Find the Right Therapist in NYC Without Adding Another Commute
Finding a therapist in New York City shouldn't mean adding another train ride, waiting room, or appointment across town to an already packed schedule. Our NYC clients meet with their therapist securely online, allowing you to access specialized mental health care from home, your office, or another private location anywhere in New York State.
Virtual therapy may be especially helpful if you:
Have a demanding or unpredictable work schedule
Spend enough of your week commuting already
Travel frequently within New York
Want access to a therapist with a specific specialty rather than limiting your search by neighborhood
Prefer the privacy and convenience of meeting from your own space
Have struggled to find a therapist who feels like the right fit
Wherever you are in NYC, your therapy should work with your life—not make it harder to manage. Our clinicians work to create a space where clients feel safe exploring difficult experiences while developing healthier patterns for the future.
Sometimes understanding why you feel a certain way isn't enough to change how your mind and body respond.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
for High-Achieving professionals
in New York City
New York attracts ambitious people, and ambition can come with a particular kind of pressure. You may be capable, driven, and successful while privately dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, imposter syndrome, performance pressure, or the feeling that you can never fully switch off. Sometimes the strategies that helped you succeed professionally become exhausting personally.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that uses imagery and eye movements to help the brain process distressing experiences and emotional responses differently.
ART may be helpful for people experiencing:
Trauma and PTSD
Performance anxiety
Persistent anxiety despite maintaining a high level of function
Distressing memories
Professional burnout
Imposter syndrome
Major career transitions
Phobias and fears
Grief and loss
Work-related stress
Managing the pressures of leadership or high-responsibility roles.
Emotional responses that feel disproportionate or difficult to control
For busy professionals, ART may also be appealing because it is designed as a focused therapeutic approach rather than relying exclusively on long-term talk therapy. Our approach isn't about asking you to become less ambitious. It's about helping you pursue the life and career you want without sacrificing your mental health to get there.
Specialized Online Therapy in New York City
-
Trauma doesn't always look like a single catastrophic event.
Childhood experiences, difficult relationships, chronic stress, loss, unsafe environments, medical experiences, and repeated emotional injuries can continue affecting how you think, feel, and relate to other people long after the experience itself has ended.
Our trauma-informed therapists help clients process those experiences while developing greater safety, emotional regulation, and understanding of their own patterns.
-
Anxiety can make everything feel urgent. Depression can make everything feel impossible.
Sometimes they happen at the same time.
Therapy can help you understand the patterns contributing to anxiety or depression while building practical strategies for managing thoughts, emotions, relationships, stress, and everyday life.
-
Your relationship with food can become complicated for many reasons—and you don't need to look a certain way or have a particular diagnosis to deserve support.
We work with clients experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, food anxiety, and sensory differences related to eating.
Our clinicians have experience supporting concerns including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, restrictive eating, and difficult relationships with food or body image.
-
Therapy shouldn't require you to hide or "fix" the way your brain works.
We provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy for autistic and ADHD clients, as well as individuals exploring or better understanding their neurodivergence.
Treatment can address anxiety, executive functioning, relationships, identity, sensory needs, burnout, masking, emotional regulation, and the experience of navigating environments that weren't designed with neurodivergent people in mind.
-
Relationships can be deeply meaningful—and deeply complicated.
Our virtual couples therapy helps partners understand patterns in their relationship, improve communication, work through conflict, and build healthier ways of connecting.
We have particular experience supporting queer and neurodivergent couples, including relationships in which differences in communication, sensory needs, identity, emotional processing, or expectations may require a more individualized approach to couples counseling.

Paying for Therapy in New York City
Soulful Serenity Counseling Services is an out-of-network practice.
Many insurance plans still provide reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services. To make the process easier, we've partnered with Thrizer, allowing prospective clients to check their benefits directly through our website.
Here is how Thrizer helps you use your out-of-network (OON) benefits for therapy:
Instant Coverage Calculation: Thrizer instantly checks your insurance plan to determine your OON deductible and the exact percentage (typically 40%–80%) your insurer will cover.
Thrizer Pay (Pay Only Your Copay): Instead of paying your therapist’s full fee upfront and waiting weeks for reimbursement, Thrizer fronts the insurance portion. You only pay your estimated out-of-pocket cost at the time of service, and Thrizer handles the insurance wait on their end.
Automated Claim Submission: Thrizer automatically submits superbills and OON claims directly to your insurance company after every session, eliminating manual paperwork.
Using these benefits gives you access to a wider variety of specialized therapists. To use Thrizer, your therapist must be registered with the platform, and your health plan must include out-of-network coverage (like many PPO or POS plans).
