Mental health support in Nyack is now more accessible through Headway. Serving Upper Nyack, West Nyack, and surrounding areas, our providers offer therapy and medication management with sessions tailored to your schedule and covered by insurance plans.

Hi! I’m Briana. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Brooklyn, NY. I work primarily with adults and young adults navigating life transitions, managing stress, and coping with anxiety and depression.
I have worked for over 20 years in private practice and within the school system with children. My training consisted of psychodynamic and psychoanalytic method and different approaches in child psychology. I'm also a practicing artist with Master's degree in painting from Pratt Institute. My varied background means I understand and appreciate people. And yet what matters most is that, knowing yourself gives you the freedom to productively navigate your life. Getting to know yourself is the road less traveled. It’s a privilege only you can give yourself.
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, and I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs and goals. I value authenticity, cultural sensitivity, and helping clients feel empowered as they work toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
Hi, I'm Ruthellen, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 28 years of experience supporting people through some of life's most challenging moments. Mental health has always been personal to me — watching my own family navigate those struggles is what called me into this work, and giving back to my community is what keeps me going. Outside of the office, you'll find me cheering on my favorite teams or staying active, because I truly believe movement and joy are part of the whole picture.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing and growth are possible. I am here to support your goals and help you achieve the best version of you! I work with adults 18+ with a variety of mental health diagnoses. I specialize in those who may struggle with suicidal ideations, BPD, or Bipolar Disorder. Thank you for visiting my page and I hope we can begin this therapeutic journey together!
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
I understand the depths of hardship due to psychological suffering. I am passionate about partnering with the individual to find meaning in this suffering. In treatment I do not focus on getting rid of pain, but learning to make space for it while living a full life. I utilize a person in environment perspective to understand your challenges and collaborate to make change that feels right for you.
Hi there, and welcome!
Congrats on taking the first step. As a licensed psychotherapist, my passion is listening and tuning into my clients' strengths, challenges, and what's holding them back from experiencing their best selves - and going from there. I work with adults of all ages, and specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression. I hold a Masters from Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Services, completed a two-year training program at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, and am EMDR trained.
I am a licensed clinical Social Worker and have over 20 years of experience in Health/Mental Health Social Work and Counseling.
I have a kind approach and attempt to meet you where you are on your journey.
I offer a variety of therapies to fit clients needs. I provide treatment to children, pre-teens, adolescents, and adults, for a variety of mental health concerns.
Services include:
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.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding a therapist in Nyack starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Providers in the area commonly work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship challenges, and family dynamics. Some specialize in specific approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or EMDR. Whether you're looking for individual therapy, couples counseling, or care for a child or teen, knowing your priorities can help you narrow your search.
Beyond specialty, consider practical factors like whether you prefer in-person sessions in Nyack or virtual visits from home, and whether a provider's availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you commit. Many providers offer a free phone consultation so you can ask questions and see if it feels like a good fit.
Therapy in the Nyack area can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to bring costs down. 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 provider who matches your needs and your coverage.
