I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience who enjoys helping people discover that something different is possible. Self-defeating patterns of feeling or thought, challenges in your relationships, grief and loss, and the impact of past trauma can leave you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Therapy is a space, process, and relationship in which we seek to build awareness into how you navigate through life. We’ll work together to address what’s getting in the way of having a life that is more fulfilling and authentic.

Karen Buelvas

Karen Buelvas

Therapist

Virtual • New York


As a bilingual psychotherapist, I am passionate about supporting people through life's challenges while fostering greater clarity, self-understanding, and self-compassion. Drawing on my experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I strive to create meaningful therapeutic connections in which clients feel supported as they navigate change, healing, and personal growth.

I know that reaching out for support is not always easy, and whether this is your first experience with therapy or you are returning to it, I appreciate you taking the time to be here.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, or simply trying to make sense of difficult experiences. Others are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, trauma, life transitions, or the everyday stress that can come with balancing responsibilities, relationships, and personal expectations.

I believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not an evaluation. My goal is to provide a space where you can explore your experiences openly, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and identify tools and insights to help you move forward. I take a personalized approach to therapy and draw on a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs, goals, and experiences.

Providing culturally sensitive care is especially important to me, and I value working with people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel supported, challenged when needed, and empowered to create meaningful changes that feel authentic to who you are.

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.
