Hi there!

I am a licensed psychotherapist with diagnostic privilege, providing a holistic person first approach. I deeply care about humans and particularly serving the under served, and BI-POC communities. As an Afro-Indigenous / West Indian woman, I understand the vitality of intersectionality and connection to culture in mental health settings. My specific area of expertise is Forensic Mental Health Counseling with an Advanced Certificate in Victimology Studies, and having directly worked alongside individuals who have experienced: domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, sex and labor trafficking, hate crimes, and other forms of interpersonal violence. I have worked with a wide range of populations from youth, young adults, adults, and seniors. The main population I served for the last 6 years has been marginalized individuals with SMI/SPMI [serious mental illness] in homeless services including street homeless outreach, shelter, and supportive housing. I specialize in supporting those with PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, and other dysregulated / self destructive behaviors.

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.
