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.
In my practice, I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, or dementia who are ready for change but may feel uncertain about where to start. Together, we will identify your unique needs, set meaningful goals, and create a personalized plan that supports healing, growth, and long-term well-being. My goal is to help you not just manage symptoms but rediscover balance, resilience, and hope.
I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy works best when it feels like a partnership—not a one-sided process. I approach each session as a space where we work together to better understand your experiences, patterns, and goals.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of New York, Colorado, and New Jersey, I've had the opportunity to work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families in various settings. While providing behavioral health supports, I've had the ability to partner through the process of healing wounds that serve as an impediment to wellness.
Within my practice, I utilize Brainspotting, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, trauma focused, play therapy, and solution focused therapy to aid in reaching a state of homeostasis.
I believe in empowering my clients by fostering self-compassion and reclaiming personal agency. If you are looking for a tailored approach that respects your story, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.
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.
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!
I received my B.A. in Psychology at Macaulay Honors College, CUNY, and my M.Ed. and M.A. in Mental Health Counseling at Teachers College, Columbia University.
After graduating, I have been working as a therapist since 2021 with a specialty in the LGBTQ+ community. I have worked with depressive, anxiety (generalized, OCD), ADHD, mood, personality disorders and disordered eating. Experience includes working with issues of self esteem, stress, relationships, parenting, gender, identity, race/ethnicity, immigration, grief, trauma, substances, habits, motivation, focus and attention.
My interests and clinical focuses include self-care, minority body image, Latinx mental health, psychosis in youth, and am passionate about self-acceptance/love. I created and use the motto "Write your own narrative" in my annual bootcamp as a reminder that we each have our own story and control over it.
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.
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
With over 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My background spans a variety of clinical and educational settings, which has given me a deep understanding of how social and behavioral patterns impact our daily lives. I believe that while life’s challenges are inevitable, staying "stuck" doesn't have to be. I'm here to help you tap into your innate resilience and build the practical tools needed to reclaim your sense of balance and emotional well-being.


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.
