Welcome to Aspire Psychotherapy

We are a team of clinical psychologists and social workers that provide affirmative therapy for all individuals. We focus on creating safe spaces to facilitate healing while encouraging our clients to take committed action towards the lives they crave. Our approach to therapy is grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure Therapy. These approaches have a profound impact on individuals navigating anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, phobias and more. Using measurement based care and tailored assessments our approach to mental health care captures not only the ways in which you feel better, but objective data about how your symptoms are improving in response to treatment. Our Psychological Testing and Evaluation services help our patients accurately identify ADHD, Autism, giftedness and more to help inform treatment planning and/or support in school or at work.

We are currently accepting new clients for psychotherapy & psychological testing in NY and NJ.

  • Anxiety & Stress Management

    The opposite of anxiety isn’t calm - it’s safety. Our patients come to us seeking relief from anxiety, overthinking and overwhelm. Working with a therapist at Aspire Psychotherapy can help create a space to safely process your experiences and learn concrete tools to decrease anxiety or panic and increase that confidence.

    Currently accepting new patients for virtual and in-person work in NYC and Upstate NY.

  • Upstate NY Office Location

    Starting January 2024, Aspire Psychotherapy extended our services to Upstate NY by opening our in-person office in Stone Ridge, NY. By expanding our services outside of Manhattan, we hope to bridge a critical gap between folx that need care, and quality + passionate clinicians. Available for psychological testing, psychotherapy and biofeedback.
