We combine two main approaches to anxiety therapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) (changing hurtful thoughts and behaviors through structured and targeted interventions) and Psychodynamic Therapy (an open-ended approach to processing past and present experiences and emotions to examine the past, understand the present, and create a better future).
When other people look at you, they think you have it all together, but inside you feel like an imposter barely keeping your head above water. You feel like something's missing. You’ve done everything right - getting the education, the job, and the accolades - but you’re not quite sure what it’s all been leading to. If you did everything right, why do you still feel so lost? Living amidst the excitement of New York, it can be hard to find a center. You always feel that pressure to perform at a high level, to be “on," and to deliver for everyone else. But who takes care of you? We want you to know: it doesn't have to be this hard.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
