Kirsten Lentz PhD, LCSW
Psychotherapy alleviates suffering and expands your capacity to live a fulfilling life. It helps you to build stronger relationships, find satisfaction in work, be more creative, and achieve your life's goals. Good psychotherapy works through collaboration; we work together to understand your experiences, memories and relationships in order to create openings for change.
My practice is diverse across race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and age. I believe that therapists must be sensitive to social issues and must bring into treatment an understanding of the suffering and trauma caused by marginalization.
I am a graduate of the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. My approach is psychoanalytic, but also is highly individualized. In my work, I adapt myself to the unique needs of each person.
Suffering takes many forms. I have helped people overcome a variety of difficulties, including depression, anxiety and panic, trauma, grief, life and health crises, eating disorders, body image issues, self-harm, fertility problems, family/relationship conflicts, and impulsive behavior. I am a warm & relatable person. I bring that to my work with others.
I have extensive experience in the treatment of trauma. I publish on issues of sexuality/gender and often work with the LGBTQIA community.
Please note that I am not in network with any insurance companies. If you have out of network benefits, however, you can submit for reimbursement from your insurance provider. I'm happy to help with this.
I offer a sliding fee scale and serve people across the economic spectrum. However, I have no spots available at the current time for patients who need significantly reduced fees. See below for details.
For new patients, I require a phone call before we meet in person, so after you've made an appointment here, please call me at 212-414-2719 so that we can have a free, brief phone consultation. Thanks.

Kirsten has been a thoughtful, long-term partner in helping manage my mental health and wellbeing over the years. Through both life-changing events and daily stress management, she has provided informed and supportive guidance, given me tools to advance my own self-understanding, and patiently encouraged, and constructively challenged, my perspectives within my treatment. I trust her expertise and perspective, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking an experienced, caring, and professional mental health expert.
MLVerified patient
I have worked through a number of very important and/or difficult moments in life in my work with Kirsten over many years. I trust her and would recommend her highly for her expertise but also for her really caring and empathetic way of working with her patients.
ZLVerified patient
Kirsten is an extraordinary therapist. Working with her has changed me from the inside out. Her tender and deep listening — which I’d never experienced before — has helped me more lovingly listen to myself. What a revelation, to begin to hear, feel and trust my own voice! And then gradually dream a new life into existence. She is exquisitely kind, patient, and insightful — I feel very lucky to have found her.
EAVerified patient
I worked with Kirsten for many years, and she helped me through some really tough times. She was kind, professional, and patient. I can honestly say I don't think I'd be as happy now if it weren't for her help.
RGVerified patient
Dr. Lentz has been a transformational force in my life. She has helped me through some very complex trauma and always approaches the work with compassion. I have loved working with Dr. Lentz and am so grateful for her guidance.
SSVerified patient
Dr. Lentz is a total lifesaver. She is highly perceptive, incredibly smart, and very empathetic. The last few years have not been an easy time for anyone I know, but her calm, thoughtful approach got me through some really tough times recently. I can not recommend her highly enough.
HCVerified patient
I have been seeing Kirsten Lentz for almost 9 years. During that time she has been caring, thoughtful, insightful, and dedicated to sustaining my mental health. I have always been comfortable sharing with Kirsten, as she maintains a non-judgmental space. Her true gift is helping to guide you to shift your perspective on thoughts, feelings, and experiences so that you can come to terms with them in a non-threatening way and begin the healing process. She is quite skilled at working through the effects of long-term trauma, having helped me to recognize and defuse triggers. Kirsten is also especially sensitive to queer people, being well attuned to how larger cultural biases impact how we live in this world and how to cope and manage with those oppressive forces. My work with Kirsten has changed my life, made me a stronger person, and helped me to come to terms with the psychological issues that have haunted me throughout my life. I highly recommend her.
