Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating anxiety disorders. My professional background spans hospital settings, private practice, and service as a medical officer in the U.S. Army, where I gained extensive experience addressing a wide range of mental health challenges. I have refined my skills in evidence-based treatments for anxiety, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), through advanced training in leading military treatment facilities and reknowned private practices.
These experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of the complexities of anxiety and a strong commitment to delivering personalized, effective care. My goal is to help you break free from the grip of anxiety, improve your emotional well-being, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life. Together, we’ll develop a therapeutic approach tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I help children, teens, and young adults manage anxiety, phobias, and fears using evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy. These treatments are designed to gradually build confidence and reduce avoidance by helping individuals face their fears in manageable, supportive steps. I also work closely with parents using SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), a parent-based approach that empowers families to respond in ways that reduce anxiety over time, even if the child is not ready for therapy themselves. Whether the anxiety shows up as school refusal, separation issues, health fears, or specific phobias, I tailor support to each family’s needs with compassion and clarity.

Matthew Heintz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety, worries, fears, and those feelings that can make us run or freeze can feel impossible to change. I work with clients to create space from these intense feelings, to look at them with curiosity rather fear or resentment. My clients develop skills to respond to their anxiety rather than reacting to it, they learn when the fear is valid and can be acted on and when it is not. Therapy helps them act as the people they want to be without the limitations anxiety can put on them.

Who wants to feel better?
You, or else you wouldn't be looking at psychotherapists websites. But wait, there's more...maybe you're not sure you can feel better. Maybe you've never been to a psychotherapist before & this is all new to you or was something that "other people" did.

I will teach you that you create your fears and anxieties. You hold rigid attitudes like "I need certainty, guarantees and approval" which underpin your anxiety. You can examine these attitudes and adopt healthier attitudes which will lead you to have healthy feelings of concern which will enable you to face uncertainty and the possibility of disapproval without fear and anxiety.

Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
Everyone experiences anxiety, depression, or fear from time to time. But when self-critical thoughts and self-defeating patterns of behavior begin to dominate, simply getting through the day can feel overwhelming.
The first step in overcoming these challenges is becoming familiar with your personal triggers. Psychotherapy can support you in this process, helping you feel less anxious and stressed. It also enables you to develop healthier coping mechanisms and create lasting relief.

Manhattan is one of the most therapist-dense places in the world, with independent practices concentrated on the Upper West Side, in Chelsea, Midtown, and the East Village, serving an extraordinarily high per-capita demand for mental health care. The borough's concentration of finance, media, law, and healthcare professionals generates consistent demand for therapists experienced with high-stakes careers, perfectionism, and the emotional costs of extreme professional ambition. Manhattan also serves as the entry point for many immigrants from Latin America, Southeast Asia, and West Africa, and multilingual therapists make up a significant portion of the local clinical community. Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone, and numerous academic training clinics provide institutional anchors and training pipelines for the borough's large private practice ecosystem.
