Therapists in New York

I am a licensed mental health provider in the state of New York. I work with clients with many concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD.

I believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, rational-emotive counseling, motivational, and solution-focused therapy.

My goal though treatment is to utilize skills that I have acquired though education and training as well as though other personal and professional experiences. When working with clients I keep a focus on setting obtainable goals with the client and working towards obtaining these goals, in order to work towards change. With over 15 years of experience working with clients who have experienced relationship and sexual trauma, adjustment challenges, compulsive behaviors, anxiety and depression. I have extensive experience specifically working with the college aged population.

Sometimes the things you’re feeling or doing don’t make sense to you yet. You might wonder why certain situations affect you so strongly, how your past is showing up in your life now, or what a diagnosis means for you. You don’t need to have those answers before starting therapy. I’m a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking Latinx/e therapist. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and changes in their lives. I give you room to talk about what’s happening while helping you explore connections, understand your reactions, and figure out what might help. My approach is warm, curious, and down-to-earth.

Rita LaBrew, LMFT, licensed in New York and New Jersey, brings extensive experience in foster care, child welfare, private practice, and telehealth. I provide a collaborative, thoughtful therapy experience grounded in clinical expertise and evidence-informed care. Together, we'll work toward greater insight, emotional resilience, and meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults who are ready to move beyond simply managing symptoms and are willing to explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family-of-origin concerns, life transitions, or longstanding emotional patterns, therapy offers an opportunity to understand not only what you're experiencing, but why. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, integrating psychoeducation to help make complex emotional experiences more understandable and practical. Together, we explore how early relationships, unconscious patterns, protective roles, and present-day experiences influence your emotions, relationships, and decisions. As insight grows, clients often find themselves responding to life's challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and intention. Clients often describe my style as thoughtful, direct, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where curiosity replaces self-criticism, where difficult experiences can be understood without judgment, and where lasting change develops through deeper self-awareness rather than temporary solutions. My practice is best suited for adults seeking ongoing outpatient psychotherapy and is not a fit for higher-acuity or crisis-focused care. I may refer clients whose needs would be better served by a higher level of care, specialized treatment, or services outside my scope of practice. Please note that I do not provide documentation or written support for court, custody, disability, or other legal matters, and my practice is not a fit for individuals seeking therapy primarily for court-related issues. My goal is always to help clients find the care that best meets their needs.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and have spent my career supporting people through difficult periods while helping them build healthier, more fulfilling lives. Many people seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or a major life transition that feels difficult to manage on your own. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your experiences, gain clarity, and begin moving toward healing and growth. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I work closely with my clients to help them better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns, while developing effective coping strategies that support lasting change. Together, we focus on building resilience, strengthening self-awareness, and creating healthier ways to navigate life’s challenges. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse cultural, social, and professional backgrounds. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive care and creating an environment where every client feels respected, valued, and understood. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. If you’re ready to invest in your mental health and personal growth, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker conducting sessions virtually in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Nevada. I specialize in people that are going through tough times and need coping skills to manage. Life might have thrown you curve balls, and you might not be accepting of the uncertainty and the change. I'll be here to tell you that bad situations can be temporary and life changes can also be great. I specialize in helping people who fall down but get back up. I'll help you to talk about your feelings and help you to make treatment goals that you have been wanting to reach.

Broadly speaking, my therapeutic aproach of counseling falls into a behavioral model through which I usually work to address the problems identified. I pride myself for being a thoughtful therapist who manages to get those to talk and explore a different perspective on the identified issues. Quite simply, and through various and applicable therapeutic modalities, I recall past details and tie them together with new facts to help clients better understand themselves.

I provide evidence‑based therapy grounded in clinical assessment, trauma‑informed care, and culturally responsive practice. My approach is structured, collaborative, and focused on helping clients build insight, stability, and long‑term resilience. I am completing an APA‑accredited doctoral internship in a large integrated healthcare system, where I receive supervised training across trauma recovery, inpatient mental health, and neuropsychological assessment. This includes experience with Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), crisis stabilization, diagnostic clarification, and cognitive evaluations for conditions such as TBI, dementia, and complex medical presentations. My clinical work is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and other evidence‑based approaches. I integrate structured assessment, clear case conceptualization, and practical skills to help clients navigate PTSD, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and life transitions. I am committed to providing care that is compassionate, culturally aware, and grounded in respect for each client’s lived experience. My goal is to create a safe, steady therapeutic space where clients can explore their concerns, strengthen coping abilities, and move toward meaningful personal growth. A military Veteran himself, Dennis brings lived experience, humility, and a steady, supportive presence to his work.

I am a dedicated and caring Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified EMDR Trauma Therapist, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional in the States of Georgia and New York, with over 15 years of clinical experience in the mental health field. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, grief and loss, mood disorders, personality disorders and family relationships. I am fully multilingual and offer therapy in English, Spanish and Portuguese. I am originally from the Dominican Republic where I first graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology. From an early age I was called into the mental health field in a society where mental illness was stigmatized and a forbidden topic. This calling and life mission led me to spending decades studying Neurosciences, Psychology and Trauma Treatment. I hold a Master of Science degree in Neurosciences and a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as Certifications in Trauma Treatment and advanced trainings in EMDR Therapy, IFS therapy, Contextual Therapy, among others . Understanding the human experience with trauma, pain and loss and witnessing how through therapy healing is possible, has been the seal of a lifelong legacy. As a psychotherapist I practice a holistic and integrative approach and work mainly from a psychodynamic, trauma informed and neuroscientific and systemic perspective, based on the evidence of how trauma impacts the body and brain, and the awareness that in order to create lasting change and heal trauma wounds we must create insight and integrate past and present while establishing a secure connection with ourselves and in relationship with our significant others. It is now my honor to be your therapist. As your therapist it is my goal to guide you through your journey of internal growth and lasting healing.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations across a range of settings, including an adolescent residential treatment facility, a hospital, and a nonprofit organization supporting children affected by cancer and their families. Currently, I am employed within a school district, where I provide school-based counseling services to middle and high school students.

I also support students in developing executive functioning skills and strategies that promote academic and personal success. In addition to working with adolescents, I enjoy working with young adults and individuals in midlife. I have completed Gottman level one and two training and work with many couples

Hello, my name is Ricardo Guzman, LCSW. I identify as openly gay and was born in Honduras, but have also lived in Hong Kong, China; St. Paul, MN; and New York City. What inspired me to become a therapist were my own struggles with Coming-out of the closet, experiencing anxiety and depression, having my first heartbreak, as well as dealing with addiction (I am Sober), so I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you. I will help you get back to self-love and acceptance.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals with complex and high acuity mental health needs. My work is grounded in trauma informed and trauma responsive care, with a strong commitment to creating inclusive, affirming spaces for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent clients, and individuals in rural communities. I work across the lifespan, including children (7+), adults, older adults, families, and couples. My approach is collaborative and empowering, centered on the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and require my clinical expertise. I often describe my role as “working myself out of a job” to help clients build the insight, skills, and confidence needed to advocate for themselves and navigate systems independently. As a trauma specialist, I tailor evidence based interventions to each client’s identities, needs, strengths, and goals. My primary approaches include Somatic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)-(EMDRIA certification pending), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I also integrate Internal Family Systems informed interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, exposure based strategies, mindfulness, and other approaches as clinically appropriate. I adapt treatment for neurodivergent clients and clients with intellectual or developmental disabilities because therapy should adjust to the person and not require the person to adjust to therapy. I am continually shaped by the courage, insight, and lived experiences clients bring into our work. Every advanced training, specialty, certification, and state license reflect lessons learned from clients. I carry their trust, stories, and influence into every session with gratitude and responsibility.

I began my career working in family crisis services, including child protection and foster care. I’ve also supported individuals with disabilities and provided career guidance through my work with the state. While these experiences have shaped my approach, individual and group counseling are truly where I feel most passionate and effective. I am a Christian and draw strength from my faith. For clients who would like to incorporate spirituality into our work, I am happy to do so. At the same time, I fully respect and support clients who prefer a non-spiritual approach—your comfort and goals guide the process.

As a Caribbean-born woman, I value family, resilience, community, and a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

Hello, I'm Tegan! I’m a clinical psychologist living in Virginia with my husband, three children, and two labradors. Thanks for checking out my profile. Below you'll find a bit about my work experience and how it shapes what I do in sessions: Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including community mental health centers, schools, Probate and Family Court, and private practice. Working in these different environments has helped me understand the bigger picture of how family, school, and other systems can affect a person’s well-being. I enjoy working with people of all ages, but I have a particular interest in working with infants and young children. Being a parent myself has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges and joys that come with raising children, and it helps me connect with both kids and their parents. I also have experience conducting psychological evaluations, which has given me a strong understanding of the testing process, learning disabilities, and the Special Education system. My experience conducting Autism evaluations has also helped me better understand and support neurodivergent individuals and appreciate the different ways people experience the world. Most importantly, I try to meet each person where they are and understand them in the context of their family, relationships, and everyday life.

With over 12 years of experience as a licensed social worker, I am dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults navigating life’s challenges and build meaningful, healthy lives.

My approach is client-centered and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychoanalytic techniques, positive psychology, and motivational interviewing, among other evidence-based methods tailored to each client’s needs. I believe deeply in the connection between mind and body as essential to overall wellness. I encourage healthy movement, balanced living, and self-compassion as part of the healing process. Above all, I hold that every person is capable of growth, resilience, and a fulfilling life—no matter the challenges they’ve faced.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with 21 years of post-masters experience.

Every session is tailored to meet your unique needs, so together we can move you toward clarity, confidence, and peace.

I am a therapist who is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self‑compassion. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and supportive process—one where clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to create meaningful change in their lives and relationships. In my work with individuals, I help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns, especially those that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected from what matters most. I draw from evidence‑based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive‑behavioral principles, to support clients in building psychological flexibility, coping more effectively with stress, and moving toward values‑driven goals. Rather than focusing solely on “fixing” symptoms, I work with clients to change their relationship with difficult experiences and to build skills that support long‑term growth. As a couples therapist, I support partners in strengthening communication, deepening emotional connection, and navigating conflict in healthier ways. I help couples identify unhelpful interaction patterns, increase understanding of one another’s experiences, and develop practical tools for responding with greater awareness and intention. Couples work often focuses on clarifying shared values, improving emotional safety, and learning how to stay connected even during challenging moments. My approach is trauma‑informed, strengths‑based, and tailored to each client or couple’s unique needs, background, and goals. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is thoughtful, nonjudgmental, and grounded in collaboration. Whether you are seeking support for personal growth, relationship concerns, or life transitions, my goal is to help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and alignment with what matters most to you.

Every day, I have the privilege of walking alongside people who are carrying more than they feel they can bear, those who are exhausted, emotionally drained, defeated, and quietly wondering if things will ever feel different. When fear and worry take over, when the future feels uncertain, and when stress reaches a breaking point, it can be hard to believe that lasting change is even possible. I am here to tell you that it is. I work with people who want to move forward from feeling stuck, and I watch them discover strength they did not know they had. My work is rooted in genuine support, practical guidance, and powerful tools that create real, meaningful, and lasting change. Whether you are facing a quiet, private struggle or a deep and overwhelming season of pain, I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, without condition. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I help individuals move from survival mode to a place of clarity, strength, and renewed purpose. I proudly welcome clients from every walk of life, every background, and every story and I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where every person feels truly heard, deeply valued, and fully empowered. Your story is not over. You do not have to stay stuck, and you do not have to do this alone. Transformation is not just possible it's waiting for you. And it starts with this one courageous step.

Hi, I'm Sharice, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where individuals can feel heard, understood, and empowered. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional difficulties. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person's unique needs. I believe therapy is not about having everything figured out, but about gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, developing healthier coping skills, and learning how to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. My goal is to help you feel supported as you work toward healing, personal growth, and becoming the best version of yourself.

Hi! I’m Jada, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally balanced in their daily lives. I specialize in working with high-functioning people who may appear to have everything together on the outside, yet internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. I understand how easy it can be to get stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, and constantly prioritizing others while neglecting your own needs. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, uncertain, or disconnected from themselves, and are ready to make meaningful changes. My approach is warm, supportive, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being open and honest, while also helping you challenge patterns that no longer serve you. I believe therapy should not only provide insight but also offer practical tools you can apply in your everyday life. I am passionate about helping my clients build healthier boundaries, improve their relationships, and strengthen their sense of self so they can show up more confidently and intentionally in all areas of life.

Hello, I'm Melissa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Yoga Instructor licensed in New York and New Jersey. I am passionate about helping individuals heal from childhood trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions through a compassionate, trauma-informed approach. I believe healing happens when we address both the mind and body. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, somatic techniques, and nervous system regulation strategies to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. As a yoga instructor, I also recognize the important connection between emotional well-being and physical experiences, and I incorporate mind-body awareness when appropriate.

I’m Kerdijra “Kayla” Ramoutar, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC-D, LPC) and founder of Trip & Thrive Mental Wellness. I help individuals, couples, and communities heal from trauma, manage anxiety, strengthen relationships, and rediscover self-confidence. My work blends evidence-based methods with cultural awareness and compassion creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients can explore, grow, and thrive at their own pace.

From the outside, it may look like you have it all. You've built a successful career, business, or family, yet something still feels off. You may feel disconnected, misunderstood, stressed, or simply not as fulfilled as you expected to be. You might even find yourself wondering, "Why doesn't this feel the way I thought it would?" If that resonates with you, you're not alone. Since 2007, I've helped individuals and couples better understand themselves by uncovering the relationship blind spots that quietly shape every area of their lives—from the relationship they have with themselves to the relationships they have with the people they love. Many of my clients don't come to therapy because they're falling apart. They come because they know they're capable of experiencing more in life. More love. More connection. More peace. More fulfillment. They simply don't know what's getting in the way. Together, we'll identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck so you can begin creating the life and relationships you've been wanting all along. My practice is intentionally small and built around a concierge model of care that differs from traditional in-network therapy. I work best with clients who are ready to invest in themselves through a committed, integrative process rather than casual weekly check-ins.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with many years of experience providing therapy to individuals, adolescents, groups, and occasionally couples in various settings. My experience has led me to connect with many individuals at different phases in their lives who wanted to change something but didn't know how. I have worked with various populations from so many backgrounds, and all that stuck out to me was the disfranchised. A person losing their sense of autonomy and self always left me with that question, "Can I do more?" In my journey as a provider, I want to uplift my clients and remind them they have always had a voice and power that is waiting.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I am dedicated to providing compassionate support to women facing various challenges.

My approach is rooted in providing practical solutions that offer relief while delving into the underlying issues through counseling. I strive to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore their emotions, discover their strengths, and ultimately embark on a journey toward healing and empowerment.

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.

As a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor, I bring 18 years of experience helping individuals overcome challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change. I specialize in treating substance use disorders, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and other life stressors, providing a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and understood. I believe that no two people are alike, which is why I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT, mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing EMDR. Together, we’ll work to better understand the patterns that may be holding you back, develop effective coping strategies, and build the confidence to move forward. Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Whether you’re working through anxiety, healing from trauma, navigating relationship difficulties, or pursuing recovery, I am committed to helping you discover your strengths, achieve lasting growth, and live a more fulfilling, authentic life.

Born in Hong Kong and raised in Miami, Fl, my passion for helping others came at an early age. I earned a Masters degree in Social Work at Florida International University and later a PhD in Social Welfare at the City University of New York Graduate Center. My clinical training was in adult psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center. In my private practice, I assist adults with depression, anxiety, health problems, relationship issues, grief/loss, work stress, breakup, infertility, and parenting.

I am Heather M. Bowman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. I provide a compassionate, inclusive, and trauma-informed space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and develop tools for meaningful change. Outside of my clinical work, I have a deep appreciation for nature, poetry, avant-garde and classic cinema, and meaningful films that explore the human experience. I also have a deep appreciation for music and sound as powerful pathways for connection, reflection, and healing. I am a Reiki Master-Teacher and sound healing practitioner, which reflects my holistic perspective and appreciation for the connection between mind, body, and overall well-being. I believe music and sound can reach places beyond words, supporting emotional expression, mindfulness, relaxation, and deeper healing. I bring both clinical expertise and a genuine curiosity about each person's unique story into my work with clients.

I have over 35 years of experience as a social worker and therapist, working with individuals across all stages of life. My approach blends insight-oriented therapy with practical tools, helping clients better understand themselves while also making meaningful changes in their daily lives. I draw from several approaches, including talk therapys, and holistic methods that focus on the connection between mind and body. At the heart of my work is helping clients build self-esteem, process past emotional pain, and feel a greater sense of safety and stability within themselves. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and experiences at your own pace. Together, we will work toward helping you feel more grounded, more aware, and more able to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

As a Psychotherapist, I believe that everyone already has the tools they need to be their most productive and successful self. Sometimes people just need the support and encouragement from an outside source to reach their personal "happy place". Every patient has a right to Self-Determination and Self-Awareness. Psychotherapy can help develop insight, coping mechanisms, and social skills to help us build stronger relationships.
