These challenging times can strain our abilities to cope. You may find you are more fatigued or more irritable; many are feeling the stress in important relationships. It has been an especially difficult time for children and teens, and their parents. It's a good time to get some support. I believe that healing starts with self compassion. I can help you to cultivate a compassionate curiosity that honors your strengths and explores the areas where you would like to change and grow.
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.
I've worked successfully with race-and class-diverse, LGBT and straight clients from teens to seniors. Many are new to NYC or in other life transitions. Clients come with anxiety, identity issues, relationship or work problems, trouble managing anger...My style is warm yet analytical, and interactive. I encourage laughter! I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully--and joyfully.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lynbrook
Finding the right therapist in Lynbrook starts with getting clear on what kind of support you need. Therapists in the area offer a range of approaches — from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to family therapy and trauma-informed care. Some providers specialize in anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns, while others focus on life transitions, stress, or specific populations like teens or couples. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before your first session.
Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Lynbrook or the flexibility of virtual visits, which many local providers offer. Check whether a provider's availability fits your schedule, and confirm they accept your insurance plan — this is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs.
Therapy in the New York metro area can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use your in-network benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Lynbrook who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
