OUR STAFF

Heather Paley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been providing therapy and counseling services to clients at Therapy Center of New York (TCNY) since 2006. With nearly two decades supporting TCNY clients, she brings experienced, dependable care to adults and couples.

She works with adults 18 and older and with couples, offering talk therapy for a range of concerns. Her areas of experience include ADHD, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, stress, self-esteem, eating disorders, grief, conflict resolution, career guidance and transitions, handling difficult people, and pre-marriage counseling.

Heather draws on behavioral therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychoanalytic psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and supportive psychotherapy. This blend lets her offer both practical, skills-based strategies and deeper exploratory work, depending on what each client is looking for. For couples, she provides a supportive space to improve communication, navigate conflict and strengthen their relationship.

Her training includes a Master of Social Work from Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine and an undergraduate degree from Northeastern University. Post-graduation, she completed a 2-year psychodynamic psychotherapy program at The New York Freudian Society. Heather's long tenure, experience, and trustworthy presence are qualities that matter when choosing a therapist. Care is available to adults across New York in person and through secure telehealth, supporting consistent sessions. Prospective clients can contact the TCNY administrative team to confirm her current availability, the concerns she is accepting, and insurance and scheduling details.
