Top addiction and substance use disorder therapists and psychiatrists in New York
Hi there and welcome!
My priority is supporting clients on their journeys towards personal healing & growth.
In 2010, I received my MSW/LMSW. While doing outpatient clinical work at the NYC non-profit agency JBFCS, I became an LCSW. In 2016, I began to establish my private psychotherapy practice, focusing on young and professional adults presenting with a broad variety of life challenges.
*Please note I am only able to treat patients located in NY state.
As a Board Certified PMHNP, I use medication management to treat mental health disorders in a supportive and compassionate environment. I work with individuals to identify safe and appropriate strategies that align with their preferences and goals of treatment. After working with many different populations, I have adopted a comprehensive, patient focused, and evidence-based treatment approach rooted in interdisciplinary care.
I have spent a majority of my training working across the lifespan from childhood to adulthood, and within family systems. I am trained in helping clients with stress and anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Some of the individuals that I work with are in recovery from eating and substance-related disorders. My clients often face school and work avoidance and may find it difficult to do things they once enjoyed.
As a licensed psychotherapist, I believe that mental health is essential for maintaining happiness, well-being, and a sense of security. While it may seem counterintuitive, seeking help is a courageous act, and showing vulnerability is a true sign of strength, not weakness.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with seven years of experience, and I truly believe that vulnerability is a strength. In our work together, you’re not just a client—you’re an active partner in your growth. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore what’s holding you back and help you move forward with confidence and purpose. I work best with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns they are ready to change. Whether you are navigating anxiety, past trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I offer a supportive space to explore your experiences. Together, we work toward building clarity, confidence, emotional balance, and lasting healing that aligns with your personal goals and values.
I am a Double Board-Certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric mental health and family health. As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I use an integrative and holistic approach to mental health. As a family nurse practitioner, I take into consideration how physical health impacts mood and relationships. I employ evidence-based medication management. Together, we can pinpoint what's causing you stress and navigate towards a balanced state. I employ brief supportive psychotherapy in every session to help patients manage their emotions, particularly those dealing with chronic illnesses or experiencing high levels of stress. By offering empathy and validation, I aim to strengthen coping mechanisms, boost resilience, and enhance overall mental well-being.
I am a clinical social worker, and supervisor, based in New York City. I provide an environment that is warm, empathic and self-affirmimg. I have worked with adults, children and adolescents. My clients have been afflicted with addiction, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma and ADHD In addition, I conduct mental health evaluations for immigration.
Life can be overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. As a therapist and a longtime educator, I bring warmth, curiosity, and decades of experience helping people through anxiety, grief, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, together, we'll build on your strengths and find practical strategies to help you move forward.
I believe therapy begins with creating a genuine connection, a foundation of trust, understanding, and openness. I also know how important it is to find a therapist you truly ‘click’ with; someone whose style and personality feel like the right fit for you. Over the past 15 years in the mental health field, including 5 years in private practice, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through challenges such as anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the everyday stressors of family, relationships, work, and life.
