For the people who hold a lot together at work and need somewhere to actually put it down.

We understand

We get what professionals and executives are carrying

The hours are long, the decisions are high-stakes, and the phone never really goes quiet. From the outside it looks like you've got it handled, but the pressure to keep performing can leave you anxious, exhausted, or unable to switch off at night. A lot of accomplished people also carry a quiet worry that asking for help means admitting weakness. It doesn't, and you don't have to keep doing this alone.

What professionals and executives bring to therapy

People in demanding careers often come in with stress that has become a way of life: work that follows them home, trouble clocking out mentally, and little time left for family, friends, or themselves. Others are facing a career change or a new level of responsibility and want a place to think it through.

Remote work adds its own strain, including isolation, blurred boundaries, and routines that disappear. Our article on the hidden mental health costs of remote work looks at these, and our page on work-life balance describes how we help people set boundaries and manage stress.

How we work

Therapy is shaped around what you want from it. Our clinicians draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, practical when you want tools for stress and decisions, and slower when something deeper needs attention.

When a concern needs closer attention, we connect it to support for anxiety, depression, assertiveness, or life transitions, such as a career change.

How we work

What to expect

Several of our clinicians work regularly with professionals and executives, and we'll match you with one who fits what you're dealing with. You can meet in person at our Upper West Side office, across from Central Park, or online anywhere in New York and New Jersey.

The first session is mostly you talking through what is going on, in your own words, with no need to arrive with an agenda. We can also explain insurance and fees before you start.
