I started my therapeutic life working in a urban outpatient mental health clinic. I have a long association with first responders and veterans.
I have over 24 years of experience working with adults, children, and couples addressing stress, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, depression, PTSD, and life transition issues. I am experienced in treating emotional, physical, and sexual trauma. I can help you focus on your life goals and overcome obstacles. I generally assign "homework" each week based on your goals so therapy stays focused in a forward direction. I am here to help you make life feel and be more manageable.
I graduated with my Doctorate in Psychology from LIU Post in 2009. Throughout my training and professional practice I have worked with a diverse array of individuals and clinical issues, including severe mental illness, substance abuse, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I currently work primarily with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and who are in recovery from addiction.

Hello! I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a nursing career in psychiatry that spans over a decade. I have experience serving a diverse patient population in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings.
I grew up in NYC and I received my Master's Degree in Nursing from University of Rochester.
I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy isn’t always easy, and I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive place to explore life’s challenges without judgment.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Social Welfare from Stony Brook University and my Master of Social Work from Adelphi University. For the past four and a half years, I’ve worked with teens, adolescents, and adults facing a variety of life’s challenges. I strive to create a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to achieve their goals.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
My name is Ann Butcher. I graduated from St. Lawrence University in 2014 with the intent to help those who struggle with their mental health. I have worked with children, teens and adults who have experience some form of trauma. I also have work with families who have been involved with Social Services, Foster Care and/or the Court System.
It’s natural to feel unsure of who you are and where you want to be as you move into adulthood. Therapy is an opportunity to learn about yourself and how to navigate through new challenges of life. I have over 10+ years of experience empowering young adults to gain coping skills, discover ways to balance life stressors, and communicate effectively to build healthy relationships. Whatever your goals are, my role is to work with you to get closer to living the life you envision.

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.
