Therapist

Virtual • New York, NY


I believe the client is the expert of their experience and aim to meet them where they are. I open my heart and expertise to create a gentle sanctuary full of empathy for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Therapy can be awkward and scary at times; it works best when there is collaborative and trusting relationship to help clients in areas of need, while empowering them to use their strengths and learn tools to overcome difficulties. Therapy can also be rewarding a self-reflecting process, and I am honored to be a part of it for any period.

Therapist

I have nearly 15 years of experience supporting adults and professionals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I’m licensed in NY, NJ, Arizona and Florida, and my focus is on creating a warm, safe, and collaborative space where we can work toward your goals together.

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful growth. You are the captain of the ship, guiding the direction of your healing, and I serve as a trusted co-captain helping you navigate the course. I may offer tools or “homework” to support your progress between sessions, but I also value simply holding space for you to reflect and be yourself.

Compassion and integrity are central to my therapeutic process—I show up with consistency, care, and professionalism so you always feel supported and understood. Together, we’ll focus on cultivating deeper self-awareness, emotional balance, and more fulfilling connections in your life.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • New York, NY


Hey there! I hope you will not hang out with me for a long time. I am here to evaluate your challenge and suggest a way out of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and such. Therapy must be short and effective, not a drag.

I offer:

  • Short-term holistic therapy. It means we look at your lifestyle and mainly: what you think, what you believe in, if you are physically active, if you eat junk, drink sodas and alcohol, if you watch junk, and how you dress. Your posture matter as well. All of these are pillars of your success for your mental health.

If you need diagnostic evals for your schools and work:

  • Borderline Personality Disorder evaluations
  • ADHD & Autism evaluations

If you think you are super strange and have nobody to talk to about your UFO abductions and psychic visits- you are at the right place.

I offer clinically rooted and evidence based sessions

  • Support for dissociation , UFO dreams, out-of-body experiences and all that cool staff.
  • ESA psychiatric evaluations for qualified NYC clients

I hold a degree in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University School of Social Work and am a licensed psychotherapist in New York City.

Gina Sacino

Therapist

Virtual • New York


My work centers women and queer adults who wish to soften after life has tried to harden them. I specialize in working with folks who are:

  • healing painful patterns
  • building healthier relationships
  • processing grief & loss
  • navigating chronic illness/stress
  • working through difficult family dynamics
  • unmasking
  • connecting with their identity
  • exploring the impact institutional/personal trauma

I am a queer, gender non-conforming person. I use they/she/he pronouns. I’m Puerto Rican & Italian and I identify as mixed race. That identity affords me a whole lot, while also leaving me feeling quite lost at times. I move through the world in a body that has chronic illness and is dynamically disabled. I think it’s important to take these experiences and translate them into my work when appropriate. I am not affiliated with any religious institution, though I did grow up Catholic. I live by my principles, and am deeply passionate about social justice, food, culture, and sweatpants.

Both in clinical settings and in my personal life, I have been described as principled, observant, quick witted, dedicated, soft, direct, whimsical, rebellious, and genuine.

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.
