Male Therapists in New York, NY
My ideal client is thoughtful, self-aware, and tired of carrying more than they should have to. They may be navigating trauma, relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, or long-standing shame. Many are queer, trans, or non-binary, or part of marginalized communities and want a therapist who understands how identity and systemic stress shape their experience. They are seeking a safe, collaborative relationship where they can gently process the past, feel more secure in connection, and build self-trust, presence, and more meaningful relationships.

I work primarily with families, adolescents, children, and young adults who have had very difficult experiences and need a safe, playful, and steady partner to explore the impact of these events on their lives. As an out queer clinician I also work regularly with LGBTQIA+ clients who seek a therapist aware of the complexity of those identities in the world, as well as with parents looking to better develop skills to support trans or queer-identified children. I recognize racism and white supremacy as forms of social oppression that provoke traumatic responses and work accordingly with clients who have been harmed by these systems.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trapped in overthinking can make it difficult to feel confident, present, or in control of your life. Anxiety, stress, and indecision often spill into relationships, work, and daily functioning, leaving you drained and disconnected. I work with adults who want practical, evidence-based therapy to better understand themselves, manage anxiety, and make meaningful change. As a clinical psychologist, my approach is thoughtful, active, and tailored to your needs. Together, we will work to identify the patterns keeping you stuck and build greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust.

As a clinical psychologist, I am dedicated to helping people live according to their values make meaningful changes in their lives. While I am a generalist, I have particular expertise in anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, men’s issues, and LGBTQ mental health. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help patients learn to change negative thinking patterns and unhelpful behaviors. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and centered on measurable progress. I am licensed in New York, California, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and am a certified telehealth provider in Florida.

Like all therapists, I'm not for everyone. I don't fit the stereotypical image, walk to the beat of a different drum, maybe like yourself. I try to offer a balance of strength and compassion. I don't want to be solely soft and safe, nor exclusively forceful and aggressive. The art is in finding that balance and offering you that unique mix. You'll probably be divulging some pieces of yourself that are raw and weighty and maybe even a bit scary. This can be difficult, I know, I was a client before I was ever a therapist.

I was trained as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and have since integrated cognitive behavioral methods into my work. I have had extensive experience working with people of varied cultural, ethnic and racial backgrounds. I work with all age groups except children, as well as with all sexual orientations. I work with individuals, couples and families. My core belief is that when therapy works, regardless of the presenting issue, it does so because of the relationship that has evolved between me and those that come to me for help.

You function well on the outside. You think clearly, work hard, and people rely on you. But internally, your reactions don’t always make sense anymore—anxiety that escalates quickly, irritability that lingers, or a sense of being constantly “on,” even when nothing is wrong.
You’ve already tried insight, reflection, and pushing through. It’s helped—to a point. Yet certain patterns keep repeating, leaving you frustrated that understanding alone hasn’t created change.

Your quest for clarity and contentment is exhausting and that "Life Is Good" banner taunts you, mercilessly. Often life is not good - despite how good you look on paper! Talking about hopes, dreams, expectations and disappointments can be hard, but it's the best way to make better sense of your desire and all of the emotionality that comes with it.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate. I work actively in the here and now, paying close attention to the moment-to-moment shifts of the mind and how these shifts relate to perceptions of the present and to experiences from the past. By studying how your experiential world of emotion, cognition, and behavior is constructed and patterned, we can work together to find new ways for you to live, love, and relate in the world.

I like to do a two session consultation. In the first session you will have the space to tell me what has prompted you to seek treatment at this time. And in the second, through careful and non-intrusive inquiry, we will delineate the personality patterns that might be underpinning your current concerns. From there you can decide to work with me, I can help you find another therapist that better meets your needs, or we can simply part ways. The choice is yours, and the increased understanding is yours to keep!

My work centers around building a strong therapy relationship in which you can feel safe, empowered, and cared for. I believe that meaningful engagement in such a relationship can help tremendously in processing difficult feelings and experiences, building insight, and producing change. I also pay particular attention to the role that early-life experiences, relationships with caregivers and other significant figures, culture, and all kinds of meaningful contexts play in shaping our thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

I'm the founder of the ATTN Center, a Manhattan-based practice built specifically to help provide solutions for ADHD. I've spent almost 20 years working with teens, adults, and couples navigating attention, focus, and emotional regulation issues as a clinician and evaluator.
Before becoming a therapist, I was a public school teacher in the South Bronx, where I built adolescent curriculum and testing protocols that were eventually adopted statewide. That background shapes how I practice now, utilizing a practical, evidenced-based approach to ADHD Therapy.

My role is to guide them toward freedom, healing, and growth through an integrative approach.

Hi I'm Eric.
You’ve done a lot of work to get where you are — maybe you’ve moved to New York for a fresh start, built a new life, even begun exploring who you are more freely. But underneath it all, there’s still a sense of not quite feeling safe in your body or at ease in your relationships. You might find yourself spiraling with self-doubt, stuck in old roles with family, or second-guessing your worth at work or in love. And if you’ve come from a religious or authoritarian background, you may be carrying wounds that are hard to name but impossible to shake.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
