Welcome. If you’ve come this far, I imagine you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and frustrated - that life lacks in the meaning, vitality, and belonging that you would desire for yourself. Sometimes, despite our best efforts to overcome our problems, we can feel lost and demoralized. Should this resonate with your experience, allow me to share about my practice and how I might help. I am a clinical psychologist with a broad range of expertise and specialize in trauma, loss, and related problems of identity, relationships, and meaning.

Emma Moloney

Emma Moloney

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Marist College. My clinical background includes working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and the stressors that come with major life transitions.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, not analyzed or rushed. I bring a calm, compassionate presence to sessions and value creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are — even if you’re not sure how to put things into words yet.

I work well with clients who are thoughtful, self-aware, and may feel like they’re “functioning” on the outside but carrying anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional heaviness internally. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, or long-standing patterns that no longer feel sustainable.

I view therapy as a collaborative process. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your emotional capacity, and move toward meaningful, lasting change — at a pace that feels safe and respectful.

My style is thoughtful, reflective, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also being gently challenged when it’s helpful. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you, but about increasing awareness, strengthening emotional capacity, and helping you move forward in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.

I draw from evidence-based approaches, tailoring therapy to each individual’s needs. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based CBT, and Narrative Therapy, allowing us to both understand current patterns and reshape the way you relate to your experiences and personal story.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Spring Valley, NY


Are you a woman or a couple struggling with the deep impact of trauma, anxiety, or relationship stress? Do you hear that voice saying, "I'm not good enough; I don’t deserve happiness"? I want you to know those ingrained beliefs aren't facts! They are coping mechanisms that are now keeping you stuck. They're often just patterns learned in old relationships. I help women and couples move past old habits towards safe attachment and acceptance within. You have untapped inner strengths, and you absolutely can go from just coping to thriving and living a full-hearted life.

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.
