Psychotherapy in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Boston/Cambridge, and Northern New Jersey

Prospect Psychology is a boutique practice of highly trained psychologists, working together to provide customized therapy for adults, couples, children, adolescents, and families. We believe that excellent therapy improves people's lives in substantial, meaningful ways, which is what our patients should expect from working with us. We are trained in frontline evidence-based methodologies to address relationship stress, anxiety, depression, the transition into parenthood, eating disorders, grief, and trauma. Some of our patients will come to therapy not to address a symptom or crisis, but because they want to use psychotherapy to enhance their lives. They are looking for therapy that is fresh and dynamic. Our patients lead demanding lives and come to the practice for exceptional care that matches the goals and concerns they bring to therapy. They want to grow and we want to help them. We love what we do, and in turn, we are committed to the care and growth of the people we work with. 

Individuals

Individual psychotherapy can be beneficial for addressing a wide range of issues, including grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, relationship problems, anger, and self-esteem issues.

Couples

Couples therapy can help to deepen the relationship, improve communication, address long-standing difficulties, consider parenting challenges, improve sexual connection, address the impact of infidelity, or handle a marital crisis. Whatever brings a couple in, they can expect to be heard and helped.

Adolescents

We hold particular expertise in adolescent development and we are committed to supporting teens, helping them learn skills for managing school-related stress, coping with intense emotions, and improving and regulating their mood.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is tailored to your child’s temperament and needs. It can help your child improve social and communication skills, focus and frustration tolerance, and learn coping skills with new ways to solve problems.

Parent Support

If a child is going through a hard time, often a parent is also under stress. When parents engage in parent support therapy they often experience enhanced communication with their child, increased trust, and improved strategies for constructively resolving conflicts.
