Therapist

Virtual • New York


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.

Unlock Your Past - Inform Your Present - Expand Your Future

Hi, I'm Nora.

Do you feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense or find yourself reliving old family dynamics in your relationships? If you grew up in a home where emotions felt unpredictable or your needs were often overlooked, those early experiences may still affect you today. You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. You deserve a space where your experiences are understood and your feelings make sense.

Therapy can help you feel heard, understood, and more grounded in your life. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

I am a somatic oriented Licensed Psychoanalyst, and Certified Gestalt Psychotherapist based in NYC. I am warm, empowering and challenging when called for.

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.
