Therapy for Anxiety, Relationships, and Attachment in New York
You’re doing well on the outside… and ready to feel better on the inside.
Are you overthinking, people pleasing, and second guessing yourself — even when you’re doing “well” on paper?
If anxiety, self doubt, OCD, or repeating relationship patterns are keeping you from feeling like yourself, therapy can help.

Does this sound familiar?
On the outside, you’re functioning — showing up to work, keeping relationships, getting through your days. But inside, it feels heavy.
Your mind won’t slow down. It replays conversations, worries about what could go wrong, or tells you you’re behind and should be doing more. You overthink, second guess yourself, and brace for the next problem. Even when life looks “fine” on paper, your body feels tense, tired, or unable to fully relax.
You’ve tried coping on your own — journaling, self help books, meditation apps, or “pushing through” — but the relief never lasts. The patterns keep repeating, and you feel like you’re stuck in the same cycle no matter what you do.
You want to move forward — in your career, relationships, and life — but you feel stuck or frozen in overwhelm. Whether it’s anxiety, OCD, attachment struggles, or repeating relationship patterns, these challenges can make even a “normal” day feel impossible.
In your day to day life…
You’re capable and responsible, but it often feels like you’re just getting through things rather than actually enjoying them. You carry a constant sense of pressure, even during downtime. Rest doesn’t feel restorative, and it’s hard to fully be present without your mind jumping to what’s next or what’s missing.
At work and in your life direction…
You’ve tried communicating differently, reading advice articles, or forcing yourself to “let it go,” but you keep hitting the same walls. You notice shifts in tone, energy, or distance and immediately worry you’ve done something wrong. You fear being “too much” or not enough. You may pull back when things feel intense, or find yourself drawn to unavailable people. Old patterns repeat, leaving you frustrated and exhausted.
In your relationships…
You feel pressure to have it all figured out. Career stress, burnout, or a big life change leaves you unsure how to move forward. You overthink decisions, worry about making the “wrong” move, and tie your worth to productivity or success. You want clarity, confidence, and a grounded sense of direction without burning out to get there.
On the inside…
Anxiety, rumination, or catastrophizing take up more space than you want. Your inner critic convinces you you’re failing, falling behind, or should be handling life better. You feel low, flat, or disconnected from joy. You want to understand why you respond this way — whether it’s anxiety, OCD, attachment wounds, or past experiences — without shaming yourself.
You want clarity, relief, and a sense that someone truly sees and understands you.
That the patterns that feel impossible to break can actually shift — with guidance in individual therapy, couples therapy, or specialized approaches for OCD and attachment challenges.
How therapy in NYC can help
We offer therapy in NYC for adults who are high-functioning on the outside but struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, burnout, or feeling stuck on the inside.
Our work blends psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based therapy, CBT, DBT, EFT, ERP, and narrative approaches to help you understand your patterns, regulate anxiety, and create lasting change, not just short term relief.
Whether you’re looking for anxiety therapy in NYC, relationship therapy, OCD therapy, or support through burnout, depression, or a major life change, therapy with us is thoughtful, collaborative, and tailored to you.
Here's how we work with you:
We help you understand why your patterns keep repeating
Using psychodynamic and attachment-based therapy, we explore how early experiences, past relationships, and learned coping strategies shape how you handle stress, intimacy, conflict, and self worth today. This helps make sense of anxiety, relationship struggles, and emotional reactivity. Not to place blame, but to give you clarity and choice. Insight is the foundation for change.
We work directly with anxiety, rumination, and OCD patterns
If you’re stuck in overthinking, catastrophizing, reassurance-seeking, or mental loops, we address this head-on using CBT and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention). This is especially helpful for anxiety therapy and OCD therapy, where the goal isn’t to eliminate thoughts, but to reduce how much power they have over your life.
We help you regulate your nervous system, not just your thoughts
Anxiety, relationship stress, and burnout live in the body as much as the mind. Using DBT and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), we help you recognize when your nervous system is activated, develop grounding skills, and respond to stress with more stability and self trust. Instead of panic, shutdown, or people pleasing.
We support healthier relationships and clearer boundaries
For clients seeking relationship therapy, couples therapy, or help navigating dating, attachment anxiety, or conflict, we focus on communication, boundaries, and emotional safety. We help you understand what’s coming from attachment wounds versus what’s happening in the present relationship, so you can respond with clarity instead of fear.
We help with career stress, burnout, and feeling stuck
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, or questioning your direction, therapy can help you slow down and reconnect with what actually matters. We work with clients seeking career stress and burnout therapy, helping you untangle anxiety from identity, reduce pressure, and make grounded decisions without burning out.
We help you make sense of your story and move forward
Using narrative therapy, we help you understand your experiences — including depression, breakups, divorce, or major life changes in a way that feels coherent and empowering. This work is especially helpful for depression therapy and breakup and divorce therapy, where clarity and meaning are essential for healing.
Therapy here isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you understand yourself more deeply, respond to anxiety and stress differently, and build a more grounded, fulfilling life — in your relationships, your work, and within yourself.

We kindly ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your session. If less notice is given, you are responsible for the full session fee.
We understand that life happens, so every client gets one “freebie.” If you give less than 24 hours notice, you won’t be charged the first time. After that, the policy applies as normal.
If you’re running late to a session, just let us know. Please note that arriving more than 15 minutes late may require rescheduling and being charged the full session fee.
What you can expect from therapy
Therapy doesn’t erase anxiety, OCD, or relationship stress overnight — but it gives you tools to respond differently, notice patterns without getting stuck, and make choices with more clarity.
Here's what often shifts for our clients:
You notice anxiety and overthinking without getting trapped.
You still feel worried or uncertain at times, but instead of spiraling for hours, you recognize the pattern, ground yourself, and move forward.
You make decisions with more confidence.
Whether it’s setting boundaries, speaking up at work, or navigating relationships, you weigh what matters to you instead of being paralyzed by fear, doubt, or what others think.
You understand your patterns.
You can tell the difference between anxiety or OCD-driven reactions and what’s actually happening in the present moment. You see attachment patterns clearly and know how to respond without repeating old cycles.
Your relationships feel safer and more connected.
You communicate more effectively, set boundaries without guilt, and feel more secure in romantic, family, or work relationships.
You regulate your emotions instead of being ruled by them
You handle stress, setbacks, or conflict without spiraling or shutting down. You develop practical skills that make daily life feel more manageable.
You trust yourself more.
You feel grounded in your decisions, your worth isn’t defined by perfection or productivity, and you carry a sense of stability no matter what’s happening around you.
Therapy here isn’t about erasing your struggles — it’s about helping you understand them, shift what isn’t serving you, and build a life that feels more balanced, confident, and connected.
