Hi, I’m Dr. Samoya Henry-Pierre-Louis, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist who is passionate about helping individuals heal and grow. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and families, particularly those navigating trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions.

I use a Christ-centered lens in my work and welcome clients who value incorporating their faith into the healing process.
I have spent most of my life helping people be the best versions of themselves, in one capacity or another. As a trauma-responsive counselor, I have several years of professional experience working with adults dealing with a variety of mental health issues (e.g., anxiety, depression, addiction, loss, life transitions, relationship issues, etc.). What is most important to my client is most important to me. I strive to help clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to navigate whatever life handles them.
Bilingual Therapist [Spanish]: Proficient in Overcoming Challenges, Expert in Crafting Solutions
Terapeuta Bilingüe: Experto en Superar Desafíos, Especialista en Crear Soluciones.
I am a dedicated licensed clinical social worker, with over 15 years experience. I am focused on helping individuals lead a happier, healthier life. I take a warm, caring approach with clients and individualize care to each unique client.
Mental health acts as a lens that shapes how we see and understand our experiences. When we take good care of it, it can make life's challenges feel less overwhelming, helping us to face them more calmly and confidently. As a therapist, I firmly believe that mental health fosters a resilient mindset that promotes self-compassion, acceptance, optimism and hope. With nearly a decade of experience as a practicing therapist, I have supported clients of all ages, ranging from infants and parents to adolescents and adults. My current focus is on helping young adults navigating the pressures of expectations, feeling disconnected from their voice, or uncertain about their next steps. I provide a space where you can fully be yourself.
I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Let's work together to build healthy strategies you can implement to manage through life's challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or daily life stressors, I am here to help.
I am an LCSW with over 10 years of experience in the field. I've worked in hospital settings, inpatient and outpatient mental health, and telehealth therapy. I draw from a wide range of modalities to provide personalized therapeutic solutions and am certified in EMDR, REBT, and am in training as a sex therapist. I have experience and expertise in treating mood disorders, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, and neurodivergent people.
Hello! My name is Rich Rutherford, LCSW. My practice is RNR Counseling Services LCSW, PLLC located in West Seneca, NY. I have over 25 years' experience working in human services with both children and adults including case management, foster care, juvenile residential treatment, forensic social work and providing therapy to both children and adults. I have been in private practice since 2023 and provide individual therapy to anyone 12 and up. I will consider family therapy depending upon the circumstances. I have office hours Mon-Thursday 6pm-8pm and Saturday 9am-1pm. I have expanded availability on some holidays.
Hi, I’m Valerie, and I specialize in complex/developmental trauma and grief. I work primarily with women navigating childhood trauma, complicated family dynamics, narcissistic abuse, and what it means to move through life without the support they should have had. I also work with young adults who have experienced the loss of one or both parents.
Many of my clients are used to being the "strong one" -- the one who holds everything together, even while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted underneath. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to do that anymore.
I use EMDR and Induced After Death Communication therapies to help process experiences that feel stuck, not just intellectually, but emotionally and physically. This work goes beyond talking about what happened; we focus on helping your system actually shift so those experiences no longer carry the same weight.
I have a particular passion for working with grief, including the kind that isn’t always recognized—like estrangement, losing a parent (emotionally or physically), or becoming an adult without the support you needed. I don’t believe grief is something you “get over,” but something you learn to carry differently.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University and my Bachelor of Social Work from Adelphi University, graduating summa cum laude from both. I began my work in a community mental health clinic and later worked in several private practices before opening my own.
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to focus on yourself and/or your family’s needs. I am Julie Saraceno and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist. I have almost ten years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families from infancy through adulthood. I specialize in working with individuals and families impacted by trauma, separations, grief/loss and experiencing postpartum anxiety and/or depression.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
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.
