Therapy in New York City

Finding the right therapist in New York City shouldn’t feel overwhelming—but unfortunately, it can without adequate support. At ParityWell, we specialize in therapy for adults navigating all kinds of life challenges, including helping you find the right therapist. If we’re not the right fit for you, we’ll help connect you with someone who is, because we believe getting the help you need should never be a barrier.

Whether you’re navigating relationship issues, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD, Autism, or a major life transition, our therapists bring deep expertise so you’re not starting from scratch explaining yourself.

We're a team of specialists who understand that effective care starts with respecting your experiences and each person’s unique needs. 

Our therapists use adapted evidence-based approaches, including psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), modified Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), executive function coaching, and hybrid therapy systems. 

Our NYC-based therapists work with you collaboratively, tailoring treatment to your goals, needs, and identity. ParityWell offers in-person therapy in NYC—right across from Central Park at Columbus Circle, as well as online therapy across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, so you can access support in the way that works best for you.

Why New Yorkers Choose ParityWell

New York City comes with its own particular pressures: the pace, the cost of living, the relentless demands on your time and energy. Our therapists understand what it means to live and work in this city, and they bring that understanding into every session.

  • Evidence-based care: We use proven therapies including CBT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy and trauma-informed approaches.

  • In-person and online: See a therapist at our NYC office in Manhattan or meet virtually from anywhere in New York City. We serve clients across all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx.

  • Specialized expertise: From trauma and OCD to ADHD and autism, our NYC therapists are trained in the areas that matter most to you.

  • Practice built on Parity: ParityWell was founded on the belief that people with complex mental health needs deserve parity—equal access to effective, personalized treatment tailored to their unique needs.

In-Person Therapy in NYC & Online 

ParityWell offers both in-person therapy at our New York City office and secure online therapy sessions for adults across New York State, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 

Online therapy is just as effective as in-person for most concerns. And for many people, it’s easier to fit into a demanding NYC schedule. Whether you prefer to visit our Manhattan office on your lunch break or after work  or to connect from home, we’ll make it work. 

For our in-person therapy option, we are located by Columbus Circle at the southeastern corner of Central Park.

Neuropsychological Assessments 

ParityWell offers neuropsychological assessments that are both targeted for Autism or ADHD and comprehensive in scope. Our clients are typically adults who have spent years reflecting on themselves while lacking tailored support, including adapted therapy, since childhood. 

Our comprehensive assessments can support obtaining workplace accommodations, identifying the most appropriate therapy or medication class, and, most importantly, help you and your therapist understand your unique needs, guiding the next steps in your treatment journey.
