Hi, I’m Robyn Stern — Providing Anxiety, BDD, and OCD Therapy in NYC
Starting therapy can feel daunting. You may struggle with self-doubt, fear of being judged, or worry that your problems aren’t “bad enough.” You might feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or compulsive behaviors that consume your time, drain your energy, and make everyday life feel overwhelming.
Anxiety, OCD, BFRBs, and BDD are pervasive conditions that can quietly take over—leading to constant overthinking, avoidance, shame, and a sense of being disconnected from yourself and others. These struggles can leave you feeling isolated, exhausted, and unsure how to move forward.
I’ve been through my own treatment and recovery from Anxiety and Body Dysmorphic Disorder, so when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to quiet your mind, you’re not alone. Because I’ve walked this path myself, I can meet you with genuine understanding, practical support, and steady hope that relief and healing are possible for you.
Therapy is your space to break free from unhelpful patterns, learn effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. With the right evidence-based care, healing is possible—and I will be with you every step of the way.
