Therapists in New York

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience, I have provided care across clinical settings ranging from emergency medicine to family practice. My background in rural critical access and telehealth has fueled my commitment to expanding high-quality healthcare for underserved communities and busy individuals. I hold multiple advanced degrees in nursing and education, and I am nationally board certified as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Certified Nurse Educator. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about graduate-level nursing education, believing that patient understanding is the cornerstone of long-term health. Now based in Alaska, I combine clinical expertise with a compassionate approach to ensure my patients receive evidence-based, personalized support. My goal is to bridge the gap in traditional care through timely, accessible consultations that prioritize your wellness journey.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who provides individual psychotherapy to adults of all ages. I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and relationship problems. I help individuals by helping to reduce or resolve distressing symptoms while addressing root causes of their problems so that they can lead fuller, more satisfying and vibrant lives.

Welcome! I’m Alexandrea Maratea, a compassionate therapist here to help you feel more confident, connected, and at peace in your life. I work with individuals facing anxiety, self-esteem challenges, relationship and family stress, and workplace pressures.  My approach is warm, personalized, and grounded in understanding your unique experiences. Together, we’ll uncover what’s been holding you back and develop practical tools to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.  You deserve support and real change—you don’t have to navigate this alone. Let’s take that next step together.  

I’m Nycole A. Cox, a Nurse Practitioner, who works with professionals who look successful on the outside but feel completely depleted on the inside. If you’re carrying constant responsibility, making high-stakes decisions, and pushing through exhaustion because “that’s just part of the job,” you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. My path into psychiatric care became personal after experiencing burnout myself in high-pressure healthcare environments. I know what it’s like to function at a high level while feeling mentally drained, emotionally detached, and physically exhausted—no matter how much sleep you get. That experience reshaped how I care for patients and who I care for. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Kent State University and my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Cincinnati. I bring 12 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and 7 years as a Nurse Practitioner.

As an AuDHD (i.e. someone who is autistic and also happens to have ADHD), I am honored to work with neurodivergent people who have difficulty developing nourishing relationships, honoring themselves, and finding acceptance. I see my clients learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings and sensations, noticing their bodies, unmet needs, and humanity. From this, there is a shift from rejection to acceptance and holding. The body is no longer something to be avoided, but a home for healing, growth, and nourishment.

I'm a New York based therapist who helps overwhelmed, high-performing individuals navigate burnout, life transitions, stress, and the pressure to "hold it all together," I take a warm, real, conversational approach that helps clients feel understood, grounded, and actually supported.

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Chanel Freeman’s journey into mental health began with a life-changing childhood experience, inspiring her commitment to mental wellbeing and helping underserved communities. She earned her BSN from D’Youville College in 2012 and spent over a decade caring for patients in mental health and substance use treatment, including on a med-surg forensic unit at a Level 1 trauma hospital. In 2020, seeking flexibility as a single mother, she earned her MSN and began practicing as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. In January 2024, Chanel founded Chanel Freeman NP in Psychiatry PLLC, providing compassionate, accessible outpatient mental health care. Licensed in New York and Florida, she works closely with patients to offer personalized support and promote lasting mental wellbeing.

I’m a therapist who cares deeply about meeting you where you are. My practice is a space where you can finally slow down, feel seen, and be heard without judgment. Together, we explore what’s weighing on you and find gentle, practical ways to help you feel calmer, stronger, and more like yourself. I am in-network with Aetna, CDPHP, Cigna and Evernorth, Fidelis, and MVP Health Care.

Hi, I am Octavia a therapist at Your Voice Matters Therapy. I am accepting new clients so feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. I aim to create a warm, safe, confidential, and judgment-free space for clients. It is important for clients to have such a space to be able to unpack and explore all that is bothering them. I work with clients through a few different approaches such as strength-based, Humanistic, and mindfulness. Therapy is not one size fits all and thus I tailor my work to each individual client. I believe that everyone is the author of their life story. In that story, you may experience many challenges, but know that you do not have to face those challenges alone. Together we can work through those challenges so that you are ready and prepared for whatever other challenges the future may hold. Together we will build a tool kit to help you continue your life story. Do not end it here!
