Staten Island Mental Health Therapy

Work toward clarity and growth with Citron Hennessey.

Staten Island Therapy

Staten Island mental health care is now conveniently accessible, eliminating the need for a ferry ride or hours spent in traffic. At Citron Hennessey Therapy, a Manhattan-based practice, we deliver the same high-touch experience you’d expect in our Flatiron office through a secure telehealth platform that fits seamlessly into your day.

Flexible scheduling allows you to book morning, lunchtime, or evening sessions; encrypted video ensures total privacy; and our client-centered approach keeps therapy focused on your goals, whether you need practical coping tools, deeper insight, or both. Wherever you log in from Tottenville to St. George, you’ll meet a compassionate clinician ready to support your next chapter, physically and emotionally.

Accessible Mental Health Care for Staten Island

Teletherapy First: Our HIPAA-compliant video sessions eliminate commute barriers, providing you with therapy that starts and ends on time, with no subway delays or parking hassles.

Optional Manhattan Visits: Prefer an occasional face-to-face check-in? You can split your care between virtual appointments and in-office sessions at our Flatiron location, choosing the format that best suits your needs and keeps you most engaged.

Seamless Technology Support: We provide quick-start guides, test calls, and real-time tech help so your focus stays on therapy, not Wi-Fi settings. If a glitch occurs, your clinician will switch platforms or phone in to keep the conversation flowing.

Who We Help

Adults aged 24–50, especially working professionals and young adults navigating significant life transitions.
Clients seeking practical, skills-based support rather than open-ended talk therapy
Individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, career stress, or life-stage changes—and ready to turn insight into action

Evidence-Based, Compassionate Therapy

Our approach to Staten Island mental health care blends compassion with proven science. Every treatment plan is tailored, but each draws from a toolkit of gold-standard modalities:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – untangles unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so you can respond with clarity instead of reflex.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – builds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful communication.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) – helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) – teaches you to notice difficult feelings without judgment and act in line with your core values.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) – challenges irrational beliefs that fuel persistent anxiety, anger, or shame.
Choice Theory/Reality Therapy focuses on personal responsibility and practical decision-making in everyday life.
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) – uses secure therapeutic attachment and deep emotional work to foster lasting change.

Regardless of the blend of therapies we choose together, the goal is always the same: meaningful progress that you can feel in your day-to-day life.

Outstanding Reputation: Thousands of verified five-star reviews and exceptional client retention reflect the quality of our care and the genuine connections we build.

Therapist Ethos: We center every session on honest dialogue, clear goals, and measurable outcomes. You’ll always know why we’re using a particular technique and how it supports your progress.

That means we refer out for severe substance use disorders, eating disorders, schizophrenia, and Bipolar I. By staying within our expertise, we ensure every client receives the right level of care from day one.

With transparency, accountability, and a commitment to real-world results, Citron Hennessey Therapy provides a level of support that stands out city-wide and now serves Staten Island residents with the same high standards.

How to Get Started

Reach Out: Submit a quick contact form or call our office to let us know you’re interested in working together. A member of our coordination team will respond—typically within one business day—to answer initial questions and schedule your consultation.

Personalized Intake: During a brief phone or video call, we’ll explore your goals, scheduling needs, and therapist preferences. This conversation helps us match you with a clinician whose style, experience, and availability align with what you’re looking for.

Begin Therapy: After we find the right therapist for you, you can jump straight into virtual sessions from the comfort of Staten Island or hop over to our Flatiron office whenever you’d like a face-to-face chat. Many clients mix and match: using telehealth for busy weeks and in-person visits when it feels right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to travel to Manhattan?

No. Our HIPAA-compliant teletherapy platform delivers the full Citron Hennessey experience without a single ferry ride. You’ll meet your therapist in a secure video room, share screens for skill-building exercises, and receive the same evidence-based guidance you would get in our Flatiron office. If cabin fever strikes, you’re welcome to book an in-person session, but it’s never required.
Can you help with anxiety or panic?

Absolutely. Anxiety, whether it shows up as constant worry, muscle tension, or a sudden panic attack, is one of the issues we treat most often. Therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teach practical strategies for calming the body, reframing catastrophic thinking, and regaining a sense of control. Many clients begin to notice relief within the first few weeks of consistent practice.
What if I don’t know which therapy is right for me?

You don’t have to decide that on your own. During intake, we ask about your symptoms, past therapy experiences, learning style, and preferences. Our clinical director considers details when pairing you with a therapist whose primary modalities align with your needs. As therapy progresses, your clinician may weave in additional approaches like EMDR for trauma processing, for instance, or DBT skills for emotional regulation, so your plan evolves right alongside your growth.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

For most talk-based modalities, research shows virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. In some cases, it’s even more helpful: you save travel time, meet in a familiar environment, and may feel safer discussing sensitive topics from home. We maintain video quality standards, offer tech support tips, and can switch to phone backup if your internet connection hiccups, so therapeutic momentum is never lost.
How soon can I book my first session?

Speed matters when you’re ready for help. After your initial outreach, we typically schedule the intake call within two to three days. Therapist matching occurs immediately afterward, and most clients begin sessions within a week, sometimes sooner, if your calendar is flexible. Evening, early morning, and lunchtime slots are available to accommodate the demanding work schedules common among professionals on Staten Island.
