Therapists in New York

Hi my name is Robin Carroll. I am the graduate of Marywood University with a Masters in Social Work. I specialize in trauma and anxiety. I help people identify the root causes of their anxiety and trauma s and work through them together. I started out my career as a care manager and I've worked with individuals that have been diagnosed with life-altering diseases, I have worked in trauma in an ER hospital, I have worked as a liaison for different communities, and I have worked in a mental health clinic.

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.

I'm Jackie — a licensed clinical social worker and addiction counselor who genuinely loves this work. I trained at NYU Silver and spent years in community mental health, inpatient, and outpatient settings before opening my private practice. I wanted something less clinical and more human. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, codependency, relationship struggles, and the kind of life transitions that leave you wondering who you even are anymore. A lot of my clients grew up in homes that felt unpredictable or unsafe — homes where they learned early to read the room, manage everyone else's feelings, and keep the peace at their own expense. They've been the capable one for so long that asking for help feels almost foreign. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational. Sessions feel more like a real conversation than a formal appointment. I'll help you understand the patterns underneath the surface stuff — why you react the way you do, where it came from, and what to do about it now. We'll draw from CBT, DBT, and IPT, building real skills along the way. Sometimes you'll leave with something to try between sessions; other times, something to sit with and think about. My style is warm, direct, and skills-focused. I'll meet you where you are and gently push when it serves your growth, because real change usually means getting a little uncomfortable in a safe space. Humor shows up too — the hard stuff goes down easier when we can laugh at parts of it. Asking for help isn't weakness. It's one of the braver things you can do.

Hey my love, I'm Laura -- welcome to Audacious Healing! As a Black, queer, neurodivergent, femme-presenting therapist, I bring refreshing honesty to a space that's actually built for you to let your hair down. No performing, no pretending — just real talk, empowerment, and the motivation to keep going.

I predominantly work with young men struggling with social anxiety disorder. Do you struggle with social anxiety and poor self-confidence? I know that overcoming it is possible! Many come to therapy for social anxiety because of childhood trauma and how it has manifested in their adult lives. Often this manifests in feelings of poor self-confidence, poor self-worth, and poor self-confidence. At its root, the fundamental belief of those who have social anxiety is the belief, “I am not enough.” Clients get into the habit of comparing themselves to others and it makes them feel inadequate and insecure. Over time clients begin to avoid situations that elicit their anxiety, particularly social situations. This can lead to social isolation and loneliness. Clients will present with complaints of frequent panic attacks, not having a romantic partner, not having friends, not being happy in their jobs and feeling disconnected from life. They are labeled by others as shy, quiet, or introverted. This scenario described myself for much of my life which gives me lived experience to better able to assist you.
