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 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.
