When other people look at you, they think you have it all together, but inside you feel like an imposter barely keeping your head above water. You feel like something is missing. You’ve done everything right - getting the education, the job, and the accolades - but you’re not quite sure what it’s all been leading to. If you did everything right, why do you still feel so lost?
Does any of this sound like you?
"I constantly worry about things, even small things, and it's hard to stop feeling overwhelmed and on edge."
"I have trouble concentrating and focusing on tasks."
"I have a fear of something bad happening, even if I know it's unlikely.”
“I feel like people take advantage of me but I don’t know how to say no. I don’t know how to express my own needs to others without sounding demanding.”
“I feel like I can never disconnect from work or I’ll be seen as lazy or a failure. No matter how many boxes I keep checking off, I’m still not good enough.”
“It's a struggle to keep everything together and I’m just not sure I can do it anymore.”
“I’m just burned out.”
We’re here for you. You don’t have to do this work alone.
Together, we will create a life for you where you have confidence in every choice you make.
Therapy to help you achieve your goals
Living amidst the excitement of New York, it can be hard to find a center. You always feel that pressure to perform at a high level, to always be “on,” and to compete with everyone else as well as yourself. You’re always pursuing the next gold star, promotion, or opportunity because you’re constantly comparing yourself to others and feeling like an imposter. When you don’t feel perfect, you feel anxious and unfulfilled. Sometimes it makes you feel like life is happening to you and that you don’t have any control.
Taking care of yourself is not a luxury!
It’s essential in this fast-paced world. When you don’t, every part of your life suffers. Working with a professional, compassionate, results-focused therapist allows you to bring your best self to all aspects of your life. We are a team of expert therapists who really get you, who provide high-quality services on your schedule, and most importantly, who can deliver results.
It doesn’t have to be this hard. You deserve to be happy, successful, and fulfilled.
Our entire practice uses the same approach, which is a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to empower you to improve your well-being through personal growth and change. Psychodynamic therapy offers insight for growth by exploring past experiences and hidden influences, helping you gain self-awareness and fresh perspectives to navigate life's challenges. CBT equips you with the skills for change, like tools to identify and challenge negative thinking patterns. Together, your therapist will use the two approaches plus their own unique set of skills to help you build new and healthier habits for a more resilient you so that you can design a more fulfilling future.
Take the first step toward a purpose-filled life.

About the New York City Psychotherapy Collective
Success in therapy is built on a strong therapeutic relationship and partnership. 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.
The New York City Psychotherapy Collective is a group therapy practice located in New York City. Our therapists have varying specialties and focuses and are highly skilled at navigating the unique challenges that come with living in this fast-paced city.
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.
The common threads that run through our work are:
Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural human emotion that can serve a protective purpose in some situations and motivate us to pursue goals in others. However, when left unchecked, it can also keep us up at night, make us overthink every social interaction, and cause us to fixate on things beyond our control.
Therapy for anxiety can help you feel less overwhelmed, more relaxed, and more like yourself - the self you know you could be if all of the noise would just stop for a minute.
Relationships
Our relationships impact every part of our lives.
When we don’t feel connected or fulfilled in our relationships, everything else can feel like quicksand. Healthy relationships with ourselves and others are the foundation for success in every other area of our lives.
Therapy for relationships helps you build new bonds, rebuild strong connections that have faltered, and get back in sync with the people you care about.
Trauma
Whether it’s Big T TRAUMA or smaller traumatic experiences that stick with us throughout the years, painful experiences are part of life. Trauma can keep us stuck in the experience with no way to move on, but it doesn’t have to define who we are or how we live. Processing trauma doesn’t mean forgetting it or pretending it didn’t happen.
Therapy for trauma means working through the stuff that hurts, putting it in its rightful place, and moving forward into the future you deserve.
Imagine this:
You possess the skills to put yourself first without feeling guilty.
You feel empowered to be the very best you can be and ensure you are bringing your A-game to all situations.
You have better, more satisfying relationships.
You have reignited your life force, found direction, and feel like you’re moving forward and maximizing your potential.
You have stopped second-guessing your decisions and overthinking every interaction.
It doesn’t have to be a fantasy.
Start working with your therapist today and this can be exactly how you feel. Challenge those negative thoughts, set healthy boundaries, and take the first step towards a life of confidence, connection, and clarity.
Whatever challenge you are facing right now, there is a therapist who is the right fit for you at the New York City Psychotherapy Collective. We help you understand your past, take ownership of your present, and make positive steps toward your ideal future.
