Integrative Psychotherapy & Executive Care in NYC
As a licensed psychologist in New York, I provide psychotherapy and executive advisory services for adults and leaders in New York City and throughout New York State. Sessions are conducted virtually, offering confidential, depth-oriented care for individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and high-stress professional demands.
My NYC clients include professionals, physicians, executives, academics, creatives, and individuals seeking thoughtful, psychologically grounded support in a demanding urban environment.
Psychotherapy in NYC for Anxiety, Burnout & Complex Stress
Life in New York City often requires sustained performance under pressure. Many clients seek therapy for:
Anxiety and chronic stress
Depression and emotional fatigue
Burnout and decision overload
Trauma and attachment wounds
Professional identity strain
Grief and major life transitions
Existential and meaning-related concerns
My approach integrates psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic (mind–body) therapy, attachment theory, and mindfulness-based treatment. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, we examine the deeper emotional and physiological patterns shaping recurring stress and relational difficulty.
This is therapy for individuals who value depth, discretion, and psychological rigor.
Executive Psychology & Leadership Consultation in NYC
In addition to psychotherapy, I provide executive coaching and leadership advisory for CEOs, founders, healthcare leaders, and senior professionals in Manhattan and across New York.
This work focuses on:
Decision-making under pressure
Emotional intelligence and relational leadership
Burnout prevention
Nervous system regulation
Ethical and values-based leadership
As a psychologist, I bring clinical insight to performance and leadership dynamics—addressing underlying stress physiology and behavioral patterns rather than offering surface-level productivity strategies.
Mind–Body Therapy & Mindfulness-Based Treatment
Stress in NYC is not only cognitive; it is embodied. My work incorporates:
Somatic psychotherapy (Focusing, Hakomi)
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) principles
Interpersonal neurobiology
Contemplative psychology
Mindfulness is applied as a discipline of attention and regulation—not as a trend, but as a research-supported method for building resilience and clarity.
Online Therapy for Manhattan & New York State
I provide secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy for clients in:
Manhattan
Brooklyn
Westchester
Long Island
Upstate New York
Virtual psychotherapy allows high-responsibility professionals to access consistent, confidential care while maintaining demanding schedules.
A Confidential Process
Psychotherapy is a structured, reflective process designed to support lasting structural change. The aim is not rapid symptom suppression, but deeper psychological integration and sustained resilience.
