Getting to know Steve Akchayan

I work with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, addressing depression, anxiety, substance use, chronic pain, and relationship challenges. I support partners navigating communication, trust, intimacy, and conflict resolution to build stronger relationships. As a gender-affirming therapist, I help LGBTQ+ clients navigate trauma, relationships, and self-identity. My approach fosters a collaborative, inclusive space to explore experiences and create lasting change. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Baruch College, City University of New York, and a Bachelor’s degree from CUNY Hunter College.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I take an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring my methods to meet your unique needs, goals, and aspirations. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as CBT, REBT, and a person-centered framework. l also use a Positive Confrontational style, where I gently challenge negative perceptions, limiting beliefs, and automatic thought patterns to help you build resilience and achieve personal growth. Therapy is about progress, not perfection. Let's work together to turn challenges into opportunities for growth and transformation. Healing starts here.
