My name is Francesca DeBiaso, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed and board certified Creative Arts Therapist and certified yoga instructor.
As someone who identifies as neurodivergent (ADHD) and part of a blended, mixed-race family, I value creating a safe, inclusive space that honors each person’s unique background and needs.
Mrs. Evon Czok is a dual-certified Psychiatric and Family Practice Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience. A top graduate of her class (Mount Carmel College of Nursing, 2019, Ursuline College, 2025). She is deeply committed to partnering with clients on their journey toward wholeness. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood concerns, binge-eating behaviors, stress, emotional health, and supporting wellness and sustainable change through life transitions.
With all the possible stressors in life, it can sometimes be difficult to know what is keeping us from being the best version of ourselves. In my practice, we will identify what is working and explore possible areas for change. No matter your struggles, the goal will be to help you identify and build on your strengths and become the person you aspire to be. My first goal is to create a supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood. We will focus on your unique lived experiences, including how both personal and social factors can influence the ways you live and grow in the world.
You’ve spent years perfecting the art of "fine." You’ve mastered the mask, you’ve white-knuckled your way through the sensory overload of the workday, and you’ve managed the "high-functioning" anxiety that everyone else thinks is just "ambition." But when you get home, the tank is empty. The ADHD noise is deafening, and the weight of past trauma makes it feel like you’re constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. I see you. And I know how exhausting it is to perform your own life. Let's find the version of your life that doesn't require you to be exhausted all the time
Many people come to therapy when life feels heavy, confusing, or stuck. You may long for change but feel unsure of how to move forward. My work is about gently opening space for healing and growth by deepening the quality of your relationships. Relationships can involve your experience with yourself and others and may include food, sexuality, your body, work, or money. Through a holistic, trauma-informed lens, I help people soften painful patterns, honor their stories, and create new ways of relating and adapt these approaches to neurodivergent clients. Together, we can explore how the past has shaped you, tend to the hurts that remain, and nurture the parts of you ready to grow. My role is to walk beside you, offering curiosity, compassion, and guidance, as you navigate challenges, discover new possibilities, and begin to enjoy the adventure of your life again.
Hi, I'm Nicole Picarello, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience providing mental health counseling. I help adolescents and adults work through past and present struggles that impact their mental health using an integrative approach that tailors counseling to each persons specific needs. Modalities include talk therapy, CBT, meditation, stress management, and more.
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, and I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs and goals. I value authenticity, cultural sensitivity, and helping clients feel empowered as they work toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
I believe in the ability of each individual to seek and achieve change in their life. Our life experiences often shape our patterns of thinking, the things we do, and how we see the world. My goal as a therapist is to offer support in moving past your current barriers and facilitating insights that will lead you to sustainable change.

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.
