Hello, I’m Vincent. I am a Licensed Psychoanalyst/Psychotherapist (LP) with a private practice in Manhattan, offering both in-person and telehealth sessions. I bring my own lived experiences and cultural attunement into the room to build a deeply trusting and authentic therapeutic alliance with my clients.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental presence. I work collaboratively and at a reflective pace, creating a space where you can explore emotions and creativity without pressure to perform or “get it right.” Music is always an invitation, not a requirement. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more connected to yourself.
If this is your first time seeking therapy, or if you have been in therapy before you are welcome here.
I have years of clinical experience specializing in Trauma, Relationship Issues, as well as individuals with ADD/ADHD and individuals with Asperger's Syndrome. In addition to having a master's degree in Art Therapy from Pratt Institute, I have postgraduate training in Psychodynamic-Psychoanalytical Therapy, working with children and teens. Dance/Movement Therapy, and Drs. John and Julie Gottman Method. I have years of experience utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York State, practicing out of New York City. I work with adolescents and adults who experience a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, the after-effects of trauma, overthinking, procrastination, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and challenges related to identity and values. I also specialize in working with family members of individuals who suffer from severe mental illness.
I've worked successfully with race-and class-diverse, LGBT and straight clients from teens to seniors. Many are new to NYC or in other life transitions. Clients come with anxiety, identity issues, relationship or work problems, trouble managing anger...My style is warm yet analytical, and interactive. I encourage laughter! I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully--and joyfully.
Hello, I’m Sydney Lerner, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. I offer therapy in Midtown Manhattan and virtually across the state. I work with teens and young adults navigating OCD, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and family dynamics. My approach is relational and psychodynamic, exploring how past and present relationships shape emotions and patterns. For clients who have completed OCD treatment in the past, I also integrate ERP knowledge to support long-term growth. I earned my BA from Johns Hopkins, my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern, and completed a year-long psychodynamic training at the National Institute of the Psychotherapies.
I have extensive experience working with people of all ages in the creative fields, young adults lost at a crossroad in their life.
I am a New York state and New Jersey state licensed clinical psychologist. I received my doctorate in psychology from Long Island University-Post. I completed an APA accredited internship from Mt. Sinai Services-Elmhurst Hospital Center. I received postdoctoral training from New York University Counseling and Wellness Services. I specialize in working with adults with concerns regarding career, relationships, life transitions, identity, anxiety, eating disorder/body image, and grief/loss.
I love counseling – both giving and receiving. For over 40 years, I have helped adoptive families utilizing my law and counseling degrees.
The counseling aspect spans a wide range of populations, including tweens, seniors, singles, couples, and multiple family members.
I met my wife at graduate school while working on my Master’s in Social Work, and we have since adopted three children.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Great Neck, NY
Searching for therapists in Great Neck starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. People may look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life changes, work stress, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Great Neck is close to Port Washington, Manhasset, and Queens, but local in-person options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York City. Virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care tied to a therapist licensed in New York. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Great Neck can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage, review estimated costs, and compare availability before booking. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
