My name is Amanda Egan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have always had a passion of helping others and I am constantly inspired by listening to people’s stories. There are many reasons people look into therapy and whether you just need someone to listen and help you talk things out or you are struggling with something currently, I can help. I have over a decade of clinical experience. I have worked with all ages and populations. Currently I also work as a Middle School Social Worker and assist adolescents in managing their school related stress and anxiety symptoms on a daily basis.


I specialize in anxiety and depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder and many more. I use a strengths based perspective and encourage my patients to use positive self talk. Contact me if you are currently in need of assistance or just need someone to talk to. I am a full time social worker and pitbull Mom but I will make myself available to you as needed.


I encourage everyone, no matter your background, circumstances or symptoms to reach out. If I feel I am not the best therapist to suit your needs, I can provide resources and referrals. Therapy is a big step for some and I am here to walk with you through this process. I provide a safe inclusive environment tailored to your specific needs.

Recognizing that sometimes life's stressors are too much for an individual to deal with on your own can be difficult, however it displays a foundation of strength and determination. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I strive for my practice to be a safe, nonjudgmental space for all who seek support and are endeavoring to improve on their self compassion. You are the expert in your own experience, however if we work together I hope to provide a stable, secure energy to our sessions.

Elizabeth Mckenna

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Thirty years ago I walked into a psychiatric unit as a nurse — long before I became a therapist — and learned something no textbook teaches: people carry the weight of addiction, trauma, and grief alongside jobs, families, and survival. That weight doesn't announce itself politely. Today, I bring that clinical depth to therapy with adults and older adults who are ready to stop white-knuckling through and actually get somewhere. Whether you're managing a decades-long wound, fighting to stay sober, or facing a depression that just won't lift, I have likely sat with someone who felt exactly where you are.

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.
