From Our Clients

Farzad

My partner and I used Jasmine Sundri as our couples therapist between February - May 2019. I really cannot stress how much she has helped us grow as individuals and in our marriage during those months. Jasmine gave us concrete, cognitive based therapeutic solutions and exercises to work through some significant long-term issues we had been unable to resolve over our six year relationship. She mainly helped us start listening to each other again and our relationship is immensely better for it. I'd recommend her wholeheartedly to others in similar situations, thanks a lot Jasmine!

Maria

My family was lucky to find Christina Jeffrey, she was an integral part of our healing. We had many facets to the issues we were dealing with and she managed to separate and work on each one. She was reassuring, understanding, and most of all insightful. She made us feel comfortable enough to open up, especially for those of us that hadn't experienced therapy in the past and for those of us who had and were avoiding it. I could write a book describing all the ways she helped us, but in short we would never have gotten past our issues without her. I highly recommend her - she is truly a caring person and very knowledgeable in her field.

Don

I had the pleasure of working with Aaron. He's professional, patient, understanding, and helpful. He has quite a meditative, nonjudgmental approach to therapy - in the sense that not only is he nonjudgmental as a therapist, but he encourages you not to be judgmental with your own thoughts as you approach your challenges. Having him listen, and hearing his thoughts about my concerns have been instrumental in ensuring I'm living my best life. You're the man, Aaron.

Priscella

I have worked with Benjamin for around a year or more. And it's always great to go see him. I always have great therapy sessions and they have been helping me through life always.

Charlotte

It is difficult to put into words how grateful I am for Rachel Landman. She has helped me change my life for the better and continues to help me learn the tools I need to grow into the person I'd like to be. I can't recommend Rachel enough to anyone who is seeking a therapist who is kind, insightful, genuine, authentic, extremely intelligent, and truly just outstanding at their job. It shows that Rachel cares deeply for the betterment of her clients and goes above and beyond what I ever wanted in a therapist. My only regret is I didn't start going to her sooner.

Korey

I worked with Diana and from being her client I can certainly say she seems to genuinely care. She has helped me with issues and concerns I've been struggling with for some time and is always flexible and understanding. This was a big factor for me as rigidity in a clinician is something I don't tend to do well with. I've been in therapy before but I feel I've made much more progress here.

Simedar

I've bounced around from different therapists for years and am very pleased with my experience at Douglas Psychotherapy. Michelle Hong is amazing and so helpful and light! I look forward to our sessions every week and feel confident that she can help guide me through the toughest times.

James

I've been working with one of your wonderful therapists, Jordan Rands, for a couple months now. He has been a kind, thorough, and thoughtful presence as I start my therapy process - could not have asked for better.

JB

I am delighted to recommend Paige. I have had an exceptionally difficult time through a variety of security-related anxieties that these troubling times have brought. And she helped me become much more confident, independent and willing to ensure that I can become more resilient. I have no doubts she will have an amazing career and help so many people improve on what is one of the most important issues of today's times.

Neither Here Nor There: Cultural Identity & Belonging

Thursday Time: 5:00 pm Mazia Iqbal
This 4-week group is for individuals who identify with immigrant, first-generation, or multicultural backgrounds and are navigating the space between cultures — trying to hold onto ancestral traditions while living within a different cultural reality. Together, we’ll explore themes like identity conflict, family pressure, generational differences, and the struggle of not feeling “enough” in any one culture. Through storytelling, skill-building, and creative reflection, we’ll foster connection, healing, and a stronger sense of self.

Mindful Practices with Your Senses

Wednesday Time: 1:00 pm Candice Chiang Jennifer Yu

Incorporating mindfulness into daily life can be a powerful form of self-care and grounding. This experiential workshop invites you to reconnect with your five senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell—through simple, accessible practices that you can return to anytime. Through guided exercises and reflection, you’ll learn how to slow down, engage your senses with intention, and build mindfulness into your routine in creative and practical ways. No prior experience with mindfulness or the arts is needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to slow down.

Exploring Misconceptions about Love and Connection

Wednesday Time: 1:00 pm Jennifer Yu Candice Chiang

Many of us carry ideas about what a “perfect” relationship should look like—and feel discouraged when reality doesn’t match. This workshop invites us to unpack common myths about romantic partnerships, reflect on where these beliefs come from, and reframe them with more compassion and nuance. Together, we’ll engage with themes of identity, intimacy, effort, and conflict, and set intentions to honor the complexity and uniqueness of each relationship.

Softening Our Inner Critic: Self-Compassion and Perfectionism

Thursday Time: 7:00 pm Annabelle Ang Laura Park

Many of us hold ourselves to impossibly high standards, and in a fast-paced place like New York, it’s easy to feel like everyone else has it figured out while you’re just trying to keep up. This workshop invites us to explore the roots of perfectionism and the inner critic, and to gently challenge the belief that self-criticism is the only path to success. Together, we’ll engage with themes of identity, fear of failure, and imposter syndrome, while learning how self-compassion can foster resilience, motivation, and a more sustainable sense of self-worth.
