Therapists in New York

Dr. Joanne Heith
Dr. Joanne Heith
Welcome. I’m an individual, couples and group therapist, offering sessions in person in downtown Brooklyn, NY. I offer 30 years of experience in the field. I’m also a professor of Exercise Science and Psychology.
I would like to encourage men to consider interpersonal group therapy. Men need and want what we all want, that is to feel connected. No tools to learn, handbooks to read, no feelings to ‘manage’ or ‘regulate’. Thoughts and feelings are not bad or good, they provide information about dynamics, current and past. Consultations regarding membership in this diverse, inclusive, in person, Downtown Brooklyn group, is free of charge.

Dr. Daniel Kessler
Dr. Daniel Kessler
A trusted advisor to leaders, founders, and professionals managing complex roles, Dr. Kessler has 30 years of experience and is sought by those navigating major inflection points – from mental/emotional overload and performance plateaus to relationship recalibration.
Dr. Kessler is focused, directive, and works to help clients clarify their goals, strengthen performance, and reclaim emotional energy. No psychobabble, just focused, outcome-driven work, customized to your needs.
He focuses on issues common to men, such as sleep, resolving communication and distancing issues in relationships, decreasing performance-based anxiety and stress, and smoothing life transitions and self-doubt.

I work on helping young men reclaim their stories and navigate their emotions through the works of Creative arts therapy and talk therapy. I specialize in helping young men with anxiety, depressive, trauma, and anger management. I also have work with those recently influenced by the Manosphere and political trauma.
Creative arts therapy is a humanist tool where we listen to the client and work to find a groove and project that best suits the clients needs and meet them where they are at. We will work together to help find your own voice and break stigma to help find the man you want to be and find your path.

My approach combines Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I work with you to explore and address emotional obstacles, build resilience, and create lasting positive change. My goal is to help you manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, and achieve greater personal fulfillment. Together, we’ll focus on practical strategies to enhance your well-being and help you take control of your mental health.

The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center
The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center
For anyone, beginning therapy can be filled with a range of feelings, from fear to excitement to uncertainty. As therapists, we hope to guide, support, empower and be with you during this process of growth, exploration, and self actualization. We want to work with you to realize a life you find fulfilling on your own terms.
The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center is a New York City based group of psychotherapists providing a wide range of services, including psychotherapy, supervision, workshops, and consultation focusing on gender, sexuality, sex and relationships.
We believe that taking the first step and beginning therapy is nothing short of courageous, is self-caring, and deeply rewarding, and we’re so glad you’re here.

Asking for help can be a tremendously difficult task and you have already taken a great step in your own healing process. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, existential questions, relationship issues or other obstacles life might throw your way, we can define what therapy should look and feel like for you. My approach to therapy relational, person-centered, and exploratory. Treatment may include CBT and mindfulness exercises as tools to improve self-awareness and grounding in the present moment. Examining the relationship between your thoughts, emotions and behavioral patterns will help guide our work together in order to cultivate healing change.

As a psychotherapist (LCSW), I support people through a non-pathologizing approach by offering the compassion and connection we all need to heal. I affirm your gender, sexuality, culture, race, neurodiversity, and the backgrounds that blend to make you who you are today.
I utilize a variety of modalities based on the person(s) in front of me. Relational work is embedded within every intervention.
Methods include Internal Family Systems, Somatics, Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health focused on dads & fatherhood, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Relational Life Therapy, Brainspotting, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
I see our sessions as a time to guide you and a place to teach you so that when you leave the office, you will have those skills within yourself. I meet with clients virtually weekly and bi-weekly in California and New York. I am an out-of provider and can provide superbills if you are interested in submitting them for reimbursement. We also have therapists in training—graduate mental health interns—who provide therapy to expand access.
Additionally, I provide clinical consultation, supervision, and training for those interested in learning additional skills outside of a psychotherapy relationship. Please let me know in your message if this is of interest.
