High-Functioning, Highly Anxious: Redefining Expert Anxiety Therapy for Professionals in NYC

If you're searching for holistic anxiety therapy in NYC that integrates psychology, neuroscience, and somatic wisdom—you're in the right place. I offer trauma-informed, evidence-based virtual care for individuals and families navigating modern-day anxiety with depth, humor, and hope.

Anxiety wears many faces in New York City. It might look like a flawless presentation, a packed calendar, a promotion earned through perfectionism. It often hides behind success, but that doesn’t make it any less real. This holistic practice specializes in providing modern, cutting-edge anxiety therapy that does more than just address symptoms; this comprehensive approach targets the root cause of chronic anxiety and anxiety disorders.

If you're a high-functioning professional navigating relentless pressure, sleepless nights, and a nervous system on overdrive, you’re not alone. At Holistic Therapy & Wellness NYC, I work with high-achieving women, men, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are struggling beneath the surface—often silently. This isn’t about managing stress. It’s about unlearning survival mode, addressing the root causes of anxiety, and reclaiming a life that actually feels good to live.

  • Perfectionism masked as professionalism

  • Imposter syndrome despite real success

  • Panic episodes during meetings, travel, or at home

  • Somatic symptoms—tight chest, digestive issues, disrupted sleep

In a city that celebrates productivity, many high-functioning individuals don’t realize they’re in a chronic state of nervous system dysregulation. Until their body—or life—says “enough.”
