Therapist

What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • New York, NY


Creativity and mental health are deeply connected, and I've built my career at that intersection. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, a Distinguished Graduate of NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing, and adjunct faculty there today.

I'm also a working standup comedian who has performed at Gotham Comedy Club and New York Comedy Club, so I know firsthand the pressure, rejection, unpredictable schedules, and big highs and lows that come with a creative life.

In 2014 I founded MetroNP, a boutique psychiatric practice in Manhattan's Gramercy/Flatiron neighborhood designed specifically for creative people. Our clients include artists, designers, actors, writers, students, and members of the LGBTQI+ community, people who want a provider who truly gets their world

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • New York, NY


Hey there! I hope you will not hang out with me for a long time. I am here to evaluate your challenge and suggest a way out of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and such. Therapy must be short and effective, not a drag.

I offer:

  • Short-term holistic therapy. It means we look at your lifestyle and mainly: what you think, what you believe in, if you are physically active, if you eat junk, drink sodas and alcohol, if you watch junk, and how you dress. Your posture matter as well. All of these are pillars of your success for your mental health.

If you need diagnostic evals for your schools and work:

  • Borderline Personality Disorder evaluations
  • ADHD & Autism evaluations

If you think you are super strange and have nobody to talk to about your UFO abductions and psychic visits- you are at the right place.

I offer clinically rooted and evidence based sessions

  • Support for dissociation , UFO dreams, out-of-body experiences and all that cool staff.
  • ESA psychiatric evaluations for qualified NYC clients

I hold a degree in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University School of Social Work and am a licensed psychotherapist in New York City.

I have always been oriented towards uplifting others and creating space for others to be seen and heard. I received my MSW in 1997 and my training has centered around trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and mindfulness.

In the over 25 years that I have been a social worker, I specialized in foster care, adoption, and family systems. This has translated to a private practice that involves work with those experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, and loss.

Denis Eder

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Staten Island, NY


I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.

Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.

Virtual & in-person • Carmel Hamlet, NY


Life moves fast, and it is so easy to wake up and realize you are running on everyone else's schedule instead of your own. Do you ever feel completely scattered, wondering what happened to the vibrant person you used to be? I get it. Navigating the beautiful, messy chaos of a growing family and the relentless pressure to "juggle it all" is no joke. That exact season of life is what drove me to dive headfirst into specialized training in women's mental health. As a licensed counselor since 2017 holding a diagnostic license, I am fiercely passionate about being the anchor—and the support system—I wish I’d had. Whether you're navigating motherhood, identity shifts, or a major life transition, we’ll work together to help you step back into your power and find your footing again.
