Matthew Willner
Matthew Willner
I’m a licensed therapist in New York specializing in men’s mental health, with advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) — an approach that helps you understand the different parts of yourself that drive your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with men navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions, using a collaborative, non-judgmental approach that meets you where you are.
Taking the first step can often be the hardest, so I offer no-cost consultation calls to discuss what therapy together can look like.

Sam Steinbock
Sam Steinbock
I welcome adolescents and adults who are experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, mood instability, and trauma. I am particularly attuned to the difficulties men face in understanding, experiencing, and expressing our emotions. I approach my work with compassion and warmth, along with deep respect for each individual’s experience and identities. I primarily use relational and psychodynamic modalities. This means I place an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, and collaborate with my clients to identify, explore, and change relationship and behavior patterns. I believe a therapist can be a “friendly mirror,” gently guiding us to see and accept all parts of ourselves.

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.

Diego Muñoz

Quite simply, psychotherapy is about conversations. The conversations we have with ourselves and with others. We often try so many different tactics to live happier more fulfilling lives, and we come to realize that it isn’t always enough. A therapeutic conversation is based on an open and genuine collaboration between client and therapist; a relationship built on trust, honesty, and understanding. As the foundation for good therapeutic work, it’s essential to feel comfortable and cared for. I hope to provide this conversation.

Together we will engage in an empathetic, genuine, and caring way, making my approach non-judgmental, eclectic, and safe. We will focus on where you are in the moment and what you want to develop in the process. My clients often go through overwhelming life transitions, from events such as moving away from home to losing a loved one. I also work with people who have faced challenges in the workplace, including people of color, women, and people who are LGBTQ.

Julian Cabezas
Julian Cabezas
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.
