Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also gently challenged to grow. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not judgmental, not passive, and not surface-level.

Hi, I’m Rebecca! I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York. I graduated with my Master's in Social Work in May 2019 and became licensed in NYS in September 2019. Since then, I have worked full time in outpatient community mental health. Through out my education and employment, I have specialized in working with adults with co-occurring disorders (in other words, individuals who struggle with mental health and substance use simultaneously).

I have spent most of my life helping people be the best versions of themselves, in one capacity or another. As a trauma-responsive counselor, I have several years of professional experience working with adults dealing with a variety of mental health issues (e.g., anxiety, depression, addiction, loss, life transitions, relationship issues, etc.). What is most important to my client is most important to me. I strive to help clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to navigate whatever life handles them.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to discuss whatever issues or concerns you are struggling with. We will explore root causes behind recurring patterns in your life, and we will address core beliefs that may be holding you back. I work with clients from all walks of life and have a wide range of experience in the mental health field. I am also trained in EMDR.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Forensic Psychology and a Master's in Social Work, with 15 years of experience in the field—six of those in clinical practice. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, youth, adults, families, veterans, the elderly, marginalized and vulnerable populations, and individuals impacted by substance use. My diverse experience has deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, effective support tailored to each person's unique needs.

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a constant state of survival mode? Overwhelmed by stress, emotionally drained, or just going through the motions of life? Reaching out for help takes courage, and you don’t have to navigate this alone. Taking the first steps toward therapy can feel overwhelming, I know, because I’ve been there too. My goal is to help you navigate this process by providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. I work primarily with young adults in their 20’s and 30’s who are navigating anxiety, trauma, family and relationship issues, stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their experiences, and the reasons behind their emotions.

I want you to know that my door is always open. And I'd give my all to your needs. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, as well as personality disorders. And I work with adults and seniors. Here to help you find the right avenue for your life.

I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.

I'm an LCSW in New York and am very passionate about my work. I'm eternally grateful for my ability to help people navigate difficult times in their lives. My primary focus is ensuring that you feel heard, validated, and understood. I believe therapy is a valuable resource to learn about yourself and focus on honing your strengths.
