This page lists Female Counsellors in New York. 17 in all.
That is 17 of the 21 counsellors listed in New York.
These are practitioners who identify as female on their profile 1. We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer. We do not check it.
This list answers an explicit request for a woman.
A client and a practitioner always differ; what matters is what that means to you and how you work with it 2. You can filter the same list by the languages a practitioner works in.
What a counsellor does, and how counselling differs from psychotherapy
Everyone on this page describes their work as counselling. A counsellor listens and helps you find your own solutions to problems.
The training emphasises the conversation itself. Sessions usually stay close to something happening now: a loss, a relationship, work, a decision. That focus is what most often separates counselling from longer psychotherapy.
A counsellor is not a medical doctor and does not prescribe. Ask a counsellor what they work with, and for how long.
What this page filters on
Everyone on this list gave counsellor as their professional title and described themselves as female. Nothing else narrows the list.
The New York page answers more questions about therapy there.
