Do you feel like the same scene is playing out in your life over and over again, but an inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing confusing and intense feelings and difficulty in understanding why you feel this way? I am a psychotherapist that gives a safe space to children, adults, and couples who want to help make sense of your thoughts/feelings/behaviors. Also, if you're having trouble with your relationships-trouble connecting with people, isolating, or trying to figure out why something turned out the way it did, I can help you uncover that and help you create future relationships you actually want.

Vesna Cvetkovic

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist and board-certified creative arts therapist helping people with anxiety, OCD, depression, and stress at work or home. I am a big believer in the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client. I provide emotional support and a safe environment and aim to work with empathy and warmth to help generate new perspectives, aim at a sense of wholeness, and restore balance and hope. I also encourage my clients to think deeply about their lives and to take actions to create the change they want to see.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy to alleviate symptoms and a psychodynamic approach to explore attachments and relationships. I am also licensed to use non-verbal forms of exploration such as art therapy and have an interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I have been practicing for 10 years.

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.
