I have been working with the Elderly and their family members for 40 years. I work from a strength-based perspective and work with clients to empower them and help find solutions to their issues.
Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, like you are losing control, becoming easily frustrated and moody or having difficulty relaxing or quieting your mind? Are you finding yourself feeling unsure of how to deal with the increased anxiety, uncertainty, and isolation this pandemic brought? I am here to help you to improve your mood, build new coping skills, discover your meaningful life goals and gain confidence to improve many aspects of your life.

I have been working with individuals, couples and families for many years. I am thought of as empathic, warm and engaging. I consider therapy to be a partnership. It is designed to work towards "your" goals, and it is my goal, to help you achieve them. I have worked with people having many different "struggles" or "transitions" in their lives. I am experienced in all areas from trauma, childhood and adult abuse, DV, anxiety, depression, sexuality, family or other relationships, along with substance use disorders/struggles. I also understand the specific challenges that come with parenting, and the issues we encounter coping with the varied neeeds of aging parents. I use many different modalities in our work. I believe that we all can benefit from having a therapist to work with, and I look forward to meeting you. While I currently reside in the Hudson Valley, I am from NYC, and do also understand the specific stressors of city life.
Do you feel like your brain is always working against you? Maybe anxiety keeps you stuck in overthinking and ADHD makes follow-through feel impossible, even for the things that matter most to you. You are not lazy or behind. You just haven't had the right support yet. I'm Dr. Heather Clifford, a licensed psychologist specializing in anxiety and ADHD. I work with adults who are ready to stop surviving their days and start actually living them. I provide affirming care for queer individuals, with a particular passion for those on the bi+ spectrum.
Life is hard enough, starting therapy doesn't have to make it harder. As your therapist, I am dedicated to guiding you through life's challenges and helping you become the best version of yourself. I use a blend of psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I emphasize the importance of relationships and meet you where you are on your unique journey. Let's collaborate in a safe, judgment-free space, exploring your unique journey and strengthening your connections for positive change.

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.
