Hi there! My name is Stephen and I transitioned to counseling because I love working with people from all walks of life. I come from a career in education and like to empower clients with tools they can use on a daily basis. I'm a naturally curious person so I'll be sure to ask a lot of questions during our sessions too.
I've worked successfully with race-and class-diverse, LGBT and straight clients from teens to seniors. Many are new to NYC or in other life transitions. Clients come with anxiety, identity issues, relationship or work problems, trouble managing anger...My style is warm yet analytical, and interactive. I encourage laughter! I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully--and joyfully.

I work with people who are stuck at certain crossroads in their life. Typically, the external problems seem to solve themselves once therapy reaches a certain point. This applies to work, relationships, life goals, and creative pursuits. My job is to help you transform mental or physical pain into something that is bearable and makes life worth living.
I work with a wide range of clients.
I welcome any questions you have. Feel free to give me a call or email with any questions you have about starting therapy.
I have been in private practice as a psychologist for the past 30+ years and I can honestly say that I remain passionate about and dedicated to the work that I do as a therapist. I have a BA in Psychology and Human Biology from Stanford University and a Masters in Public Health from Yale University. My doctorate in Clinical Psychology is from The Graduate Center, C.U.N.Y and I completed training as a psychoanalyst at the NYU Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental presence. I work collaboratively and at a reflective pace, creating a space where you can explore emotions and creativity without pressure to perform or “get it right.” Music is always an invitation, not a requirement. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more connected to yourself.
Great to meet you!
My name is Haydee Cerezo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a trained psychotherapist with specialization in treatment for depression, anxiety, grief/loss and life transitions. With 20 years of experience, I understand that seeking help can be challenging and takes courage. Congratulations on taking the first step. Prioritizing one's mental health can lead to a happier and stable life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Scarsdale
Finding the right therapist in Scarsdale starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Common reasons residents seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and support for children or teens. Scarsdale and the surrounding Westchester County area have providers trained in a range of approaches — from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to family therapy and couples counseling. Knowing whether you want in-person sessions locally or prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments can also help narrow your search.
When comparing providers, look beyond credentials. A therapist's specialty, communication style, and approach all play a role in whether the relationship feels like a good fit. Reading detailed provider bios and scheduling a phone consultation before your first session can help you feel more confident in your choice.
Therapy in the Scarsdale area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit with coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
