Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New York

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.

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 enjoy helping people. Working in diverse settings and with diverse populations has added to my experience. I believe every day is a gift that brings opportunities to heal, grow and learn together. Healing is a beautiful journey we will take together. I am also focused on Christian counseling and incorporating clinical skills that support your journey.

Hello, my name is Amanda Johnson, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with several years of nursing experience across medical-surgical, chemical dependency, and psychiatric care settings. My treatment philosophy is rooted in a comprehensive, holistic approach that integrates psychotherapy, medication management, and non-pharmacological interventions tailored to individual patient needs.

My name is Kiki and I am a graduate of the University at Buffalo School of Social Work. I have experience working with adults in the outpatient setting navigating struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges and the many stressors that life brings us.

Hi! I'm Dr. Heather Blondin. I completed my DO degree at Touro University Nevada and my Psychiatry residency at Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV. I am board-certified in Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. While everyone is welcome, I particularly enjoy working with women, college students, healthcare professionals, and those navigating life transitions.

Please note: I cannot prescribe controlled substances for patients located outside of Nevada.

Hello! My name is Dawn and I am a licensed professional counselor holding dual licenses in the state of South Carolina where I currently reside, and my native New York state. In practice since 2017, I provide a warm, compassionate and client-centered approach to the therapeutic process. I serve as a co-collaborator providing support, insight, and assistance on the client's journey of self-discovery and healing.

When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.

Everyone has a story. Mine starts here in Upstate New York, where I was born and raised. It was here that I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My work on the frontlines of mental health care has given me insight into the challenges individuals face and the systemic changes needed to improve outcomes — both of which inform my practice!

​

​Beyond my professional life, I’m also a proud dog mom to my seven-year-old Morkie, Jax. When I'm not working, you might find me with a warm cup of chai, and a book in hand.​ Also, I love learning. I recently completed my second master's degree: my MBA through SUNY Oswego, with a focus in healthcare administration.

​

Most importantly, I thoroughly enjoy the work I do with my clients- supporting others on their unique journeys.

As I mentioned before, everyone has a story.

I look forward to hearing yours.
