Hello, and welcome! My name is Joanne and I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in behavior change, goal achievement/ motivation, anxiety disorders, stress management, and navigating life transitions.
Both in and out of session, I am passionate about self-development- so you will also often find me creating art, dancing, hiking, or going for long mindful walks.
My name is Elyse Sellers and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from Fordham University in 2012 with a Masters in Social work. I have extensive experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. My focus is on individuals grappling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and women struggling with fertility issues.
My name is Amanda Egan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have always had a passion of helping others and I am constantly inspired by listening to people’s stories. There are many reasons people look into therapy and whether you just need someone to listen and help you talk things out or you are struggling with something currently, I can help. I have over a decade of clinical experience. I have worked with all ages and populations. Currently I also work as a Middle School Social Worker and assist adolescents in managing their school related stress and anxiety symptoms on a daily basis.
I specialize in anxiety and depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder and many more. I use a strengths based perspective and encourage my patients to use positive self talk. Contact me if you are currently in need of assistance or just need someone to talk to. I am a full time social worker and pitbull Mom but I will make myself available to you as needed.
I encourage everyone, no matter your background, circumstances or symptoms to reach out. If I feel I am not the best therapist to suit your needs, I can provide resources and referrals. Therapy is a big step for some and I am here to walk with you through this process. I provide a safe inclusive environment tailored to your specific needs.
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins in a safe and supportive relationship, where you can show up just as you are and feel genuinely seen and understood. Whether you’re moving through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the weight of cultural and generational trauma, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore your experience with care and curiosity.
You’re not here to be “fixed” because you’re not broken. You’re here to reconnect with your inner wisdom, reclaim clarity, and build a life that feels rooted and whole. I’m here to support you in that process, every step of the way.
I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist who values the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I respect your beliefs, identity, culture, and family background, and I welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into the process if it is important to you. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and a sense of safety, not through judgment. You should know that I walk alongside you with patience, kindness, and genuine care.

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.
