It's very nice to meet you. I am a psychologist with around twenty years of experience working in schools, hospitals, and community mental health.
Those who seek my support are often grappling with challenging relationships, feeling stuck in unconscious patterns, or navigating the complexities of loss, pain, or shame.
My work is grounded in psychoanalysis, existential therapy, IFS, and liberation psychology.
I also specialize in neurodevelopmental assessment and have expertise in autism testing.
I can help you. Starting the process of self discovery can be a difficult task, making life changes can be equally challenging. Whether it be love, work or another difficult circumstance, I can help you gather the necessary tools to make you a happier and healthier person. I accept several insurances and can assist you on out of network coverage if needed. You are welcome to call me for a consultation and start the process of healing
As a therapist, I bring flexibility and compassion and lead with warmth. I have worked across a range of settings, from supporting at-risk children and military families to community mental health, and that breath shapes how I meet each person exactly where they are.
Life is hard- therapy doesn't have to be! I work hard to create a judgement-free and open space where we work to build deep trust. Compassion, empathy, and sense of humor are an integral part of my practice. I am patient and recognize that relationships are built over time and will work to earn your trust: not expect or demand it. This is the basis on which I've built strong relationships with my long-term clients.
I attended NYU for grad school and then worked with people with chronic homelessness and severe mental illnesses. After that, I transitioned to work in community mental health with families and children with a concentration in trauma. For the last ten years, I've worked full-time with college and grad students so have a specialty working with young adults. When I'm not serving clients, you can find me at the gym, fostering kittens, or on the racetrack trying to beat my last lap.
Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 7 years of experience helping individuals manage mental health and substance use concerns. My approach to therapy is warm, welcoming, client-centered, and often sprinkled with humor and optimism to make the journey feel a little lighter. I believe in meeting clients where they are, and I tailor my techniques to suit each person’s unique strengths and goals.
I work with children (ages 11+), adolescents, and adults, offering support across a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or struggling with substance use, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore your concerns and build meaningful change. I also work with individuals experiencing challenges such as domestic violence, anger management issues, adjustment disorders, and family or romantic relationship struggles. I have extensive experience working with mandated clients and those navigating probation or the criminal justice system.
I hold a Master's degree in Forensic Mental Health Counseling from John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a Bachelor's in Psychology from Siena College. My clinical work includes experience with alcohol, cannabis, opiate, and hallucinogen use disorders, as well as mood and personality disorders including bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. I also support clients coping with grief and loss.
My name is Stephanie Garcia and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience in the field. I'm deeply passionate about supporting others on their mental health journeys, and I believe that everyone deserves a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal and grow.
Hi there, and welcome!
Congrats on taking the first step. As a licensed psychotherapist, my passion is listening and tuning into my clients' strengths, challenges, and what's holding them back from experiencing their best selves - and going from there. I work with adults of all ages, and specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression. I hold a Masters from Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Services, completed a two-year training program at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, and am EMDR trained.
You can have a positive mindset with SOLUTION-FOCUSED THERAPY. Feeling worried, or your thoughts race, your sleep is off, or you get that feeling in your stomach? At times we get frustrated enough with someone that it affects your work, family life, or health. I know how it sucks to be questioning, stuck, and worked up with tension and concern. Then, self-doubt creeps in--but it doesn’t need to be like that anymore. If you’re curious how to get things calmer, under control, and feel more self-assured, I’m here as a confidant who listens deeply AND offers tools that really work. You CAN increase confidence!

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults and couples seeking to better understand themselves, make meaningful changes, and feel less stuck in patterns that no longer work for them. I aim to help individuals with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I value honesty and openness in therapy and bring a warm but straightforward approach to my work. I recognize how vulnerable the therapeutic relationship can be; therefore, I strive to discuss what I notice constructively while creating space for you to be equally open with me. I see the therapeutic relationship and mutual trust as integral to creating meaningful change.
It takes strength and bravery to let others witness our suffering and I will honor that in our work together. I want to assist you in this journey by use of empathy, compassion, attunement and humor. I will help you to embrace your current state while also teaching you how to navigate, contain and process feelings. The focus of my work is to empower you to be the best version of yourself.

Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, so I encourage you to trust your gut as you seek. I have worked with people across the lifespan dealing with life changes, mood and behavioral issues, relationship difficulties, complex trauma, and more. People move at different paces of change in therapy, and I will walk or jog with you as a compassionate, relatable, and realistic guide, working from your strengths as a platform of change. Sometimes therapy is hard and sometimes it feels great. You may laugh, cry, reconsider life choices, and more. We'll work through it all, and you will emerge feeling like a clearer version of yourself.
I'm a psychotherapist trained in creative methods to help move you toward your therapeutic goals. I am also pursuing advanced certification in EMDR therapy, an evidence based, intensive therapeutic intervention addressing nearly every clinical issue from anxiety to complex trauma. I am relationally focused, meaning my job is to attune to you and your needs.
Sometimes even a short interaction can let you know if it could be a fit. I am available for a 15 minute phone intro/consultation so you can get a better sense of our work together. Let's talk so you can decide for yourself. I look forward to hearing from you. You can send an email to set up a call.

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.
