Behind the sharp mind, the polished image, and the relentless drive, there’s often a quieter story—of pressure, perfectionism, self-doubt, or disconnection. This practice offers high-level, integrative psychotherapy for those navigating complex lives.

Whether you’re a creative facing burnout, an executive craving deeper purpose, or a high-achieving professional carrying silent stress, this is a space to pause, reflect, and realign. Rooted in depth psychology and forward-thinking, evidence-based approaches, therapy here is not just about coping—it’s about transforming how you live, lead, and relate to yourself.

I provide integrative, trauma-informed psychotherapy for professionals and executives in New York City who value discretion, depth, and meaningful change.

Finding the Best Therapist in New York City for Professionals & Executives

Finding the right therapist as a professional or executive in New York City requires more than strong credentials—it requires someone who understands the internal and external pressures of high-responsibility roles, sustained performance demands, and complex work-life dynamics.

An experienced therapist for professionals can help you:

• Manage chronic stress and burnout

• Navigate leadership challenges

• Address perfectionism and imposter syndrome

• Improve emotional regulation

• Strengthen relationships

• Clarify values and direction

The right therapist tailors evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities to your unique personality, goals, and career context. They offer a confidential, nonjudgmental space where you can speak honestly—without needing to perform, succeed, or hold it together.

In a city as fast-paced and demanding as NYC, working with a therapist who understands high-functioning nervous systems and high-achievement culture is essential. Feeling understood, supported, and grounded early in therapy often matters more than accolades. With the right fit, therapy becomes a space to gain clarity, resilience, and emotional balance—supporting both personal and professional flourishing.

The Needs of High-Functioning Professionals

High-functioning professionals often struggle to ask for help. Many believe they should be able to manage everything on their own. As a result, they suffer quietly.

When professionals enter therapy, they often share that they are externally successful yet internally unfulfilled. Common experiences include:

• Burnout

• Emotional exhaustion

• Loneliness

• Loss of meaning

• New or worsening health symptoms

• Anxiety or depression

• Imposter syndrome

Imposter syndrome—though widely discussed—is a deeply destabilizing experience that affects many high-achievers.

As a psychotherapist and executive coach, I specialize in working with high-performing individuals who want more than surface-level stress management. I work well with professionals who are thoughtful, driven, and reflective, yet privately struggling.

For over fifteen years, I have worked with high-profile clients, leaders, and professionals across Fortune 500 companies and across career stages, helping them gain perspective, build sustainable coping strategies, and create healthier, more satisfying lives.

As a New Yorker, I understand the unique psychological demands of high-stakes environments—and I want to help you achieve the energy, clarity, and work-life balance you deserve.

Therapy for Executives, Professionals & Creatives – Frequently Asked Questions

What is therapy for executives, professionals, and creatives?

Therapy for executives, professionals, and creatives is designed to support individuals navigating high responsibility, visibility, and internal pressure. The work focuses on emotional regulation, clarity, resilience, and deeper self-understanding—rather than performance alone.

I’m successful on paper. Why would I need therapy?

Many accomplished individuals seek therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because success often comes with chronic stress, emotional strain, or disconnection from oneself. Therapy offers a space to explore internal experiences that may be hidden behind competence, achievement, or creativity.

What kinds of concerns do you commonly work with in this population?

Common themes include burnout, anxiety, depression, decision fatigue, perfectionism, imposter feelings, relationship strain, creative blocks, self-sabotage, and the emotional impact of leadership or visibility. Therapy helps address both the internal and relational dimensions of these challenges.

How does therapy differ for executives or creatives compared to general therapy?

Therapy for this population is often more nuanced and depth-oriented, recognizing the complexity of identity, responsibility, and inner life that accompanies leadership or creative work. An integrative approach allows therapy to be tailored rather than formulaic.

Is this therapy focused on performance or productivity?

No. While clarity and effectiveness may improve, therapy is not coaching or performance optimization. The focus is on emotional health, nervous system regulation, and alignment—supporting sustainable success rather than pushing harder.

Can therapy help with burnout and chronic stress?

Yes. Therapy can help identify how burnout develops, how the nervous system responds to prolonged pressure, and what supports restoration rather than depletion. This often includes addressing boundaries, internal expectations, and long-standing stress patterns.

Is therapy confidential for high-profile or privacy-conscious clients?

Yes. Confidentiality is a foundational element of psychotherapy. Many executives, professionals, and creatives value the discretion and privacy that telehealth therapy provides, allowing consistent care without unnecessary exposure.

How does an integrative approach support this work?

An integrative approach considers the whole person—emotional patterns, nervous system responses, trauma history, relationships, and life context. Therapy may include trauma-informed psychotherapy, EMDR-informed approaches, and strategies that support regulation, insight, and sustainable change.

Can EMDR be helpful for professionals or creatives?

EMDR may be helpful when unresolved experiences, negative core beliefs, or chronic stress patterns interfere with confidence, creativity, or emotional well-being. It is used selectively and within a broader therapeutic framework when appropriate.

Is telehealth effective for executives and busy professionals?

Yes. Telehealth therapy offers flexibility, consistency, and privacy—making it particularly well-suited for individuals with demanding schedules or frequent travel, while still allowing for depth and continuity of care.

Do you provide therapy for executives, professionals, and creatives in New York via telehealth?

Yes. Therapy is offered to individuals located in New York through secure telehealth sessions, in accordance with state licensure requirements.

Who typically benefits most from this work?

This work is often well-suited for individuals who are self-aware, thoughtful, and motivated to explore their inner experience—particularly those who are outwardly capable but internally stretched, overwhelmed, or seeking greater alignment.

How long does therapy typically last?

There is no fixed timeline. Some clients engage in focused, shorter-term work, while others choose longer-term therapy to address deeper emotional or relational patterns. Therapy is paced collaboratively.

How do I get started?

You can begin by requesting an initial consultation. This allows us to discuss your goals, explore whether this approach is the right fit, and determine next steps in a thoughtful, confidential way.
