Have you been let down by the mental health system? If you've been rushed through appointments, given quick diagnoses, or told your labs are "fine" when you know something is off, I want you to know you're not alone—and you're in the right place. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I created my practice for individuals like you who are ready to move beyond symptom-chasing and find a clear, root-cause understanding of their mental health.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am Samantha Motie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with four years of experience supporting women through the unique challenges of motherhood. My work focuses on young mothers, single mothers, and individuals navigating perinatal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and the emotional transitions that come with this stage of life.

I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen, heard, and supported. I understand that accessing therapy as a parent—especially with young children at home—can be challenging, so I strive to make the process as adaptable and inclusive as possible. Whether that means flexible scheduling, virtual sessions, or creating space for the realities of parenting during sessions, I aim to meet clients where they are without judgment.

My name is Wendy Green, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. I work with adults, supporting them through a wide range of challenges including anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and women’s issues.

I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. My approach is flexible and guided by your unique needs.

In practice, this means we’ll work together to explore your experiences, identify unhelpful patterns, and find practical strategies that support your growth and well-being.

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 New York

Finding the right therapist in New York starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types in New York include licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus.

New York has one of the largest concentrations of mental health providers in the country, which can make narrowing your options feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most to you: a provider's specialty, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, their location relative to your neighborhood or commute, and their availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and approach so you feel more confident going in.

Therapy in New York can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see which providers are covered and get an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.
