Therapist

I am a clinical social worker with background in substance abuse treatment and mental health. I really enjoy working with clients and working towards their "aha moments". Therapy is a safe space to grow and "let down your hair" so to speak. I never want our time together to be a power struggle/dynamic but rather a place where you can speak your mind and not feel judged.

Leandro Maciel

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and mutual respect. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. I work with clients across the lifespan and have experience supporting people navigating obsessive and personality disorders, interpersonal relationships, self-care, socialization, and other challenges that can leave you feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself. As a New York State–licensed mental health counselor, I bring an integrative perspective to therapy and strive to understand each client as a whole person rather than simply focusing on a diagnosis or presenting concern. I also have a background in music, which continues to be an important part of my life and informs my belief in finding balance, meaning, and your own unique rhythm.

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.
