My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.
It’s easy to lose your sense of direction, especially when life pulls you away from what once felt clear or important. I work with individuals who feel stuck, uncertain, or unsure how to move forward. You might be questioning your choices, your path, or your place in the world. These experiences often come with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or a sense of loneliness. In our work together, we’ll focus on helping you reconnect with what matters most and begin moving forward with more clarity and intention. Sessions include both reflection and practical steps, helping you better understand yourself while also creating a path forward. My approach is grounded, supportive, and collaborative. We’ll explore patterns, clarify your values, and work toward changes that feel realistic and aligned with who you are. Over time, clients often feel more confident in their decisions, more steady in themselves, and better able to navigate uncertainty. If you’re considering therapy, I offer a free consultation so we can talk through what you’re looking for and see if we’re a good fit.
I am a compassionate Mental Health Counselor specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work collaboratively with clients to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is supportive, goal-oriented, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, or everyday challenges, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and empowered. Through CBT, I help clients build effective coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and gain confidence in managing life’s difficulties. Together, we will focus on developing healthier thought patterns and behaviors so you can move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of well-being. Clients come to my practice for a variety of reasons, often when life begins to feel overwhelming or difficult to manage alone. Many are navigating anxiety, stress, or persistent worry that interferes with their daily lives. Others may be experiencing feelings of sadness, burnout, or struggling to cope with major life changes such as transitions in relationships, parenthood, or career. Some clients seek support to better understand their thoughts and emotions, while others want to break unhelpful patterns, improve coping skills, or build confidence and self-esteem. I also work with individuals who feel stuck, uncertain, or simply in need of a safe space to talk and be heard without judgment. No matter the reason, each client is met with empathy, respect, and a personalized approach to help them move toward greater clarity, balance, and emotional well-being. I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and taking that first step is not always easy. You may be feeling anxious, stressed, or simply unsure of where to begin—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I am here to listen, support, and walk alongside you at your own pace. If you’re ready to start your journey toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. I would be honored to support you.
When triggered by the right stressors, the genes we are born with can lead to anxiety, depression, mood swings, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations. And throughout life, we may experience abuse, neglect, loss, poverty, trauma and situations that make us feel “stuck.” Most stressors require support via therapy. Some respond better to medications. Whether it's ongoing therapy, medication, or a combination of the two, I will give you the evidence-based research. YOU will decide what's best for you.
Every individual is a compilation of their genetics, early learned behavior, primary identifications, patterning, and life experience. Psychotherapy is a guide to identifying and mapping these factors, appreciating the ones that serve well as well as learning to work with and restructure those that, born of dysfunction, continue to cause unhappiness and anxiety. Psychotherapy is a mutual process, where a therapist acts as pilot for navigating what is brought by the patient - the co-pilot. It is the patient's job to think about and gradually share their experiences and thoughts while it is the therapist's job to listen carefully, comment effectively, and guide the patient to a better understanding of the lines that have shaped them. Verbalization leads to consciousness, and the chance to choose alternate ways of coping with situations and relationships. Out of cognition comes actions which lead to character changes. These can help a person to better reach their life goal and personal fulfillment, be these goals relationship, career, familial, financial or spiritual.
Hi, I'm Dr. Adam Weissman, Founder & Director of The Child & Family Institute and Weissman Children’s Foundation. I'm an avid traveler, adventurer, creator, collector, and the proud dad of two young boys. I specialize in the transdiagnostic assessment and treatment of pediatric anxiety, depression, habit, attention, and behavior disorders, including my new Compassionate Parent Training program, and Feelings Fuzzies book series for young children. Our team specializes in most things within the realm of evidence-based treatment--from OCD, habits, and tics, to phobias, trauma, panic, and selective mutism, to learning, attention, behavior problems, parenting, and family conflict, to health and sports psychology. I'm an authentic guy with a ton of lived experience, who loves to laugh and connect deeply, which I think are assets in the therapy room and create unique opportunities for trust-building, meaningful connection, and transformational change, well beyond your traditional cognitive and behavioral therapies, or eclectic, evidence-based approach. I'm available for private in-home sessions, texts and phone calls between sessions as clinically indicated, as well as other special circumstances given the wishes of the client and careful ethical considerations. I also run a doctoral training program through CFI, training the next generation of culturally informed and connected, compassionate, data-driven future psychologists. And my private concierge practice directly supports pro bono services for underserved children and families through the Weissman Children’s Foundation.
I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, and the weight that builds up when life gets genuinely hard. That includes LGBTQ+ youth and adults, adolescents with disabilities, couples, people of color, and clients who have felt like the system was not built with them in mind. My approach is integrative and strengths-based, with CBT and trauma-informed care at the core, and I show up with genuine empathy and honest directness. I offer clients a safe space to share their most vulnerable moments, free of judgment, to hone their skills, and to be unapologetically themselves while making progress toward their goals. I can't wait to see how far you come! Reach out when you are ready.
I’m a clinical psychologist in New York City, trained at Harvard Medical School and the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. I work with high-striving, curious professionals who struggle with anxiety, anger, obsessive compulsion (OCD), perfectionism, and the pressures that often come with achievement. Much of my work is with executives, founders, and C-suite leaders navigating burnout, high-stakes decisions, and the emotional costs of sustained performance. Many of my clients function seamlessly on the outside while feeling caught in overthinking, self-criticism, irritability, or relationship friction, or in a persistent sense that they should be doing (or feeling) better. I’m the author of Perfectionism: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals, and as an assistant professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, I’ve taught psychotherapy techniques, abnormal psychology, and group therapy. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy, so the work is both practical and exploratory. You’ll learn concrete strategies to reduce rumination, anxiety, and emotional reactivity in real time. Alongside that, we’ll look at why certain situations feel so charged, why familiar cycles repeat, and what internal expectations shape your life and relationships. At times I bring books, essays, or film into our work. People often recognize themselves in a character or story before they’ve found the words to describe their own experience, and those moments can open up new ways of thinking about identity, relationships, and internal conflict. I primarily work via telehealth and offer limited in-person sessions in New York City. I’m licensed through PSYPACT, which allows me to see clients by telehealth in 43 states. If any of this sounds familiar, I’d be glad to talk. I offer an initial phone consultation to get a sense of what you’re looking for and whether we’re a good fit.
The relationship between psychotherapist and client is of utmost importance in my practice- feeling understood, accepted and not judged. With my extensive experience in the field both as a practitioner and a teacher, having a foundation of knowledge of human psychological development and unconscious processes is requisite to being able to listen to and understand what people are expressing, both within their awareness and what may not be accessible to them without professional help. I work with each person based on what their individual needs are.
Are you feeling unmotivated, moody, or have run into some sort of life obstacle? Are you too shy or socially isolated? Do you worry too much about tomorrow or the future? My goal is to help you unblock obstacles and help you reach your goals at your own pace. We will work together to improve your quality of life. I currently treat adolescents, children, adults, families, as well as couples. I am a Bilingual Mental Health Counselor and Psychotherapist. I've been working in the area of human services for over twenty years. I help people of all ages strengthen their executive skills in efforts to decrease and even eliminate weaknesses responsible for instability. I am an open-minded therapist whose fundamental goal is to improve your quality of life. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will promptly reach out to speak to you.
You’re not in crisis, but you’re not free. You overthink, stay vigilant, and hold everything together even when no one’s asking you to. Your anxiety isn’t loud. It’s controlled, contained, and constant: mental loops you can’t shut off, pressure to get it right, difficulty letting go, strain in your closest relationships. I work with high-functioning professionals and couples who are outwardly successful and inwardly exhausted: people who are skeptical of quick fixes and ready for something deeper. We start by slowing down enough to understand what’s really happening. I draw from Gestalt therapy, psychodynamic theory, and 20+ years of experience. My style is grounded, direct, and emotionally attuned. This is not symptom management. It is steady relational work that loosens the grip of anxiety and control so something more alive can emerge. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, grief, and relationships. Starting therapy when you are used to being the strong one can feel like a risk. You wonder if someone will get you, or if it becomes another space where you perform being fine. I offer something different: a place where you feel met, not assessed, and your pace matters. A brief consultation lets us see whether this feels right.
