Are you living the life you want? Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or depressed? This is the first step in the right direction towards positive change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) who is dedicated to supporting others who are challenged with life stressors, life transitions, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relational concerns.
My name is Janet O’Hare. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with people of all ages and many backgrounds, with all kinds of goals and concerns. These often include:
· Addressing worries and stresses
· Navigating knotty problems in life
· Working on relationships
· Welcoming a new child into the family
· Dealing with a serious illness
· Handling a major career challenge
· Managing trauma-related issues
I am especially interested in the zone where the waves of the soul crash on the rocks of the body. I have a great deal of experience with trauma of many types, in many degrees of severity. I have also worked extensively with, and have a special love for, new families, mothers and childbearing. I am honored to be present at the end of life. I am a psychodynamic feminist and am deeply interested in history and in political and moral movements.
I'm a clinical psychologist who got my PsyD from LIU Post and postdoc at UCLA DGSOM. I work with the lifespan (children, adolescents, adults, couples), topics such as gender health, substance misuse, neurodiversity, OCD, trauma, and BPD.
I am a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist in New York State, with more than 30 years of experience in mental health, psychological assessment, trauma recovery, and public safety wellness. Born in the Bronx and raised in Queens, New York, I developed a deep appreciation for the resilience, diversity, and strengths of the communities I have served throughout my career.
My approach to therapy is integrative, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and person-centered. I believe effective treatment begins with understanding the whole person—not simply their symptoms. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), mindfulness-based interventions, and insight-oriented approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to develop greater self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful and lasting change.
I strive to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns openly and honestly.
Whether someone is seeking help for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, occupational challenges, or personal growth, my goal is to help them build resilience, enhance well-being, and develop a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in their lives.
I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health counselor with over nine years of professional experience in crisis management/inpatient psychiatric treatment and outpatient care. Since earning my MS in Mental Health Counseling, I have committed to providing evidence-based therapeutic interventions to individuals facing a wide range of challenges to include depression, anxiety, eating disorders, as well as major life transitions.
I specialize in working with individuals struggling with weight loss and weight management. I provide an alternative strategy to weight loss based on cognitive therapy that allows people to change their life and their relationship with food, instead of just dieting.
I am a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist who completed his PsyD at Roberts Wesleyan University in 2024. After graduating with my doctorate I went on to train in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Cambridge Health Alliance's Program for Psychotherapy and Harvard Medical School. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, internal conflicts, and social & relational concerns like transgender and LGBTQIA+ issues.
I am a licensed clinical social worker based in New York City. I specialize in individual and couples psychotherapy. I graduated from NYU and have 10+ years of experience working with adults and families in a variety of settings, including hospital psychiatric emergency room and and community clinics.
I chose to become a therapist because I am amazed at the healing process through human connection. As complex beings, I am left in awe at the strength and resilience each individual possesses. I believe that despite difficulties faced, we have the power to rewrite our own story and live to fullest most authentic selves.
Our work together will not only aid you in overcoming any difficulties you may be facing but help understand patterns to develop tools that can be used in everyday life.
I aim to provide a healing space through compassion, support and acceptance. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, however, I often utilize tools from different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and inner child healing.
I hope to have the opportunity to hear from you and help you achieve your greater self.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and have extensive experience in individual therapy. I studied at Hunter Silberman School of Social Work. I am certified in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and CBT and use these modalities along with others in a holistic approach to help support my clients in their therapeutic goals.
It takes courage to seek help. I believe that every person can benefit from self-reflection and developing more effective ways to cope with the difficult parts of life. I strive to create collaborative therapeutic relationships with my clients with respect for each person's autonomy and strength.

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.
