Find a therapist in Nanuet, NY — covered by insurance

Hi, I’m James. I’ve worked as a psychotherapist developing positive client relationships since 2005.

Helping you reduce anxiety levels with breathwork and improve physical health with mindfulness and meditation techniques.

I’ve learned cognitive-behavioral treatments to assist you with overcoming addiction and anger management. And (how to) provide in-depth talk and mental health therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families.

At Rusk Therapy, each relationship between therapist and patient is individual and implements a variety of treatments. Once a course of action is agreed upon, we’ll approach therapy by incorporating the whole mind-body approach.

That includes the relationship between mental, emotional, and physical health, along with incorporating nutrition, supplements, and exercise. Working together, you can create an improved lifestyle that supports your best life.

The process of a successful therapeutic relationship depends on your effort and our compatibility, along with clear boundaries and feeling safe.

I believe it’s essential to find the right therapist, and doing this takes a phone call, a first session, or a few sessions. I welcome you to schedule a complimentary call to explore a possible therapeutic relationship.

I'm very experienced, dedicated, flexible in terms of days and hours, and able to be both supportive and appropriately challenging when needed. I especially enjoy working with couples and families as I can "hear" all parties and focus on helping each person speak their truth safely and also to listen. Professionally, I have an LCSW, authored or coauthored 4 books, 3 with HarperCollins and W. W. Norton. I've produced dozens of award-winning videos addressing addiction and relapse prevention widely used in treatment and corrections. I also have raised 3 children and served as both a foster- and adoptive- parent. Above all, I have integrity, a depth of experience, and good humor.

I have completed clinical training at HHC/Bellevue Hospital inpatient psychiatric unit. I also have years of experience working at community mental health clinics.

I'm a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Registered Drama Therapist, and Ph.D. in Organizational Development. My personal and professional work in social and racial justice informs my commitment to addressing the impact of trauma among those who identify as caregivers, protectors and fighters.

Nice to meet you!

As a Mental Health Counselor I am deeply passionate about helping individuals heal, grow, and reach their full potential. My work is fueled by my strong belief that everyone has the capacity to create change in their lives. My specialties are:

· Anxiety

· Depression

· Addiction & recovery

· Stress Management

· Trauma and PTSD

· Faith based (Christian) counseling

My therapeutic method is tailored to fit your temperament and individual experience. You may be facing a combination of personal, social, and institutional adversity. Discomfort may be unavoidable, but you are not alone; I can help you transform hardship or tragedy into resilience. My process is effective; it evolves as you do. If you experience negative feelings like inadequacy, grief, or shame, I can help you understand the origin of the discomfort and make changes toward ease. Sometimes, worry can be helpful; other times, anxiety and depression lie to us. Having worked in both economically-strained and prosperous communities, I have seen the impact of trauma and neglect on various people. I also understand being a white male can insulate me against the prejudice and discrimination commonly experienced by people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community; I trust my client’s experiences and take responsibility for my blind spots.

Sometimes words don’t fully capture our experiences or do them justice. My journey into this work began with the discovery that art, music, movement, and other forms of creative expression can communicate the parts of ourselves that language alone cannot reach. These expressions are deeply human and can become powerful pathways to insight, healing, and connection.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work from NYU. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly, gain clarity, and develop practical tools to move forward. My focus is helping you better understand patterns, manage what feels overwhelming, and make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.

My goal is to guide clients to improve their interpersonal relationships, overcome life stresses, and feel less depressed and anxious. With 30 years of experience, I view therapy as a partnership where client and therapist work together. If setting goals and having an accountability partner in reaching those goals resonates, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

My name is Casey, and I am a licensed clinical social worker based in New York City. Most recently, I have been working at an NYU Langone family health center in Brooklyn, supporting individuals facing a wide range of challenges, with a particular focus on co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.

Before becoming a therapist, I developed programming and partnerships for a company centered on holistic wellness and spiritual inquiry. Through that work, I was exposed to alternative modalities such as herbalism, psychedelics, astrology, tarot, and Eastern philosophies. These experiences have deepened my understanding of healing and complement the tools offered by contemporary psychology.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 35 plus years in practice accompanying people through different life transitions. My degree is from New York University School of Social Work.

and my approach is integrative- body-mind-spirit. Issues addressed include depression, anxiety, relationships (parenting), sexual identity concerns including gender transitions. I hold a certification from the American Board of Clinical Sex Therapists.
