Amy Merbaum Althoff
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA in Psychoanalysis
Life can be hard to manage. If you're dealing with relationship issues, work stress, or the pressures of everyday life, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can work together. We'll look at patterns that keep holding you back and build practical tools to help you create the life you want.
Beyond seeing individual clients, I also work with couples and groups, and I supervise other therapists and trainees in their clinical work.
I'm faculty and a Board member at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies (CMPS), a leading graduate institute in New York and the only one offering a Master's Degree in Psychoanalysis.
Whether you're looking for short-term support or long-term work, you'll find a welcoming, inclusive environment here.

Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I serve in leadership and teaching roles at NYU, where I teach the next generation of psychiatrists and work at the intersection of college mental health and academic medicine. My practice focuses on high-achieving professionals and students navigating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perfectionism, and identity development. I created my private practice space, The Light Room, to be decidedly different from traditional psychiatric practices — care that's evidence-based yet deeply human, personalized, accessible, and responsive.
I specialize in integrating psychotherapy with medication management to offer a truly comprehensive treatment approach.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!

Online in Harlem, NY (Online Only)
Harlem is the historic capital of Black American culture, a Manhattan neighborhood whose churches, music, and institutions shaped a century of American life, now navigating intense gentrification alongside enduring community strength. Mental health needs include racial stress and historical trauma, economic displacement pressure, and a legacy of historically rooted caution toward medical institutions — met by strong community organizations and a growing cohort of Black therapists in the city. Harlem Hospital, community health networks, and NYC's broad market provide care.
