Therapists in New York, NY
Whether you’re dealing with low self esteem, working toward personal growth, trying to improve life satisfaction, or want to talk to someone about underlying mental health issues, seeking therapy can be a great way to get support and guidance.
When finding a therapist, New York, NY can offer many options, but using a platform like BetterHelp can make the process faster and more effective. When looking for in-person mental health services, you typically have to worry about insurance coverage and trying to find an available appointment slot that fits into your busy schedule. Although BetterHelp does not accept health insurance plans, your therapy cost may be significantly more affordable than using an individual practice.
BetterHelp has over 30,000 licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists, family therapists, marriage therapists, board-licensed professional counselors, and licensed clinical social workers. Most people are matched with a mental health professional within 48 hours, and you can switch who you’re working with for free until you find the right therapist. Online sessions allow for flexible scheduling, making it a great alternative to individual practices in the city or college counseling centers for those who have busy class and work schedules to consider.
Whether you’re looking for a specific type of therapy, like dialectical behavior therapy, commitment therapy, or sex therapy, or you’re not sure where to begin, signing up for BetterHelp can be a good step in the right direction. Speak with a NYC-based counselor for support while you work toward a more fulfilling life.

Hi, thank you for looking at my profile. I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years treating children, adults and couples in various settings. I have helped clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, ADHD, LGBTQ, autism, stress, relationship issues, grief and just day-to-day concerns that may arise. I provide mostly a client centered approach to therapy but will tailor my treatment modality to the client’s needs. My goal is for clients to feel safe, respected and understood. My philosophy has always been to treat others as I would want to be treated.
