When it comes to finding the right therapist, the factors that play into your decision extend beyond the baseline of scheduling availability. It is also far from a “one-size-fits-all” model to encompass the variability of practice in the field. According to the New York State Office of the Professions, there were 7,438 active licensed mental health professionals in 2021.

In fact, these therapists span through types of therapy they practice and theories they employ, concentrated specialties that they have more training and/or expertise in, modality of administering therapy (as teletherapy has since exploded on the scene post-pandemic), and degrees they hold titling psychologists, marriage and family therapists, mental health counselors, and social workers, among others.

The 2020 US Census reported that New York City was the most populated city in the country, with approximately 8.5 million people packed into the five boroughs.

When anger is present, it has a wide range of effects. Our hearts beat faster, our minds may not think straight, and we may be saying and doing things before we even know it (or at least it feels that way).

In addition to things we cannot observe with our own eyes, anger also affects things we do. Our behavior when we’re mad differs from when we’re calm. People sometimes drink when they’re angry. Overeating, yelling, throwing things, skipping work, or just sitting and fuming are all common behaviors.

Learning skills to manage our anger and not become controlled by anger is essential. Almost every aspect of our lives becomes affected when anger gets out of control, affecting our personal lives, careers, and relationships with others.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, meaning the onset of ADHD occurs in childhood, although diagnosis can occur at any age. The symptoms of ADHD are characterized by a consistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity or both.

If you are looking for treatment for ADHD for yourself or your child, it is important to first consider what type of treatment you are looking for. Pediatricians are often very familiar with working with children with ADHD and can be a good place to start. If you are curious about medication, you will want to schedule an appointment with a Psychiatrist or Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.

These are the professionals who are able to prescribe and manage medication. If you are looking for behavioral psychotherapy as a means of treating ADHD, you will want to look for therapists who specialize in behavioral therapy, and have experience working with ADHD.
