Dr. Heather Stempin

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


As a licensed psychologist, I have worked primarily within educational settings over the past twenty years. Prioritizing mental health can be challenging in our increasingly busy lives, but it's one of the most important steps we can take for ourselves.

I've seen firsthand how much has shifted for families: the pressure of working full-time while parenting full-time, the very real impact of screens and technology on child development, and how hard it is to set limits in a world that keeps piling on demands. I work with adults who are navigating stress, parenting difficulties, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the everyday weight of trying to show up for everyone around them while still taking care of themselves.

Peter Curkendall

Therapist

Virtual • Liverpool, NY


Hello! My name is Peter Curkendall.


As a Board Certified licensed professional counselor and certified integrative life coach, my focus is on integrating mind/body modalities to help individuals, couples, and groups reach their full potential. My counseling style is inviting and interactive and is grounded in wellness, humor, and pragmatism with a client-focused, strength-based approach. I employ an empathetic, direct, and practical counseling style, using a wide range of evidenced based tools to make our time most meaningful and enhance your everyday life concerns.


I view clients through a developmental lens and use an eclectic approach, from an evidenced based perspective, and meet people where they are. This includes skillful and strategic use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Existential, family systems, Rogerian, Narrative therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Behavioral approaches. I seek to collaboratively develop an individualized, person-centered focus and existential theoretical framework. I have worked extensively with individuals, groups, and families around trauma and sexual abuse. While helping people develop tools and skills to empower them and help them achieve their goals, I support people through their process and share their journey. Empathy, compassion, trust, and respect are cornerstones of my approach.


I provide a holistic, eclectic, flexible approach. Interventions are customized for the individual and believe a good relationship between therapist and client is key to the process of counseling. Please let me know what you want to achieve through the counseling experience and I will assist you with creating a more dynamic environment to achieve your goals. I bring scholarship and academic knowledge to the practice of psychotherapy and seek to build a collaborative bond with clients in order to work together to achieve better mental health.

My approach is collaborative, creative, and grounded in body awareness and compassion. I’m a licensed, board‐certified Art Therapist with training in somatic and sex therapy. My work is culturally responsive and affirming, especially of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC identities. I’m passionate about helping people heal from shame, body disconnection, and identity‐related challenges, and about supporting couples navigating differences in desire and intimacy. My background in art therapy shapes sessions that often weave creativity, expression, and the body as pathways toward healing. I hope that therapy can offer you a deeper sense of belonging.

Ashley Crum

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Welcome, I am so glad you are here! My name is Ashley Crum, I am a New York native born and raised on Long Island. Initially my collegiate career began at Howard University where I majored in television and film production as well as nutritional science. However, with a call to service and a passionate heart for people and the human condition, I followed her purpose and graduated from SUNY Cortland with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Society with an emphasis in Wellness and Development. I then went on to complete my academic studies at the graduate level earning a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from New York University.

I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families and specialize in and have a divine calling and passion for Christian counseling through which I work alongside clients in tearing down their psychological and emotional strongholds through a spiritual framework of the gospel of Jesus Christ and their identity in Him.

My style is discerning, warm, laid back, and attentive with an appropriate fun flare. My intention is to empower clients to take dominion over their lives. By that I mean, supporting you in exercising your own authority to take control of your life in an uncontrollable and unpredictable world.

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.
