Therapists in New York

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 20 years building businesses, developing products, leading teams, and working with high-achieving professionals in demanding environments. Today, I bring that perspective into my clinical work, helping clients who may look highly successful on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. I understand the pressures that can accompany achievement, including perfectionism, burnout, career transitions, relationship challenges, and the feeling that your external persona no longer matches how you truly feel. My goal is to help clients understand what is keeping them stuck, reconnect with what matters to them, and develop practical strategies to move forward. I work with clients navigating career challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Whether you are struggling to make a career decision, recovering from a difficult experience, questioning an identity built around achievement, or simply know that something needs to change but aren't sure how to move forward, therapy can provide a space to step back, gain perspective, and create a path forward that feels both meaningful and sustainable.

I'm Robert, a licensed CBT therapist based in New York with over 20 years of experience. I work with adults navigating anxiety and depression, and various other behavioral health issues, drawing on a background that spans a wide range of settings and populations. My approach is practical and collaborative — together, we'll build real skills to help you feel better and move forward.

I am a compassionate and client-centered mental health clinician dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop insight, and build practical skills to foster lasting emotional well-being. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to each client's unique needs. Whether working through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship concerns, I am committed to empowering clients on their journey toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.

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.

*Currently accepting new adult individual clients via telehealth* I am a licensed mental health counselor in NY and FLA working in the field for 11 years in various different roles. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked in group practices to hospital settings helping clients suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, impulsivity, and more. I use a person centered approach to therapy helping clients understand their thoughts and develop ways that they can change their negative thought process to more positive thoughts to better their overall well being. In our first session, we will get to know one another better and decide what goals are important to work towards making the positive life changes that help you become the best version of yourself.

With over a decade of experience supporting adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families, I bring a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University in Garden City, and since then, I've dedicated my career to helping clients navigate life's challenges with resilience and clarity. Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship struggles, family dynamics, or simply feeling stuck, l offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts and emotions. My goal is to help you shift your perspective, uncover strengths, and build meaningful change-one step at a time. I believe therapy is not just about healing, but about growth. Together, we'll work to improve your outlook and empower you to move with confidence.

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.

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.

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.

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. He has served Veterans and adults across multiple settings, emergency departments, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and detoxification facilities. His approach is compassionate, structured, and culturally responsive, creating a safe and grounded space for healing and growth. Dennis integrates CBT, DBT skills, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and relapse‑prevention approaches to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change. He is committed to helping clients move toward lives guided by clarity, resilience, and their personal values.

Hi, I’m Destinee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, New York, and Florida, dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges with honesty, warmth, and a little bit of humor when needed. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where we can unpack what’s holding you back and work toward real, lasting change.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.

I’m a Black male therapist in my 30s who is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate anxiety, relationships, identity, and life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. My approach is collaborative and practical, drawing from evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while honoring each person’s unique experiences, culture, and strengths. I’m a therapist who believes therapy should feel like a space where you can be honest, understood, and supported without judgment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping clients better understand themselves while developing practical tools to navigate relationships, emotions, identity, life transitions, and personal growth. Through my practice, I work with individuals, couples, and families who may be struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, communication, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, or simply trying to figure out their next chapter. I meet each client where they are and recognize that no two people have the same story or path to healing. My goal is not to tell you who you should be, but to help you better understand who you are, what you need, and who you want to become. Therapy is a place for growth not just when life feels difficult, but also when you’re ready to build on the progress you’ve already made.

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 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.

I’m a mental health counselor who provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, build healthier coping skills, and work toward meaningful personal growth.

I have experience working with teens, adults, and older adults in residential facilities, detox programs, rehabilitation centers, and outpatient settings, supporting clients through anxiety, depression, substance use, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges.

I am passionate about working with individuals who are experiencing a moment or series of events in their life that seem difficult, unacceptable, or painful. I am here to listen, support, guide, and help you to work through those moments, as well as celebrate your wins and successes. "This too shall pass" moments are an absolute truth in life, and I look forward to working with you while they do. Currently serving the states of New York, New Jersey, Washington, Pennsylvania and Maryland. I am a former high school teacher turned full time therapist! In my spare time, I enjoy traveling all over the world, Facetiming my Villanova college student, learning Croatian, working out, trying new recipes, reading, and spoiling my pit bulls!

There is a moment in every person’s story when something says, “I can’t keep doing this the same way.” That moment matters. It may be quiet, messy, unexpected, or long overdue—but it can also be the beginning of something different. After more than 20 years in behavioral health and over 11 years as a clinician, I’ve learned that therapy is not about having all the answers. It’s about having a place to stop, breathe, tell the truth about where you are, and discover where you want to go next.

I am a compassionate, experienced therapist who believes that every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful adjustments. In my practice, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgemental environment where people can explore their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences.

As a psychotherapist my goal is to show up empathically and authentically while provide a nonjudgemental safe space for clients to express themselves. By building a strong therapeutic alliance and using a strength based approach, I help my clients achieve their goals and overcome challenges and obstacles standing in their way. I believe in bite-size progress to help motivate us to make bigger changes over time.

I would never claim to be perfect or from an ideal family, marriage, or community. Things always come up and most of us are not (thankfully) exposed to the darker realities of life until we become adults. However, that is not the case for many. I am a Northeastern transplant from 2019. I have actively worked in the clinical space since 2015. As your provider, I love to assume a support role with clients, help you get through any situations you may be challenged with, and guide you towards resilience despite the circumstances. I have ADHD and was diagnosed later in life. I am trained and experienced in utilizing ACT, CBT, DBT, EMDR, PE, ERP, IFS, and CPT with clients. I love working with trauma (that sounds weird right? Therapists can be odd folks), ADHD/Autism, relationship issues with individuals and couples, family issues, adolescents, career counseling, and working with individuals from different cultural backgrounds.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of clinical experience in a variety of settings including both inpatient and outpatient units, community mental health clinics and correctional facilities. I have experience providing individual and group treatment for patients and families. I strive to provide a safe space for self-exploration and I have solid diagnostic and assessment skills. This allows for a keen understanding of the person and the modality that will allow the client to meet their clinical goals. I believe that a core underpinning of treatment is respecting each individual's uniqueness and working collaboratively to build resilience and discover individual strengths. I have long been an advocate for the underserved and marginalized in our society and have worked to decrease the stigma associated with mental health treatment.

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.

I’m a therapist who values curiosity, collaboration, and meeting you where you are. I’ve had the honor of working in this field for over 10 years, and I’m still deeply passionate about the work I do. My approach is grounded in showing up as a human sitting with another human. I prioritize getting to know you as the complex individual you are and building a strong, trusting, therapeutic relationship above everything else. Therapy won’t make you perfect or more worthy, but that’s not the goal. When you feel lost, overwhelmed, or alone in your experience, I’ll sit with you in that space. With compassion and honesty, I’ll support you in understanding yourself more deeply and figuring out what you want out of your life and how to move toward it.

I am a licensed social worker with 8 years of experience supporting older teens and adults as they navigate depression, anxiety, and low self‑esteem.

My background includes meditation, breathwork, and supporting clients who are navigating spiritual awakenings or exploring their inner world on a deeper level. I have traveled to Peru and Bali to engage in my own healing work with sacred practices and traditional medicines, experiences that have shaped my understanding of transformation, grounding, and the mind‑body‑spirit connection.

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience in social services, child welfare, and mental health. My professional background includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families as they navigate emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. My experience in both school-based and clinical settings has given me a deep understanding of how family dynamics, relationships, life experiences, and environmental stressors can impact emotional well-being.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and everyday stressors.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Whether through virtual or in-person sessions, I am committed to supporting clients on their journey toward healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling lives.

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.

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.

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.
