Making sure you have a personalized, meaningful experience in therapy is very important to me. Let's find your voice and let's help you into a better spot so you can feel good about life. I have been in practice since 2003 working across many different settings. Through our initial discussions we will explore what may be underlying your current concerns and customize therapy so that your experience is meaningful. If you've ever felt like your previous therapists "just sat there and nodded", you won't have that experience here. I ask lots of questions and will keep you engaged throughout our time together.

Samantha Linet

Samantha Linet

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I'm a clinical social worker in NYC with a degree from Hunter College. I have over a decade of clinical experience, which began while working as a case planner in the NYC foster care system. At Hunter I was accepted into the Child Trauma program through the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and received specialized training in trauma-informed, attachment based modalities including Child Parent Psychotherapy.

I have extensive experience working with care-givers and parents of young children navigating parenting challenges, from adjusting to a new baby to processing and healing from significant attachment disruptions. I also trained in Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through Postpartum Support International to help support clients through the challenges of the preconception, perinatal, and postpartum phases of family planning.

I am a certified Level 1 AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) therapist and I am currently completing certification with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Institute. These models invite clients to go a little deeper than in traditional talk-therapy, but to do so in an intentional, thought out, and collaborative way that results in a sense of catharsis, release, and self-compassion. These approaches benefit many types of clients but are particularly helpful for those struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, with a history of interpersonal, and childhood trauma.

I work often with clients who identify as "people-pleasers"-empathetic, "emotional sponges" who often find themselves prioritizing others at the cost of their own well-being. are incredibly tuned in to the world around them, but can become overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and burnout. My integrative approach helps them develop stronger boundaries, reconnect with their needs, and find renewed balance and purpose.

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.
