I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual psychotherapy in New York City and Westchester County. I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds challenged with trauma, anxiety, addiction, grief, interpersonal relationships and life transitions. I take a person-centered approach to therapy, offering collaboration in goal setting and establishing an individualized treatment plan to target your needs.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience in helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship dynamics, and life’s daily stressors. I graduated from John Jay College of Criminal Justice with a degree in Forensic Psychology and earned my Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University. I’m passionate about empowering individuals to reach their full potential. As someone who comes from the community I serve, I understand the unique challenges we face and am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can happen.
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.
I am a bilingual Spanish-English therapist with experience providing social-emotional support ranging from pre-teens to adults and couples. I graduated from Hunter College in NY. I have worked in various settings such as a hospital, outpatient clinics, DOC, and the Court system.
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.

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.
