ALL ABOUT THERAPY AT THE COLLECTIVE

We believe therapy isn’t just for when everything falls apart, it’s also for figuring things out before you hit rock bottom.

WHO WE HELP

You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy.

We work with Millennial and Gen Z New Yorkers navigating…

Self-Worth + Identity Work

—you’re great at showing up for others and now it’s time to show up for you.

Dating + Relationships

—you’re looking to understand those patterns that are no serving you.

Career + Burnout

—you’re unfulfilled, overwhelmed, or “stuck” at work. Let’s navigate it together.

Anxiety + Overthinking

—your brain never shuts up. We help you quiet (and understand) the noise.

Family Dynamics

—you love them and they drive you up a wall. We help you navigate both

People Pleasing

—you say yes when you really mean no and it’s starting to wear you down.

Life Transitions

—from graduations to job changes to major moves or losses, let’s process what’s shifting and find your footing.

Perfectionism

—you hold yourself to impossibly high standards and even your wins don’t feel like enough. Let’s unpack.

HOW WE WORK

We tailor therapy to you.

Our approach blends depth and practicality. We’ll meet you wherever you are—whether you want to go deep, stay present-focused, or find actionable tools to get unstuck.

The goal? To help you understand yourself better, break the cycles that aren’t serving you, and build a life that actually feels good.

Here’s a glimpse of what we pull from:

  • (aka connecting the dots between your past & present)

    Ever wondered why the same patterns keep showing up in your relationships, career, or daily life? Psychodynamic therapy helps you understand how your past experiences shape your present patterns—so you can finally break free from cycles that no longer serve you.


    Best for: Relationship patterns, self-sabotage, attachment styles, unresolved emotional wounds.

  • (because how we connect with others matters)

    Your relationships—with family, friends, partners—play a huge role in your mental health. Relational therapy helps you explore how you show up in relationships, what you need, and how to set healthier boundaries without guilt.


    Best for: Dating struggles, family conflict, communication issues, emotional intimacy.

  • (aka recognizing that it's not just you)

    It’s not all in your head. Feminist therapy explores how social, cultural, and systemic factors impact your mental health. It helps you challenge societal pressures, dismantle internalized expectations, and reclaim your voice. Your therapist works with you as an equal partner, supporting you in defining your own narrative.

    Best for: Boundary-setting, body image issues, navigating gender roles, processing oppression or discrimination.

  • (aka challenging the thought spiral)

    CBT helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns that keep you feeling stuck. By learning to reframe your thoughts and adjust unhelpful behaviors, you can create more balanced and empowering responses to life’s challenges.

    Best for: Anxiety, depression, stress, overthinking, perfectionism.

  • (when you need clarity, fast)

    Sometimes, you don’t need to dig into childhood wounds—you just need a next step. Solution-focused therapy is all about practical strategies to help you navigate what’s in front of you right now.


    Best for: Overwhelm, decision-making, stress management, career shifts, problem-solving.

  • (for trauma, anxiety & emotional wounds that won’t let go)

    If certain memories, experiences, or feelings still feel heavy, overwhelming, or “stuck,” EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain reprocess and release them—without having to relive the pain. It’s like decluttering your mind so you can move forward with less emotional weight.

    Best for: Trauma, PTSD, negative self-talk, relationship wounds, anxiety, processing painful experiences.

  • (because we all have different “parts” of ourselves)

    Ever feel like part of you is confident and driven, while another part is full of self-doubt? IFS helps you understand and balance the different “parts” of yourself—like the overachiever, the anxious one, or the part that just wants to be loved. Instead of fighting yourself, you learn how to work with yourself.


    Best for: Self-sabotage, anxiety, inner conflict, self-compassion, understanding emotions.

What We Work On Together

  • Anxiety + Overthinking

    Your brain’s running a mile a minute and you’re emotionally exhausted. Let’s slow it down.

  • Dating, Love + Attachment

    Ghosting, situationships, attachment styles, in-laws—yeah, we’ve been there. Let’s talk through it.

  • Burnout + Perfectionism

    You’re always “on,” but it’s draining. Let’s redefine success without self-sacrifice.

  • Big Life Transitions

    Career pivots, breakups, quarter-life crises, identity shifts—we help you move through the messy middle.

  • Family + Generational Patterns

    You love your people… and they stress you out. We’ll help you break cycles, not connections.

  • Healing from Trauma

    Using EMDR and deep processing work, we’ll help you heal without having to relive it all.

  • Sleep + Mental Health

    Because doomscrolling at 2AM isn’t sustainable. We’ll help you feel more rested, inside and out.

OUR TEAM

We know that the best therapy happens when you feel truly understood, supported, and challenged in the right ways.

That’s why we take the time to match you with a therapist who fits your needs, personality, and goals—whether you’re looking for deep insight, practical tools, or a little of both.

We’re here to help you untangle the overthinking, navigate relationships, and actually feel good about yourself. Whenever you’re ready, we’re here.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Frequently asked questions

  • If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need a space to process emotions, therapy can help. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit—many clients come to better understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns, and build a more fulfilling life.

    If you’re unsure, we can talk about it in a consultation and help guide you toward the best next step.

  • We are out-of-network providers, meaning we don’t accept insurance directly, but many clients receive partial reimbursement from their insurance companies. We can provide you with a superbill (an invoice for services) that you can submit for potential reimbursement.

    We recommend checking with your insurance provider about your out-of-network benefits.

  • Yes! We believe therapy should be accessible. We offer short-term  sliding scale options based on need, and our Clinical Fellows provide therapy at a reduced rate. If cost is a concern, reach out—we’ll do our best to find a rate that works for you.

  • We ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel a session.

    • If you cancel with 48+ hours’ notice: No charge.

    • If you cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice but can reschedule within the same week, no fee applies.

    • If you cancel late and don’t reschedule, or miss the session entirely, you’ll be charged the full session fee.

    No-shows (aka not showing up without notice) are always charged in full—even if you later reschedule.

  • You can book a free consultation or reach out with any questions—no pressure, no commitment. Just a conversation to see what feels right for you.
