Hi, I’m Nikki — owner of Dragonfly Haven Wellness LCSW PLLC. I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University, earned in 2003. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges in both outpatient and school-based mental health settings.
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from a blend of psychodynamic therapy, relational approaches, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and Encompass co-occurring treatment to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change.
I’ve recently competed a certified integrative mental health provider course to focus more on body-based approaches alongside traditional talk therapy to support healing as a whole-person process.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are.
Hello! I specialize in working with woman and adolescents, combining both nursing and psychotherapy techniques to address issues from a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial perspective, seeking to help clients improve holistically.
My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in lived experience. Claiming joy and authenticity—as a sober, trans, kinky, non-monogamous, bisexual person—has taken time, intention, and community. I’ve moved through fear, people-pleasing, relapse, and grief, and found healing in therapy and holistic recovery spaces that reminded me who I was when I couldn’t see it myself.
I believe we’re all doing our best with the tools we have, and that therapy can offer space to build new ones—tools for feeling more, hiding less, and showing up in ways that feel true. My style is collaborative, steady, and grounded in care that doesn’t shy away from depth.
I earned my MSW from Columbia University in 2015 and began my career in home-based family therapy at NY Foundling. I later supported LGBTQIA+ youth at the LGBT Center and joined Dulcinea Pitagora’s group practice before founding my own. I continue to offer clinical supervision to social work interns at the LGBT Center.
After 11 years in NYC, I moved to the Hudson Valley to live among trees, rescue dogs, and small-town queer community. Outside of session, I’m often on a trail, on my yoga mat, or watching the birds from my porch.
Hello! I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a nursing career in psychiatry that spans over a decade. I have experience serving a diverse patient population in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings.
I grew up in NYC and I received my Master's Degree in Nursing from University of Rochester.
I have been Board certified Advanced Practice Nurse for 6 years. I have about 1 year experiencing specializing in generalized anxiety, major depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I have 4 years of experience as a telemedicine provider. I became a PMHNP because I take pride in helping other achieve a sense of joy in finding peace in their reality and creating healthy coping strategies.
Hi! My name is Shira and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Florida and New York. I am an integrative, action-oriented therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples move from feeling stuck and disconnected to living with deep purpose, clarity, and security. I believe true healing requires looking at the whole person. Because of this, my work bridges the gap between the mind and the body. Clients appreciate that I bring a unique balance of profound warmth, practical directness, and evidence-based science to every session.
Looking for guidance to work through trauma? Feeling stuck in your relationship? Wondering about your life’s purpose? You’re not alone. We all face challenges at different points in our lives, and sometimes we need support to find self-awareness and compassion—both essential to healing. Using evidence-based approaches like IFS and EMDR, I help support emotional and mental health goals. I believe we all have the innate ability to feel, heal, discover, and live a more uplifting life. All it takes to begin is the willingness to take that first step and trust the process.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
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.
