Anxiety Therapy in NYC

Anxiety Therapy is a mental health wellness service provided by a licensed clinician in New York State. During this type of care, you can expect to connect with your provider around the things that bring up anxiety, the history of these feelings and new strategies to manage the feelings and get your life to a place of calm sustainability.

Technically, there is no such thing as a licensed anxiety therapist. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Practitioner of the Healing Arts in New York State. Similar to a PhD Psychologist or Psychiatrist, a Clinical Social Worker is a highly trained mental health clinician with the ability to diagnose and treat mental health conditions in individuals and groups.

I help people understand and overcome the symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder, Health Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Agoraphobia, Specific Phobias, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and C-PTSD and Acute Stress Disorder.

Yes! We offer both phone and video sessions to optimize the convenience for our busy and often international NYC clients.

I take an integrative approach to mental health in that I integrate several evidence-based psychotherapy modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR and Somatic Processing, Polyvagal theory, art therapy, talk therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and more! Schedule a consult to learn more about what this will feel like.

The duration of anxiety therapy in Brooklyn depends on multiple factors. My clients tend to make significant progress within three months of weekly therapy, often escaping survival mode and starting to take better care of themselves and set healthy boundaries. Continued work builds upon the strong foundation established, resulting in major life shifts at the six month, one year and 18 month marks. Some clients choose to remain in therapy long-term to maintain wellness and prevent a relapse in wellness. Others return to therapy when a new challenge arises that could benefit from highly attuned counseling and coaching. You are in charge of your treatment and my goal is not to keep you in therapy forever! Our work will be assessing room for growth, building self-confidence to make decisions you feel good about all on your own.

During your first appointment, we will be meeting by video or phone for approximately 60 minutes. We will discuss what has been causing your anxiety, stress or panic, build our working relationship and set some initial therapy goals for helping you feel more grounded ASAP.

We are not currently in network with any insurance plans though we do provide discreet superbills to submit to your insurance provider if you have Out Of Network benefits. We can discuss this further on our consultation call. Our first session together will last 60 minutes and cost $275. Follow-up sessions will last ~45 minutes, costing $250. Lengthier sessions are available for EMDR and personal preference. These 90 minute sessions are offered at the fee of $350.

Anxiety therapy sessions in New York are available weekday mornings, afternoons and evenings. While therapy sessions are not typically scheduled Friday through Sunday, crisis management is available via phone and text. We will discuss the details during our first session together.
