Book a therapist or psychiatrist in New York covered by Aetna

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. I work with adults navigating substance use, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, life transitions and relationship challenges.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe in creating an environment where clients feel safe to show up and be authentically themselves. Being in the field for over 5 years, I know creating that space means being curious, constantly learning, and having multicultural awareness. We all encounter different experiences in life, making the human condition so complex. I hope we're able to navigate that together.

My passion is to help others achieve wellness. I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience. I currently work both inpatient and outpatient facilities within New York City. I specialize in the diagnoses and treatment of adults with a range of mental health issues.

I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, individual psychotherapy and medication management for adults. My goal is to explore each of my patient's situations and issues judiciously before arriving at appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.

My patients often say that I am approachable, personable, and respond quickly to emails/phone calls. I am accepting new patients.

Hey - I'm Mike and as you can see from my photo I like to keep things on the more casual side with my clients. I weave fun, jokes, and genuine questions about your personal life into our care plan. If you're looking for a Psychiatric provider who is all business - I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're looking to work with someone who is down to earth, and willing to go the extra mile to be your true partner and confidant on this journey, I'd love to meet you. As a lifelong New Yorker, I understand the unique pressures, pace, and complexity of life here — and I use that insight to offer care that actually fits your world.

When life changes, you need someone who’s lived it too.

I help adults navigating major life transitions — including divorce, grey divorce, identity shifts, dating and relationship challenges. Together we find clarity, steadiness, and a grounded sense of self again.

Life can shift in ways you never expected. I understand the disorientation that comes with midlife change, including divorce, evolving relationships, and moments where you suddenly wonder how you got here. I do this work because no one should have to sort through those moments alone.

I’ve rebuilt my identity, navigated changing relationships, and learned how to move forward when everything felt uncertain.

Are you at the end of the road where you don’t have anyone to turn to for help? Have you exhausted all tools and is facing infidelity, depression and anxiety and you are looking to improve your mental health and repair your marriage ? Well you have found the right place! I’m hear to listen to you without prejudgments. Let’s work this out together !

I firmly believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, like you are losing control, becoming easily frustrated and moody or having difficulty relaxing or quieting your mind? Are you finding yourself feeling unsure of how to deal with the increased anxiety, uncertainty, and isolation this pandemic brought? I am here to help you to improve your mood, build new coping skills, discover your meaningful life goals and gain confidence to improve many aspects of your life.

I have experience working with individuals and couples from a wide variety of backgrounds. I received my M.S. Ed. in Mental Health Counseling from the Hunter College School of Education, as well as advanced education certificates from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. There I completed two-year programs in the Family and Couples Treatment Services division and the Integrated Trauma Program of ICP's Trauma Studies Center.

As a doctor in clinical psychology, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapeutic support for people navigating complex emotional, psychological, and relationship challenges. Whether you are managing a long-standing mental health condition or facing sudden life stressors, I offer a dedicated, collaborative space focused on your healing and growth. I have expertise in treating anxiety, panic disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), as well as trauma and chronic stress. Additionally, my specialty centers on severe and persistent conditions, including mood disorders, Schizophrenia and the psychosis spectrum, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), and eating disorders. I also specialize in offering care for unique or unexplainable mental health experiences. Additionally, I partner with individuals and couples to heal relationships, improve communication, and overcome social isolation. My approach integrates proven clinical modalities with deep empathy, meeting you exactly where you are to build sustainable coping tools and create lasting, meaningful change.

Hello, my name is Matthew Cosentino and I'm a licensed mental health counselor. I've worked with clients of all backgrounds and with various reasons that brought them to counseling. I know first hand what it's like to go through things like anxiety and depression and I specialize in working with people facing those challenges. I believe that even during life's most difficult seasons, there is hope ahead. I strive to help clients find the light at the end of the tunnel and build the tools needed to move toward a brighter future.

I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel comfortable talking openly, even when life feels overwhelming. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
