Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not like yourself lately? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I specialize in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and more.
I'm Dr. Keara Mageras, a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York, offering remote therapy to adults working through anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and career changes. I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology (Psy.D.) from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University, an APA-accredited program, after completing my undergraduate degree in psychology at Duke University. My training spans several of New York's leading hospital systems, including an APA-accredited internship at Zucker Hillside Hospital and a post-doctoral fellowship at Mount Sinai Behavioral Health Center, where I went on to serve as a Supervising Psychologist and faculty at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Over the past eight years I've worked with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and at very different points in their lives. If any of this resonates, I'd be glad to hear from you — I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can talk through what you're looking for and get a feel for whether we're a good fit.
Hi! I'm a clinical psychologist with almost 10 years of experience who provides individual and couples psychotherapy. I enjoy working with adults of all ages from a wide range of backgrounds who are experiencing issues related to life transitions, depression, anxiety, difficulties with sex and intimacy, family conflict, and other interpersonal problems. I also have extensive experience working with those from disadvantaged backgrounds who may need support coping with social trauma and adversity, particularly around issues of race and other marginalized identities.
Hi, I'm Jean-Jeffrey Marcellus, DNP, PMHNP-BC, AGNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 19 years of healthcare experience. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and substance use disorders.
I specialize in Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for alcohol, opioid, benzodiazepine, kratom, and prescription medication dependence. My approach is collaborative and personalized, focusing on creating treatment plans that support each individual's goals, recovery, and overall well-being.
I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments, providing a welcoming, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I am committed to delivering culturally responsive care and making high-quality mental health services accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds.
I believe the therapeutic process is about relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth. I have a thought-provoking approach to treatment. My approach allows me to directly connect with clients in a manner that is comfortable and authentic. Through treatment I provide my clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy based on psychoanalytical self psychology training.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.
Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.
I am warm, friendly, invested in my client's growth and strive for my clients to reaching goals. I am a good listener but also am interactive and lend my perspective and provide a different point of view. I am supportive, encouraging, motivating, positive, empathic and meet clients where they are.
Starting therapy can give you space to slow down and talk through what you’re experiencing. I’m Keronica Grant, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) serving clients in New York. I work with people who are looking for support with their thoughts, feelings, or life circumstances. Whether you’re taking a first step toward therapy or returning to care, I welcome the opportunity to understand what brings you in, what matters to you, and what you hope to get from care.
I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a doctorate in psychology and 20 years of experience working with adults and seniors, including people navigating ADHD, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and major life transitions. My approach is faith-informed: I integrate a Christian worldview into my clinical work for clients who want that, and I offer a secular, evidence-based framework for those who don't. Either way, I take the whole person seriously — not just the symptom. I completed brain health training through the Amen Clinic, which has meaningfully shaped how I think about ADHD and cognitive health in older adults. I'm also a published author: my 2019 book came out of doctoral research on fear, dementia, and the aging mind.
I'm a trauma-trained therapist based in New York with experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, and the challenges that come with getting older — things like identity shifts, chronic health conditions, and feeling like life looks different than you expected. I especially enjoy working with women navigating those in-between seasons, when they're not quite sure who they are or where they're headed. I have a background working with kids and families as well, and I'm open to expanding in that direction as my practice grows.

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.
