Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially in NYC where there are so many options. At Therapists of New York, we simplify the process by starting with a free consultation with one of our senior psychologists, who are familiar with every clinician on our team. We take time to understand your goals, preferences, and concerns, then personally match you with the therapist who is the best fit for your needs and personality.

We offer individual therapy, couples and relationship therapy, family therapy, group therapy, coaching, and psychological assessment. Our clinicians work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, work stress, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, grief, identity exploration, and life transitions.
