Let’s be real - therapy should actually help. Not just feel nice (though that’s good too). You’re probably here because something isn’t working: maybe you’re stuck in your head, burned out, anxious, grieving, or just generally over it. You want things to get better, and I want that too. My style is active, collaborative, and goal-oriented. We’ll figure out what matters to you, what’s getting in the way, and what actually helps. I don’t just nod and ask how you feel about that (unless that’s useful). But if you want to feel seen, supported, and gently pushed, we’ll probably work well together.

I work with individuals who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives but may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. My clients often include young adults navigating life transitions, and adults managing anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of trauma. I also support justice-involved youth and individuals in recovery who are striving to rebuild stability, self-worth, and purpose. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling unheard or misunderstood, searching for a safe space to process their experiences and learn.

Sometimes you need someone who will simply listen, validate your experiences, and sit with you through life's challenges. Other times, you need someone who will gently challenge you, ask the hard questions, and maybe even make you laugh along the way.

Do you feel like you question yourself all the time, think of yourself as a failure, or not trust your relationships? I help individuals to overcome cycles of doubt through a focused, non-judgmental approach to therapy. Self-doubt can cause us to lose trust ourselves, damage our relationships and careers, cause or worsen anxiety and depression, and can bring us to a place of shame. It can lead us to stagnation and being controlled by our fears. If you are looking to change how you feel about yourself or in your relationship, our work together can be the first step in that process.

Hi, I'm Jen! I'm a queer, neurodivergent (ADHD) therapist specializing in complex trauma and attachment & what those things do to your relationships, your self-worth, and your ability to just... freaking exist without it being so hard. The people I work with are usually extremely self-aware. They've read all the books, they know their attachment style (and probably everyone else’s) & they could probably explain their childhood to you in clinical detail. Yet, they're still struggling, because understanding your wounds and actually healing them are two very different things.

Making the decision to start therapy is one the best gifts you can give yourself. That might sound cliché, but giving yourself permission to finally focus on your own needs and discover more about yourself can be an incredible process. This is especially true if perhaps you’ve gotten used to putting the needs of others first, by being a caregiver to a parent or family member who may be struggling with a physical or mental illness or substance misuse. Learning to put the focus back on yourself and figuring out what gives you happiness and fulfillment is one the many ways that a good therapeutic relationship can enrich your life.

Whether you are experiencing a life transition, coping with anxiety, depression, the impact of trauma or questions around identity, I am eager to join you on your journey. I think the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important containers we have as we navigate an increasingly complex world, with its myriad challenges and demands. I seek to be a safe place to explore, question and make meaning, even out of the tougher materials of our lives.

At one point or another we can all benefit from what therapy has to offer, starting with a relationship that's uniquely separate from the rest of our day-to-day lives. Family and friends may provide a great deal of support, but an outside voice - in the context of a warm, respectful, and collaborative working relationship - can make all the difference. Most people find that therapy is the place where they can finally make sense of confusing or difficult feelings and situations.

Hi, I’m Enya. I am a psychotherapist providing individual, relationship, and group therapy in New York. I adore holding space for folks who crave radical, intimate connection and care about community. I believe finding healing within ourselves and our relationships is a vital part of our path towards collective liberation. I draw from psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and liberatory frameworks. Our work together can often look like exploring the narratives you learned as a child about who you were supposed to be. Expectations to not take up too much space, to never show vulnerability, to take care of everyone's needs.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
