Find a Therapist in Scarsdale Park, NY

Here to help.

I work with adults and couples who are thoughtful, capable, and often accustomed to handling life well, but have reached a point where their usual ways of coping no longer seem to be working. They may feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of what they want, or they may find themselves repeating patterns in their relationships or work that they don’t fully understand. I also work with people navigating major transitions such as divorce, parenting, career changes, loss, questions of purpose, and the complicated process of figuring out what comes next. My approach is psychodynamic, direct, and deeply curious about what is happening beneath the surface. I help clients understand not only what they are struggling with, but why they respond to life and relationships in the ways they do. Together, we explore patterns, defenses, fears, expectations, and the stories people develop about themselves and others. I value openness and honesty in the therapeutic relationship, and I’m comfortable saying what I see when I think something may be important for a client to consider, even when it may be difficult to hear. At the same time, I want clients to feel that they can bring anything into the room without fear of judgment. My style is warm, engaged, and conversational, and I often use humor and playfulness to bring some lightness to difficult conversations and reduce shame around things that can feel hard to talk about. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New York with extensive experience working with individuals and couples. My work draws from psychodynamic, attachment, relational, and differentiation-oriented approaches. I provide psychotherapy through my private practice, The Mindful Map Mental Health Counseling, PLLC, based in New York City. I offer therapy exclusively through secure virtual sessions to clients throughout New York State. My practice is private pay, with superbills provided for clients seeking possible out-of-network insurance reimbursement.

Many of my clients are executives, physicians, attorneys, entrepreneurs, military members, veterans, first responders, and other driven professionals who appear successful outwardly but feel overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, or “off.” As a board-certified clinical psychologist, I provide focused, evidence-based therapy tailored to high achievers. Together we clarify what’s driving stress, build practical tools for resilience and emotional regulation, and create measurable progress toward your goals. I also provide comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessment, including ADHD and cognitive evaluations, leadership and executive assessment, psychovocational evaluation, and FAA aeromedical (Tier 2) evaluations. The goal is not to dull your edge — it’s to sharpen it sustainably. If you’re ready for structured, high-level psychological care designed for people who operate under pressure, reach out to schedule a consultation.

In-person evening or weekend therapy available in Scarsdale, White Plains, and Mahopac. I help couples and adults work through relationship conflict, emotional distance, sexual concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), alcohol-related concerns, men’s issues, and patterns that keep repeating. Some people come in with a partner. Others come in alone because mood, drinking, trauma, anger, avoidance, or relationship stress is affecting the life they want. My work is practical, direct, and focused on understanding what gets stuck, so we can work on what needs to change.

Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling disconnected? At Acheron Psychiatry, we provide comprehensive, integrative mental health care to help you regain clarity, resilience, and well-being. We recognize that healing is not one-size-fits-all, which is why we offer a range of evidence-based treatments, from conventional psychiatry to innovative approaches like Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Our approach blends psychedelic-assisted therapy, depth-oriented psychotherapy, and medication management to support individuals seeking lasting transformation. Whether you need help with navigating past trauma or addressing cognitive challenges, we work collaboratively to create a treatment plan that aligns with your personal goals. Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you're ready to explore new paths toward growth and self-discovery, we’re here to guide you. Let’s work together to help you reconnect with your most authentic self.

I specialize in helping individuals overcome gambling problems, alcohol use, substance use, and the emotional challenges that often accompany them, including anxiety, depression, stress, shame, and relationship difficulties. My approach to therapy is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful and lasting change. Drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and relapse prevention, I help clients understand the patterns that keep them stuck, strengthen their motivation for change, and develop healthier ways of coping with life's challenges. I believe that for therapy to be effective, people often need to work through the obstacles that are preventing them from moving forward. In my experience, these barriers are frequently rooted in fear, shame, or pride. Whether it is fear of change, shame about past mistakes, or pride that makes it difficult to ask for help or be vulnerable, these obstacles can keep people trapped in unhealthy cycles. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to identify what is holding you back and help you develop the strength, confidence, and willingness to do the things that may feel difficult or uncomfortable. Recovery and personal growth often require stepping outside of your comfort zone, but you do not have to do it alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can gain insight, build practical skills, and take meaningful action toward a healthier, more fulfilling, and purpose-driven life.

Maybe you’re used to looking like you have it together, while internally you’re overthinking everything. You replay conversations, second-guess your decisions, worry about how others see you, or feel overwhelmed by emotions that are hard to shut off. You might be navigating relationship challenges, a major life transition, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure of what you actually want. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, and I work with young adults and adults who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that keep showing up in their lives. Together, we’ll get curious about what’s underneath those patterns, not just focus on making the uncomfortable feelings go away. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I draw from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and other evidence-based approaches, while also making space for deeper exploration and meaningful change. Therapy with me is a place where you can show up as you are. I’ll meet you with compassion, ask thoughtful questions, gently challenge you when it’s helpful, , when appropriate, bring some humor into the room, too.

I believe growth is not always comfortable, and difficulty does not automatically mean something is wrong. In therapy, I help clients become curious about the patterns, fears, beliefs, and old roles that may be keeping them stuck. Sometimes the obstacle is not a sign to turn around—it is the place where the deeper work begins. We may explore the boundary you are afraid to set, the grief you have postponed, the truth you have softened, the relationship pattern that keeps repeating, or the part of you that still confuses familiarity with safety. I used to think of transformation as the butterfly—the beautiful ending, the freedom, the moment when everything finally makes sense. But transformation is often the part before that. It is the cocoon. It is the dark, uncomfortable, sometimes messy work of making sense of our fortunes and misfortunes, our desires and doubts, our losses, fears, and old ways of surviving. Real change may ask us to sit with discomfort before we feel relief. To grieve what we are leaving behind before we know what comes next. To question beliefs we have carried for years and recognize that what once protected us may now be limiting us. My approach is collaborative, reflective, and practical. I help clients understand where their patterns came from, what those patterns once protected them from, and whether they are still serving them now. The goal is not to force change or pretend healing is easy. It is to help you move through the uncomfortable places with greater awareness, self-trust, and intention—so you can become the person you are ready to become and build a life based on what you choose, rather than only on what you learned to survive.

If social anxiety has been holding you back from living the life you want, whether it's speaking up at work, forming meaningful connections, or simply feeling comfortable in everyday social situations, I'm here to help you move forward with confidence. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC) with an M.Ed., I specialize in helping adults overcome social anxiety using evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and exposure and response prevention (ERP). These proven methods provide practical tools and strategies that create real, lasting change. My educational background includes training from New York University (NYU), the University of Southern California (USC), and the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, where I developed a strong foundation in behavioral therapies that actually work. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to face your fears at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we'll work to understand the thoughts and patterns that fuel your anxiety, develop concrete skills to manage difficult emotions, and build your confidence through carefully planned exposures. My approach is warm and compassionate, while also being structured and action-oriented, because I know that real change comes from both insight and practice.

My approach is the product of over a decade of experience working collaboratively with clients in an environment of non-judgement. I believe in taking an introspective and collaborative approach when working with adults and adolescents. I believe this kind of treatment approach allows the patients to recognize their own ability to heal based on their own experiences and judgement. Every day we bear the burden of deep emotional wounds and pain that can often cause us to become disillusioned with ourselves, others and the world at large. Avoiding these struggles is a natural way of coping for most of us. But despite the temporary relief it brings, coping in this way often maintains unhealthy and irrational beliefs, negative feelings, and unproductive, or even destructive, behaviors. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the healing factor and work to be authentic, transparent as well as professional. By providing a safe, supportive and compassionate environment, my clients can find the strength to explore and process their issues without judgement, being stigmatized or pathologized. Encouraging and empowering clients to turn towards and explore these areas of difficulty in their lives can lead to lasting change and new ways to relate to themselves, others and the world.

From a heartfelt place, I mirror back each person's beauty and potential. With intention, attention, skill and humor, I facilitate the process that allows each person to become more of her/his authentic self and to manifest that self into the world.
