Matt Sato

The City Psychotherapy NY - Multi-State Practice

You may feel like you're going through the motions — showing up for work, your relationships, and the people who matter to you, while feeling increasingly disconnected from yourself. Or maybe you keep finding yourself in the same patterns, wondering why things don't seem to change, even when you want them to. Many of the clients I work with are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or questions of identity and belonging. Together, we'll make sense of the patterns shaping your life so you can move forward with greater clarity, insight, and intention. If any of this resonates, you're in the right place.

Therapy with me is a space where we can slow down, make sense of what's been shaping your experiences, and approach those patterns with curiosity instead of judgment. Together, we'll explore how your relationships, past experiences, and environment influence the present, helping you move forward with greater clarity, self-understanding, and intention.

As a gay, first-generation Filipino American therapist, I understand how culture, identity, and relationships shape our experiences. I hold an affirming space for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients, and others exploring identity and belonging. I offer a free 15-minute video consultation so we can connect and see if working together feels like a good fit.
