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

We understand
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.
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.
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
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.
questions and answers
No. Burnout is one reason people come in, but not the only one. You can start because you want more room to think, because a decision is weighing on you, or because stress has quietly become your normal.
It depends on what you are working on, and we do not require a set number of sessions. Many people stay for about a year, but it can be more or less, and you and your therapist can review how it is going along the way.
Yes. Changing careers or beginning a new job can be stressful, and our life transitions therapy helps people manage that stress and build confidence in a new role.
Your therapist may be a good fit if you feel comfortable talking to them and you feel seen, heard, and listened to, with mutual respect between you. If you feel a connection, chances are it is a good fit, and we will do our best to connect you with the right therapist.
