Welcome,
My name is Dallana Contreras, LCSW. As a clinical social worker, my practice is grounded in a generalist framework that integrates the person-in-environment perspective with evidence-based and culturally responsive approaches. I have wide range of experience in school based supports, crisis teams, mental health outpatient and hospital settings.
I chose social work because I believe in the power of human connection and the ability of people to transform their lives when given support, respect, and opportunity.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 10 years of healthcare experience and a strong medical background, currently providing psychiatric care in an outpatient clinical setting. My experience helps me recognize the vital link between mental and physical health, allowing me to deliver thoughtful, comprehensive care to my patients.
I focus on treating individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, burnout, and mood disorders through thorough psychiatric assessments, medication management, and supportive therapy. My aim is to foster a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and respected.
I believe mental health treatment is most effective when it is collaborative and personalized. I work closely with each client to develop a tailored treatment plan that promotes emotional well-being, stability, and an improved quality of life.

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding a postpartum therapist in Brooklyn starts with identifying the type of support you need. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders — including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum OCD — affect roughly one in seven birthing parents. A licensed provider with experience in perinatal mental health can help you distinguish between common adjustment difficulties and symptoms that benefit from professional care. Look for therapists or psychiatrists who list postpartum or perinatal specialties, and consider whether you'd prefer talk therapy, medication management, or both.
With 2520 mental health providers across Brooklyn and greater New York City, narrowing your options can feel difficult — especially when you're short on time and energy. Think about what matters most: a provider who offers virtual sessions so you can attend from home, someone located near your neighborhood in Park Slope, Williamsburg, or Bay Ridge, or a therapist whose approach and background feel like the right match. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you feel more confident in your choice.
Therapy in Brooklyn can be expensive, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
