Heather Gage, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Heather!

I take a compassionate, client-centered approach, working collaboratively with you to understand your struggles and identify strategies that support your healing and personal growth.

My focus

I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, conflict, loss, parenting stress, postpartum issues, boundary setting, and addiction. I also support first responders and their families, treating mood and adjustment disorders while helping you navigate life transitions and build healthier coping strategies.

My approach

I create a supportive space where you feel heard and valued. I integrate CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to support healing, growth, and resilience.

My communication style

I create a warm, supportive space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. I'm compassionate, nonjudgmental, and easy to talk to, working with you to help you meet personal goals and make positive changes.

My journey to mental healthcare

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in care management and always felt like I wanted to do more—really talk with clients and help them dive deeper. It's rewarding to guide people through their struggles and watch them transform. Seeing the strength and resilience in my clients drives me to continue this work.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process, with you taking the lead on identifying what is most important.

Our first session

In your first session, expect a relaxed, conversational approach where we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and relevant background. I'll ask questions to understand your experiences, but there's no pressure—share at your own pace. The goal is creating a comfortable space where you feel heard and supported.
