Additional information about nYC concierge therapy
Concierge psychological care is a more personalized, high-end approach to mental health treatment. It’s typically designed for individuals who seek an elevated level of service, tailored treatment plans, and greater accessibility. The model can vary, but in general, it provides a more private and customized experience than traditional therapy or psychiatry. Here’s who concierge psychological care is often best suited for:
Busy Professionals and Executives, VIPs and High-profile clients
Why it works for them - Concierge psychological care is ideal for people with demanding schedules who may need flexible hours or after-hours appointments. The focus is often on providing care in a way that doesn’t interfere with their hectic professional lives.
Benefits - Quick access to a therapist or mental health professional, priority scheduling, and sometimes even virtual or phone consultations. This can be crucial for high-level decision-makers who are under significant stress or experiencing burnout.
People Seeking Privacy and Discretion
Why it works for them - Some people are particularly concerned about the privacy and confidentiality of their mental health care, especially public figures, celebrities, or those in high-profile positions.
Benefits - Concierge care often emphasizes absolute confidentiality, discretion, and comfort. The service may also be tailored to ensure minimal disruption to their daily life or to provide care in private locations (e.g., home, office, or discreet clinics).
Individuals with Complex or Chronic Mental Health Issues
Why it works for them - Concierge care often provides a more holistic, individualized approach to treatment. For those with chronic mental health concerns or complex issues (e.g., trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, etc.), this can mean more comprehensive care and more frequent follow-ups.
Benefits - Longer therapy sessions, a more flexible treatment plan, and access to a broader range of specialists (e.g., therapists, psychiatrists, nutritionists, etc.) who work collaboratively. This model often goes beyond traditional therapy by integrating various modalities, such as nutrition, fitness, and mindfulness practices.
People Seeking an Integrated, Whole-Person Approach
Why it works for them - Some people are looking for more than just therapy or medication—they want an integrated approach that addresses all aspects of their well-being (physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual).
Benefits - Concierge psychological care can offer a more comprehensive and individualized plan that may include psychotherapy, medication management, stress reduction, lifestyle coaching, and holistic treatments. It could involve working with a team of professionals who coordinate care for mental health, physical health, and wellness.
Individuals with Specific Treatment Needs or Preferences
Why it works for them - People who want specialized care or who prefer particular therapeutic modalities (e.g., EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, etc.) can benefit from concierge care because it often gives them access to a wider range of therapeutic options.
Benefits - Concierge therapists may offer alternative or integrative therapies that aren't always available in more traditional settings. This might include cutting-edge treatments, access to experts in specific fields, or therapy methods that are less common in general practice.
Patients Who Value Consistency and Continuity of Care
Why it works for them - For people who have experienced high levels of disruption in care or feel like they’re constantly being shuffled between different providers, concierge care offers continuity with a single provider or small team of specialists.
Benefits - One of the core features of concierge psychological care is that it often provides the same therapist or clinician consistently, which fosters a deeper, more personalized therapeutic relationship. This continuity helps clients build trust and work on long-term goals.
People Who Struggle to Access Quality Mental Health Care
Why it works for them - In some areas, access to quality mental health care can be limited, and waitlists can be long. Concierge care can help individuals who need timely and reliable access to therapy or psychiatric services.
Benefits - Concierge care often involves fewer bureaucratic barriers (such as insurance restrictions or long wait times) and is designed to get individuals the help they need quickly.
8. Families Seeking Comprehensive Mental Health Support
Why it works for them - Concierge care can be tailored to support families, particularly when several members may be experiencing challenges or if a family is navigating complex dynamics.
Benefits - Services may include family therapy, parenting coaching, and specialized programs for children, adolescents, or couples. Concierge care can ensure that the mental health of each family member is being supported, with an integrated approach to family wellness.
People Looking for a More Collaborative, Holistic Care Model
Why it works for them - Some individuals are seeking a mental health care model that goes beyond just talking through problems. They want a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach that might include nutritionists, personal trainers, life coaches, and other wellness professionals working together.
Benefits - A concierge model often integrates different professionals into a team that works cohesively to support the individual. This can be particularly helpful for individuals who want to optimize every area of their life for better mental health, including physical health, work-life balance, and emotional well-being.
Key Features of Concierge Psychological Care:
Personalized, tailored care plans - Treatment is customized to the individual's specific needs, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
Flexible availability - This includes quicker response times and more flexible scheduling, particularly valuable for people with busy or unpredictable schedules.
Holistic and integrative approaches - Many concierge services offer a broader view of health, integrating mental health with physical wellness, stress management, and lifestyle optimization.
A focus on quality and consistency - Continuity of care with the same provider(s) is often a priority, which helps build trust and ensures a more personalized experience over time.

About Holistic Psychotherapy & Wellness Manhattan
I’ve been in the holistic wellness & psychology field for nearly twenty years. As a licensed psychotherapist with a private psychotherapy practice in New York City, I blend what I’ve found to be the most effective practices in psychology, neurobiology, attachment, alternative medicine, nutrition, coaching, and mind-body medicine practices. I believe that lasting change and transformation is possible when given the right tools to thrive. I’ve received extensive training and certification in a range of innovative, effective, and evidence-based therapies to offer comprehensive care.
As a holistic psychotherapist, I believe it’s important to address the root cause of emotional and somatic suffering. As a trauma-trained therapist, I am influenced by humanist and existential philosophy, relational theory, attachment theory, psychoanalytic concepts, mindfulness, and somatic, mind, and body psychology. I have received extensive post-graduate training in EMDR Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Nutrition and Integrative Medicine For Mental Health, and more. In marriage and couple counseling, my work is influenced by the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
As neuroscience demonstrates, the brain can heal, and the body and mind are inextricably linked. My 20+ years of experience with mindfulness, yoga therapy, and meditation greatly influence my work as a mental health provider. A Holistic therapy model ensures that you thrive in the many aspects of your life—including your relationship with yourself and others. Together, we work with practices designed to create an environment that supports optimal physical and mental health well-being. Lasting change and transformation is possible when given the right tools to thrive.

talk therapy not enough? Find lasting Healing & Transformation with EMDR
If traditional talk therapy has not yielded the desired healing results, it might be time to consider a different model of care. I’ve been trained in many effective therapies, but I find myself consistently returning to EMDR. EMDR Therapy changed my practice years ago because it works and it changes lives. It is the one treatment method that is consistently powerful and transformative for my patients, especially when other highly effective therapies such as IFS, CBT, and Somatic Experiencing are integrated into sessions. Therapy is highly individualized, and depending on your unique needs, chosen therapy modalities may include: EMDR, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, CBT, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing®. I completed EMDRIA-approved EMDR advanced Levels I & II training and supervision many years ago and I’ve used it in my New York City psychotherapy private practice consistently and with excellent results.
EMDR therapy is highly effective in addressing underlying beliefs, patterns, and blocks that can hinder progress in traditional therapy or life coaching. EMDR treatment can help transform mere survival into thriving, leading to a life free from disruptive symptoms. By reprocessing difficult or traumatic memories, EMDR can boost resilience and vitality in the nervous system. EMDR is not only for trauma; it is also valuable for enhancing performance in athletes, creatives, and work-related endeavors. During the pandemic, many of us discovered that EMDR can be effectively offered to many patients virtually. Virtual EMDR can be a powerful addition to your therapy journey, whether used in conjunction with your existing therapy or as a standalone solution. learn more about EMDR Therapy

Expert, experienced Online Therapy Serving NYC & NY State Residents
faqs about online therapy in nYC: how does Virtual therapy/video therapy work?
The technology for telemedicine has been available for decades, but the pandemic made virtual therapy a necessity. It's surprising how many people have benefitted from online virtual therapy. Like many therapists in NYC, I've been conducting virtual sessions for some time, so I'm comfortable working with technology. It's important to note that teletherapy isn't suitable for everyone seeking counseling, as many people prefer conducting psychotherapy sessions in person.
How does Online therapy work?
This holistic psychotherapy and wellness practice in New York City understands that many people have busy schedules and may find it difficult to commute to therapy sessions. That's why I offer virtual therapy and telephone therapy as modern options for counseling. This is especially convenient for individuals who work, travel, have young children with different schedules, are young adults, college students, or expats. After scheduling an online session, you will receive a secure session link from the HIPAA-compliant platform SimplePractice. You can access the virtual therapy office using your computer, iOS/Android phone, iPad, or any other tablet-enabled device. Most laptops have a built-in camera and microphone, making it easy to participate in the sessions. Creating an emotionally safe space in your home or office for virtual sessions is also important, and all you need is a strong internet connection.
What kind of therapy is offered virtually?
Online sessions are treated the same way as face-to-face sessions, using the same evidence-based therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic psychotherapy, life coaching, wellness coaching, and stress management. Remote EMDR has been found to be just as effective for trauma resolution and other concerns as in-person EMDR. However, not everyone or every situation should be treated remotely, so it’s important to contact potential therapists to determine if virtual therapy is appropriate for your situation. Research now demonstrates that therapy sessions conducted by teletherapy are just as effective as face-to-face therapy. Read the research.
Who can benefit from virtual therapy?
Anyone can access high-quality therapy in a private, confidential, and convenient manner. Seeking therapy with an experienced NYC psychotherapist can lead to healthier relationships, new perspectives, reaching goals, and building resilience. Therapy can provide support during stressful and challenging times, helping you feel less alone with your problems. Living in New York City comes with unique challenges, including a fast-paced lifestyle and high levels of stress. If you're experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, loss, substance use, or unresolved trauma PTSD, know that you're not alone. Holistic Psychotherapy & Wellness Manhattan offers evidence-based counseling and an integrative psychotherapy philosophy tailored to your unique needs. As a licensed psychotherapist in New York, I can see you whether you live in the NYC metro area or anywhere in New York State. There are various modern therapy options available, such as BetterHelp, TalkSpace, and the numerous licensed psychotherapists and psychologists on Psychology Today who provide high-quality therapy in the US and worldwide. Interested in receiving therapy in New York using your health insurance benefits? Holistic Psychotherapy & Wellness Manhattan is In-Network with BCBS & Aetna, and Out-of-Network with most health insurances. I have also been reimbursed by Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, Emblem, Oxford, United, and many more for out-of-network mental health services. Most of my clients are compensated about 50-100% of my fees.
