Therapist

Hi, I’m Destiny. I'm a licensed psychotherapist who believes therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who truly understands you. I work with adults who are feeling anxious, depressed, disconnected, overwhelmed in relationships, have experienced trauma or just don't feel like themselves lately. I use evidence-based approaches to help you untangle what’s weighing you down and reconnect with your happiest, empowered self. If you're ready for therapy that’s both supportive and real, I’d love to meet you.

Lee Yuzary

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Feeling trapped by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or procrastination? I help you gain calm and control with practical, evidence-based CBT and ERP -informed tools. I help adults with anxiety and OCD intrusive thoughts, reduce chronic overthinking, and feel steady again in their daily life and relationships. My approach integrates ERP and CBT for practical symptom relief with deeper attachment and parts-based work to address long-standing relational patterns, self-criticism, and codependency. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and paced to your individual path.

Many functioning adults struggle with anxiety, OCD, or procrastination that persists even when they understand what’s happening.

These patterns aren’t a lack of willpower —

They may be learned responses that can be changed with the right support and tools.

Together, we create tailored plan for transcending patterns that have kept you stuck.

You’ll leave sessions with language for your patterns, tools that work in real time, and a quiet confidence you didn’t think was possible.

I specialize in:

  • OCD and intrusive thought spirals
  • Anxiety that shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, or constant second-guessing, emotional eating
  • Codependent relationship dynamics
  • Navigating old-school family dynamics without shrinking yourself

People tell me they value my sincerity, warmth, and ability to make them feel truly seen — while also being gently challenged to grow.

If you’re ready to stop spinning and start shifting, schedule a session with me today.

Happy patient looking away

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.
