Confidential · Independent of your program
You take care of everyone else. This is for you.
Private therapy for residents and medical trainees — scheduled around call, not the other way round.
Why residents come to us
Functioning well on paper. Running on empty inside.
Medical training asks a great deal. Many residents and trainees are still showing up, performing and getting good feedback — while privately carrying anxiety, burnout, emotional exhaustion or a nagging sense that they don’t belong.
Therapy offers a space that is entirely yours: separate from your program, your evaluations and your colleagues. A place to think clearly, process what you’ve seen and reconnect with who you are outside the hospital.
How therapy can help
Support for the realities of training
Every trainee’s experience is different. Common goals include:
- Managing anxiety and stress before exams, on shift and when the pager won’t stop.
- Understanding the patterns behind burnout — not just surviving the next rotation.
- Building focus, emotional regulation and follow-through when you’re exhausted.
- Processing difficult clinical experiences, losses and transitions.
- Setting boundaries and keeping a sense of self outside of work.
- Navigating relationships, family and life decisions during training.

Questions from residents
Will my residency program know I’m in therapy?
No. We are an independent private practice with no connection to your program, hospital or employer. We do not share information with them without your written consent, except in the rare situations required by law (such as an immediate risk of serious harm), which we’ll explain at your first session.
I’m worried about licensing questions. Can we talk about that?
Absolutely — it’s a common concern. Licensing and credentialing questions vary by state and board, and we can’t give legal advice, but we’re happy to talk through what’s worrying you and how your records are protected.
My schedule changes every week. Can therapy still work?
Yes. We offer early-morning and late-evening sessions and telehealth across New York, and we’ll work with you on a rhythm that’s realistic during your current rotation.
Do I need to be in crisis to start?
Not at all. Many trainees come to us while still functioning well — they just want to stop white-knuckling it. Starting before things reach a breaking point often makes the work easier.
Is this covered by insurance?
We are primarily an out-of-network practice and provide superbills you can submit for possible reimbursement. Northwell Direct may cover care with some clinicians and services, depending on your coverage. We’re happy to help you check.
Do you also work with attending physicians and other clinicians?
Yes. While this page focuses on trainees, we also see attendings, nurses, physician assistants and other healthcare professionals through our adult therapy service.
