Hello there!
My name is Heather Hammond, LMHC.
Having a strong sense of empathy, alongside personal life experiences are what motivated me to become a therapist.
I have always placed deep value upon genuine human connection and communication. Together, we can tackle your largest obstacles and have you on the road to living your richest and most fulfilling life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or wanting to enhance your own personal growth, I promise to provide my utmost attentive and knowledgeable support.
Hi, I am Edith. Thanks for being here!!
I graduated from University of Washington, Master of Social Work in 2012 and has been in this field for 14 years. I have worked in hospitals, and community based mental health. My passion is working with women who is trying to get pregnant, who is pregnant and who is navigating parenthood. My other passion is working with adults who were diagnosed late in life with ADHD. A lot of my clients are also dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, loss and life transitions.
Starting therapy often means saying things out loud for the first time. You don't have to have the words ready — that's part of the work.
I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions, including the particular strain of rebuilding a life in a new country, holding a family across borders, or carrying a loss that happened somewhere else.
Much of my career has been spent with people on the worst day of their lives. I responded to the 1999 Vargas disaster in Venezuela, and worked with Project Liberty in New York after 9/11, training paramedics, firefighters, and highway police along the way. You do not have to protect me from what happened to you.
I trained first as a psychologist in Venezuela and completed my master's in mental health counseling in New York. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Connecticut, a National Certified Counselor, and EMDR-certified.
Sessions are available in English and Spanish. Not translated — I work in both.
If you're deciding whether to reach out, you don't need to be certain. You only need to be curious enough to start.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive, and affirming space where you can
Working with me means you don't have to edit yourself before walking through the door. I work with adults across New York who are navigating trauma, grief, postpartum struggles, OCD, identity, and the exhaustion that comes from surviving things most people don't talk about out loud. My clients often tell me they've spent years feeling like "too much" - too emotional, too complicated, too much history. My job is to be the one who's not overwhelmed by any of that. I'm a Black woman clinician, and I bring that lived lens into my work with intentionality, not as a side note. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are - and also gently challenge you when you're ready - you're in the right place.

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.
