I’m Richard Unite (they/them), LCSW, and I practice in NYC.

My work is rooted in affirmation, curiosity, and compassion. I believe therapy should feel approachable, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique experiences and goals.
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.
Guided by my persistent and deep curiosity about the human condition, I now bring over 12 years of clinical experience to my work. Within a secure, collaborative therapeutic relationship, we work together to heal emotional wounds, strengthen inner resources, and integrate all parts of the Self—fostering a more meaningful, conscious engagement with the world.
My clients can expect emotional and psychological support, thoughtful insight and guidance, and skill-building, all in service of empowerment, growth and transformation.

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.
