I am a member of a prestigious group of therapists at NY Mental Health Center. We understand that it takes courage to speak with a therapist, but the potential rewards outweigh the risks of opening up. I have experience helping clients with anxiety, mood disorders, relationship problems, addictions, trauma, and coping with disease, among other concerns. I work with each patient to create a strong relationship and I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for open communication.

Dr. Gregory Mack

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Mahopac, NY


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 clinical social worker with specialties working with pregnant and parenting folks as well as young children and their families, with a special interest in trauma-informed, neurodiverse-affirming practice.

I understand welcoming a new baby to the family comes with a host of challenges and changes: from hormonal shifts and changes in our brains and bodies to changes in employment, lifestyle, relationships, and reflecting on our own experiences of being parented. I am highly experienced in working with pregnant, birthing, postpartum, and parenting folks with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders—or just struggling with the changes in demands, identity, and daily structure

Hi! I have been primarily working with grieving individuals for 5 years. I also work with individuals experiencing depression, adjustment issues, relationship/family issues, and anxiety. As your therapist, I want to listen to your story, validate your feelings, and help you navigate your journey with empathy, understanding, and self-care tools. Past clients have mentioned feeling so heard and cared for after our sessions. That is my goal. Your experience deserves to be acknowledged.

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 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.
