Work anxiety therapy in NYC
Work anxiety therapy for NYC professionals, with evening and weekend appointments across four Manhattan and Brooklyn offices.
Which pattern matches what you're experiencing at work?
Because I want to feel like myself again at work.
If this sounds familiar
You've been doing this for years. The next step is five short questions about which pattern fits and what kind of support you actually want.
Because I want to stop dreading Sunday night.
What's possible
Clients describe the change as small first, then visible: the chest tightness on the train softens. The 1:1 happens, and the voice doesn't shake the way it used to. The week ends without a hangover that takes until Wednesday to lift.
Because I want my weekend to feel like a weekend.
How it works
From quiz to first session, often the same week. Cigna and Aetna accepted, out-of-network welcome.
Five quick questions about which work-anxiety pattern fits, what's been hardest, and how you'd like to start. About one minute.
A real person from our intake team calls to talk through fit, match you with the therapist most likely to land for you, and answer any Cigna or Aetna questions.
In person at the office closest to you, Midtown, Chelsea, Brooklyn, or Upper West Side. Or secure video if that fits your week better. Evenings and weekends available.
Because I want a clear next step, not another open tab.
What every client gets
What you'll find here
A four-office NYC practice with thirteen clinicians, founded by a psychoanalytically trained Clinical Director. The practice was built around the working professional whose calendar does not pause at 5pm and whose anxiety does not pause at all.
Mon to Sun, 7am to 10pm. Most NYC therapy practices keep banker's hours. Ours was built around the lawyer in court until 7, the trader on the desk through close, the resident on call most weekends. The schedule is the schedule. We work around it.
Founder Efrat Gotlib trained at the Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. Our team blends psychodynamic insight, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and creative arts therapies. The aim is structural change, not a refresher on breathing exercises.
Finance, law, tech, medicine, agency, consulting. We know what end-of-quarter feels like. We know what billables and call schedules and promo packets do to a nervous system. The clients in our offices look like the people you work with.
A real person from our intake team listens to what you said in the quiz, then matches you with the clinician most likely to land for you. If the fit is wrong, we re-match. The practice carries the responsibility for the match, not the client.
Because I want a practice built around how I actually work.

From the outside my life looked fine
From the outside my life probably looked fine, job, responsibilities, functioning adult. Inside I constantly felt like I was about to mess something up or get found out.
Sabrina
Immense growth in my anxiety management
This truly has been the most comfortable I have ever felt with a therapist, and I have seen immense growth in my anxiety management since working with Michelle Hall. She is easy to open up to and has created such a judgement free environment to talk through anything. Couldn't recommend more.
Jake
Anxieties about work, family, and friendships
Tekla was very helpful. Great therapy sessions to address anxieties about work, family, and friendships.
Hugo
Coping mechanisms for work stress and anxiety
The level of service I received during my therapy sessions has been life changing. Therapy24x7 has given me coping mechanisms to deal with my work stress and anxiety. All the staff have always been friendly and very helpful.
How we work
Most NYC competitors lead with one modality. We lead with the question of what's actually fueling the anxiety, and choose the tools accordingly. Psychodynamic insight is the spine; CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and creative arts therapies are integrated when the work calls for them.
The spine of how we work. We surface the patterns underneath the symptoms, the unconscious loops driving the 1am rumination, the imposter spike, the perfectionism that has stopped paying off. Founder Efrat Gotlib trained at MITPP.
When a client needs tools they can use in the actual moment, we integrate Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior skills. Not as a stand-alone protocol, but as practical reinforcement for the deeper work.
For the high-achiever whose anxiety lives in the body, jaw locked through every review, chest tight before Monday. We integrate mindfulness and body-based approaches alongside conversation, so the nervous system can settle, not just be talked about.
When words have been used up, dance/movement therapy and art therapy give clients a way in that talk-only therapy cannot reach. Several of our clinicians are board-certified creative arts therapists.
Because I want something more than another coping skill.

FAQs
Most new clients sit down with their matched therapist within the same week of taking the quiz. Evening and weekend slots are available across all four NYC offices, seven days a week, so the first session can fit a real working calendar instead of requiring a vacation day.
We work with Cigna and Aetna plans. Coverage and benefits vary by plan, so we recommend verifying yours before your first session. Out-of-network and private pay options are also available, and our intake team will walk through what your specific plan looks like on the first call.
App-based care is built around symptom management. Therapy24x7 is built around what's actually fueling the anxiety. Our approach is depth-first, with skills integrated when the work calls for them. Clients who come to us after BetterHelp or Calm typically describe the difference as the work finally landing on something instead of skating across the surface.
The opposite tends to be the case. The aim isn't to make you care less. The aim is to recover from hard days in a day instead of a week, sleep through the night, walk into Monday without the chest tightness, and stop checking Slack at 11pm to feel caught up. Most clients describe their work as steadier, not slower, after a few months.
Both. We have four NYC offices, in Midtown, Chelsea, Brooklyn Heights, and the Upper West Side. Most clients see their therapist in person at the office closest to them. Secure video sessions are available across New York State for the weeks the in-person time isn't possible.
That's exactly what the five-question quiz is for. The quiz helps you self-select against patterns we work with regularly, and our intake team uses your answers to match you with the clinician most likely to land for what you described. If the match feels wrong after the first session, we re-match. The practice carries the responsibility for the fit, not the client.
No. Sessions are confidential. We do not contact employers. Insurance claims, when used, do not include session content. The work happens between you and your therapist, full stop.
