James Rusk

James Rusk

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • NY, NY


Hi, I’m James. I’ve worked as a psychotherapist developing positive client relationships since 2005.


Helping you reduce anxiety levels with breathwork and improve physical health with mindfulness and meditation techniques.


I’ve learned cognitive-behavioral treatments to assist you with overcoming addiction and anger management. And (how to) provide in-depth talk and mental health therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families.


At Rusk Therapy, each relationship between therapist and patient is individual and implements a variety of treatments. Once a course of action is agreed upon, we’ll approach therapy by incorporating the whole mind-body approach.


That includes the relationship between mental, emotional, and physical health, along with incorporating nutrition, supplements, and exercise. Working together, you can create an improved lifestyle that supports your best life.


The process of a successful therapeutic relationship depends on your effort and our compatibility, along with clear boundaries and feeling safe.


I believe it’s essential to find the right therapist, and doing this takes a phone call, a first session, or a few sessions. I welcome you to schedule a complimentary call to explore a possible therapeutic relationship.

Mia Hollenbach

Mia Hollenbach

Therapist

Virtual • New York, NY


I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. The ideal client is open, courageous, and dedicated to their personal growth. They engage in therapy with honesty, ready to explore and understand their inner world. Embracing change with a patience and self-compassion, they can recognize that healing is a journey. Life is too precious to spend in bad relationships, holding grudges, letting trauma control us, or feeling anxious and angry. Together, we can create a supportive and safe space to work towards a healthier, happier self.

My name is Mia Hollenbach and I received my Master's Degree from Columbia University. I am clinically licensed in both New York and New Jersey and have 8 years of professional experience. I would describe my therapeutic style as warm, affirming, non-judgmental & rooted in compassion.

I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment.

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning! Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I'm here with you every step of the way.

John Dowsett

Therapist

Virtual • New York, NY


My approach to therapy is straight forward, solution focused and empathetic. I understand that life can throw you curves and living with change and uncertainty can lead you down an unfamiliar path. 2021 has been a year of change, adjustment, stress and hardship. If you are tired of working on your issues alone, now may be the time to seek out help. In fact, you are making a courageous first step. You may not know what to do to make your life better, you just know that you want things to change and you want to be happier and healthier. I can help you sort out what steps you need to take to identify and address your issues.


I view therapy as an active, engaging and collaborative process. People say that I am not like other therapists. "He worked hard to see me, hear me, understand my issues and accept me for who I am. He did not sit back and say uh-huh every few minutes. Together we found solutions to long standing problems."


Trusting relationships do matter and from the beginning of the therapy process. I work hard to provide a safe and caring place to talk. I typically spend the first session getting to know who you are, where you want to be, and what is standing in your way of getting unstuck. Call me today and discover if I am the right resource for you.

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.
