Therapists in New York

Hello! My name is Lauren, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting individuals through mental health crises and providing individual psychotherapy to clients in need. My background as a crisis therapist has strengthened my ability to meet clients where they are at- utilizing an empathic, calm, clear path forward during challenging times. I take a warm and solution-focused approach, helping clients build on their strengths and move toward meaningful change. I believe in creating a supportive space where you will feel respected and empowered with a primary focus on healing

Seeking strength, understanding, and a path forward? I'm not your typical therapist. I've walked the walk that you have, not just once, but twice. As a former Marine and law enforcement officer, I know firsthand the pressures, traumas, and unique challenges faced by those in service and beyond. Now, I leverage my experience and clinical expertise to guide individuals grappling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and the invisible wounds of trauma.

Hi! I'm a Black and Queer Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Atlanta, GA (also licensed in New York). I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology from Kennesaw State University, following up with my Masters from Fordham University, and have been practicing for 10 years. I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, and life adjustments become the best versions of themselves.

I am an experienced, thoughtful and caring therapist that will help you overcome or work on any issues, problems or concerns that you are dealing with. I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, and I have worked with singles, couples, families, seniors, and adolescents. I am empathic and an active listener. I treat all of my clients with unconditional positive regard and respect. I do not believe in a one size fits all therapy approach. Every client is different and has different needs and that is my focus. I work with the entire person to help them improve their mental health and over all well-being.

Hi, I’m Kira Williams, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals and families create meaningful change. 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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NYS, VT, and FL, and a life coach with over 25 years of experience.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Florida. I have 30 years experience in the helping profession and 7 years as a therapist. I believe that insight without action leads to stagnation and frustration. It is valuable to talk about problems and issues but without a plan of action, clients often become discouraged. Much of my work will involve helping you identify a next right step in addressing challenges.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, dual licensed in New York and Florida. I am also a certified New York MASTER CASAC and a Florida MCAP for substance abuse. I have been in the field since 2014 and I help those who struggle with substance use, anxiety, day to day life, returning from incarceration/military into the community, mood swings, and depression. I can help you reach your goals at you own pace through guidance and positive reinforcement. I look forward to watching you grow and succeed

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey and New York, specializing in perinatal mental health, anxiety, and eating and body image concerns. I’m passionate about supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and the many identity shifts that accompany motherhood. For clients with a history of eating or body image distress, I integrate intuitive eating and body neutrality to help them find peace with food and their bodies. After years of working in hospital and outpatient settings in New York City, I chose to focus on what I’m most passionate about—helping women navigate the often overwhelming emotions that come with pregnancy and new motherhood. I support moms who feel anxious about their baby’s milestones, worry about feeding, feel disconnected, or find themselves snapping at their partner and wondering, “What’s happening to me?”

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.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with kids, teens, adults, and families, and my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and understood. In our work together, I’ll meet you where you are—whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, College, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck. I use a mix of approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and strength-based techniques, but more than anything, I focus on listening to you and tailoring sessions to what you need. I truly believe therapy is about collaboration—you bring your experiences and hopes, and I bring tools and support to help you move forward. My hope is that you’ll leave sessions feeling lighter, more confident, and more connected to yourself. I know it can be hard to open up about yourself so here's some personal things about me: I'm a runner, I enjoy photography, I love the NBA, I'm into anime, and Severance needs to come back already

Are you feeling stuck, unempowered or overall lost? Pain is a part of life, but you don't have to go through it alone. When life gets too overwhelming, we often experience confusion, disillusionment, disappointment, anger, sadness, fear, addiction, or a sense of numbness. I create a non-judgmental and empathetic environment to explore your thoughts and emotions, where we can find solutions together. My goal is to empower you to uncover your strengths and find your path toward building and reclaiming the healthy life you deserve.

I work with people who have experienced stress and trauma and are ready to heal and grow. I am an empathic, supportive therapist who utilizes therapeutic tools to empower my clients to lead more fulfilling lives. Many of my clients are women who identify as Black or Latino and are used to being overachievers and supporting others, even when it comes at the expense of their well-being and inner peace.

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

I am a student who also works in the field. I understand the stress that people can experience as they deal with their daily lives. We all experience stress and depression in different ways, and I hope to help my clients understand that they are not alone in the world and that focusing on positive ways to overcome these issues can help improve their lives and relationships.

I worked for 15 years in a hospital, providing individual, family, and group psychotherapy. I had the privilege of working with clients from all over the world, with different backgrounds and of various age groups. Currently, I transitioned to work privately providing telehealth therapy. I believe compassion, caring, and the therapeutic alliance are most important in the helping process. These are the core values informing my practice. I use a gentle and creative approach in guiding my clients on their healing journey. I draw from various therapeutic approaches depending on the clients' needs, stage of therapy, and mental health issue. For example, for Bipolar disorder, I combine interpersonal, supportive and CBT modalities in a collaborative and empathic setting. Most importantly, I believe that compassion, openness and acceptance, build a strong therapeutic alliance, key to maximizing a client’s successful outcome.

Award winning Therapist — Therapist of the Year by St. Vincent Hospital - an acknowledgement demonstrating my commitment to the quality care I provide. I offer therapy for burnout, anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma. I also work with individuals who simply want personal growth, clarity, and more control over their lives. As someone who’s sat on the other side of the therapy room, I bring not only clinical training, but real, lived experience. I know how hard it can be to ask for help, find good help, and how important it is to feel truly heard. You are the expert on your life. I am here for you — to be your guide and support.
