Sourelly Hasbun

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Seeking support is one of the most courageous steps you can take, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and empowered—not judged. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative, and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while building the skills and confidence to move toward the life you want.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and trauma. I also enjoy supporting high-achieving professionals who often appear to have everything together on the outside while quietly carrying overwhelming emotional burdens behind the scenes.

As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish, allowing clients to express themselves in the language that feels most natural and comfortable.

My approach is personalized because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. I integrate evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based interventions, psychoeducation, and strengths-based techniques to help clients develop practical tools that create meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you're struggling with overwhelming anxiety, navigating a difficult relationship, healing from painful experiences, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide the space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I'm here to meet you where you are, and together we'll work toward helping you become the healthiest version of yourself.

Paige Kessler

Therapist

Virtual • New York


There are times in life when we feel stuck, lonely, anxious, or disconnected from ourselves. While these experiences can be painful, I believe they often serve as powerful catalysts for growth, healing, and transformation. Earning your trust and helping you establish a secure, empowering baseline for your care is an honor I hold deeply. Over my five years of practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have found profound meaning in supporting adults and couples through their most difficult moments. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, and trauma. I am also fiercely committed to providing affirming care for the LGBTQIA+ community, offering a safe harbor for those seeking an inclusive, sex-positive space. It is a privilege to support people as they develop greater self-awareness, strengthen their resilience, and move toward a more authentic version of themselves.

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 an Anxiety Therapist in New York

Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.

The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
