Click the “Schedule a Consultation” button anywhere on the site to get started. You’ll choose the therapist you'd like to meet with, answer a few quick questions, and select a consultation time that works for you.

Your first full session will be a chance to talk more deeply about what brings you in and what you're hoping for from therapy. Your therapist will guide the conversation and help you feel comfortable — there's no need to prepare anything.

Most clients come once a week. Some people may come more or less often depending on their goals and availability — your therapist will collaborate with you to find what works best.

We are not a crisis center and may not be the right fit for clients experiencing active suicidality, psychosis, or severe symptoms that require more intensive support. If you're in crisis, please call 988 or visit your nearest emergency room.
If you’re an NYU student, NYU offers a Wellness Exchange Crisis Hotline exclusively for NYU students 212-443-9999.

A third space is a concept from sociology — a space outside of home and work where connection and growth happen. In therapy, we think of the third space as the unique relationship between therapist and client: a collaborative, creative space for reflection and change.
