Sentient Psychotherapy
Sentient Psychotherapy is a local, brick-and-mortar NYC therapy practice built around real human connection. We provide high-quality, individualized therapy for adults and couples in person at our Lower Manhattan office and virtually throughout New York State.
Our team includes therapists from a range of backgrounds, identities, cultures, and lived experiences, allowing us to thoughtfully match you with someone who understands not only what you’re struggling with, but the larger context of your life. We believe the relationship you have with your therapist matters, which is why we offer a free consultation to help you find the right fit.
We treat the things that can make everyday life feel harder than it should. Our therapists work with anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, family issues, perfectionism, procrastination, loneliness, work and career stress, life transitions, identity, self-esteem, and uncertainty about the future. We also work extensively with couples navigating communication, intimacy, conflict, cultural differences, major transitions, and changing relationship structures.
Treatment is personalized rather than one-size-fits-all, drawing from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, IFS, and EFT for couples and other modalities based on your needs.
We call our approach Identity-Driven Therapy™—because who you are matters to the work. Culture, race, language, gender, sexuality, relationships, immigration, family, faith, and the communities you belong to can all shape how you experience anxiety, relationships, ambition, belonging, and yourself. At Sentient, you can find care that reflects and understands experiences including:
• LGBTQ+, queer, trans & gender-expansive identities
• Asian, South Asian, Latino/a, Latine, Hispanic & BIPOC identities
• First-generation adults, immigrants & children of immigrants
• Third Culture Kid (TCK), bicultural, biracial & multiracial adults
• Interracial, multicultural, interfaith & cross-faith couples
• Faith, spirituality & religious identity
• Queer, polyamorous & non-monogamous relationships
• Multilingual therapy in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Bengali & Hindi
You shouldn’t have to spend half of therapy translating your culture, relationships, family, beliefs, or identity before you can talk about what actually brought you there.
We also believe excellent therapy should be available at different price points. Sentient offers tiered pricing based on the therapist’s experience, credentials, and level of training, making it possible to choose a clinician and fee level that work for you. We also offer a dedicated Low-Fee Therapy Program, where carefully selected clinical residents provide individualized therapy under close supervision from experienced clinicians. This gives clients access to consistent, high-quality therapy at a significantly reduced fee. We lower the fee, not the level of care.
We work with both insurance and private-pay clients and make the financial side of therapy as straightforward as possible. For out-of-network care, our team can verify your benefits before you begin and provide concierge billing support, including submitting eligible claims to your insurance company on your behalf. Deductibles, copays, coinsurance, reimbursement, and coverage vary by individual plan, so we’ll help you understand what your plan actually covers rather than leaving you to figure it out alone.
Whether you’re looking for in-person therapy in NYC, virtual care, insurance-supported treatment, or our low-fee program, we make it easy to meet a real therapist, understand your options, and get started.

To my weekly apt. Highly recommend.
PFVerified patient
Ariana is truly gifted at providing couples therapy! She has a way of getting us to talk about things, listen, and respect each other again. The price was a little higher then we wanted to spend, but so we did. Our expierence has been so worth it. A divorce would have cost much more. Thank You Ari we so appreciate your work with us!

Mengtian is an attentive therapist that understands my culture and background which makes my therapy best for me. She is understanding and easy for me to talk to.
CYVerified patient
Mengtien does an amazing job asking the right questions. I have nothing but good things to say about her. She is amazing and extremely helpful.
CMVerified patient
Kate is the best of the best. From my first appointment with her, I felt comfortable opening up and sharing what I was going through. Kate got me through a really tough time mentally when it felt like there may not be an end in sight. She is extremely knowledgeable, and our conversations always felt productive and encouraging. She’s the kind of therapist that had me telling all my friends, “I found the BEST therapist.” Highly recommend!
AMVerified patient
Her office is relaxing and beautiful. I was apprehensive about working with a younger therapist as I previously worked with a much older one. Katie has proven to be a wonderful match for me & my needs.
ECVerified patient
Katie is warm and made it easy to start sharing my difficult thoughts. She provides a space of equal balance listening & encouraging me to share as well as guiding & directing our therapy sessions.
JRVerified patient
Katie has been helping me work through some deep seeded OCD issues for only a month now and I am already feeling more in control of navigating this. I look forward to my appointments. Thank you Katie!
ASVerified patient
Katie is quite gifted in her work she provides. I feel like I have made a significant stride after working together the last 2 mths. I am really looking forward to my own growth as Katie continue to work with me. She is also always on time which I need for my work schedule!
ACVerified patient
I’m learning about the therapy experience. Having a Muslim therapist and South Asian helps.

Amazing therapist. So helpful to talk to a professional who actually gets me.

Mickey was open and welcoming. I was comfortable immediately.
It is still early but I feel confident Mickey will be able to help me reach my goals.
September 24, 2025Kendal R.Verified patient
Mickey helped me a lot with my sadness after a breakup. He really listened to me and made me feel like I wasn’t alone. I’m feeling more like myself again because of our sessions.
WKVerified patient
My partner and I have a complicated relationship and Micky was great to work with. He’s direct and non-judgmental which put us at ease. Great couples therapist for us. LGBTQ+ friendly!
EPVerified patient
Mickey was really kind and easy to talk to. He helped me understand my anxiety and feel better about who I am. I always feel safe and listened to in our sessions.
JKVerified patient
Really heard out my concerns and helped me set measurable goals for my mental health needs.
BCVerified patient
Catherine was the first therapist I ever had and I couldn't have asked a better one. From the start, she created an environment that felt really open and welcoming, which made me feel very comfortable opening up to her about the issues I'd been having with my girlfriend at the time. I left every session feeling like I'd gained some really valuable insight into both my emotions and romantic relationships in general - whether it was just some advice she gave me or a new perspective she helped me find. When I first started going to her to help me through my breakup, I had no idea how much I'd grow and develop in just six months of weekly sessions, and it's all because of her guidance and care. Unfortunately I switched insurances after getting a new job and she ended up being out-of-network, or else I'd 100% still be going to her. Super grateful for her lessons and wisdom that I know I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. She's a wonderful therapist!!!
CCVerified patient
Very nice environment in waiting room. At my first appointment I felt welcomed and low stress. My first session was great.
November 22, 2024Victor P.Verified patient
Caroline is such an amazing therapist. I came to her in a not great spot of life and she really helped me turn things around. She is very calm, kind, and insightful. I was going through a hard transition and having a lot of anxiety. Slowly but surely she helped me improve my coping skills, adjust my mindset, and gain confidence in many areas of my relationship. I highly recommend her!
ACVerified patient
From the start, Caroline made me feel supported and understood. She listens without judgment, asks meaningful questions, and helps me see things from new perspectives. I’m grateful for the clarity and growth I’ve experienced through our work together, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate space for self-exploration.

Caroline is an extremely patient listener and always leaves me feeling better than when I started. Truly grateful to have found her.
JHVerified patient
What I didn't know I was missing in my life. Talking to someone who gets me, gets it.
LSVerified patient
Robin is such a warm and compassionate therapist! It is a joy to work with her.
ASVerified patient
I never tried therapy before and I didn't think I would ever find a therapist who could understand what I'm going through. Robin totally gets it. I'm surprised at how easy it is to talk to her. Therapy is taboo in our culture, but I really wanted to start doing things differently. I don't have to explain things about my family to Robin. She's understanding and helping me bridge a gap that I didnt think possible. I'm feeling more confident and grounded, which is a new experience for me. I highly recommend working with Robin!
SPVerified patient
It was hard for me to get to a therapist. To admit I needed one. So glad I changed my mind. Great therapist, close to my office, takes my insurance.
CLVerified patient
I had a great experience! Robin was kind, patient, and professional. I felt comfortable throughout the visit and felt that my concerns were listened carefully. Their place is nice as well.
ELVerified patient
I'm Gen X and we're fine right? Not always! Lola is a godsend. Setient rocks.
ALVerified patient
Lola is super cool. Amazed I found her.
BWVerified patient
Returning to therapy and glad I found Bri! I work in tech and I work from home. I wanted a queer therapist, in person, who submits claims for me. Sentient fits the bill. The office is relaxing, easy to get to and nicer than my apt. Bri is smart, insightful, easy to talk to. I think I struck gold.
AKVerified patient
Anooshka is so kind. I can be open with her because I feel safe with her.
PKVerified patient
Anooshka is so kind. I can be open with her & feel safe with her
PKVerified patient
Excellent, convenient. Gets the culture.
SSVerified patient
Excellent, convenient. Gets the culture.
SSVerified patient
Really great therapist! Very calming, insightful, and also gave me a lot of tools to manage my social anxiety. First time in therapy and I'm so glad I pushed myself to start. Also, going in person gets me off my phone and out of my apt, which is good for me, too. Highly recommend Anooshka!
KWVerified patient
Such a beautiful space. I felt safe the minute I walked in the door. Teesha helps me so much. Helps me define feelings I didn't understand before.
TSVerified patient
I had a really positive experience working with Tianyi. She is very easy to talk to and creates a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where I felt comfortable opening up. I always felt heard and understood during our sessions, and I appreciated how supportive and thoughtful she was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist.
ULVerified patient
Working with Tianyi has been life-changing. The 3 years I worked with her got me to somewhere I can never envision myself to be in life. She is always caring and warm on my journey to heal myself from my past. Tianyi is very different from other providers I visited. She truly cares about me and my progress, rather than just showing up on the call every week. I highly recommend Tianyi to who ever is seeking help long-term!
OZVerified patient
Vanesa is a seasoned, skilled therapist. I feel very lucky to have found her. I like that she's a bit older than me. She's got life experience, and has lived in other countries. As a British expat and new mother, I trust her insight and advice. She knows a lot about families and relationships. Therapy with Vanesa is helping me with this new stage of my life. I've been in therapy before and I can confidently say that Vanesa is one of the good ones.
GBVerified patient
First of all the space. I want to live there. Second but really first, Vanessa. Wasn't sure someone someone tougher than me would be so wise. Great experience, cant wait until her next session.
VCVerified patient
I am now able to sleep. That is all. Amazing.
