I’m Theo Bizimana, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Daystar University in Nairobi, Kenya, and an Advanced Certificate in Mental Health Counseling from the University at Buffalo. I bring more than 17 years of experience supporting individuals and communities, including over 11 years of work focused on community trauma in East Africa and 6 years of clinical experience in the United States.
Therapy can be healing, communicative, and an avenue to self-discovery. It can be a way to access social skills, self-expression, and self-awareness.. Whatever the goal, utilizing the power of music as a vehicle towards these processes can be very effective. (Some of my goals and techniques are featured in a Psychology Today article on 2/18/21 "Increase Coping and Resilience by Writing a Song").
As your mental health provider here's what I want you to know about me:
- I listen first
- I believe in collaboration
- I treat the whole person
- Medication is a tool, not a requirement.
- There is no shame in seeking help.
- Progress is possible.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and families. I provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected.
I have experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, life transitions, school or work stress, and relationship challenges. I also work with parents who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure how to cope during difficult stages of parenting.
Additionally, I support individuals transitioning from hospitalizations who are motivated to improve their quality of life and build stability within the community.
I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to make sense of themselves during stressful or transitional periods of life. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, burnout, work-related stress, or the emotional toll of caring for others. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and able to approach challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
I have particular experience working with young adults, young professionals, healthcare workers, first responders, and men—especially those who may be new to therapy or unsure where to start. Through my work across emergency, outpatient, residential, and telehealth settings, I’ve supported individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life circumstances. This has shaped me into a flexible and adaptable clinician who is comfortable meeting clients where they are.
I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. This experience includes 12 years as the Commissioner of Mental Health in a county in New York. This work included responsibility for mental health, alcoholism, mental retatardation (as it was called at the time), forensic mental health and family court.
I specialize in short term treatment or CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with Adults.
I also believe I have the experience to work with women of color navigating the work field. I've written a couple books re this experience.
I'm active in my community as well as living a healthy lifestyle. I also love to travel.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Kingston, NY
Searching for therapists in Kingston starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or trauma. As you compare Kingston therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with the concerns that matter to you. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and help people set goals for care.
In a smaller city like Kingston, local therapist availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New York while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, in-person or virtual format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare approach, style, and fit in one place.
Therapy in Kingston can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for a therapist in Kingston, NY who matches your preferences, accepts your plan, and has available appointments. You can review bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
