Therapists in New York

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.

I work with men who are capable, responsible, and successful, yet feel lonely, disconnected, or quietly dissatisfied with their lives. Many describe going through the motions, holding things together for others, or feeling unsure why success, whether financial, familial, or romantic, hasn’t brought a deeper sense of fulfillment.
My approach is existential, relational and reflective, humorous at times, and focused on understanding how you’ve learned to manage closeness, responsibility, and uncertainty, and what that has required of you over time. Therapy is a space to think honestly, feel more connected, and explore who you want to be.

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.

As a provider of mental health services in a variety of settings over the past seventeen years, John’s depth of experience allows for a unique perspective with a high level of empathy. John’s practice, Turtlehead Wellness, began as an idea on the Appalachian Trail somewhere between Vermont and Maine in between bites of beef jerky, peanut butter, and chicken of the sea. As a mental health professional, runner, hiker, and amateur explorer, John has long recognized the deep connection between mental and physical well-being. Turtlehead Wellness was started to approach mental health with a clinical mindset and a focus on holistic health.

I am a collaborative psychotherapist who enjoys integrating CBT, IFS, mindfulness treatments, trauma-informed practices, somatic treatments, and psychodynamic psychotherapy in my work to offer the best care possible for my clients. I believe sexual health, understanding, and connection are vital. I know the importance of mind/body integration.

I use an eclectic approach to therapy, tailored to the goals and preferences of the client. My treatment style is integrative and strength-based and can incorporate tenets of CBT, motivational interviewing, crisis management, psychodynamic therapy, or trauma-informed counseling, depending on the client’s unique situation.
I enjoy nothing more than bringing out the best in others, seeing them grow, and helping them attain peace and happiness that has eluded them.

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.

I approach therapy from the perspective that we have the capacity to find answers within ourselves and evolve as people. I work with individuals in a collaborative, strengths-based, emergent process. Together, let’s identify and challenge disruptive thoughts, behaviors, and feelings in a safe, confidential, supportive environment.

I specialize in providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, phobias, and panic attacks. I use brief, evidence-based treatments to help you feel better quickly. My style is empathic, realistic, and optimistic. I view therapy as a collaborative process, mainly focused on the here-and-now, where we work together to enable you to overcome the barriers between you and your goals.
You are the expert in you – we’ll create a plan that is personalized to your specific values, identities, and experiences. We’ll practice new skills and strategies so that you feel confident using them on your own to get better results at work, home, and in your relationships.

My approach to counseling is informed by multiple schools of thought including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Theory, and Relational Psychotherapy. Integrating these philosophies enhances my ability to adapt to the unique needs of each individual, family, or group that I work with. My style is interactive, practical, and infused with sensitivity and a sense of humor.

I HELP MILLENNIAL AND GEN X PROFESSIONALS CONSCIOUSLY GET WHAT THEY WANT (IN LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS). Life is overwhelming. Between work, relationships, and technology calling for your attention at every moment, it’s extremely difficult to remain calm and grounded. We can lose our sense of purpose and passion.
Unlike other therapists who merely sit and listen, I take an active and engaged approach. You may find yourself in a guided meditation or a role-play exercise. There may be optional homework assignments. We’ll tune into exactly what you need. I’m here to support you to find your unique, confident voice.

I work with men who are ready to move beyond just managing symptoms and want to understand what’s really underneath: the stories, pressures, and unspoken rules that shape how you show up in your life. My approach blends depth psychology with practical tools, drawing from both clinical training and personal experience navigating rigid systems. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or just feeling stuck, therapy can help you find a more authentic, whole, and grounded version of yourself.
