Chelsea Therapy

Chelsea therapy with Citron Hennessey Therapy—near Flatiron or via secure telehealth across New York.

Chelsea Therapy

If you’re looking for Chelsea therapy, you deserve support that fits real life in New York, that’s clear, compassionate, and easy to start.

At Citron Hennessey, we keep the process simple: a brief consult to understand your goals, a plan you can see, and evidence-based care tailored to your pace. You can meet in person in central Manhattan (Flatiron District) or opt for secure telehealth services across New York, whichever works best for your schedule and privacy.

Whether you’re a busy professional, a creative on a deadline, or a local family navigating change, we’ll help you take the next step.

Who We Are: Chelsea Therapy in New York City

We’re a NYC practice for adults, focused on respectful, team-style care grounded in research. Do you prefer in-person therapy sessions in the therapy room? Visit us in Flatiron. Need flexibility? We offer secure virtual therapy across New York.

From your first message, we prioritize fit, clarity, and steady communication, laying out options, confirming goals, and agreeing on a workable cadence.

Many people find us through thoughtful reviews and word of mouth; we honor that trust by showing up consistently and explaining each step in plain language. Learn more on our About page, or reach out through Contact to ask questions or schedule a consultation.

What We Offer: Individual Psychotherapy in Chelsea and Statewide Online

We offer individual psychotherapy for adults, providing clear treatment planning and practical skills that can be applied between sessions.

Your clinician may draw from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and Choice Theory/Reality Therapy, matched to your goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Getting started is simple: inquiry → brief consult → first session with a written plan you can see and adjust together.

Conditions We Treat: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and More

You don’t need to “have it all together” to begin. We commonly support concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, trauma responses, perfectionism, life transitions, relationship patterns, and self-esteem. Together, we’ll map what’s happening in day-to-day life and build skills that help you feel steadier and more in control. If your primary needs fall outside our scope, specifically Bipolar I disorder, borderline personality disorder, heavy substance use, eating disorders, or schizophrenia, we’ll provide a referral to specialized services so you receive the right level and type of care. Our goal is to offer respectful guidance and a clear, actionable plan moving forward at a pace that suits your life in New York City.

Our Therapy Approaches: Evidence-Based and Personalized Care

There isn’t a single “right” plan. We tailor therapy to you, taking into account your goals, pace, and preferences, and we adjust as your life changes. Our clinicians thoughtfully blend approaches to ensure your care remains practical and effective.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps your brain reprocess distressing memories so they feel less urgent now. Using structured bilateral stimulation, we reduce emotional intensity and update stuck beliefs at a safe pace.

CBT and REBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) surface patterns that fuel anxiety, shame, or avoidance. You’ll practice skills between sessions, such as thought records and behavioral experiments, to build flexible thinking and behavior.

ACT and DBT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-guided action, even when difficult thoughts are present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) incorporates mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and boundary skills to promote more stable day-to-day coping.

AEDP and Choice Theory/Reality Therapy

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) focuses on safety in the therapeutic relationship and facilitates the experiential processing of emotions. Choice Theory/Reality Therapy clarifies what you can control and strengthens agency through practical decisions.

In-Person Therapy in Flatiron & Online Therapy Across New York

Prefer face-to-face sessions? We meet in person at our central Manhattan office in the Flatiron District, a quick subway ride from Chelsea. If commuting isn’t workable, we also offer secure telehealth for clients located anywhere in New York State.

We’ll collaborate on which format best supports your goals, privacy, and schedule, and you’re welcome to switch formats as your life changes. Our focus stays the same in either setting: clear plans, evidence-based care, and steady progress at a pace that respects you.

Benefits of Therapy: Calmer Mood, Better Sleep, Clearer Boundaries

Calmer baseline and steadier mood, with improved sleep and focus
Relief from intrusive thoughts and hyperarousal, with fewer reactivity spikes
Clearer communication, stronger boundaries, and healthier relationship patterns
Greater self-awareness, confidence, and values-aligned choices

Timelines vary for each person. We’ll move at a pace that respects you and adjust the plan as your needs change.

We coordinate scheduling around work and life demands to ensure care remains sustainable (we don’t promise nights or weekends). For fees and current availability, please contact us.

If you plan to use out-of-network benefits, we can provide documentation that may assist with claims. If you have accessibility needs, such as building access, mobility assistance, or telehealth setup, please share them with us before your first visit so we can plan together.

FAQs: Chelsea Therapy Services, Telehealth, and Getting Started

How soon can I start?

After you reach out, we’ll schedule a brief consult to clarify goals, preferences, and logistics. We’ll then share the earliest availability that fits your schedule and keep timelines transparent if there’s a wait. You’ll know exactly what the next step is.
Is virtual therapy as effective as in-person?

For many concerns, yes. Outcomes often hinge on consistency, a clear plan, and a strong therapeutic relationship. We’ll help you choose the format — whether in-person in Flatiron or secure telehealth — that aligns with your goals and privacy needs, and you can switch later if your circumstances change.
How do I choose a therapist or approach?

We start with your goals, pace, and preferences. Your clinician will explain options in plain language and recommend a path forward, then adjust it based on your feedback.
Do you offer EMDR virtually?

Many clients can do Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) via secure video with the right setup and safety planning. If your needs suggest an in-room approach, we’ll discuss the reasons and plan accordingly.
What concerns do you not treat, and how do referrals work?

If your primary needs include Bipolar I disorder, borderline personality disorder, heavy substance use, eating disorders, or schizophrenia, we’re not the right fit. We’ll provide referrals to specialized services, ensuring you receive the appropriate care.
How do fees and out-of-network benefits work?

Please contact us for current rates. If you have out-of-network benefits, we can provide documentation that may help you in submitting a claim to your insurer. We keep billing conversations straightforward.
Can I switch formats (in-person ↔ virtual) or therapists?

Yes. Fit and consent come first. If something isn’t working, whether it’s style, schedule, or format, we’ll discuss options and help you transition so that therapy remains useful and sustainable.
What should I expect in the first few sessions?

A collaborative start: clarifying goals, setting a workable cadence, and agreeing on boundaries and between-session tools. We’ll check in regularly and refine the plan as your needs evolve.
How do I prepare for telehealth?

Choose a private space, use headphones, and test your internet connection. We’ll establish a simple backup plan (for example, switching to audio) so sessions stay focused even if technical hiccups occur.
