Find a therapist in New York — covered by insurance

I'm glad you're here, and I want you to know that reaching out takes courage. I support individuals navigating a wide range of concerns — anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Whatever brings you here, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported.

As a seasoned therapist I have found that the patient/therapist relationship is the cornerstone in building the therapeutic alliance. Life presents us with many challenges and I will help you face and deal with them. Our life’s journey is often marked by unexpected circumstances that are out of our control, childhood traumas, and so much else life has to present us with. I am experienced , compassionate and empathetic and we can explore together what your goals are and how to achieve them. My hope is that you will feel the safety to express and share anything and expect a non-judgmental and supportive response. I will be your therapeutic partner in working towards your goals to help you live a more positive life

Hi, I’m Nikki — owner of Dragonfly Haven Wellness LCSW PLLC. I’m looking forward to starting our work together.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University, earned in 2003. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges in both outpatient and school-based mental health settings.

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My approach is warm and collaborative, while also helping to point out connections to support your growth. I draw from a blend of psychodynamic therapy, relational approaches, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and Encompass co-occurring treatment to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change.

I’ve recently completed a certified integrative mental health provider course and somatic technique training to focus more on body-based approaches alongside traditional talk therapy to support healing as a whole-person process.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are and knowing that I am here to work alongside you as you move towards change.

I offer a warm, understanding, and compassionate environment when working with patients. I have sixteen years experience in evidence-based therapy and deep expertise in providing counseling in the areas of trauma and wellness. I am certified in DBT and am seasoned in utilizing motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and holistic wellness in my work with patients. I am committed to helping patients find their strengths and utilize these strengths to live their best lives.

I have had the pleasure of practicing psychotherapy for more than 15 years helping adolescent and adults in both individual and family therapy. As a minority LBGTQ+ identified therapist, you and I will utilize Cognitive Behavior to explore and examine your thoughts, feelings and behaviors towards more rationally conscious and healthy patterns

I have experience working with clients who have experienced troubled childhood. I work to unpack early experiences and rebuild. I create a safe space for clients to feel comfortable and share their experiences.

I believe in continuing the pursuit of normalizing mental health treatment. It can be challenging going through the process of accepting and creating the momentum to take those steps, but it is a testament to your personal strength. I have been providing therapy services since 2021 as a Licensed Master Social Worker, and have been providing services as a fully licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2025. I work with clients between the ages of 18-75 who experience a range of mental health conditions and needs.
