Soy una terapeuta que aprende de sus clientes, lo que conduce a una mejor relación y resultado terapéutico.
Hello! I am currently not taking new clients, but you can be added to a waitlist. I am so glad you are here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in practice for 13 years. I have experience working with children, teens, adults and seniors in a variety of settings to help with anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-exploration, stress. Currently I am only seeing adults for therapy at this time.
I'm Dr. Elaine Lavin, licensed clinical psychologist. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds to break free from stuck patterns that impede their lives. I specialize in trauma — especially sexual trauma — depression, identity, life transitions, aging, and relationship difficulties. I approach themes such as trust, anger, shame, self-esteem, and intimacy with care and compassion.
We all face challenging feelings, these feelings are normal; however, sometimes we need to develop the right tools to deal with them in a healthy way. I have a passion for mental health and supporting those on their journey to wellness. I integrate mental, physical, and spiritual health to help clients achieve overall wellness.
Hello,
It's a pleasure to meet you.
As a social worker I believe prioritizing mental health is key to an individual's ability to live a productive life. We all need support at some point in our lives, so thank you for taking the first step on the road to empowerment. I have provided individual and group therapy to adults for the past eight years.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist, I believe everyone deserves a space to understand themselves and feel supported through life’s transitions. Reaching out for help takes courage, and you already took the first step by being here. My experience includes supporting young adults, parents, professionals, and individuals navigating change, anxiety, depression, stress, divorce, and adjustment challenges.
I'm glad you're here, and I want you to know that reaching out takes courage. I support individuals navigating a wide range of concerns — anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Whatever brings you here, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported.
Hello, my name is Chris Jones and I am a licensed therapist residing in upstate New York. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Syracuse University in 1999 and have been in this field of work ever since. The majority of my experience has been working with teenagers and adults on mental health and environmental challenges.
Do you have dreams of a happier and healthier lifestyle? Do you know what you want in life but feel stuck due to past traumatic experiences, stress, anxiety, or self esteem issues?
I work with young women on life issues that have become too heavy to manage on their own.
We'll use therapy to identify past experiences that has impacted your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You'll replace those negative narratives that leave you feeling stuck with a positive and motivating outlook and work towards a plan that is attainable and unique to your personal goals.
Sis you deserve healing! You matter!
Wellness is only sessions away...
I work with BIPOC neurodivergent adults experiencing burnout from over functioning and masking. Many of my clients are navigating competing responsibilities while managing stress, relational conflicts, and the complexities of trauma. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, and strive to create a supportive, culturally responsive space where clients feel understood. My focus is on helping you build practical, sustainable strategies for lasting change.
Hi there! My name is Libby and I am happy you’re here. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been providing therapy for clients for six years.
I'm a Queer, ADHD, Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in Queer and Neurodivergent care. I'm also a Polyamory and Kink knowledgeable clinician.
I primarily work with teens and adults and have experience working with trans and gender diverse clients, including writing surgery support letters. I'm also well versed in writing ADA support letters and advocating in 504, IEP, and college disability support situations as needed.
I'm a huge nerd and in addition to my Master's in Mental Health Counseling I have a second Master's in Sexuality (my dissertation is on kink) and undergraduate degrees in English Literature and Adolescent Sexuality from The Ohio State University.
Whether you're navigating divorce, adjusting to motherhood, managing postpartum challenges, or coping with chronic mental health concerns, you deserve a space where you're truly heard and supported without judgment. If you're a woman facing major life changes, a BIPOC individual seeking culturally competent care, or someone managing stress and mental health challenges, you don't have to face it alone. Together, we'll work through what's holding you back and help you find clarity, resilience, and a path forward that honors who you are and where you want to go.

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.
