Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in New York

Life comes with never ending joys and challenges. As humans we are in need of diverse ways in which we can; grow, cope, express, and understand ourselves and the world around us. The mind - body connection is a vitally important one that we must continue to nourish and develop throughout our lifetime. I believe in a client centered approach allowing you, to set the tone of our sessions. During sessions we will explore Art Therapy, talk therapy techniques, and mindfulness skills in order to delve deeper into the connection you have with yourself, others, and the world.

Im a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from Fordham University with a Masters in Clinical Social Work. I have worked with all ages from young children to the elderly. I enjoy sparking a change in peoples lives and their interpersonal relationships.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I specialize in trauma-informed care, CBT, DBT, and ERP. Using these evidence-based approaches, combined with years of therapeutic experience, I help clients navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. My approach is warm, empowering, and tailored to foster personal growth.

Are you feeling burned out or questioning whether your work is sustainable long-term? Are you successful on paper but constantly feeling like it’s not enough, or like you’re not enough?

I work with people who feel stuck between who they are and what others expect of them. This often shows up as burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck in a career that no longer fits. As a career changer from the finance sector, I understand firsthand how deeply our work can impact our mental health and overall fulfillment.

In our work together, we’ll untangle these patterns and explore where they come from. I also support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and multicultural experiences. This includes exploring how culture, identity, family expectations, and systemic pressures shape your experiences and sense of self. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what’s not working, make sense of your experiences, and begin to relate to yourself with more clarity and self-compassion.

My name is Heather Thompson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I came into this field after being helped and inspired by an LCSW in my own therapy as a teenager.

I use a warm, nonjudgemental approach with other evidenced based practices. I also find it helpful to build on the strengths you already have.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with nearly 20 years of ICU nursing and oncology nurse practitioner experience, I understand the deep connection between physical and mental health.
