Individual therapy, also known as counseling or psychotherapy, is an empowering journey of self-awareness and growth. In one-on-one sessions with your therapist you will explore the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors guiding your life. Few couples expect they will ever need counseling, and few come to counseling at the start of a problem.
If you discover yourself struggling with the losses, stresses, and setbacks of life, counseling can provide you the opportunity and space to examine and clarify your thoughts and emotions, and identify the best way forward.
If you have difficulty finding and maintaining healthy relationships, counseling can help you delve into past and current relationships, highlighting ways you may be unconsciously sabotaging familial, platonic and, especially, romantic relationships.If you find life feels lackluster despite the outward appearance of success, therapy can help you look within, uncover your passions and rediscover meaning.

They doubled their rate per session without telling me and just charged my credit card. I was shocked to see this charge but was willing to work with them to figure out a new payment plan based on this new rate. Unfortunately, they decided to then retroactively charge me the new rate for previous sessions (also with zero communication) and just helped themselves once more to my credit card. Never keep your credit card on file because this place will 100% take advantage of you.

The billing of this place is horrible. This place charged additional fee without notices. My account balance was already paid off a month ago. I tried to reach out several time about upcoming fee for further sessions. I followed up 4 times with direct emails and through my therapist and never got response. NO Response for a month and then they suddenly decided to charge me another $150 with no authorization. Now, they just charged my card without any notice. Be aware this place.
Update:
I had two sessions with them by January 24th, 2021 and then my account was paid off on January 26th, 2021. I

I reached out to the staff at NYC Counseling to schedule a phone screening with a therapist to discuss grief counseling. After the time for my phone screening came and went without a call from the therapist, I called the office to see if the appointment was still on the schedule or perhaps there was a scheduling mistake. The admin kept promising she would be in touch within the hour. The therapist never called and I wasted an hour of my morning sitting by my phone, as if New Yorkers just love to sit around and waste their time.
I called later that afternoon and the administrative staff kept reassuring

I was scared to try therapy for many reasons including that my life isn't so bad. I have most of what anyone would think is successful and I felt super ashamed to reach out. Once I called NYC Counseling and especially when I walked in the door, that all melted away. It felt super normal to be there and I left excited to sort out what was getting in the way of thriving, not just surviving.
I'm several weeks in and feeling so grateful. I thought therapy was either very expensive or for the very poor but NYC Counseling proves otherwise.

A needle in a haystack--affordable, high quality therapy in Manhattan. Wow, so delighted to find this place, I'm wary of spreading the word on this hidden gem. It's scary to try therapy especially when your life seems fine, even great. But do yourself a favor and get a little help. Wish I had done so even sooner but glad I didn't wait forever. NYC Counseling made me feel immediately at ease and not like going to a weird, old psychoanalyst's office.

If you are looking for counseling, I would highly recommend NYC Counseling. Having gotten to know Justena Kavanagh, the founder and clinical director of NYC Counseling, as a colleague and friend I can attest to her dedication to creating an excellent place for healing and growth. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or any of life's challenges I would encourage you to reach out to NYC Counseling and their therapists.
