Getting to know Dr. Anna Fekete
I am a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist, couples therapist, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist, family constellation therapist, as well as a life and business coach with 30 years of professional experience across four different countries. I specialize in: - Trauma Therapy - Grief Therapy - Couples Therapy - Hypnotherapy - IFS - EMDR - CBT - Family Constellation Therapy - Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy - Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) - Cannabis-Assisted Psychotherapy - Psychedelic Integration - Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP) - etc. I hold Master’s degrees in Psychology from Newport University and Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary, as well as a PhD in Music Psychotherapy from Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg. My website: DrAnnaFekete.com I have extensive training and professional experience in clinical psychology, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, CBT, EMDR, IFS, couples and sex therapy, systemic family constellation therapy, and coaching. Additionally, I am trained in music, dance, the creative and performing arts, and various body-mind techniques such as yoga, shiatsu, Traditional Chinese Medicine, martial arts, meditation, and trance techniques. In my therapeutic work, I therefore use a rich and varied repertoire of therapeutic and coaching techniques. In the field of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies, I am certified by leading US training institutions including: - Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) - California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) - Psychedelic Somatic Institute (PSI) - The Ketamine Training Center (KTR) - Fluence - etc. A former Supervisor of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Therapy at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s and Mount Sinai West Hospitals in NYC, I now run a successful private practice in Manhattan.. Luke’s and Mount Sinai West Hospitals in NYC, I now run a successful private practice in Manhattan.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Having spent long and intensive decades of training and professional experience in the worlds of the arts, of science, of academia, and of clinical practice, I think to have achieved a profound level of integration of the sensitivity of a therapist, the creativity of an artist, the academic knowledge of a scholar, the truthfulness and objectivity of a researcher, and the step-by-step methodology of a teacher.
Having studied a number of different therapeutic approaches and techniques, I am rarely using just one or two of them. Rather, my focus is on what a clients needs the most at any given time and what in my tool box would serve those needs the best.
For us to really benefit from any kind of deep therapeutic work - new insights, intense emotions, somatic processing, psychedelic experiences, systemic constellations, etc. - these experiences need to be translated into our every-day life and integrated into our whole personality.
Some of these experiences need to be understood, others need to get absorbed into our body and biochemistry, yet others need to get hard-wired into our nervous system.
This needs time, attention, determination and practice.
Knowing how hard it can be to persist in these efforts, at every step of their journey I provide my clients with detailed instruction ... as well as warmth, encouragement, patience, and a healthy sense of humor.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In individual therapy, I help my clients identify thoughts and emotions which - if left to run on auto pilot - cause us pain, lead us to wrong decisions, and make us feel anxious, angry, depressed, unhappy.
We explore how earlier life experiences are still present in the automatic (and unconscious) response patterns of our bodies and nervous systems, and work not only with thoughts and emotions but also with the body.
In couples therapy, I help couples resolve both the issues they have as a couple (communication, trust, intimacy, sex, infidelity, conflicts, family planning, divorce, abuse etc.) and the problems of one or both of the partners that seem to contribute to their challenges as a couple.
In Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapies, we use various (legal!) psychedelic compunds to catalyze the therapeutic process, to access emotions, to work with the body and the nervous system, to integrate traumatic life experiences, and to move towards new levels of freedom and empowerment.
In Family Constellation sessions, we approach our issues from a systemic perspective. Our primary focus is on transgenerational patterns as well as on personality parts.
In Hypnotherapy, we work with altered states of consciousness and symbolic imagery to explore and communicate with deeper layers of Self.
I strongly believe in the power of our mind and intellect, too, and I like to explain relevant psychological concepts to my clients.
Intellectual understanding and insight can be our most powerful allies in motivating us to do all the emotional, somatic and spiritual work that is needed to heal from decades of trauma and conditioning, and that is required to achieve lasting change.
And last but not least, I strongly believe in the spiritual properties of our sense of humor, fun, play and creativity.
Because healing always implies that we regain our ability to see human nature for what it is: imperfect, fragile, ... yet all the more amazing and lovable.

Dr. Fekete has been helping my wife and me with our marital troubles. Right away at our visit, she enabled us to see our lives and relationship from new perspectives and to make us recognize the root causes of our problems. Her skillful therapy sessions enabled us to attack the very source of our issues instead of just putting band aides on the symptoms. We are very grateful to her for rejuvenating our marriage.

Anna provides a service that is exceptionally unique yet provides healing and value like no other therapy I've tried. She's trained in many well based modalities but it's the psychedlic somatic therapy that is truly life changing and produces such profound effects that have provided me hope that I've never ever conceived possible. Her style is warm, compassionate and necessary for my healing and integration. Highly recommended!!
Many thanks to you Anna!

Anna was incredibly helpful in helping me and my now fiancé work on our conflict resolution and general understanding within the couple. We came to Anna for couples therapy and were working with her for a few months. She was very patient and insightful in helping each of us to recognize there are always other angles to each story. Anna is a great listener. Would highly recommend and planing to come back myself as well.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Anna. She is warm and caring, but will also give you the good, honest truth. She helped me understand myself more deeply, and gave me many tools to use when I'm struggling. She calls me out when I'm being dishonest to myself, which was invaluable to me. She has also been extremely flexible with my unpredictable schedule and income. She's been in the field for a long time, and continues to educate herself and stay up to date. If you're looking for a superb, intelligent, caring therapist, look no further!

Anna is a remarkably warm, caring, and thoughtful psychotherapist. And it's rare because she combines those qualities with a straight-to-the-point, no-nonsense attitude toward suggesting solutions. There's no beating around the bush. She listens, expresses empathy, and then pivots you to what you can do for growth. I've learned a lot from her both in individual and couples sessions and found them both incredibly valuable, particularly for my relationship. Thank you Anna!

I met Anna several years ago and she helped me navigate through some very difficult times. Thanks to her her empathy, insights and wise guidance I feel like I’ve gotten my life back.

My wife and I began working with Anna during COVID. We were experiencing significant friction after having been married for 13 years. This was the first occasion in our lives when we reached out to work with a therapist. We had worked with another therapist before Anna, and we were still forming our list of requirements for a therapist. We realized that we needed someone who would be very frank with us, even while treating our situation with the care it needed. Anna not only advised us and worked through our “issues”, she also shared literature, and research on the same topics. For us, it was very useful to not just talk about our situation, but also understand that we were not unique. The materials were very revealing. There was no quiz later on. Toward the end of COVID, I decided to explore topics with Anna in personal sessions, and my wife and I were in a significantly better place. I have continued to work with Anna. I find her candor, combined with compassion, very refreshing.

Dr. Anna Fekete is a wonderful therapist. She helped me through a difficult time in my work life and also through many other situations I was looking to speak about. She is strong in how she speaks, intelligent and able to assess situations clearly and quickly, and very easy to talk to. Highly recommend!

Finding the right person for therapy in NYC can be rough, so when Dr. Anna Fekete was referred to me, I knew she would be able to support me. Her specialization in somatic experiencing brought a new and effective dimension to our therapy sessions, helping me connect my physical state with my body in ways I hadn't experienced before.
What sets Dr. Anna apart is not just her extensive knowledge of various therapeutic modalities but her genuine empathy and understanding. Each session with her feels personalized, as she integrates techniques that cater specifically to my needs, be it through traditional psychotherapy, somatic experiencing, or other approaches.
On a more personal note, working with Dr. Anna isn't all puppies and rainbows. Dr. Anna asks the tough questions and often reflects things in a way that really cuts through the BS, which is exactly what I need (even when I don't want it).

I met Dr. Anna before the pandemic. And little did I know, how much she would change my life.
I prefer a therapist that provides feedback and homework, and she delivers. She has told me things that may be hard to hear, in the most thoughtful way. I know she always has my best interest in mind, and I wholeheartedly trust her advice.
She is intuitive, compassionate, empathetic, caring, honest, direct, protective, knowledgeable, all the while being objective.
I honestly don't know how I would have survived the pandemic, along with simultaneous major life changes, without her. She is truly a lifesaver!

I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact Anna has had on my life over the past seven years. She is sincere and flexible, sensitive to changing needs and circumstances. With an impressive background and knowledge base, she maintains a keen awareness of the current zeitgeist, making her relevant and indispensable to people of all backgrounds and identities. I continue to grow in meaningful ways that have improved my relationships and increased my satisfaction with life in general. One can expect a uniquely tailored, sensitive, and professional experience when given the chance to work with Anna.
