Julia Suklevski

Julia Suklevski

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Throughout my career as a clinical social worker and psychotherapist, I have worked with clients of all lived experiences, and find it meaningful that I am able to walk with clients from point A to point B (or sometimes, all the way to point Z and back again). It is significant to be witness to their growth, supporting them throughout very critical moments in their life journey, and ultimately, seeing them achieve their goals in therapy and beyond.

Part of what drew me to become a psychotherapist was having meaningful experiences where I felt supported in my own emergence in the world as an ever-evolving, multidimensional, curious, and empathetic person. From the very start of the therapy process, I emphasize to my client that I am here to offer support, guidance, or dive into the important work that they are investing in.

I also would like to share a more concise answer: I am a human being, trying to figure out how to navigate a complex world, and all of the dynamics, just like you! I say this to emphasize that I find points of connecting with clients to form a strong therapeutic alliance, as I am on your team, and want to see you excel.

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 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.
