ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in New York

Mental health is nothing to "work on later" or neglect. This is the place you can be vulnerable, emotional and free of judgement. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

I believe therapy should be tailored to each client individually as it is not a “one size fits all" solution. Whether or not you have a “diagnosis”, therapy is incredibly important and is a space where you get to talk about your everyday stressors or your major traumas. It’s up to you. I am dual licensed in Texas and New York.

Does your child or adolescent’s behavior leave you wondering, “What is going on?”Are they having meltdowns, withdrawing, struggling at school, worrying, or feeling sad? Children and adolescents often communicate their feelings through behavior long before they have the words to explain what they are experiencing.I work with children, adolescents, and families navigating challenges such as adoption, divorce, co-parenting, blended-family transitions, grief and loss, school-related worries, family conflict, and the growing push for independence. I help children and caregivers better understand what may be underneath the behavior while strengthening connection, communication, and emotional regulation. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S). I received my Doctorate in Clinical Social Work (DSW) and Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from New York University, and my Bachelor’s of Science in Social Work (BSW) from Cornell University. With more than two decades of clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings.

Before anything else, I want you to know that you don't have to arrive with it all figured out. You can come as you are: tired, unsure, hopeful, or all of it at once. I'm Dr. Monica Thompson, a licensed clinical social worker and addictions specialist, and I've spent my career walking alongside people who've been carrying more than their share. My work and research center the lived experiences of Black women and diasporic communities, and I bring that understanding into every session. I believe your story matters, your culture is a strength, and your healing is worth the investment. In our work together, you'll find someone who listens deeply, laughs easily, and holds space for every part of you, including the parts you haven't shown anyone yet.

“Therapy for kids who don’t think it’s for them, parents in the thick of it, and women who are doing everything for everyone—except themselves.”

Sound like you or someone you love? Well...I’ve got you covered!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in preteens and teenagers navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and the complicated space between parents and kids. Much of my experience was built inside a school-based health clinic at the middle school level. Working with students in the middle of their actual world, not just an office. That perspective shapes everything about how I work.

As an elder millennial and a parent, myself, I understand the impossible math of work-life balance. The guilt of feeling stretched too thin and the fear that you’re somehow getting it wrong. You’re not failing your kid. You’re here, and that’s whatmatters.

My approach is warm but direct, grounded in evidence-based practice and genuine connection. I meet kids where they are...not where we think they should be. I work alongside parents as partners, not critics. Because you know your child better than anyone. My job is to help you find each other again.

I also have a passion of working with women of all ages who are navigating careers, life, the world we live in and all of the complexities in between. I provide a judgement free, open space to live your truth and get answers to those questions that keep you up at night.

I am a clinically trained psychotherapist practicing in NJ, NY, MA, and PA. I work with individuals, couples, and families across all ages—from children and teens to college students and busy professionals. I also have experience supporting married couples facing marital challenges.

Working with me means you don't have to edit yourself before walking through the door. I work with adults across New York who are navigating trauma, grief, postpartum struggles, OCD, identity, and the exhaustion that comes from surviving things most people don't talk about out loud. My clients often tell me they've spent years feeling like "too much" - too emotional, too complicated, too much history. My job is to be the one who's not overwhelmed by any of that. I'm a Black woman clinician, and I bring that lived lens into my work with intentionality, not as a side note. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are - and also gently challenge you when you're ready - you're in the right place.

I am a licenced clinical social worker with over 20 years experience. I supervise other clinicians and enjoy meeting clients where they are at on their journey. I hold certificates and specialize in treating substance use disorders and trauma.

Hello! I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who offers attentive evaluations and medication management for depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, reproductive mental health, and more. I believe psychiatric care works best when it feels collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized. My approach emphasizes careful assessment, patient education, and treatment plans that align with each person's goals and values. I aim to make care feel supportive, clear, and approachable. To note: In-person appointments are available in Lynbrook, NY and can be scheduled with at least 48 hours’ notice.
