Hello, I am Linda an LCSW who graduated from Columbia University in 1999. I Love what I do and consider myself a “people person” which makes my job so enjoyable. I have completed thousands of assessments and am goal oriented. Over the past 25 years I have worked with almost every population but do not consider myself a know-it-all, I still have room to grow.
I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in New York.
One of the reasons I became a therapist is because I deeply believe in people’s ability to grow, heal, and write their story no matter their circumstances. I truly care about people and the courage it takes to share their experiences. I hold a deep respect for the dignity and worth of every person, and I value authenticity, compassion, and practical strategies that bring light and renewal into everyday life.
With 12 years of experience as a Licensed Therapist I have worked with a vast array of individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, and other challenges with day to day life. We all struggle once in a while, but things can get better. I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a non-judgmental safe space where clients feel heard, respected, and safe.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, or life changes, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports adults managing depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and health challenges, bringing extensive mental health experience and exposure to the medical field to guide you with insight and compassion.

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.
