Austin Dowling

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 14 mi away • New York, NY


I started my career as a litigation attorney in Ireland where I grew up. I spent many years working in law and financial services in the US, Australia, and China. Most recently, I worked as a therapist for a community activist organization.

I was drawn to therapy from my prior career having seen firsthand the enormous value it can bring in improving both the quality and enjoyment of our lives. Therapy offers us a safe space to explore the parts of ourselves we cannot access in the midst of our daily routines. When we get right down to it, the quality of the relationships we have with others flows from the relationship we have with ourselves.

I live in Brooklyn with my husband, our two kids and a mildly anxious dog, whose interest in therapy is limited to eating her feelings. I work with clients both in person, in mid-town Manhattan, and remotely.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Yonkers

Finding an LGBTQIA-affirming therapist in Yonkers starts with understanding what kind of support you're looking for. Some people seek help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns that may be shaped by experiences of minority stress or discrimination. Others want a provider who can support identity exploration, coming out, or navigating family dynamics — without needing to explain the basics of LGBTQIA+ life. An affirming therapist acknowledges and respects your identity as a foundation for care, not something to work around.

Yonkers and the broader Westchester County area are home to a range of licensed providers, including therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, who specialize in LGBTQIA-affirming care. When evaluating a provider, consider reading their bio to learn about their training, therapeutic approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients. A free phone consultation can also help you gauge whether a provider feels like the right match before committing to a session.

Therapy in the New York metro area can be expensive, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find an LGBTQIA-affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
