Therapists in New York

Hello, my name is Alisa Ibragimova, LMHC-D, CASAC-M. I am a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in substance use, complex trauma, and other issues. I began my career as a substance use counselor working in outpatient and residential treatment programs. I have experience in providing counseling and support for individuals who struggle with substance use, trauma, depression, anxiety, anger issues, domestic violence, childhood physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, family scapegoating, workplace bullying/mobbing, racial discrimination, grief, loss, and suicidal ideation.

I am a seasoned and compassionate therapist with over 24 years of experience and strong clinical skills, serving at various mental health treatment settings in New York City, including acute care, outpatient care, crisis intervention hotline and school outreach. I have worked at the outpatient clinic of South Beach Psychiatric Center for over 21 years, providing treatment for those individuals with severe mental illness.

I am a Licensed, New York–based psychotherapist who provides a warm, safe, and growth-oriented environment for you to engage in meaningful self-exploration. Together, we’ll look closely at the struggles that may be holding you back, understand the patterns influencing your well-being, and create space for healing. Through this collaborative process, you’ll have the opportunity to reconnect with your best, most authentic self and build a stronger foundation for lasting personal growth.

My name is Jenny Karina Rieke, and I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who provides compassionate, evidence-based psychotherapy to adults, couples, and families. My work is dedicated to helping clients find clarity, healing, and the right path forward—both individually and within their closest relationships. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders, and I offer experienced support for marital conflict, relationship challenges, and complex family dynamics. With a warm and collaborative approach, I integrate mindfulness-based methods, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and culturally responsive care to meet clients where they are and guide them toward meaningful and lasting change. My goal is to empower individuals, strengthen couples, and help families build healthier communication, deepen connection, and enhance emotional well-being.

My goal is to make therapy feel welcoming and supportive, so it’s less intimidating than people often expect. I help people manage anxiety and build back their self-confidence. Together, we’ll figure out what helps you handle stress and feel more in control. By working together, you’ll better understand yourself, decide what changes you want, and make a plan to reach your goals. It’s normal to feel unsure or nervous about starting therapy and sharing personal things. In my practice, we go at a comfortable pace and always respect your boundaries.

I am James Cherry, a trauma-certified, DBT-certified therapist and clinical supervisor specializing in complex trauma, personality disorders, and relational healing. With a background as a high school educator, I bring a deep passion for learning, psychoeducation, and accessible care into therapy. My practice is neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and rooted in evidence-based care that fosters resilience, clarity, connection, and lifelong growth.

I have been a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker since graduating Columbia University in 1983. Subsequently, I completed 2 fellowships one in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the other in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at The Postgraduate Center and Center For Rational Emotive Therapy, under Dr. Albert Ellis, in New York City. I have had extensive training in family and couples counseling and I am successful in creating change for my clients.

I have been working as a psychotherapist for 20 years and in a variety of settings before that. I enjoy working with all ages and through different hands on methods that evoke thoughtfulness. Activities for children and adults help clients determine obstacles and ways to overcome them. I am open to working individually and in groups with couples and families.

Hi, I’m Marisa Markowitz, LCSW, CASAC. I’m a warm, collaborative, and goal-focused therapist who believes real change happens when you feel supported, understood, and empowered. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, high expectations, life transitions, and the desire to create more balance and ease. My approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities—CBT, DBT, EMDR, MI, and narrative therapy—always tailored to your unique strengths and pace. In our sessions, you can expect a grounded, compassionate space where we identify clear goals, build practical tools, and create momentum toward the life you want. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or simply ready for growth, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence and clarity. Let’s get started when you’re ready.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) providing individual and couples therapy for adults who want to better understand themselves and their relationships. My work is rooted in the belief that lasting change begins with awareness—of our thoughts, emotional patterns, and the ways we relate to ourselves and others. I work with individuals who struggle with self-criticism, doubt, emotional disconnection, and a persistent sense that they are never doing “enough.” Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel internally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their sense of worth. Through therapy, they learn to recognize unhelpful patterns of self-talk, develop greater emotional clarity, and build a more compassionate and grounded relationship with themselves. I also work with couples who feel caught in cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. Rather than focusing only on the content of arguments, I help couples understand the emotional dynamics and attachment patterns driving their interactions. By reducing judgment and increasing awareness, partners are able to communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and reconnect in more meaningful ways. My approach is collaborative, insight-oriented, and client-centered. I integrate elements of cognitive-behavioral and attachment-based work to help clients understand the “why” behind their reactions and practice new ways of responding. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or assigning blame, but about creating space for clarity, understanding, and intentional change. Clients often report feeling calmer, more self-aware, and better equipped to navigate relationships and life challenges. My goal is to help people feel more grounded in themselves, more connected in their relationships, and more confident moving forward.

I have over 40 years experience counseling others, first as a pastoral minister and then as a psychotherapist since 2001. I earned my Masters in Divinity from the Washington Theological Union in 1993 and served as a youth minister, hospital and prison chaplain and parish priest until 2000. I earned my Masters in Social Work from the University at Albany, NY in 2001 and worked in a mental health clinic in rural New York state for 14 years. There I assessed and treated a wide variety of issues and provided a broad range of treatment approaches. I've supervised other therapists and taught clinical social work practice to graduate students for over 9 years. In 2018, while teaching as an adjust instructor in the social work department of Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, FL, I started my private practice as an independent contractor for a psychiatric practice. Since then I moved back to the Albany, NY area and branched out to see clients privately who live in NY as well as in Florida. I currently am licensed in NY, FL and North Carolina and can see clients that live in or migrate throughout the year among those three states.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, who works primarily with women and teens navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma. My goal is to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can truly feel seen and heard. I currently offer individual therapy via telehealth, focusing on helping clients better understand themselves, build confidence, and reconnect with their sense of self.

I believe in a client driven therapy session, meaning I meet you at your need. You dictate how we spend our time though I will help to guide you if you need it. I like to think I'm direct but I will support you in achieving your goals and process whichever situations are concerning you.

I’m a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic-oriented therapist who works in a warm, relational, and insight-driven way. I help clients understand the deeper emotional patterns, internal conflicts, and early experiences that shape how they feel and respond today. My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and a belief that real change comes from understanding the meaning behind our struggles—not just managing symptoms. In our work together, I pay attention to the themes that show up in your relationships, your history, and even in the therapeutic relationship itself. These patterns often hold the key to why certain feelings or situations keep repeating. By exploring them at a comfortable pace, we create room for clarity, emotional relief, and lasting growth. Clients come to me for help with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, family conflict, self-esteem, and difficult life transitions. I offer a thoughtful, steady space where you can explore your inner world, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward a more authentic and meaningful life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with specialized psychoanalytic training at the William Alanson White Institute in NYC. I work with clients to get what they want out of life.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion and empathy with the aim of helping you navigate life's challenges. Using a psychodynamic approach, we will work to uncover behavioral patterns which are impacting your life now. This process helps you gain critical insight to confront barriers that are preventing you from achieving your full potential.

I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, build self-awareness, and develop practical tools for personal and relational growth. In my work with individuals, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck and guide them toward healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges, I focus on helping you gain insight and build the confidence to make positive, lasting changes. With families, my approach centers on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering understanding. I use a systemic perspective to help family members recognize how their interactions impact one another and work together to create new patterns of connection and cooperation. My goal is to help families move from conflict and disconnection toward empathy, balance, and mutual respect. My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Functional Family Therapy (FFT), along with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions are tailored to each client’s goals and often include hands-on strategies to apply between sessions for continued progress. I believe growth happens when clients feel safe, heard, and supported. My role is to provide guidance, encouragement, and a structured space for reflection and change. Whether you’re seeking personal healing or stronger family relationships, therapy offers the opportunity to gain clarity, strengthen connections, and live with greater purpose and peace. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward emotional wellness and healthier relationships, I’d be honored to work with you.

Hello, my name is Luke. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of New York. I have been practicing therapy for over 3 years now and have attained significant experience in areas pertaining to depression, anxiety, and much more. My primary approaches to therapy pertaining to cognitive behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy.

My approach emphasizes empathy, compassion, and insight to help my clients better understand the root of their problems as well as how to challenge themselves.

I work with adolescents, adults, and families, treating childhood trauma, family-related issues, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I use my ability to connect well with others and evidence-based techniques to empower clients to gain confidence, develop coping skills, manage emotions, and embrace themselves. In my own life, I have experienced feeling stuck and unable to access my full self. I went on a journey of self-discovery and found what needed to shift for me to fully embrace the challenges I was dealt to lead a productive, joyful life.

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a licensed therapist in New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina who helps people feeling burned out, anxious, or stuck in survival mode reconnect with balance and purpose. Many of my clients come to me after feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships, or the constant pressure to keep going — even when they’re running on empty. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and learn healthier ways to cope. My style is compassionate and collaborative — I meet you where you are and help you build practical tools for stress, boundaries, and self-care that actually fit your life. Before starting my private practice, I worked in behavioral health settings supporting individuals living with substance use, bipolar disorder, and other chronic mental health conditions. That experience taught me that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that real change happens when therapy feels safe, personalized, and empowering. If you’re ready to move from burnout to balance, I’d love to help you take that next step.

Michael holds a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Applied Counseling from Lynn University, specializing in mental health and addiction.

"Every person's journey unfolds at their own pace," Michael reflects. "Being present for those transformative moments—when everything clicks into place—reminds me why I chose this path. If you've ever experienced that sudden clarity, you know exactly what I mean. It's what makes this work endlessly rewarding."

Hi! I am a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in both New York and California.

I also work in private practice, with clients struggling with a wide range of mental health challenges including, Anxiety, PTSD, Depression, Grief, life stage changes, and anger issues. I work with clients to help them process the effect these challenges have. Together we focus on identifying negative thinking patterns or unhelpful behaviors, implementing healthy coping skills, and reducing symptoms.

At my core, I am a therapist who believes in the transformative power of depth, empathy, humor, and the arts. I’ve spent my career helping people understand themselves more fully — not only by reducing symptoms, but by uncovering the narratives, emotions, and self-limiting beliefs that have kept them small or stuck. I work from a humanistic and psychoanalytic foundation, integrating mindfulness, ACT, and solution-focused strategies to help clients access resilience, self-compassion, and real change. I bring a warm, grounded, and creative presence into the room. My background as an artist and writer shapes my work: I’m attentive to symbolism, story, imagination, and the deeper layers of a person’s emotional life. Humor is also one of my most natural tools, not to avoid pain, but to help clients feel safe, open, and connected as they explore difficult experiences. Across corporate mental health, trauma work, refugee support, and private practice, I’ve seen how people flourish when they’re permitted to be fully themselves. I help clients build self-esteem through honesty, curiosity, and acceptance; loosen rigid patterns; and move beyond the internalized messages or roles that no longer serve them.

The therapy room should be safe space to develop a positive relationship with a therapist one has rapport with and I aim to be that therapist for everyone who walks into my office. I utilize multiple tools and theories in sessions; but at the core, I am a person-centered therapist who practices unconditional positive regard for my clients.
