My name is Weston Clay and I am a psychotherapist based in NYC. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, and identity and relationship issues. As a gay man myself, I enjoy working with other queer/LGBTQ+ people to work through the way our identities impacts our relationships with our peers, family members, and ourselves. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe with and seen by your therapist and so it is my job to make you feel comfortable with me, not yours. Anti-racism, body positivity, and all around inclusivity are also fundamental to my style of therapy.

Charlie Health is a virtual behavioral health program for adolescents and young adults with moderate or severe mental health concerns or co-occurring substance use or eating disorders. Designed to meet the needs of those who require more than weekly therapy, our program combines curated group therapy, individual therapy, and family therapy into personalized treatment programs. We are helping to serve those who are in crisis, or have been historically underserved, by eliminating the most significant treatment barriers: geographical and financial access. We work with nearly all commercial insurance nationwide and have no waitlist, thereby helping people access quality, evidence-based care regardless of insurance, location, or other barriers.

I specialize in treating college age young adults that are dealing with the transition to adulthood. I am a Psychiatrist but also have 4 years of extra training as a Psychoanalyst. I can prescribe medications if needed but also I can do talk therapy to work on problems of living that might be stopping you from living in a resilient, open, satisfying way.

Hi, I’m Dianne. I’m glad you’re here! I’m here to support you to be free from fear and anxiety, align to inner guidance, develop nourishing relationships, and make choices from a place of love, curiosity, and possibility. My intention is that our sessions allow you to feel deeply known, and that through our work you’ll feel more free to be authentic in your life and relationships. Together, we’ll get to know you — your patterns, your strengths, your desires — so you become your own best teacher, with me as a steady support along the way. I hold a Master’s of Social Work from Smith College. I’ve worked with individuals of diverse ages, identities, and backgrounds in community mental health in New York City and in educational settings including San Francisco International High School and Vassar College. I trained in post-abortion counseling with Exhale Pro Voice, and I participated in FemSex, now called GenSex, an anti-oppression workshop for people of all identities about sexuality, gender, consent, and privilege. Before returning to school to train as a therapist, I worked for several years in international women’s rights, food justice, and bilingual education. I draw from psychodynamic, relational, somatic, mindfulness, and compassion-based approaches. If you’re struggling with anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, or questions of meaning and purpose, let’s talk.

I strive to help people understand their emotional and behavioral patterns and work towards behaviors that can generate meaning and purpose. The evidence-based therapies that I use help treat OCD, trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, eating disorders, and more. I utilize an empathic and nonjudgmental stance, and aim to compassionately recognize the function of behaviors, and why they might make sense in the past and present. The evidence-based practices I use will include learning skills to help foster more flexible and effective responses to painful and difficult thoughts and feelings. I firmly believe in tailoring treatment to meet your unique needs and goals, and believe our collaboration and therapeutic relationship is essential in this process. My hope is that together we can create a space where you can relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings and create change in their presence.

I work with clients feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, or self-doubt, especially during college life adjustments, life changes or relationship challenges. Many share feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to express their needs. I provide a supportive space to explore feelings, build clarity and confidence, and develop tools for emotional balance. I'd be honored to support your journey.

Are you a college student experiencing overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck, or struggling with anxiety or depression?

My mission is to provide evidence-based care to fit each client's unique needs, individuality, culture, and strengths. My style is warm and collaborative, and I work to meet clients where they are with unconditional positive regard. My clinical work is driven by a deep respect and appreciation for each client and their goals. Treatment is tailored to each individual. We will work together to break patterns that are no longer working and explore new approaches that align with your vision of growth.

I have done psychotherapy with graduate students, especially around relationship, bereavement (particularly early parental loss), anxiety and fertility issues for over twenty years. I believe that most emotional pain stems from both difficult life circumstances and how we perceive those events. I work in an open, warm and empathically challenging way to help people better explore, understand and wrestle with the issues that are keeping them from finding more peace, joy, freedom and fulfillment.

I'm Coley Woodward, LMHC, founder of Psyberspace Center for Psychedelic Therapy. I help high-achieving individuals and couples break free from trauma, anxiety, and burnout using evidence-based approaches that go beyond traditional talk therapy. As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant-in-Training, I specialize in complex PTSD, attachment wounds, addiction, and relationship repair. I integrate EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to create lasting change — not just insight. My style is direct, warm, and relational; I meet you where you are while gently challenging patterns that keep you stuck. Whether you're in New York, New Jersey, California, or Georgia, I offer virtual sessions nationwide and in-person care in Manhattan.

Reaching out for help can be hard. We will do our best to provide a safe, supportive environment, when you can feel free to share as much as you need to. We consider therapy to be a collaboration between clinician and patient. Our job is to work with you to help you better understand your inner thoughts and feelings so that you can become the best version of you. We tend to follow patterns of behavior based on our earliest identities. Some of us go through life thinking we are not smart enough, not good looking enough, not capable enough, or not as good as others. It's important to understand that these beliefs are not in fact reality, but an internalized sense of self that we have learned from our earliest experiences. Because of these beliefs, we can often find ourselves repeating unhealthy patterns in relationships, how we deal with stress, social isolation, engaging in unhealthy or risky behaviors, and all manner of acting out in self-destructive ways. Therapy can help re-define who you are, so that instead following these unhealthy patterns, you can make choices that are informed by what you really want, as opposed to what you think you deserve. Therapy is not a quick fix. It takes time and commitment, and it is hard. We are ready to make that commitment with you, and be with you on your journey of self-discovery, so that you can become the author of your own life, rather than letting it be written for you. Please contact us for a free consultation.

Hi, I’m Aneeta, a licensed psychologist based in New York. I received my doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I’ve worked in a variety of settings including college counseling, community mental health, inpatient care, and private practice, supporting adults and young adults through life’s challenges. I tailor my care to your needs, moving at your pace in a safe, non-judgmental space. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. Our work centers on relationships, including ours, because I believe feeling connected is key to healing and growth. Together, we'll explore the different parts of yourself, your strengths, identity, and values to help you feel more connected and whole. I especially enjoy working with people who are exploring their identity, navigating relationship and family dynamics, healing from past experiences, or adjusting to big life transitions. Whether you’re trying to understand yourself better, heal from past wounds, or create more fulfilling relationships, I’m here to support you. If you think we might be a good fit or want to learn more, please reach out!

If you experience anxiety, depression, relationship issues, ADHD, OCD, or other emotional and behavioral difficulties, we're here to help. Behavioral Health of New York (BHNY) founded by Dr. Mitchell S. Levy, is a private practice of PhD-level psychologists who specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based therapy methods backed by science. Many clients achieve significant progress with CBT in a relatively short period of time. Other clients benefit from interpersonal or relationship-oriented therapy. When we work together, we’ll break down your patterns of thinking and behaviors that cause challenges and hold you back from enjoying life. You’ll develop the skills to feel better and create positive change. Most clients find our approach a very refreshing change from their former therapy.

I am a Certified Gestalt Psychotherapist and Neurofeedback Practitioner. To learn more about me, please take a look at my website or contact me directly. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sometimes, you just feel off. Maybe you're coming home from class every day drained, going through a breakup and unsure of what you want next, or dreading whatever tomorrow might bring. Whatever it is, you just don’t feel like yourself – or maybe, you're still trying to figure out who that even is. If that feels like you, know that you're not alone. I work with students who are ready to connect with themselves and find alignment, purpose, and fulfillment. My goal is to help you build a life that actually feels like yours, not anyone else's. In our work together, we’ll look at what’s going on beneath the surface, develop tools to express what you need, and create space for healing and growth. I aim to make our sessions feel safe, supportive, and real. For me, that means showing up with honesty, curiosity, and a little humor, too. School can create a lot of pressure to have it all figured out. In our work, none of that matters. You get to show up as you are, explore what matters to you, and go at your own pace. I am honored to walk alongside you as we work to build self-trust, deepen self-compassion, and make meaningful changes. If you're ready to start that work together, I’d love to hear from you!

If you’re introducing your clinical practice as an LCSW specializing in ADHD, depression, family conflict, and self-esteem, you’ll want to clearly communicate your areas of expertise and how you approach helping clients.

If you’re seeking support in understanding and managing ADHD, finding ways to improve your self-esteem, resolving family conflicts, or addressing depression, I am here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your concerns and move toward healing. Let’s work together to help you build a life filled with confidence, peace, and understanding. Feel free to adjust based on your tone and what you feel best represents your approach!

College can intensify anxiety, overthinking, and the pressure to get everything right. You may find yourself stuck in cycles of rumination, constantly seeking certainty about relationships, academics, career decisions, or how others perceive you. When your mind is always analyzing every possibility, it becomes harder to trust yourself, take action, and stay present. Over time, this can lead to avoidance, lower confidence, and feeling stuck in patterns that keep you from fully engaging in the life you want to build. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in anxiety (including GAD, OCD, panic, and social anxiety), depression, ADHD, and anger management. I also help individuals navigate relationship and family challenges and work- or school-related stress. Treatment is evidence-based and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on practical tools to reduce overthinking, manage difficult emotions, and build steady confidence that isn’t dependent on others’ approval, so you can move through college with greater clarity and confidence. Therapy is offered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, making it convenient for busy student schedules. If this resonates, I invite you to schedule a consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
