Virtual • New York


I began my career as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research on traditional medicine in Sochi, Russia. I presented my work at the United States Embassy in Moscow, highlighting cross-cultural perspectives in healthcare and integrative practice.

After completing my grant, I attended New York University (NYU). I then completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. I went on to earn my doctorate from the University of San Diego, California, where I focused on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care.

I am passionate about working with Veterans and individuals experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders. In 2023, I completed CIIS training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. In 2025, I was among the first providers in Colorado and in the country to become licensed as a psilocybin facilitator.

Monique Barragan

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hola, Welcome! My name is Monique and I’m a bilingual mental health counselor with over seven years of experience supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and emotions. Over the years, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, caregivers, and professionals navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, depression, life transitions, and burnout. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in negative thinking patterns, or struggling with stress in relationships, work, or major life changes. I help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so they can develop practical tools to manage stress, build healthier boundaries, and feel more in control of their lives. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I provide a warm, collaborative space where clients can explore stress, transitions, relationships, and personal growth in a way that feels both practical and empowering. My goal is to help you build clarity, resilience, and confidence as you create a life that feels balanced and aligned with who you are.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I'm Yumi. I'm an Asian American psychotherapist and offer online therapy/telehealth in New York and Michigan. I'm in network with a few insurance plans.

I’ve spent most of my professional life working to promote social justice and trauma-informed care in the areas of mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, education/disability rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, and services for the unhoused.

Soul searching during the COVID-19 pandemic shifted my "why." After several years in policy and program development & implementation, I've returned to what I trained for: 1-on-1 work with adults. I work with lots of folks who identify as Asian/Asian American, POC/BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, 1st/2nd generation immigrants, 1st generation college students, and introverts. I work with people grappling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and issues related to identity or low self-acceptance/self-compassion. But, I enjoy working with adults of all ages and from all backgrounds and walks of life.

Valerie Smith

Valerie Smith

Therapist

Virtual • New York


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.

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.
