FIND CLARITY. FEEL ALIVE. BE SENTIENT.
THERAPY THAT HELPS YOU FEEL HUMAN AGAIN
In Person. In New York City.
You’re a high-achieving New Yorker.

But lately, no matter how hard you push yourself on the outside, inside you’re falling apart. Your anxiety is at full tilt, sabotaging your ability to stay focused and keeping you up at night.
Everywhere you turn, there’s more stress, more intensity, more noise.
For the first time, you’re looking ahead and you have no idea what your life will look like a year from now.
You learned all about how to stay in control, stay on top and succeed.
But no one ever showed you how to face the uncertainty and insecurity you’re feeling now.
Being human is hard.
The truth is, you’re a sentient being doing your best in an alienating world.
Somewhere along the way, you learned to push, to stay in control, to cut off.
It worked. Until it didn’t.
And it’s costing you the version of you that you know is possible.
Getting the edge isn’t about becoming less human.
It’s about becoming more.
More present. More connected. More alive.
And that’s where we come in.
Welcome to
Sentient Psychotherapy.
We’re a brick and mortar practice in Lower Manhattan, and we’re ready to change your life.
With more than 140 five-star reviews on Zocdoc, Sentient has become a trusted destination for New Yorkers looking for exceptional, deeply human therapy.
We help high-achieving New York professionals, couples, creatives, and college students release outdated coping strategies and cultivate the psychological flexibility needed to thrive in today’s chaotic, disconnected world. We believe mental health needs seeing and sensing, not screens, which is why we specialize in compassionate, in-person care.
We offer individual and couples therapy for anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, identity, and major life transitions. Our approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR for trauma recovery and chronic stress, EFT for couples, and Multiculturally-focused, Identity-affirming Therapy.
Our therapists represent the multicultural diversity of New York. No matter who you are, what your identity, there’s a therapist at Sentient who understands the world you’re navigating and is ready to meet you there. We offer therapy in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi and Bengali.
High-quality therapy with or without insurance.
We want you to find a therapist you love and a fee you can comfortably sustain. Use in-network benefits with Aetna, out-of-network benefits with most PPO and POS plans, choose from tiered rates based on therapist experience, or access our low-fee therapy program starting at $50.
Best of all, we offer every new client a free, 15 minute consultation before you commit. In just five simple steps and less than five minutes, tell us who you are, what you’re looking for, and what you’re comfortable paying out of pocket. We’ll factor it all in and match you with up to three Sentient therapists who fit your needs and your budget.
