Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with 8 years of experience specializing in anxiety, OCD, depression, and trauma. I work with adolescents and
adults who want to understand what is keeping them stuck and build real tools to change it. I am warm, direct, and I take the work seriously without taking myself too
seriously. Mostly, I try to be the kind of therapist I would have wanted to find.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and free from judgment. I work collaboratively and believe therapy should meet you where you are. My goal is to support you in gaining clarity and confidence as you navigate what brought you to therapy.
I'm Dr. Iryna Krotava, a licensed clinical psychologist. I specialize on relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, sexuality, life transitions, and multicultural issues.
Hi, my name is Dr. Mark Aghakhan and I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in a variety of therapeutic, educative, consultative, and evaluative services. I utilize interventions that best match my client’s style and approach toward everyday challenges.
Caroline Cornman is a licensed mental health counselor who listens deeply and offers nonjudgmental, culturally competent care. Her therapy style combines psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and grief counseling based on the needs of each client. She has worked with individuals of all ages, from three years old to seniors, as well as couples and families.
I work with high-functioning women — professionals, caregivers, high-achievers, first-generation successes — who've spent years being the strong one, the reliable one, the one everyone else leans on. You don't have to be in crisis to belong here; many of the women I work with are functioning exceptionally well by every external measure, which is exactly why the internal cost so often goes unseen, even by themselves. I understand that perfectionism, chronic self-doubt, difficulty resting, and over-responsibility for other people's feelings aren't individual defects — they're adaptive responses to systems that taught you your worth was conditional on your output. If you've been in therapy before and left feeling like the goal was to help you cope with your life rather than question the parts of it that aren't working, I offer something different. I'm not here to help you perform wellness more efficiently. I'm here to help you gain insight into what shaped you.
I am a licensed psychologist with more than 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My background in both school psychology and clinical psychology has given me the opportunity to help people navigate a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, behavioral concerns, family and relationship difficulties, school-related issues, and major life transitions.
I began my career as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research on traditional medicine in Sochi, Russia. I presented my work at the United States Embassy in Moscow, highlighting cross-cultural perspectives in healthcare and integrative practice.
After completing my grant, I attended New York University (NYU). I then completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. I went on to earn my doctorate from the University of San Diego, California, where I focused on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care.
I am passionate about working with Veterans and individuals experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders. In 2023, I completed CIIS training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. In 2025, I was among the first providers in Colorado and in the country to become licensed as a psilocybin facilitator.
I am a double board-certified mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner working predominantly with individuals ages 18-65. I hold master's degrees from Pace University. As both an advanced practice nurse and a psychiatric nurse at heart, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings including inpatient care ( NewYork-Presbyterian), outpatient services and teaching future advanced practice nurses. Currently, I provide only telehealth services at this time but in-person in the near future.
*disclaimer- at this time I am unable to assist in those seeking controlled medications (stimulants/benzodiazepine).
I work with adults and adolescents seeking compassionate, collaborative care—people who are motivated to grow, curious about understanding themselves, and ready to make meaningful changes. I welcome clients navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
I provide a warm & collaborative space to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. Together we'll clarify your values and create goals that feel right for you, using a holistic, mindful approach that honors your strengths and pace.
Hello, my name is Richard Leone, LCSW, but please feel free to call me Rick. I provide therapy services to individuals throughout New York. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Nazareth University and utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions to help clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health challenges. I also have experience helping individuals navigate relationship stressors, breakups, and the emotional difficulties that often accompany major life transitions. Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent three years working as an Intake Coordinator for a local hospital, which provided me with valuable experience in mental health assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, building coping skills, and working toward meaningful change. I genuinely love what I do and look forward to meeting and helping each and every client I have the privilege of working with.

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.
