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.

Asking for help and finding safety with support is not easy, and I honor the courage it takes to begin.

Robert dos Santos Teixeira
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, SMF, MPIA, MA, MSW, LCSW
When you lose the little self, you find the bigger Self. You are the Light Who shines through the eyes: You are Ancient, Eternal, Infinite, One, and Unchanging Light. My job is to help you step out of the little self (the flesh-and-blood self), which is experiencing the pain of addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, etc., and into Who You really are. As a result, you will gain observer consciousness, which offers freedom, healing, transformation, and ultimately awakening.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, self-worth, trauma, or life transitions—this is a space where your whole self is welcome.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about coming home to yourself. And from that place, building deeper, more meaningful connections in every area of your life.

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!

Washington Heights is upper Manhattan's Dominican heart, a dense, vibrant neighborhood of multigenerational families, small businesses, and strong cultural identity, increasingly touched by gentrification pressure. Mental health needs include immigrant and bicultural family dynamics, economic strain, and demand for Spanish-language care — which the neighborhood is comparatively well positioned to meet, anchored by NewYork-Presbyterian's medical campus and Columbia's community-facing programs. The city's wider therapy market adds depth for those who can access it.
