WPVerified patient
I found Marcela after losing my father and she help me so much!!! She is a good listener and she always send me resources to help me in each area of my life that she knows I was in need. I really I appreciate it Marcela so
Much she is as a great professional.
ABVerified patient
I can't speak highly enough of Marcela. From the moment I met her she put me at ease. She is warm, knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. I so look forward to our sessions. I've gained so much insight and she's inspired me, helped me gain confidence and given me hope. I wholeheartedly recommend her!
VSVerified patient
Marcela is kind, honest, professional, and well-informed about how to care for her clients. She never makes me feel like her approach is "one size fits all"; rather, she listens intently, takes highly specific notes, and maximizes our time by circling back on recurring themes or issues that she's noticing patterns in, which is helping to amplify my own self-awareness and connection within. I am supremely lucky to have found myself in treatment with Marcela, and I give her my highest endorsement.
MHVerified patient
Marcela was always professional and modeled fairness as well as kindness throughout all our sessions. She made my husband and I both feel heard and assisted us in problem-solving through issues we otherwise could not resolve alone. Her guidance and advices are everlasting. My husband and I still use the skills she taught us, which has been keeping our marriage healthy. There's no doubt should we encounter another issue, before questioning the end of our marriage, we would much rather return for Marcela's services to help us continue our life together.
MVVerified patient
Siendo la peimera vez que le hablo a un terapeuta, Marcela me hiso sentir muy comodo imediatamente. Aparte de ser super amable, tambien es bilingue, que alluda mucho al expresarme.
LTVerified patient
Marcela is very patience and attentive. She’s been fiery flexible and understanding of life’s happenings. She’s a great listener and has very insightful advice for whatever situation you’re dealing with. She’s also bilingual which makes our sessions more rounded. She’s understanding and has experience with issues particularly immigrant people or those experiencing diaspora.
Marcela es paciente y atenta. Es muy fácil hablar con ella. Sus consejos son muy buenos y al punto. La recomiendo de seguro.

For a blk man who can't find a blk therapist, it is hard but Daniel has made it easy to communicate. It acknowledge he isn't blk, he does not know those inner struggles, but he wants to hear them and help me work them out.

I had a lot of trouble finding someone in the city that I enjoyed speaking to and actually felt like I was heard. Super grateful to have met Dr. Ascani, who treats me like more than just another client!
NDVerified patient
Dr. Ascani is a talented therapist. We saw him for couples counseling and in just a few sessions he was able to help us recognize and address the issues we were struggling to get through. We feel more connected and have a better understanding of each other’s feelings. I strongly recommend him and will definitely contact him again if we hit a rough patch.
TDVerified patient
Daniele Ascani is an excellent therapist. He is kind, patient and interactive. In a very short time period, he has helped me to become more aware of my thoughts and feelings, and has provided me with various tools to more positively reframe my thinking. Daniele is an advocate for mental health insurance, and went above and beyond in order to access the most comprehensive benefits available to me. I highly recommend Daniele.
MEVerified patient
Daniele Ascani, LMHC, MA, CEAP is a very caring and compassionate therapist. He utilizes his real life experience to connect and care for his patients. He helped me define my rumination and is often helping me with reframing my thoughts. I have been a patient of his for about three and I am extremely satisfied. He is always on time and sends several reminders to confirm appointments.
WBVerified patient
Daniele is amazing. He not only helped me with gaining confidence but he has also helped me with improving the relationship with my wife. Highly recommended.
CGVerified patient
5 out of 5. Daniel is a thoughtful, motivating and easy to talk to counselor. It is clear that he has a wealth of experience working with others with a variety of backgrounds, and was able to start working with me right away. I've made so much progress in such a short period of time. I cannot recommend him enough.
JAVerified patient
Daniele is a great therapist for really any issue. He is very understanding of different viewpoints, which I think helps him solve complex issues with the client. I would recommend him to anyone, in particular for men in NYC!
BCVerified patient
Daniel is a patient and kind therapist. He will always give you space to talk and think out loud, and he follows up in subsequent weeks on what you've talked about. He's very timely as well, very non judgmental, and really remembers things about my (even from weeks ago) that makes me feel valued.
DKVerified patient

February 3, 2022Nicolas P.Verified patient
Very kind and has a great perspective— Daniel is a great listener and skillfully tailors conversation based on your responses to keep conversations focused and relevant. He challenges you to think about things from a different point of view and lets you organically reflect on your responses. Highly recommended.

My first meeting with Daniel Ascani was amazing. He was really engaged and I could tell he cares about the work that he does. It was comforting knowing that he had taken the time to read the questionnaire I had filled out the night before. What makes Daniel a great therapist is not just that he listens to his clients, but that he genuinely shows empathy. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to improve their mental wellbeing.
