Therapist

Virtual • New York


Once I became a mother, I began to value my ability to listen intently and hold space for all dimensions of a person. My background as a storyteller has shaped how my conversations with clients are structured yet intuitive. My work experience as a director of social-emotional programming to providing 1:1 psychotherapy in private practice for almost a decade has allowed me to support individuals from an array of backgrounds. Most of all, learning how to re-parent my own innerchild after trauma has given me the compassion and insight to consistently help my clients change their lives.

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 Rensselaer

Finding a therapist in Rensselaer, NY starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else — and look for a licensed provider with experience in that area. Reviewing a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.

Rensselaer is a smaller city, so your options for in-person care may be more limited than in nearby Albany or Troy. Virtual sessions can expand your choices significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across New York State who accept your insurance. On Headway, you can browse providers offering both in-person and virtual appointments across the Capital Region.

Therapy in New York can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. You can confirm your specific coverage on Headway to see what's available in your area.
