Whatever brought you here, whether it is navigating a chronic condition, supporting a child who learns differently, or simply feeling stuck, you deserve care that meets you where you are. I am Sara, a Licensed Clinical Neuropsychologist with 17 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and seniors across New York. My approach is warm and creative, and I focus on goals that are realistic and truly attainable. I would love to help you take that next step.
I truly enjoy helping people to overcome disruptive and difficult emotions and reactions. I received my PhD from Duke University and was fortunate enough to train post-doctorally with Dr. Albert Ellis, the father of cognitive therapy, who taught me to approach all problems with optimism and kindness. I have been practicing for over 40 years and have the pleasure of seeing many clients discover their own power over their emotional state.
Hi, I’m Rebecca! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. I graduated with my Master's Degree in Social Work in May 2019 and became licensed in September 2019. Since then, I have worked full time in outpatient community mental health. Through out my education and employment, I have specialized in working with adults with co-occurring disorders (mental health and addiction). I am currently working with individuals 18+.
I help you simplify your medications and narrow down to 1-2 medications that work best for you. My patients would describe me as thoughtful and caring. I strive for patient focused care and manage symptoms with medications that you feel comfortable taking. You set the pace of your treatment. I believe in informed and collaborative decision making.
At the core of my work is a belief in the healing power of authentic connection. If you’re looking for a space where you can show up as your full self and explore what healing means to you, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

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.
