Couples therapists in New York

Ari Gabin is an LCSW who mentors his clients while staying ever cautious to their unique needs. It is a process that he has successfully mastered during his interactions with a culturally diverse population. In a therapeutic partnership, he uses strategies that enhance resilience and fortitude to help clients offset the turbulent times that plague the fibers of happiness.

His therapy style is warm, engaging, interactive, and collaborative. Each session is tailored to the client and treatment is based on individual needs. Each client is unique and requires a tailor-made treatment plan to help them reach their goal. He uses a myriad of theory and techniques, including CBT, DBT, interpersonal process therapy, emotion-focused therapy, existential therapy, crisis intervention, mindfulness, narrative therapy, psychodynamic theory, psychoeducation, and solution-focused therapy (among other modalities).

Specialties:

working with individuals, couples, children and families, including adolescents and adults suffering from depression, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma/abuse, divorce, family conflict, relationship issues, self-harm, suicidal ideations, and grief.

I work with both adults & adolescents who are navigating stressful situations, life transitions, anxiety & emotional challenges. I also specialize in supporting prenatal/postpartum moms experiencing anxiety & depression. My approach is relatable & empathetic, creating a safe space where clients feel understood, and empowered as they work toward improving their current issues. I strive to help client's enhance their self esteem, improve self expression & communication styles, learn effective coping skills, conflict resolution and behavioral changes.

I have a particular passion for working with men, especially guys in their 20s and 30s. A lot of the young men I see are dealing with something the research is only now catching up to — an erosion of in-person connection, a sense of drift, and a shortage of spaces where they can actually say what's going on. I'm genuinely excited and motivated by this work because I believe this generation of men needs — and deserves — real support. That said, I also welcome clients navigating anxiety, discouragement, depression, workplace stress, relationship dynamics, and life transitions of all kinds.

I'm a Brooklyn-bred Psychotherapist and earned my LCSW in 2009. I previously worked in the corporate world, and understand pressure, ambition, career transitions, and what it feels like when the thing you've built your identity around stops fitting. Since becoming a therapist, I've worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, substance abuse treatment, and psych rehab before settling into a private practice where I'm focused on the work I care most about.

My passion is helping people navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions across the lifespan. I support those facing challenges in young adulthood, work stress, self-confidence struggles, impostor syndrome, relationship and family conflict, parenting, retirement, and the search for meaning at every stage of life. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

You’re successful on the outside—but inside, something still feels stuck. You’ve done the work. You understand your patterns. You know what should help. And yet, anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, or old emotional loops keep showing up. It can feel frustrating, even discouraging, to have so much insight but still feel like you can’t fully shift.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning, self-aware individuals who feel caught in what I call a “mental and nervous system loop”—where insight alone isn’t enough to create real, lasting change.

This is where our work begins.

I’m a clinical psychologist who believes that therapy should feel like a place where you can be yourself, feel genuinely heard, and talk openly about what’s going on in your life without judgment. I’ve spent my career working with adults from many different backgrounds who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, health concerns, and major life changes.

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress and worry? Is every day filled with anxiety or sadness? Perhaps you lack confidence and struggle with self-esteem issues? Has Covid perhaps made you feel even more that you are not in control of your life? Is all of this making it harder and harder to cope with everyday life? I know what it means to get to a place where you can have peace, self-acceptance and contentment, where you can find meaning and happiness in your life, whatever you decide to accomplish.

I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families, teens and the elderly. Using many practices that have been proven to work, including mindfulness and meditation, we will work together to help you accomplish your personal and professional goals.

Being human means struggling sometimes, and being human means finding the ability to go beyond our struggles. By working together, we will help you learn new skills and use your own wisdom to reach your goals and build greater self-awareness and self-empowerment, overcome depression, anxiety, stress and self-worth issues, and live a fuller and happier life.

What if you had the time and space to understand the root of your inner self-critic and feelings of guilt? What if you could understand how it shows up in your emotional response, ability to be confident, and how you connect in relationships? I bring compassion and curiosity to create this time and space for you. Together we work to understand all aspects of who you are, how it contributes to feelings of anxiety and depression, and guide you to live with a natural feeling of confidence in yourself.

life issues are like scars that healed all infected (I know what an opener but stay with me). They can be emotional, physical, spiritual, psychological or all the above. With trust & time it can be cleaned. That journey is not easy, but scars become beauty marks. A testament of what could have ended you but didn't. My background is colorful w/ 10+years.I have experience in a little of everything. The journey to seek help is not easy. I'm proud of you. Oh, and remember BROKEN CRAYONS STILL COLOR!

I am an experienced Clinical Social Worker and Registered Yoga Teacher. My approach is down to earth, respectful, and compassionate. Clients I've worked with have ranged broadly in age, ethnicity, and gender identity.

Therapy should be a space where you feel truly seen and understood. Many people find that traditional talk therapy stays at the surface, focused on venting rather than real change. But lasting growth comes from exploring the deeper patterns behind your emotions and behaviors. These often stem from past experiences and shape how you see yourself and relate to others. In our sessions, I create a safe, collaborative space to uncover and work through what’s holding you back so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.
