One Practice

How We Work Together

Our practice is warm, direct and focused on what brings each person, couple or family into therapy. We set goals early and keep the conversation connected to daily life.

Both clinicians value the relationships, identities and experiences that shape a client. The goal is thoughtful care with enough honesty to name patterns and enough compassion to understand why they developed.

Who We See

Adults, Couples and Families

Individuals. Adults ages 18 and up working through anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma, grief, identity or change.

Couples. Partners who care about each other and want support with recurring conflict, connection and communication.

Families. Families facing strained communication, conflict or a transition that affects the whole system.

A Clear Beginning

What Happens First

Your first contact is a free 15-minute phone consultation. You can share what has been happening, ask practical questions and learn which clinician may fit the kind of support you want.

If you continue, the first therapy session focuses on understanding the concern and setting clear goals. Weekly appointments provide consistency, either in person in Manhattan or online while you are located in New York State. Evening appointments are available.

Finding the Right Fit

The first conversation can help you decide who feels right for you.

A free 15-minute phone consultation gives you time to share what you are looking for and ask about the next step.

Beyond the Work

People Behind the Practice

Azia loves travel, time in nature and taking her dog to the dog park. Olivia likes trying new restaurants. These ordinary parts of life reflect a practice that sees clients as full people, not a list of concerns.
