Simona Ostrow, LMHC

Simona Ostrow is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and mood-related concerns, and she supports clients navigating career challenges and major life changes. Her background includes helping individuals with learning differences, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and developmental or physical disabilities, alongside a broad range of issues such as chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, relationship and communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Simona approaches each person as the expert of their own story, building on existing strengths to address what is most challenging in day-to-day life. She integrates practical strategies and skill-building to help clients manage symptoms and move toward meaningful goals, while attending to emotional needs like forgiveness, self-love, and recovery from trauma. Women’s concerns, social anxiety, workplace struggles, and coping with mood disorders are also areas of focused support.

Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Simona honors that choice. She generally checks messages a few times per day Monday through Thursday and responds as promptly as she can, asking for patience when response times are affected by other client work or professional and personal responsibilities. Her license is NY LMHC 002190.
