Vulnerability to hurt, disappointment, sadness, and grief are a normal part of the human experience. In trying to make sense of these struggles, we often turn them inward, forming painful beliefs about ourselves and the world that can shape our relationships and sense of self.

I believe that a genuine, authentic therapist-client relationship has the power to heal. I'm not looking to "fix" my clients, but instead become a fellow traveler in their therapeutic process. We will work collaboratively to identify and remove both conscious and unconscious barriers that may be keeping you stuck, moving you toward a life that is meaningful, authentic, and purposeful. This may involve offering new ideas and techniques, or identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns, transforming them into more adaptive behaviors. In this safe, judgment-free space, you can reconnect to who you truly are.

I completed my graduate studies at New York University's Silver School of Social Work and have worked in both private practice where I served adult individuals and couples, and community-based settings, focused on protecting families and strengthening secure attachments. These experiences have shaped my deep respect for the ways people adapt to early relational environments—and how those adaptations can later create both resilience and pain.

I work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, OCD, relational challenges, attachment wounds, family of origin issues, patterns rooted in early family dynamics and the intergenerational effects of trauma on parenting and relationships, including narcissistic abuse.

I hold a special interest in those impacted by the issues faced by adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families.

Miriam Weinberg

Miriam Weinberg

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


I am a clinical psychologist who utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) framework to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors contributing toward psychological struggles in their lives. I help clients gain more awareness of their internal experiences, such as thought and emotional patterns, so they can accept, change, and ease their experienced pain. Additionally, I help individuals explore their behaviors and relationships, so they can create life changes in line with their short and long term goals and values. I work with teenagers, adults, and families on strengthening their emotional regulation, adaptive problem solving, communication, and cognitive coping skills.


Over and above the specific type of therapy I use, there is a main principal that guides all of my therapeutic work, which is establishing a therapeutic relationship that is non-judgmental and collaborative. I make it a constant goal to have a better understanding of the complex nature of my clients and their surroundings, so that I can help each person through the prism of collaboration and humility. As a psychologist, I feel it is an immense privilege and honor to sit with an individual’s raw emotion and pain, and through therapy, I hope to slow down time and help clients build upon their strengths, continuously enhancing their multifaceted narrative that is life.

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 an Anxiety 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.
