Getting to know Alain Zagorin

Hello! My name is Alain (pronounced Alan), and I'm a dedicated psychotherapist passionate about helping individuals understand themselves better. Originally from the French-speaking part of Canada, I moved to the U.S. and bring with me a rich multicultural perspective shaped by my experiences with language, culture, and identity. This background informs my empathetic approach to clients navigating their own important life transitions. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a Master's in Career Counseling from Université de Sherbrooke. I celebrate multiculturalism in my practice, drawing on my engagement with diverse communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals, to create an inclusive therapeutic space.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In our sessions, you can expect a warm and empathetic environment where we work together to identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and foster a sense of empowerment. I have significant experience in areas that many therapists may overlook, specifically regarding sexuality issues such as erectile dysfunction, low desire, kinks, and self-esteem related to sexuality, particularly among men. I believe in balancing humor with deeper discussions, using my interest in existential psychotherapy to explore life’s big questions and your unique experiences. Outside of my practice, I enjoy yoga, hiking, reading, and engaging with cultural activities—elements I sometimes integrate into therapy to enhance well-being and balance. You might find me recommending a book, a thought-provoking movie, or even a brisk walk, because I believe therapy extends beyond the couch and into everyday life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Let’s embark on this journey together, creating a space where you can grow, heal, and thrive. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), humanistic, and existentialist therapies to tailor my methods to your unique needs. I specialize in addressing anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), men’s issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, life transitions, and sexuality.

I have had 1-on-1s with Alain for quite a while. He has helped me in ways that permeate through all facets of my life. I was a bit resistant and cautious at first. But he earned my trust and I've grown from my personal distrust of things to being comfortable with myself and confident in my environment. From improving my relationship with my family, to addressing sensitive personal matters with confidentiality and wisdom, to addressing my goals in my career. He helped me improve in ways I didn't foresee.
As a person who detests pointless meetings that show no results, my time spent with him has been productive and insightful. Alain is the direct catalyst of my personal and professional growth.
From the underbelly of alternative lifestyles to the anxious struggles of day-to-day life, Alain is there to hold folks through their most personal moments and magnanimous growth.
His integrative approach to psychology offers clients different forms to explore self-improvement, growth, and a well-balanced life. Alain provides an empathetic environment making clients comfortable to address their needs in an open manner.
Alain has provided guidance for me during some difficult times, and I appreciate his ability to hold me accountable while also being on my side.
Very smart, open, nonjudgmental, and great at asking questions. I feel a natural connection and safe space to speak with Alain.
He is kind and listens attentively. He has had great insight in helping me through my issues and has a positive outlook which I really appreciate.
He makes me feel comfortable sharing just about anything, has great insights, and continues to help me through my mental health journey.
