Daniel Pagano
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC
Asking for help and finding safety with support is not easy, and I honor the courage it takes to begin. I offer a deeply caring and engaged relationship where you can expect a warm, non-judgmental place to freely express yourself, making the process of psychotherapy feel less intimidating. Our work together is a sacred, collaborative journey into the depths of your psyche, compassionately exploring unconscious patterns and shadow aspects to align you with your authentic Self and foster true spiritual wholeness.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Have you made time and space for you today? Most of us haven't—and therapy isn't the only way to do it. Consider Holistic Life Coaching instead. As a certified professional coach, I am here to encourage you to take a breath, take a beat to consider who you are, where you are, and if you are feeling satisfaction in your own success. If you aren't, I invite you to have a conversation with yourself about what can be done differently—allow me to moderate that conversation. Together we can help you live into your own definition of success and begin to feel it deeply. To breathe it in and live.

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!

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.
