One of the reasons I became a therapist is because I deeply believe in people’s ability to grow, heal, and write their story no matter their circumstances. I truly care about people and the courage it takes to share their experiences. I hold a deep respect for the dignity and worth of every person, and I value authenticity, compassion, and practical strategies that bring light and renewal into everyday life.
I began practicing as a mental health counselor in 2013 and have worked with adults, adolescents, families and couples struggling with disorders ranging from depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, to borderline personality disorder. My practice is informed by Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — both evidence-based interventions that help clients make positive changes in behaviors and build coping skills and strategies to live more fully. I help clients build their own strengths to make change possible. I received my MA in Counseling in 2012 from Maryville University in St. Louis and am licensed in both New York State and Missouri. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a public relations and marketing executive and business consultant. I hold a Masters degree in German and speak German fluently.
Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.
I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.
Maybe you've been carrying this longer than you'd like to admit. Anxiety that won't
settle, patterns that keep repeating, or a quiet sense of feeling disconnected from
yourself or your relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional
difficulties, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. I believe you are more
than the challenges that bring you to therapy, and I aim to understand you as a whole
person, not just your symptoms. I use a blend of IFS, psychodynamic therapy, CBT,
mindfulness, and somatic approaches to support growth and meaningful change.
I am a licensed clinical social worker that provides therapeutic counseling to adolescents, adults and families. I have over 15 years experience working with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, Bipolar disorder, trauma ,grief, and ADHD.

Along with my specialized training in Depression, Anxiety, Autism, ADHD, and a wide range of other conditions, my multicultural training provides an additional edge in working with diverse populations.
Are you finding that life is difficult to cope with due to lack of control of your emotions? I have a special interest in working with people who experience OCD, anxiety and ADHD. I will create a space where you can be your genuine self while feeling unjudged. Maybe you are unsure what your genuine self is, if so then our space can be the perfect start to discovering it. I know that being vulnerable can be difficult however through therapy, you do not need to face it alone. While beginning this journey of understanding I will guide you in the exploration of yourself as well as help you find acceptance and compassion.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Ecotherapist with extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, families and groups. I believe every person has the capacity for growth, resilience, and healing. I also hold a systems and climate-aware perspective, working to support clients within the challenging times / systems we are experiencing. My clients include those who are navigating life transitions or experiencing challenging emotions, i.e. anxiety, depression, loss of purpose, grief, or identity confusion. I also see couples who may be struggling with conflict or communication challenges.
In therapy I provide an environment that will allow you to express yourself freely and openly. I am genuine and supportive, but can be direct and challenge you to adapt your thinking when necessary. I strive for my clients to feel more focused, emotionally regulated, and confident. I work with adults who are suffering from anxiety including OCD and panic, as well as depression, grief, and relationship issues.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with an MSW from Columbia University.

I'm a RegisteredPlay Therapist & mom of 3 boys and 3 step-sons! We all need a little help sometimes and that's ok.

My name is Edili Marleny Maldonado, and I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York. I have been working in the mental health field for the past nine years. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, elders, high-risk clients, and clients from different social backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, ages, genders, economic statuses, and mental health disorders.
I have an eclectic approach to therapy. Some approaches that have been consistently receptive with clients are cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, modeling, motivational interviewing, etc., which I generally use. However, I typically prefer to match the clients' needs to specific therapeutic approaches, thereby significantly increasing the effectiveness of treatment.
My desire to help others drove me to work in the mental health field; thus, I strive to help clients improve themselves to lead healthier, fulfilling lives by implementing various coping skills. I aim to empower clients through insight and strategies to enrich their lives further and become self-sufficient in managing their problems, issues, and situations. Thus, clients gain self-awareness, acceptance of self, harmony, and mental balance/equilibrium.
My expertise comprises working with individuals struggling with ADHD, grief/loss, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, panic, stress, and mood disorders. I am also proficient in Spanish and have experience providing treatment in that language.
Let's begin the healthy and healing process together.
I am a board certified Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals and couples and provides care for patients who struggle with interpersonal relationships, depression and anxiety. I studied at Brooklyn College, where I obtained a MA in Mental Health Counseling. I also worked in the profession for over four years, where I established my objection relations & cognitive restructuring techniques that have been a crucial part of my practice and my patients' success and progress.
You've been carrying a lot — and you've probably been doing it alone for longer than
you'd like to admit. Maybe it's anxiety that follows you into every room, grief that
never fully lifted, the exhaustion of new motherhood, or trauma that keeps finding its
way back. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to untangle it by yourself.
I'm Rita Sionova, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience
working with adults, adolescents, and families across New York. I specialize in
trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, maternal mental health, and the kind of life
transitions that reshape everything you thought you knew about yourself. My
background spans healthcare, legal, and educational settings — which means I
understand the full weight of the real-world pressures, not just the clinical picture.
I offer therapy in both English and Russian, and I provide culturally responsive
care for clients navigating immigrant experiences, generational patterns, and the
particular challenges that come with living between two worlds. All sessions are via
tele-health, available to clients across New York State.

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.
