“Dr Kantor is clearly an experienced and seasoned therapist. She has a calmness and focus about her that I can only assume takes years of being a practicing therapist to get to. She is very good in helping you slowly navigate to a place where you can gain an awareness of your own self, emotions, and behaviors. I highly recommend her.

Getting to know Dr. Eva Kantor
I have found that relationships are where people experience the greatest difficulty in their lives. In therapy, we have an opportunity to identify repetitive patterns and assumptions that interfere with starting and maintaining a satisfying relationship. I use an analytically informed approach, believing that past experiences affect present life, while maintaining a focus on the person’s present life and interactions; I also use the relationship between patient and therapist as a valuable source of information. Additionally, I see many people who come in with anxiety or depression that they recognize is out of proportion to their circumstances and seems to have no apparent source. I also work with people burdened by issues that make it difficult to reach compromises with others. With over 30 years of private practice experience, I have been a therapist to many people, resolving issues such as low self-esteem, difficulty coping with stress, self-sabotage, lack of confidence, problems with aging, as well as numerous other important mental health matters.
With patient and therapist working together, developing trust, the patient may allow him or herself to reflect on thoughts that have been too difficult to face alone. Often, people experience feelings they don’t even know how to identify, as they’ve never had someone to teach them what a feeling represents. We work together to develop the person’s internal resources, as life always presents difficulties; it is our capacity to cope with these challenges that makes a difference.
I bring a blend of warmth and intellectual energy to my work, seeing each person as unique. I also teach psychology interns and psychiatry residents at Mt. Sinai Hospital and supervise at two psychoanalytic training institutes. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Boston University, a Certificate in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis from New York University, and a Bachelor’s degree from Columbia University.

Dr. Kantor is great. The sessions are very thorough and her insight has guided me through a difficult part of my life. This is my first time receiving therapy and I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a helping ear. Will continue on with weekly sessions.

Dr. Kantor has been amazing. Since my first appointment (date provided—- present) over a year ago, she’s been working with me on managing my anxiety and my depression. I feel that I have made some wonderful progress due to her careful listening and the questions she poses to me each week. Dr. Kantor was also very helpful in putting me in contact with a colleague of hers when I expressed that I wanted to explore the possibility of going on anti anxiety medication, and then was there for me during that entire process. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Kantor’s services, my well being has drastically improved since I began seeing her each week.

I actually was a patient with Dr. Kantor for almost three years. It was a really tough time in my life, so I needed a therapist with a lot of compassion.
Dr. Kantor delivered that in spades. She helped me analyze different patterns throughout my life, as well as recognize the feelings that I had in any given situation.
After our time together, I can honestly say that I'm in a better place and I have the tools to move forward with confidence in my ability to handle any given situation.

Dr. Kantor made me feel comfortable and safe. She listened closely to my thoughts and feelings and was very careful to properly articulate her own thoughts and analysis about what she heard. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a psychologist in New York City.
June 15, 2016Kevin B.Verified patient
I felt both anxious and helpless until I started seeing Dr. Kantor. She has been a great help.
In just very few sessions, Dr. Kantor was able to offer insights and identify problems that I was not able to understand/see by myself.
The biggest concern that I initially had with therapies was the possibility that even psychologists cannot help me with my problems. I do not wish to have a deeper sense of helplessness.
I am very glad I gave it a try. Going to see her is one of the best decisions I ever made.
Dr. Kantor is wise, calm and amicable; she lets you speak your mind freely. She was also able to make me think more rationally when I was too immersed in my pain to speak logically.
She also helped me rebuild my confidence, a task that required meticulous attention.
As an experienced psychologist, Dr. Kantor was very professional. She never once accidentally made me feel helpless, a task that I know only the best and experienced therapist can accomplish. She consistently gave me hope, a progress that was accomplished by her careful choice of words and her sincere will to help me.
She's helping me recover at a very comfortable speed.
If you happen to find yourself in despair or panic, or if you need to rebuild your life, seeing Dr. Kantor would definitely be very helpful. I appreciate her help greatly.

Being new to NY I decided to find a therapist using ZocDoc because I found other good specialist thru them. I came in feeling nervous about all the pressure I've been under Dr. Kantor has a calm, confident manner while being warm and sympathetic so it was easy to talk to her and not feel judged.

I feel lucky to have found Dr. Kantor. I didn't know what to expect but she made me feel I could talk to her about my problems. She is warm and insightful and easy to talk to. Sometimes I think I don't have anything special to talk about but in a few minutes I bring up things I am worried about that I would have forgotten to talk about. I think that is because of the feeling she creates in the room.

Dr. Kantor is warm and empathetic and thoroughly professional. She obviously has many years of experience with people and their problems. I've seen changes in how I feel and don't feel so anxious anymore.

Although I've been in therapy before, this is a different kind of experience. I am learning things I never though about before and thinking about things I've thought about before, in a new way that's much more meaningful.
