I practice primarily from a Gestalt therapy orientation that is humanistic, holistic, and experiential. I also integrate cognitive behavioral, somatic, and internal family systems strategies as needed. I approach therapy collaboratively, with the assumption that you are the expert of your experiences and my role is to guide you toward increased awareness, insight, and behavior integration in order to make meaningful changes that meet your goals. I believe psychotherapy is a powerful tool for achieving self-understanding, reducing distress, and relieving symptoms.
Welcome to Heal With Practice! My name is Pourcher and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I'm a Bronx, NY, native with a passion for holding space for others. I love reminding people that they are human. We experience various emotions that may sometimes feel difficult navigating alone. I would love to provide you with a therapeutic experience that feels empowering, safe, and exhaling.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience in mental health. I am a graduate of Adelphi University and have been trained in the use of DBT, CBT, Trauma Informed Care, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness approaches. I have spent my career in a variety of roles which have allowed me to develop a unique skill set and an integrated approach to treatment.
Have you been let down by the mental health system? If you've been rushed through appointments, given quick diagnoses, or told your labs are "fine" when you know something is off, I want you to know you're not alone—and you're in the right place. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I created my practice for individuals like you who are ready to move beyond symptom-chasing and find a clear, root-cause understanding of their mental health.
I’m warm, direct, and deeply empathetic, with a style that balances compassion and honesty.

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.
