New York State
Therapy on Staten Island
Six months on, everyone around you has quietly moved to the next topic, and you're still awake at four in the morning running the same conversation. The calendar moved. You haven't, not yet.
Working together from Staten Island
How this actually works
There is no office on Staten Island, and no travel involved — sessions are telehealth, with you physically located in New York State at the time. During a separation that matters more than it sounds, because the therapy hour then doesn't depend on a car, a commute, or somebody else's calendar. Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly. If you've moved out, moved back in, or are doing both on alternate weeks, the session doesn't have to move with you.
I don’t have an office there. Weekly therapy is telehealth, and you need to be physically located in New York State at the time of each session.
Why people get in touch
What brings people here
Grief that doesn't look like grief
Breakups get less room than other losses, so the feeling often arrives sideways: as thin sleep, as a short fuse, as hours of scrolling. Calling it loss is closer to what it is. That doesn't speed it up.
The pattern outlasts the person
Often there are two problems layered together — this ending, and the older template underneath it that made this ending land the way it did. Attachment work, Internal Family Systems, and somatic and experiential psychotherapy are routes into the second one. Therapy outcomes are not guaranteed.
Not a legal process
Therapy is not legal advice and has nothing to say about your settlement, your custody arrangement, or your attorney's strategy. What it can do is give you somewhere to put the feelings that don't belong in an email to the other side.
FAQ
Questions from Staten Island
Is there an office on Staten Island?
No, there isn't. Weekly therapy takes place via telehealth. I am licensed in New York and can only offer psychotherapy services to people who reside in New York State. You also need to be physically located in the state at the time of each session.
Could my ex and I come in together to end things well?
No. All therapy here is individual and I don't see couples. This is a place to work on your side of it.
It's been two years. Is it too late to still be upset?
No. The part that actually hurt sometimes only surfaces long after the paperwork was done. There's no expiry date on this.
What if it gets darker than that?
If you are in danger right now, call or text 988 or dial 911. This site isn't a crisis service and email is not monitored for emergencies. Heartbreak can get heavy enough to need more than a weekly hour, and I'd rather name that than skirt it.
How does this begin?
With a free 15 to 20 minute call, video or phone, nothing owed at the end of it. Then 50-minute sessions at $235, usually weekly. Every insurance plan is out-of-network here, and a monthly superbill is provided for you to submit, though reimbursement is never guaranteed.
