Therapists in Queens, NY

Hello! I’m Barbara Abigide, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner-Board Certified (PMHNP-BC), deeply committed to providing holistic and compassionate mental health care. With years of experience across various healthcare settings, I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and mood disorders. I believe mental health is a cornerstone of overall wellness. My approach focuses on creating a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard and supported. I prioritize developing personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, incorporating evidence-based practices like medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions. In addition to addressing immediate concerns, I emphasize preventive care and education. I work closely with my patients to identify triggers, build coping mechanisms, and foster resilience. Communication is central to my practice—I ensure you and your family are well-informed, comfortable with treatment decisions, and actively involved in the care process. Whether you’re seeking guidance for a specific challenge or long-term support for mental health management, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work toward achieving balance, mental clarity, and a fulfilling life. Thank you for trusting me on your mental health journey. Treatment Philosophy: My treatment philosophy is grounded in providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care. I focus on holistic approaches, combining evidence-based practices with personalized care plans to address your unique needs. I believe in fostering a collaborative partnership, empowering you to actively participate in your treatment. By emphasizing education, prevention, and open communication, I aim to guide you toward mental well-being and a better quality of life.

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Calling a therapist can be intimidating; take a moment, maybe even a deep breath. Allow me the opportunity to create a safe and Zen space for you. Together we can begin this journey of personal growth and healing. There is no pivotal time like the present to take this step to elevate yourself out of the cycle of bad relationships, grudges, trauma, or being anxious/angry all the time. We will collaboratively work to obtain clarity through mindfulness. I practice from an eclectic and client-centered approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create a unique space just for you. Therapy should be an exclusive experience for every individual, family, and couple. Let us begin this process of greater conciseness and living your best life. Give yourself a break; change can be challenging. Let's work towards breaking free of old patterns, creating balance in your life, and your natural capacity to heal. Your transformation starts NOW!

I believe that we are all human, who have human experiences. Sometimes those experiences affect the quality of our lives and how we move forward. Those experiences can also affect how we view the world. From the ages of 10-15 years old, I experienced several deaths of people that were really close to me. However, as I got older I developed the belief that despite tragedy and loss people are resilient and can get through anything when they feel safe and have support. I value the therapeutic relationship, as well as providing a safe space for my clients to process and be their authentic selves. My approach is solution- focused, client-centered, integrated with cognitive behavioral therapy. 

With over a two decades of experience in nursing and mental health care combined, I specialize in understanding and meeting the unique needs of each individual. My journey began as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I loved caring for others and pursued the following: Licensed Practical Nurse , Associate of Science in Nursing, followed by a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and a Master’s in Psychiatric Mental Health from Hunter College. I have worked in various challenging roles, including emergency room case management, utilization review, community nursing ,child and adult psychiatry. I am skilled in listening to my patients, addressing their concerns promptly, and coordinating with a network of resources to ensure they receive the best care possible. My expertise comes from addressing social determinants of health and medical /psychiatric needs to encompass total care. I have personal and professional experience with autism and the multifaceted approach individuals need as they age from behavioral recommendations, medication management, gold standard Applied Behavioral Analysis ( ABA), family needs related to burn out and working with education providers for growth and success.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified to provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and an AASECT-certified Sex Therapist. I bring a trauma-focused perspective to all of my work and pull from a mix of evidence-based treatments depending on client need. My specialties are in sex therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. My experience providing sex therapy includes treatment for the following conditions: desire discrepancy in couples; low sex drive; ED, PE, vaginismus, vulvodynia, recovery from sexual trauma, erotic recovery and emotional healing after an affair, negotiating boundaries within monogamy, the development of a polyamorous agreement, out-of-control sexual behaviors and kink-affirming care. I am so excited about ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), which I provide in partnership with prescribers through Journey Clinical. While nothing is a magic cure, I have been amazed and inspired by the rapid improvement I've seen in my KAP clients' lives.

I'm Keeley. I'm a native New Yorker and I've been in practice for about 14+ years. I'm an animal lover, swimmer, wannabe gardener, and mama to the most beautiful little boy, who happens to be on the Autism spectrum. There's pressure these days to reveal one's ethnic identity- I would describe my identity as multicultural that vacillates and varies. I take pride in working with adults of all backgrounds. I've seen the toll that increased success and money can take on a person's relationships with others and with themselves. You may feel socially isolated, misunderstood by family and friends from your past, perhaps even guilt or shame for doing so well while at the same time feeling that your accomplishments aren't enough. I work with high-achievers and (often) new HNW (high net worth) individuals to gain acceptance of their successes and finally feel at peace. I help them gain an understanding of their self-esteem; explore & implement boundaries with others, themselves, work, money; overcome loneliness; reduce stressors that affect their decision-making & financial well-being; and normalize their new power & social status, especially if they are a woman. Therapy is a safe place to confide. I usually describe my therapeutic/coaching style as big sisterish. I'm try to bring in humor but not without transparency. I was trained in a psychodynamic orientation, but like to include elements of other types of therapies.  I like therapy sessions to be both reflective and action-oriented. I've been in this field for about 14 years and have worked with many people just like yourself, in addition to knowing first-hand just what you are going through. You probably have plenty of questions, so please reach out to set up your consultation.  

You know something needs to change. Maybe you have carried a quiet sense for a while that something is not quite right. On the outside, you are capable and accomplished. On the inside, there may be anxiety, self-doubt, or a persistent feeling of not being good enough. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience working with adults. I believe change is possible. Together, we clarify what is keeping you stuck and move in a focused, collaborative way toward a more confident, values-driven life. I specialize in working with thoughtful, driven adults who feel stuck in anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and depression. Using CBT, we look closely at the patterns between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and work in a focused, collaborative way to shift them, so you can move through life with more flexibility, confidence, self-trust, and joy. Clients often share that they feel understood, gently challenged, and supported in ways that make meaningful change feel possible. If you’re ready to take a thoughtful, steady look at what’s keeping you stuck, I invite you to reach out. We can begin working toward changes that feel real and lasting.

I’m Dr. Michael Tom — Harvard- and Columbia-trained, board-certified in both Psychiatry and Community & Public Psychiatry. I’ve worked with clients who seem to have it all together on the outside but feel stressed, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. I’ve been there, and I know how exhausting it can feel to keep pushing forward without relief. My approach is grounded in experience and compassion. I provide a supportive space to help you make sense of the stress, understand your patterns, and develop strategies that truly work for your life. I am also a contributing author to the American Psychiatric Association's practice guidelines, so I bring a broad perspective and up-to-date knowledge to every session. Your goals: sleep that restores, focus that lasts, stronger relationships, and a career that's part of, but not all, of a meaningful life. I offer confidential therapy with or without medication management. We work on a plan that fits your schedule and the life you want, so you can get back to feeling like yourself.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R), a 500-hour Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT-500), a Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner, and a somatic therapist dedicated to helping individuals of all ages heal and thrive. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults, offering an integrative approach that honors the connection between mind, body, and emotions. My practice is grounded in the belief that emotional well-being is deeply interconnected with physical and mental health. I combine evidence-based psychotherapy with body-centered and experiential approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, yoga, mindfulness, and play therapy for children. This holistic framework helps clients build self-awareness, process difficult experiences, and develop lasting tools for resilience and growth.

I am a creative arts therapist, trained in Psychological Counseling, Expressive Therapy, and Music Therapy. I have been working with clients in different settings, including inpatient psychiatry, school, and private practice since 2003. I use music, the arts, talk therapies, and mindfulness practices to help my clients deal with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life transition, grief and loss. Through my empathetic and client-centered counseling programs, I will help you find inner growth, self-awareness, focus and structure in your life. Are you feeling down and depressed because of seemingly insurmountable challenges in your personal or work life? As a music therapist and licensed creative arts therapist, I can offer you a unique opportunity to transform your life through music and the arts in ways that will uplift and encourage you to overcome issues that are hampering your progress. I aim to build a safe and therapeutic space for you to explore your day-to-day life experiences, emotions, and thoughts through creative processes that will enable you to achieve your lifetime goals and establish structure, purpose, and contentment in your life. We will work together to develop mechanisms to cope with issues and bring about positive change. I am an in-network provider for Cigna and 1199SEIU
