ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in New York

I am an LCSW who loves working with children, teens, parents, and individuals in the LGBTQ+ community.

My work is shaped not just by my training, but by my lived experience. I was once a queer kid with ADHD, so I understand how complicated it can feel to navigate identity, relationships, and mental health, especially when you don’t always feel like you fit in. Because of that, I really value creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel understood.

My name is Elizabeth (or Liz) and I am looking forward to meeting with you. I was born and raised in New York, growing up in Queens and Long Island and living for several years in the Hudson Valley. I went to college at SUNY New Paltz (upstate New York) and graduate school at Columbia University (New York City). Just like my experiences growing up and living in the city, countryside and suburban towns, I have a lot of experience working with both adults and children ranging from traumatic experiences, to challenging decisions. I have worked in community, inpatient, outpatient and hospital settings.

I am an LCSW and specialize in infertility, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-confidence, coping skills and stress/anger management, and life transitions. Having had my own journey in building a family, I understand the unexpected challenges (i.e. pregnancy loss, fertility preservation, third-party reproduction and ART), as well as the transition to parenthood. In addition, I provide consultations for intended patents, and evaluations for gestational carriers and egg/sperm donors.

I am a womanist art therapist who supports clients in exploring their stories through creative expression. My approach encourages growth, self-awareness, and healing in relation to culture, identity, and the systems that shape our lives. I work from a strength based, culturally responisve lens, holding space for individuals adn communities to be seen, heard, and affirmed. Through the creative process, I help clients navigate life transitions, trauma, anxiety, and identity development while fostering resilience and collective care.

I value connection and trust. While I aim to provide a safe & encouraging space to share your narrative I also provide feedback & remain engaged in conversation throughout session. I ask that you keep an open mind & give yourself the grace & patience we all deserve throughout this journey.

Taking care of our minds is essential to living healthy, fulfilling lives. Together we can decide what a healthy mind means to you. No man is an island, I am here to help. I look forward to meeting you.
