If you’re reading this you’ve taken the first step to improving your mental health. Not easy, I know. The stress of modern life, especially in NYC, can leave us feeling lost, stuck or isolated. These feelings, when combined with loss, despair, grief or even normal life transitions, can be overwhelming. I am a clinical social worker with more than 12 years’ experience of working with clients to better understand complex emotions and what is keeping them from moving forward. I am psychodynamically oriented but also have training in motivational interviewing, mindfulness strategies and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Sam Douglas
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I believe that depression and anxiety emerge from patterns of emotion, thought, and behavior that we learned in order to survive. So therapy begins with a faith that you came by your struggles honestly, in an effort to protect yourself and make sense of your world. From there, the first step is to recognize how these patterns function now in your life and your mind, and to believe in the possibility that you can feel different--freer, safer, calmer, more lovable.
Bobby Rosenthal
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MSW
Verified
My client may be a person who currently feels stuck in their life, or dealing with chronic health issues, issues related to aging, coming out, or dealing with depression and anxiety. They are seeking to feel better emotionally, function better in their lives, and connect to others in a more meaningful way. I honor the uniqueness of my patients and celebrate the qualities which make them particularly remarkable. I work with patients to achieve more satisfaction from their lives and choices, and provide them with support and practical feedback to assist in helping them resolve current problems and long-standing maladaptive patterns.
Julie Manheimer

What sets me apart from other therapists is my strong intuition and empathy. I believe the most powerful factor in therapy is that the client feels deeply known and accepted. By providing a safe space for you to process any unresolved feelings or trauma, I can help you know yourself better and learn how to function optimally in this world. Together, we will work through the layers and focus on who you want to be.

Josh Silnik
Counselor, LMHC
Verified
You’re alone. It’s awful not having anyone to share your accomplishments or sadness with. Constantly keeping all your painful feelings to yourself, you find it challenging to form or maintain relationships. You’re frustrated because you don’t know why. It feels like everyone lets you down eventually. You’re tired of being disappointed by others. People are now keeping their distance from you, so you tell yourself that you do not need any of them – but everyone needs someone sometimes. Your loneliness is eating at you alive. There’s an empty feeling that you can’t seem to fill. You just want to be loved and accepted.

Robert Osman
Licensed Psychoanalyst
Verified
I aim to help patients discover those things about themselves, their partner or relationship, enabling them to address their issue, moving to the next phase more satisfyingly. I do not bring any prior ideas or thoughts about the best outcome, but let my patient(s) guide the treatment. Working with someone means being available to the sort of dialogue that will be helpful. Some want to discuss a specific issue; with others, a larger pattern is revealed through our interactions. My adapting to the relationship, with the client not having to fit my style, is a particular strength of mine.

Janet Margolis
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

How do you find the right therapist? Education and training is important, but at least as important is finding a therapist with whom you can truly be yourself. I've been told by my patients that the reasons they value therapy with me are that I'm easy to talk to, I really listen, and I'm interactive. They say I "get" them, which helps to develop trust and safety. It can be difficult to talk about your personal struggles with someone you don't know. My warm, calm and non-judgmental nature makes it a little bit easier. I have 30 years of experience, deep empathy and a sense of humor.
