Navigate the Challenges of Depression

Compassionate Support Tailored to Your Needs

Our therapeutic approach is here to guide you through the difficulties of depression. We recognize that it can feel lonely, but you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. In our sessions, whether online or in person, we offer a supportive, empathetic environment where you can reflect on your emotions, learn effective coping techniques, and work toward finding emotional stability and well-being.

Effective Treatments for Depression

We specialize in evidence-based treatments like CBT, ACT, and Behavioral Activation, which are highly effective for addressing depression. Every one of our providers holds a doctorate, ensuring you receive expert care backed by extensive education and experience. Our team is committed to evidence-based therapeutic techniques to provide personalized care that meets your unique needs.

Accessible, Personalized Therapy

Our approach is grounded in personalized and actionable strategies. Together, we build routines, set small achievable goals, and explore how unhelpful thought patterns influence mood. We focus on engaging in activities that bring a sense of accomplishment and pleasure, even in the smallest steps, to help break the cycle of avoidance. Sessions are in person in Manhattan or online for residents in NY, NJ, CT & FL.

Breaking Free from Depression Together

Depression can feel like an overwhelming weight, marked by persistent sadness, lack of motivation, and a sense of hopelessness. It often steals joy from activities that once brought pleasure and fosters harsh self-criticism, leaving individuals feeling disconnected and unworthy. Many experience cognitive distortions like catastrophizing or all-or-nothing thinking, which deepen the cycle of despair.

At our practice, we work with adults and adolescents navigating the challenges of depression, including feelings of disconnection, and the struggle to find joy in everyday life. Our goal is to help you embrace and understand these emotions in a safe, supportive space, empowering you to heal and move forward with confidence.

Common Depression Struggles We Help You Overcome:

Persistent Sadness

Lack of Motivation

Feelings of Hopelessness

Difficulty Finding Joy

Negative Self-Talk/Low Self Worth

And More

Depression can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to control your life. With the right support and strategies, you can manage your symptoms, find stability in the midst of the struggle, and regain a sense of hope and purpose. Let us help you navigate this challenging time and guide you toward a brighter, more balanced future.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your availability?

We offer appointments Monday-Friday during morning, afternoon, and evening hours. 

What are the fees?

Please reach out for more information on rates. Payment is due at the time of the appointment.

Do you accept insurance?

Our services are private pay and we are considered out-of-network providers. Many people with out-of-network coverage can receive full or partial reimbursement for the cost of sessions through their health insurance. The amount covered will depend on the insurance plan. After each session, we can provide you with a document, called a "superbill" that has all of the necessary information required to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

How do I know if I have out-of-network coverage and if so, how does it work?

You can call your insurance company to inquire about your specific coverage and reimbursement. Here are some helpful questions to ask:

  • Do I have out-of-network coverage?

  • If so, is there an annual deductible? Have I met it? If no, how much has been met?

  • What percentage do you cover for out-of-network mental health providers?

  • Is there a maximum amount you reimburse per visit or per year?

  • Is there a claim form that I must use to submit for reimbursement?

  • How much time do I have to submit a claim after my session?

  • Do I need a pre-authorization? If so, how do I obtain it?
