Hands down the best therapy practice in NYC. Affordable, great therapy, nice office, good location, office manager deals with all the PPO paperwork which is a dream. If they have openings, do yourself a giant favor and take the leap here.

Would give this practice 6 stars if I could! Finding a therapist was a bit of a nightmare until I found Megan, I always either couldn’t afford it or didn’t feel comfortable with the therapist. At Megan’s practice, they make the whole process easy and the therapy is fantastic. I saw one of the therapists under Megan’s supervision and had a truly transformative experience. Since they are a newer practice they tend to use techniques and approaches that are actually up to date as opposed to other NYC practices I’ve been to. And the support staff takes care of all the logistics and billing and is always very friendly and pleasant. I have a PPO plan so I ended up with a manageable copay and they took care of the rest. It was such a relief to find a place that I actually looked forward to going every week, and that made a world of difference for my mental health. Highly recommend.

I could not recommend Megan more. In our sessions, I always feel that she really cares about me and my life. She helps me see all that is going well and when I leave I often feel uplifted or somehow lighter. We get into the dark hard stuff too. With her help, I move forward even when I am falling apart.
Firstly, I would give Megan 5 stars. From the moment I stepped into my first session with Megan, I felt at ease. She creates such a trusting and comfortable space where I felt safe, validated and empowered. She challenged me clinically in all the right ways - pushing me - but never too far. She would engage with me conversationally which I like because I never want to be the only one talking. Yet I was constantly amazed at how her words resonated with me. I've had therapists who make you want to say "You don't know me" and it was never that way with Megan. She is both LGBTQ affirmative and supportive, so I never felt worried about being judged or that I couldn't be myself. I worked with Megan for 9 months, and I felt like we really made progress, but more importantly she helped me better understand and utilize the tools to do the work outside of therapy. Megan has the most generous and kind spirit. I would 100% recommend her to anyone seeking therapy.
I was in a lot of emotional pain when I started seeing Megan and she was a comfort to me. She helped me realize that my brain and my thoughts were not always my friend, and this has helped me to be more in reality, which is often times friendlier than my head! She is warm and caring and an excellent therapist.
Megan is a true gem of a therapist. She is very real and down to earth. Patient, warm and compassionate, while also unafraid to provide a little push at times which I really appreciate in a therapist. Her intuition and insight are really on point. I definitely recommend her highly.
A friend had recommended Megan so I felt confident booking a session w/ her on Zocdoc. It can be really hard to find a good therapist. Megan is amazing. She put me at ease right away. She's really pleasant and insightful. I've been in therapy on & off for a lot of years, and Megan for me is a keeper! I def recommend Megan if you're looking for a smart, caring and excelent therapist!
