City Mental Health Counseling

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a licensed therapist and passionate advocate for mental health equity, I founded CMHC with a clear mission: to create an affirming, inclusive, and culturally diverse space where LGBTQ+ individuals and people from all backgrounds can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My journey into therapy was shaped by both personal experience and a professional calling—recognizing the deep need for compassionate, identity-affirming care in communities that have too often been marginalized or overlooked.

New York City, New York therapist: Alan Jacobson, Psy.D., psychologist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

New York City, New York therapist: Dr. Erica Gardner-Schuster, psychologist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Dr. Erica Gardner-Schuster

Psychologist, PhD
I am a specialized trauma- & attachment-oriented group therapist committed to helping adults heal, grow and cultivate more fulfilling relationships and lives. In my groups, healing happens in the context of a safe therapeutic community of fellow travelers who can relate, help each other feel less alone, and support one another in making the changes needed to get more out of life. I also use a liberation psychology lens to help group members explore the intersection of cultural and identify factors and mental health and feel more confident and empowered in their lives. Group therapy can help you find deeper meaning and connection through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). By helping you bring your full authentic self into connection, Group can help you transcend loneliness to find more fulfilling relationships. Group can help you lean into your life with more courage, compassion and vulnerability. Group can support your unique journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.

Manhattan, New York therapist: Alvina Anantram, counselor/therapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Alvina Anantram

Counselor/Therapist, M.A., LMHC
Hi, I’m Alvina! I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, relationship insecurity, low self-esteem, and patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or emotional dependence on others for reassurance and validation. Many of my clients feel unchosen in relationships, become anxious around communication or connection, and over-extend themselves to feel worthy or secure. While these patterns may be familiar, they can still feel difficult to shift. In therapy, we go beyond coping strategies and surface-level insight. We explore the root of relationship anxiety and attachment patterns, helping you develop emotional grounding, self-trust, and a more secure sense of self. This deeper work supports lasting change — allowing you to relate to yourself and others with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional stability. If you’re looking for therapy that addresses the ‘why’ beneath your patterns and supports meaningful, long-term change, I invite you to send me a message today to get started!
