My name is Melissa Cary and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of NY. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, stress management and enhancing self esteem. I focus on adolescents and adults who have a desire to participate in therapy.
Do you feel overwhelmed by stress and worry? Is every day filled with anxiety or sadness? Perhaps you lack confidence and struggle with self-esteem issues? Has Covid perhaps made you feel even more that you are not in control of your life? Is all of this making it harder and harder to cope with everyday life? I know what it means to get to a place where you can have peace, self-acceptance and contentment, where you can find meaning and happiness in your life, whatever you decide to accomplish.
I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families, teens and the elderly. Using many practices that have been proven to work, including mindfulness and meditation, we will work together to help you accomplish your personal and professional goals.
Being human means struggling sometimes, and being human means finding the ability to go beyond our struggles. By working together, we will help you learn new skills and use your own wisdom to reach your goals and build greater self-awareness and self-empowerment, overcome depression, anxiety, stress and self-worth issues, and live a fuller and happier life.
Hello, my name is Christie Jones and I am a licensed clinical independent social worker, licensed to practice in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York. I have been clinically licensed for 12 years and have a variety of experience working with many different people from different walks of life. My approach to therapy is very direct. I am warm and compassionate and do my best to help my clients lead functional and productive lives.
I’m glad you’re here. I’m a warm, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental therapist who truly wants to know you—not just what’s going wrong, but who you are as a whole person. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. Clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their growth. If you’ve been looking for a space where you can feel understood and supported, you’re in the right place.
I believe that one of the bravest and most meaningful steps a person can take is beginning to understand their own story. My approach to therapy is holistic, recognizing the interconnected nature of emotional, mental, and personal well-being.
I am committed to meeting you where you are, working collaboratively at a pace that feels comfortable and appropriate for you. Together, we can explore and address the challenges that may be impacting your growth and well-being.
I look forward to partnering with you to gain deeper insight, foster meaningful change, and help shape the future you envision for yourself.
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.
In my time working with patients, I have noticed two common denominators. Suffering and change. We all suffer in our own way. Wants we cannot have. Love that is unreciprocated. Thoughts that won’t leave us alone. These things are the inherent challenges of life. The magnitude of our suffering is matched only by the capacity we have for change. To change our mood. To change our way of thinking. To change the way we interact with others. To change the way we interact with ourselves. No matter the change, it starts with knowing it is possible and identifying the first step needed. Reach out today and we will take that first step.
I have experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, relationship issues, and many other concerns. Using an eclectic style of therapy, I pull from different approaches to meet the needs and goals of each person. Underlying any approach is a culturally competent foundation of empathetic support.
In session, you will have a safe place to process and learn how to cope with what is happening outside of session. You will be supported unconditionally. Together, we will work to better understand the changes that are needed to be the best version of yourself.

People often find themselves stuck in life in many ways, whether they are depressed, have anxiety, abuse substances, or have had serious events impact their lives in debilitating ways. It is perfectly human to want to avoid working through these problems, and I can provide the therapeutic space to begin to create change. Joining in the effort with the right therapist is key to that change.

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.
