Candice Crawford

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • The Bronx, NY


It's very difficult to be in stressful situations that can cause lots of anxiety and self-doubt. Perhaps you're looking for something more than advice from family and friends. If you're looking for a warm and inviting counseling atmosphere, I am eager to work with you to develop effective coping skills and a greater self-awareness to reach your full potential. Together, you and I can work to set goals that are appropriate and attainable for you, at your pace. For therapy to be effective for you, I work hard to build genuine and long lasting trust.


I have experience working with clients who have suffered from anxiety, depression, and marital issues. Additionally, I believe that cultural factors are critical to the way we navigate through life. I work hard to address cultural matters, to understand how these may impact our perception of the world.


Call me for a free consultation where we can discuss your needs and goals. For your convenience, I offer online counseling. También, ofrezco servicios en español. Llamame para discutir tus metas.

Happy patient looking away

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 Valley Stream

Finding the right therapist in Valley Stream starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Therapists in this area specialize in a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, and family conflict. Some focus on specific approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while others work with particular age groups or communities. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good match.

Practical details matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Valley Stream or a nearby community like Lynbrook, Hewlett, or Elmont — or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better. Many licensed providers in New York offer both options. Confirming that a provider is accepting new patients and that their availability works with yours can save time early in the process.

Therapy in the greater New York City metro area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. 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 therapist in Valley Stream who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
