  • Focus on Client Needs: We emphasize understanding a client's past, present, and future goals to create a personalized treatment plan, not just labeling with a diagnosis just for the sake of it. Success in therapy is built on a strong therapeutic relationship and partnership, so clients’ voices are always centered in the process. 

  • Accessibility: We offer online therapy throughout New York City and State, creating a more comfortable environment for clients to seek therapy from the places they feel most at ease. You’re busy. We get that. We offer convenient online therapy throughout New York City and State. All you need is a quiet space and an internet connection. Our platforms are completely secure, HIPAA compliant, and easy to access from anywhere, including laptops, phones, and tablets.

  • Specialized Approach:  We were founded on the principle of combining two main therapy modalities: Psychodynamic Therapy (more reflective about the origins of your habits and mindsets) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (also known as CBT - more action-oriented work). This combination involves a more open-ended approach to discussing past and present experiences and emotions and working on how to change them for the better. 

  • Convenience: We offer online therapy throughout New York City and State, eliminating the need for sweaty commutes, awkward waiting rooms, and washing your face in a public bathroom after you’ve cried. Just expert support to meet you wherever you are, from the comfort of your home, office, or any other private space you have access to. Being a busy professional means that you don't always have time to get to an office for therapy, so we bring the office to you, virtually.

  • Experts in the Field: We're professionally licensed therapists who know how important it is to succeed in your career while also feeling like you're living an authentic and meaningful life. Since we began our work as therapists, we've worked with clients for over 75,000 hours combined, and that number climbs every day. When we say we understand all of the ways anxiety and stress about your professional life can show up for you, we really mean it.

  • Personalized Matching: We prioritize finding the right therapist for each client, going beyond impersonal algorithms and using our knowledge of each therapist to create a good fit. Feeling like your therapist understands you, knows how to help you, and has your back is essential to getting the most out of your work together. Whether you're a business owner, an entrepreneur wearing multiple hats every day, or a high performing professional, we make sure that your therapist understands your unique challenges.

Why work with us


Most common reasons why people start therapy for entrepreneurs & young professionals

Career Transitions and Uncertainty

Whether you're launching a startup, changing industries, or building new skills to step into a leadership role in your existing job, career transitions can trigger anxiety and self-doubt. Entrepreneur therapy provides a space to process these changes, develop confidence in decision-making, and align your professional choices with your values and long-term goals.

Burnout and Work-Life Balance

The demands of entrepreneurship and high-pressure careers can lead to exhaustion, decreased motivation, and strained personal relationships. Therapy helps you develop the ability to recognize early signs of burnout, establish sustainable boundaries, and create routines that support both physical and mental wellbeing.

Navigating Multiple Roles as a Professional Woman

Professional women often face unique challenges in balancing high-powered careers with family responsibilities, societal expectations, and personal aspirations. Therapy provides support in managing the emotional labor of these multiple roles, addressing guilt and perfectionism, and creating strategies to thrive in both professional and family life while maintaining self-care.

Imposter Syndrome

Feeling like a fraud despite your achievements is common among high achievers. Talk therapy's benefit includes helping you understand the roots of these feelings, challenging self-defeating thoughts, and developing authentic confidence in your abilities and accomplishments.

Leadership and Relationship Challenges

Managing teams, handling difficult conversations, and navigating workplace dynamics require strong emotional intelligence. Therapy provides tools for improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, and developing your leadership style while maintaining professional relationships.

Performance Anxiety and Decision Fatigue

The pressure to consistently perform at high levels while making crucial business or career decisions can be overwhelming, leading to high blood pressure, sleepless nights, and various mental health conditions. Therapy offers strategies for managing anxiety, improving focus, and making decisions with greater clarity and confidence.

Identity and Purpose

Success in your career might not bring the fulfillment you expected, leading to questions about your purpose and identity beyond work. Therapy helps you explore these deeper questions, reconnect with your values, and create meaning in both professional and personal spheres.


When another practice might be a better fit for your needs

  • You Need Immediate Crisis Support

    • While we specialize in helping professionals navigate workplace challenges and career-related stress during scheduled business hours, we aren't equipped for emergency mental health crises. If you're experiencing severe mental health issues requiring immediate intervention, we'll help connect you with appropriate crisis services and resources.

  • You're Seeking Quick-Fix Solutions

    • Professional challenges often have complex roots that require time to understand and address effectively. While we'll help you develop immediate workplace coping strategies, our approach focuses on creating sustainable, long-term professional success rather than temporary fixes. If you're looking for brief interventions only, another practice might better suit your needs.

  • You're Looking for Medication Management

    • Though we collaborate closely with psychiatrists and primary care providers, we focus exclusively on therapy and professional development. If you're specifically seeking medication management, we can recommend trusted providers while working together on professional growth and emotional intelligence strategies.

  • You're Unable to Commit to Regular Sessions

    • We understand the demands of professional life can make scheduling challenging. However, our approach works best when you can commit to consistent sessions. If your current work schedule or travel demands make regular attendance impossible, you might benefit from a more flexible care arrangement.

  • You Want a Single-Method Approach

    • Our practice combines proven business psychology with various therapeutic techniques to address workplace challenges comprehensively. We customize our approach based on your professional needs and goals. If you're seeking a strictly manual-based or single-method treatment, another practice might be a better match.

  • You Need Intensive Support

    • If your situation requires multiple sessions per week or intensive daily support, we can help connect you with excellent intensive outpatient programs better suited to provide that level of care while maintaining your professional commitments.
