A Boutique Psychotherapy Practice in NYC and Virtually Across New York State
THERAPY AT LIGHTLINE
LightLine Therapy helps people break free from the patterns that keep them stuck. Because success on the outside means little if you feel empty, disconnected, or lost on the inside. Through deep, insight-driven therapy, we help ambitious New Yorkers quiet the noise, recognize their blind spots, and build emotional resilience–so they can actually feel as happy as they’ve been performing for everyone else.
For New Yorkers Who Are Tired of Waiting For Things to Get Better on Their Own.
Life throws problems your way and so often you’re able to dispel them with ease (and that’s not an accident–you’ve worked hard to get to this point). Charm, competence, and confidence are now a part of who you are. Or at least how you allow people to see you.
And when you come across something truly challenging, it’s nothing you can’t overcome by just working a little harder. “Balance” soon follows in the form of a few more drinks or nightly hits of the vape pen.
But what happens when you stumble into a puzzle you can’t solve by doubling down on effort? These are the problems that exist not around you, but inside of you. All the practical reasoning in the world won’t be able to crack this, because this is no math problem.
Things would be so much easier to understand if they followed any kind of recognizable logic.
But right now, trying to solve your problems on your own is just fucking exhausting.
You work so hard in your relationships and still find yourself annoyed and unfulfilled. You work so hard constantly entertaining others and trying to make sure everyone else is always having a good time. You work so hard to ignore that lurking feeling that people are judging you. And let’s be honest–even if they’re not judging you, you’re definitely judging yourself.
If only feelings were rational, you would be able to find your way out of this emotional labyrinth and continue on your merry way.
We Work with People Just Like You
Maybe the answer isn’t waiting on that next rung of success you keep reaching for, but instead it’s nestled back inside that emotional labyrinth. This is where you were afraid you would have to go, because this is where the scary shit is.
All of your barriers live here–fear of failure, imposter syndrome, limiting beliefs, and that vaguely unsettling feeling that you might be a people pleaser (but something about that phrase just makes you cringe).
If only you could find an unwavering companion to be with you as you face yourself. A friend might do, but you doubt they’d be able to call you out on all the charming defenses and distractions you so skillfully employ. Whenever things become a little too raw or vulnerable, out come the excuses that protect you–and also feed that feeling of emptiness.
You need a therapist who will challenge you to push past this misleading sense of safety. Somebody who will see you on the inside and also understand why and how you’ve crafted such a meticulous exterior. Somebody who will help you find the words to describe all those wild feelings you’ve worked so hard to hide from everyone.
We work with people just like you.
If you’re willing to stop the engine long enough to look under the hood, you might discover what’s inside that emotional maze you’ve always resented. It’s messy and complicated in there, and honestly, also kind of beautiful when you look at it in the right way. In our work together, we’ll connect the dots from your past so you can draw a more precise picture of your future.
Look, we're not here to waste your time or send you on a wild goose chase.
Therapy isn't a quick fix—it's a vulnerable, honest, sometimes messy collaboration.
Everyone's journey is different, and the truth is, not everyone wants/needs/would benefit from the dedicated deep-dive approach we take at LightLine Therapy.
So are we a good fit? We genuinely hope so. But since you're the one who will be doing the real, meaningful work of therapy, that decision ultimately lies with you.
Are We A Good Fit?
Who is ready?
You're our kind of person if:
- You've mastered every system and rulebook out there but still feel something's missing.
- You don’t understand, can’t describe, or try your best to ignore your emotions, in favor of relentless intellectualization.
- You're courageous enough to let someone truly see you—vulnerabilities and all.
- You’re sharp, perceptive, and care deeply about personal growth.
- You're ready to get a little uncomfortable, lean into challenges, and push your edges.
- You’re endlessly curious and ready to dive deeper into understanding yourself and your life.
It might not be your thing if:
- You prefer to stay focused on external circumstances or other people's behavior rather than your own internal experiences.
- You're not quite ready to face the discomfort of being genuinely seen and still accepted.
- You're looking for a therapist to tell you what to do or do the work for you.
- You want a sounding board without the accountability of taking meaningful action.
- You're looking for quick fixes, magic bullets, or overnight solutions.
- You’re not in a position where you can prioritize showing up weekly and doing consistent work.
