Hello, and welcome. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Veteran who is passionate about helping people feel safe, supported, and understood. I know starting therapy can feel like a big step, so I work to create a space where you can relax, be yourself, and feel comfortable sharing. I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds, including veterans, adolescents, and individuals on the autism spectrum.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My style is practical and solution-focused, empowering clients to take small, actionable steps toward meaningful personal growth.
My goal is to guide clients to improve their interpersonal relationships, overcome life stresses, and feel less depressed and anxious. With 30 years of experience, I view therapy as a partnership where client and therapist work together. If setting goals and having an accountability partner in reaching those goals resonates, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
Whether you're navigating divorce, adjusting to motherhood, managing postpartum challenges, or coping with chronic mental health concerns, you deserve a space where you're truly heard and supported without judgment. If you're a woman facing major life changes, a BIPOC individual seeking culturally competent care, or someone managing stress and mental health challenges, you don't have to face it alone. Together, we'll work through what's holding you back and help you find clarity, resilience, and a path forward that honors who you are and where you want to go.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience providing psychotherapy and behavioral health consultation in inpatient medical, psychiatric, and consult-liaison settings. I have worked with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions.
I recognize that each person brings a unique set of experiences, strengths, and challenges into therapy. My role is not to assume what will be most helpful, but to understand what has brought you here, what matters most to you, and how we can work together in a way that feels meaningful and relevant to your life.
Hi, I am Edith. Thanks for being here!!
I graduated from University of Washington, Master of Social Work in 2012 and has been in this field for 14 years. I have worked in hospitals, and community based mental health. My passion is working with women who is trying to get pregnant, who is pregnant and who is navigating parenthood. My other passion is working with adults who were diagnosed late in life with ADHD. A lot of my clients are also dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, loss and life transitions.
Starting therapy often means saying things out loud for the first time. You don't have to have the words ready — that's part of the work.
I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions, including the particular strain of rebuilding a life in a new country, holding a family across borders, or carrying a loss that happened somewhere else.
Much of my career has been spent with people on the worst day of their lives. I responded to the 1999 Vargas disaster in Venezuela, and worked with Project Liberty in New York after 9/11, training paramedics, firefighters, and highway police along the way. You do not have to protect me from what happened to you.
I trained first as a psychologist in Venezuela and completed my master's in mental health counseling in New York. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Connecticut, a National Certified Counselor, and EMDR-certified.
Sessions are available in English and Spanish. Not translated — I work in both.
If you're deciding whether to reach out, you don't need to be certain. You only need to be curious enough to start.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY & ID. I have 27 yrs of experience working with clients of all ages, religions, sexual orientations, economic levels, & races with issues of domestic violence, maternal mental/physical health, foster care, marital, work, relationship, & health stress.
As a graduate of New York University with over 25 years of therapeutic support of children, adolescents and young adults in the foster care, psychiatric, educational and substance abuse settings, I provide a compassionate and accepting approach to our time together. As a married mother of adult children, as well as one with Christian values, I am attuned to those who are challenged with life's transitions and struggles who could use support during those changing seasons of life.
I grew up in the Bay Area, CA and my parents are first-generation immigrants from Taiwan. I went to college in Los Angeles, and have also spent time in Tucson, AZ and New Orleans, LA. I’m passionate about providing therapy within the appropriate social and cultural contexts of the world we live in today. I truly enjoy helping others gain better self-esteem and understand themselves better in order to reduce symptoms of depression and/or anxiety.
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.

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.
