Talk to Our Intake Team

Individual Therapy

Weekly sessions for adults, adolescents and children. Goal-oriented and structured, with a clear sense of what you’re working toward and how you’ll know it’s working.

Couples & Family Therapy

Support across dating, marriage, long-term partnership, separation and divorce — including communication, trust, intimacy and decision-making.

Intensive Outpatient Therapy

A structured, immersive program for adults, adolescents and children who need more than weekly therapy. Individually designed rather than one-size-fits-all.

Group Therapy

DBT and OCD groups, in person and virtual. Ninety-minute weekly sessions. DBT groups move sequentially through mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Evidence-based, and specific about it

Every clinician on our team has advanced training in established, well-researched treatment modalities. That means your care follows a method with a track record, not whatever the therapist happens to prefer.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT and Exposure Therapy to help reduce anxiety and depression. For those who need help creating change, now.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress and strengthening relationships.

Trauma-Based Therapies

An integrative approach using trauma informed care including somatic work, DBT PE and TF CBT

Couples and Family Therapy

Through guidance, insight, communication, and conflict resolution, we help couples and families navigate challenges with greater empathy, clarity, and connection.

what people are saying

"Aliza was beyond extraordinary. She is incredibly knowledgeable in her area of expertise and is someone who has done and does the work. She has a way of always asking the right questions to help me see the areas in my life I was avoiding. She helped me face them head on and supported me along the way. She was understanding, honest, kind, real, and comforting. If there is anyone I know and or love that is looking for some help, I send them to Aliza every time. I can't thank her enough for the impact she had on me and my life. I will forever be grateful."

what people are saying

"I can't say enough positive things about Nikki and how much she's helped me in the short time I've been seeing her. I've been a client of hers for a little over a year and in that time she's helped me overcome several challenges, including tackling a difficult, but necessary move, advocating for myself at work and setting boundaries in my personal relationships. I tried several therapists before Nikki, but no one has helped me as much as she has. She was quick to get me in for my first appointment, has been kind and patient with me and has been a wonderful, supportive presence in my life. I wouldn't be where I am today without her!"

what people are saying

"Janna is an exceptional therapist. She knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable and secure right from the get-go. It feels seamlessly easy to open up to her and build a trusting relationship with her. She has helped me improve so much as a friend, family member, and coworker, and I look forward to continuing to work with her for hopefully a long time to come."

what people are saying

"Aliza helped me win back parts of my life that I had temporarily lost to anxiety and panic attacks. Real change is rarely easy. It typically requires patience, compassion, determination, and vulnerability. Aliza provided me with the framework for real change, and guided me throughout the journey. It has been my great fortune to have been able to work together."

what people are saying

"Marcy is a phenomenal practitioner. She is completely non-judgmental. She holds space in a way that is simultaneously comforting and lovingly challenging. Every time I talk to Marcy, I emerge feeling more like myself and happier with who that self is. Since working with Marcy, I have noticed my anxiety is significantly decreased and my general sense of stability has increased. I feel more connected to my joy and better able to cope with the inevitable difficult moments in life. Thank you, Marcy, for your unwavering support!"

what people are saying

"Aliza helped me embrace my own humanity. She creates a safe space to feel your feelings, big or small. Her use of dialectics is wildly empowering. Working with her has allowed me to grow and heal exponentially as a person. She has helped me in all areas of my life. I am a better leader, romantic partner, business owner, daughter, sister because of the work we’ve done together. I recommend her to everyone I know."

what people are saying

"We have had a really difficult time finding a therapist for my teenage daughter, and I am so glad that we finally found Therapy In The City. My daughter is extremely shy and has a hard time opening up with anyone, the idea of therapy was definitely overwhelming for her. I can see the positive impact therapy has had on my daughter, she is able to articulate and navigate her emotions and this has positively impacted our family and her relationships."

How quickly can I be seen?
