Many of us, at some point in life, experience overwhelming and unpleasant feelings, such as persistent sadness, anxiety, grief, anger, loneliness, or stress. These may be the result of trauma, problems in relationships, stress because of work or school, loss, major life changes, conflicts, or unconscious/conscious self-defeating beliefs. However, no matter what has happened to us, we all have an innate ability to grow, to process, and to change. That fact that you are in this platform looking for help is already a great first step towards your healing process. I would very much like to help.


In my practice I provide strength and solution focused psychotherapy from a faith-based perspective (i.e. Catholic/Christian). This therapeutic process helps to empower you to take personal responsibility, resolve life problems, encourages you to advance towards desired goals, and promote healthy self-esteem.


I have over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy services to teenagers, young adults, and older adults. The work that I do has helped people heal, improve their overall quality of life, improve spiritual growth, and their relationships.

Jane Davis

Jane Davis

Therapist

Virtual • New York


My name is Jane Davis, LMHC, licensed in mental health counseling, and I have online appointments throughout the state of NY.

I have a Masters in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling from New York University. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I attained a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2 subjects--Modern Thought & Literature; and Humanities--and was a literature professor. That experience established my dedication to "helping people help themselves" through expanding their awareness in ways that lead to personal growth. I am originally from NJ, currently live in NY, and have lived in such places as Park Slope, Brooklyn; California; and the Midwest.

The focus of my therapy includes depression, anxiety, trauma-including racialized trauma-as well as borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder.

My clientele consists of people from a wide spectrum of backgrounds and experiences. I typically work with adults, i.e., late teens-e.g., 18 or 19-through seniors. My therapeutic environment emphasizes unconditional positive regard, collaboration, and directness needed to establish therapeutic rapport and thus a therapeutic alliance

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.
