Hi, I'm Ilyana Sori, a Licensed Clinical Social Work/Therapist with over 10 years of providing case management support and 5 years of direct clinical/therapeutic practice. I have studied Health Science/Public Health at Boston University for my undergraduate work. I then earned a Masters degree in Social Work from CUNY/Lehman College, with a focus in clinical practice. I have worked with adolescents, young adults and adults who experience symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD and other diagnosis.
It’s natural to feel unsure of who you are and where you want to be as you move into adulthood. Therapy is an opportunity to learn about yourself and how to navigate through new challenges of life. I have over 10+ years of experience empowering young adults to gain coping skills, discover ways to balance life stressors, and communicate effectively to build healthy relationships. Whatever your goals are, my role is to work with you to get closer to living the life you envision.
Entering therapy can be intimidating, and that's why I always try to meet people where they are in their process of healing, growth, and change. I'm Bethany, a licensed therapist who helps individuals navigate anxiety, stress, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based techniques.
I have spent the last ten years applying my clinical knowledge and love of helping to ensure a safe space that addresses the unique needs of my clients. I have significant experience working with teens, adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Together, we'll explore patterns, build coping tools, and strengthen your connection to yourself and others.
Whether you're feeling stuck or simply seeking balance, I'll meet you where you are and help you move toward the life you want to life. Self-discovery, growth, and healing should be a beautiful journey, as your therapist, I hope to be the vehicle guiding you.
I know reaching out can feel hard, especially when you’re already dealing with a lot. You don’t need to have everything figured out—that’s what this space is for.
If this resonates, I’d be glad to connect whenever you feel ready.
Hello, I'm Ronda, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in working with immigrant and first-generation adults navigating family dynamics, personal growth, and emotional wellness in New York City.
My approach is warm, supportive, and practical. I utilize evidence-based approaches including CBT, EMDR, ACT, etc, to help clients process difficult experiences, improve emotional regulation, strengthen boundaries, and develop healthier coping strategies.
Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear successful outwardly while internally struggling with worry, emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, or unresolved childhood experiences. Therapy with me provides a space to gain insight, build confidence, and create meaningful change.
My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, emotionally balanced, and empowered in their daily lives.
Graduated from Northwestern University with a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. I work with CBT, ACT, from a Psychodynamic background.
I'm a seasoned clinician with over 20 years of experience in providing services to individuals affected by mental health and behavioral challenges. I've worked with children, adults and families to address areas that have impacted their daily functioning. I've treated individuals that have presented or were diagnosed with depression, anxiety, adjustment and mood disorders. Too, I've provided consultation in areas related to child welfare, family & criminal court as well as community organizations. I take pride in helping individuals & families reach their goals, learn new skills and ways of communication.
Life’s daily demands can easily become overwhelming, whether you are navigating work, school, relationships, or the complexities of parenting. I provide a completely nonjudgmental space where individuals, children, families, and couples can feel safe sharing their raw experiences. I recognize that current or past trauma often magnifies these everyday stressors. My goal is to partner with you to process these hurdles, uncover your innate resilience, and help you regain a sense of balance.
My name is Nichole and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with Diagnostic Privilege in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wyoming and Colorado. I've been licensed since 2020, and working with folks in various therapeutic capacities since 2007. I have done crisis counseling, career counseling, and individual counseling for clients at many points in their journey.

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.
