I’ve been helping people for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important step toward caring for yourself. It’s not always easy, and it shows strength and courage.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges. My experience includes school settings, college multicultural affairs, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health counseling.
I also spent nine years in a hospital setting, working in psychiatric emergency services and on adolescent and adult inpatient units. This gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention and in supporting people through both mild and severe mental health concerns. Today, I continue to work in outpatient mental health, helping clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I look forward to working with you.

Hello! My name is Cathy Randolph and I am a Board-Certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I developed my passion for mental health during my journey working with veterans in residential PTSD and Substance abuse programs. My specialties include, but are not limited to treating and managing PTSD, Substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and adjustment disorder. I am also a Medicinal Marijuana clinician.
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

Find the right therapist for you
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 Merrick
Finding the right therapist in Merrick starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, look for a licensed provider who has experience with your specific concerns. Common provider types include licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Practical details matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Merrick or the flexibility of virtual appointments, and look for a provider whose availability fits your schedule. If you'd like help with medication management alongside talk therapy, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.
Therapy in the Merrick area can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use your in-network insurance 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 who fits both your needs and your budget.
