Anxiety Therapy in NYC

Living with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), or anxiety disorders can feel overwhelming and isolating. Obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, or anxiety can interfere with your daily life, relationships, and self-esteem.

Reaching out to a compassionate, experienced therapist is the first step toward relief, understanding, and lasting change. Therapy can provide you with the tools to manage obsessive thoughts, reduce compulsive behaviors, improve emotional regulation, and rebuild confidence. You don’t have to face these challenges alone—help is available, and taking action now can begin your journey toward healing.

What to Expect in Your First Session

During your initial session, we will:

  • Explore the symptoms and challenges you are experiencing.

  • Discuss your therapy goals and expectations.

  • Introduce evidence-based strategies to begin managing obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and anxiety.

  • Create a tailored plan to support your healing and long-term mental wellness.

Taking this first step can feel vulnerable, but it’s also empowering. Many clients find that just reaching out for help provides relief and hope that change is possible.
