I work with both adults & adolescents who are navigating stressful situations, life transitions, anxiety & emotional challenges. I also specialize in supporting prenatal/postpartum moms experiencing anxiety & depression. My approach is relatable & empathetic, creating a safe space where clients feel understood, and empowered as they work toward improving their current issues. I strive to help client's enhance their self esteem, improve self expression & communication styles, learn effective coping skills, conflict resolution and behavioral changes.
I primarily work with individuals navigating the perinatal period. This includes people who are just starting to think about pregnancy, those currently expecting or navigating infertility and loss, and parents. I specialize in helping those who might be struggling with their mental health or are worried about how their own experiences will shape their relationship with their children.
I have a love for collaborating with clients and learning their stories. I truly enjoy learning about all people and how they perceive the world, and I feel fortunate to help support the growth of each individual every time a therapeutic relationship is established. While I focus much of my practice through a CBT framework, I include elements of DBT and mindfulness as well.
I believe healing is possible, even after deep or prolonged trauma. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting girls and women who have been impacted by trauma, anxiety, OCD, and/or life transitions. My work is grounded in evidence-based practice, cultural humility, and compassion. I strive to create a space where clients feel emotionally safe, respected, and understood. For those who desire it, I also offer Christian-integrated therapy, thoughtfully incorporating faith and spiritual values in a clinically ethical and client-centered way. My goal is to walk alongside you with clarity, structure, and hope as you move toward meaningful and lasting change.
Hi! My name is John and I am glad you decided to take this step. My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive and person centered. My objective is to help you realize the potential inside of you and manifest greatness.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT‐I) and help adults who struggle with falling asleep, staying asleep, early morning awakenings, or long‐term sleep disruption. My style is warm, clear, and practical. I focus on helping clients understand the root causes of insomnia and build sustainable habits that support restorative sleep and overall wellbeing.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credentialed in both New York and Connecticut. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University in 2001 and have dedicated my career to helping clients overcome obstacles. I also hold a post-graduate certificates in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). By skillfully blending psychodynamic and behavioral techniques, I provide a dynamic and customized approach to healing and growth.
I work from a client-centered perspective that utilizes vulnerability, genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard to help those I work with safely explore the stressors and other life circumstances that may be negatively impacting their sense of peace and well-being in order to find effective strategies that will help achieve a balanced, happy, and healthy life. I have been providing clinical services since 2009 and speak both English and Spanish with native fluency.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of New York and New Jersey with an extensive background in mental health as an inpatient psychiatric social worker and a therapist in private practice. These settings has afforded me the opportunity to work with adults across the life span as they face a multitude of challenges. In my private practice I work with adults navigating the stressors of every day life such as work, relationships, and transitional periods. In addition I work with adults seeking a greater sense of self, enhance coping skills, improve communications skills, and build confidence.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a 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.
