“Vadim is a no-nonsense, highly logical, and compassionate therapist, making him an excellent practitioner. He will also hold you very accountable to the things you claim to want to work on. He helped me work through many an emotional problem and unlike other therapists where it might feel adversarial, he definitely engages in a real conversation with you.”

“Vadim has helped me tremendously over the 6+ months we've been meeting. He always comes to our meetings prepared - it is very impressive how much he remembers about me despite just meeting once a week. He is incredibly knowledgeable and I appreciate that he can often cite studies / references when necessary. I would highly recommend Vadim.”

Getting to know Vadim Seylanov
As a Russian immigrant growing up in Brooklyn, Vadim often felt out of place and unsure of who he wanted to be. Along the way, he was fortunate to befriend some truly wonderful people who taught him how to express himself and feel confident—not as an outcast but as a remarkable and unique individual. In his work, Vadim strives to create a space open to all who need help and empathy—a place where one can safely and effectively explore the mind, foster growth, and discover new interests.
Vadim believes therapy works best when clients are motivated, set intentions, and collaborate within the therapeutic alliance. He uses an integrative approach incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), addressing issues such as trauma, mood disorders, addiction, family and interpersonal conflict, and identity crises. He also has experience in crisis intervention and substance abuse research.
Vadim earned his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Macaulay Honors College and his Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from NYU Steinhardt, East Building. For many years, he made a living as a professional poker player, which he still considers one of the most fascinating areas of applied psychology.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $185 for 55 minutes
Ongoing session: $185-200 for 45 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
PLEASE NOTE: We accept both in and out-of-network insurance. All insurances above are plans we participate with, either at an in-network or out-of-network level.

Working with Vadim has helped me grow in ways I didn’t expect. He’s calm, thoughtful, and gives space for reflection, which I’ve found super helpful. He doesn’t tell you what to do but instead guides you toward figuring it out in your own words. Our sessions have helped me feel more emotionally stable and
less reactive, and I’ve learned how to handle stress and uncertainty in healthier ways. He’s the real deal.

Vadim brings a really steady, grounding energy to every session. Even when I’ve come in overwhelmed or all over the place, he’s been able to help me slow down, sort through things, and find clarity. He’s a
great listener who never interrupta or pushes but when he does offer insight, it always lands. He’s helped me gain a much better understanding of my patterns and how to move through life with more intention and self-trust.

I am always thoroughly reassured during my sessions with Vadim. He has an absolutely phenomenal ability to remember even the smallest of details from our previous sessions and is always able to offer insightful and genuinely helpful advice and anslysis as to my situation and issues.

Vadim is not one of those counselors that just sits there and nods while giving platitudes. He gets straight to point, identifies goals and helps find what is getting in the way of achieving them. I made real prigress real fast.
