Getting to know Anthony Preischel

I believe there is no greater gift than to provide you the path through which to change. Knowing where you want to be and not knowing how to get there can be a huge challenge; however, you don't have to face it alone. As a psychotherapist, I work with you through this process. I work with individuals, couples, and families, whether it be anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or any one of the issues in today's world. Anthony has dedicated his life to helping people and has over 30 years of experience working with clients transforming their bodies and their lives. He is extensively trained in CBT through the Beck Institute of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, REBT through the Albert Ellis Institute, EFT Couples Counseling through the New York Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy, Choice Theory/Reality Therapy through the Glasser Institute, as well as being trained in The Gottman Method. Anthony obtained his Master's in Mental Health Counseling from New York University, is a MHC-LP, and is a member of the American Psychological Association and the International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy. When not providing psychotherapy in a clinical setting, you can find him in his gym, working with people who want to change their bodies and their lives through fitness.

Doctor in photo was not person I saw. I saw a student and not a doctor. It felt very junior. I had to close the session early.
Anthony has, over the past five years, been able to consistently help me not only further understand things that are happening in my life -- this is great. However what has been really helpful for me is Anthony's ability to help me have good reactions, understanding why those good reactions were critical to my overall health, and on the rare occassion when I still make bad choices he is crucial in helping me realize what led me to those choices. Absolutely have benefited having Anthony's wisdom in my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for his professional services.
I have been searching (unsuccessfully until now) for the right person to help me with relationship challenges. Finally found the one! Anthony is a great listener, and asked the questions that I had not thought to ask myself. Truly, he set me in the direction I needed to go and helped me to see clearly what maybe should have been obvious! I am so happy to have found him! Highly recommended!
Anthony is an amazing listener and made me feel really heard. Even just from what seems like simple conversation he’s able to pin point how things are going with me.
Anthony is a true professional, and one of the most accepting and least judgmental therapists I've seen. He made me feel safe to discuss anything and always offered constructive and sympathetic advice when appropriate. Can't say enough good things. Thank you, Anthony.
I was able to make big steps in my mental health condition through my sessions with Anthony. I have noticed a significant improvement in my mental health condition following each session. He helps me have a different and healthier preservative approach to various situations and challenges in my life. I would like to thank him for this excellent help and support that he has given me.
I will continue working with Anthony because he created a comfortable space for me to explore the concerns and anxieties that have been heavy on my mind.
Anthony is a compassionate person. He listens to understand. He provides guidance and tools to find resolution and self improvement. He is available at times at a given moment to help with intervention when crisis is at hand. I would recommend him to anyone who asks.
Anthony is professional, patient and respectful. I appreciated his calm demeanor and how he put me at ease for our conversation. I look forward to continuing to work with him.
My visit was one of the best I’ve experienced in a long time. Anthony was on time, listened incredibly well and I came away with better perspective. I would and plan to meet with him again.
Anthony is a great listener, he will guide you in the right direction while having a conversation that’s deep and meaningful. He is compassionate and provides structure and a plan for the treatment.
Anthony is extremely approachable and never judgmental. The methods he employs in his counseling are insightful and effective. You can really tell he has spent a great many hours seriously honing his craft and that he is truly passionate about helping others through difficult situations.
Anthony created a welcoming, judgment-free environment. He was compassionate, listened to me and made me feel heard. We worked on practical tools, and after the first session I walked away knowing he was the right choice. Through our sessions, I gained invaluable insights and confidence to handle my anxiety. Working with Anthony has helped me make changes I know I needed but didn't know how to. I highly recommend!
