Getting to know Declan Taintor
Specializing in depression, anxiety, and interpersonal relationships, I often meet with people who are new to (or a little skeptical of) therapy, and I try to keep my work down to earth and jargon free. Sometimes therapy can be misrepresented as overly self-indulgent or wishy-washy, but I believe deeply that it can be a tool for change and for leading a more authentic life through self-knowledge. If you feel like you have lost the sense of joy that you used to have, if you feel rudderless and directionless, or if your relationships feel out of sync, I believe therapy can help you. I hold a Master's in Social Work from New York University and a Bachelor's degree from Northwestern University, which have equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support you on your journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I draw from multiple modalities and trainings including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy to provide care that is tailored to each individual. Treatment can either be long term or short term depending on need.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe that compatibility and fit are incredibly important within the therapeutic relationship.

I would definitely recommend working with Declan if you have the opportunity. I saw him for about 6 months for traditional weekly psychotherapy services and he really supported me through the lowest point in my life. I had been putting off therapy for a while, but working with him was a very easy transition and he was great every step of the way. I quickly felt understood and heard, and got a lot out of our sessions. If you’re hesitant about therapy (or just looking for a new practitioner) I’d urge you to take the leap with Declan! Be well.
