Our Favorite NYC-Based Therapy Collectives

It’s no secret that true wellness goes far beyond physical health. In recent years, mental well-being has (rightfully) taken center stage in the wellness conversation—and for good reason. Mental clarity is deeply interconnected with the health of your entire body, influencing everything from hormone balance to nervous system regulation and overall vitality. Thus, therapy is more than just a mental health tool; it’s a foundational component of holistic care, especially for those navigating the lingering effects of trauma or chronic stress.

But here’s the catch: finding the right therapist or practice can feel overwhelming. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all—approaches, modalities, and specialties vary widely. To help simplify the process, we’ve curated a list of our most trusted, thoughtfully selected therapy collectives and practices in NYC. Each offers something unique, whether you’re seeking trauma-informed care, integrative healing, or relational and somatic treatment.

Here are our favorite NYC-based therapy collectives: 

1. The Manhattan Psychotherapy Collective

   A boutique, integrative practice in NoMad (928 Broadway), this collective specializes in trauma, anxiety, relationships, and self-esteem, particularly among young adults. They combine holistic and science-based approaches in both in-person and virtual formats, prioritizing human connection as much as clinical outcomes.

2. The Root Therapy NYC

   Based in Brooklyn with virtual options, this practice is committed to helping clients get to the "root of the root." Their philosophy centers on understanding genetic and environmental influences as a path to meaningful, lasting change.

3. NY Therapy Collective

   Led by a highly trained, doctoral-level team, NY Therapy Collective offers a thoughtful, research-informed approach to healing. Their clinicians provide individual therapy, specialized group work, and evidence-based treatment for sleep challenges. From chronic pain and grief to postpartum transitions, burnout, and relationship concerns, their practice supports a full spectrum of mental health needs. With both in-person sessions in Manhattan and virtual options, care is as accessible as it is personalized.

4. Be WELL Psychotherapy

   Also located at 928 Broadway (Suite 405), Be WELL offers virtual and in-person therapy for individuals, couples, and teens. Their integrative model includes EMDR, mindfulness, holistic psychiatry, and perinatal support—offering a full-spectrum approach to mental wellness.

5. Katie Sussman Therapy (KTCounselling)

   A solo practice led by licensed Master Social Worker Katie Sussman, located at the ATTN Center (226 W. 26th Street) with virtual sessions available. Katie offers warm, grounded, and client-centered therapy tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Her approach is compassionate and flexible, making her practice ideal for clients seeking personalized mental health care that fits their lifestyle—whether in person or online.

6. My Soul Growth Therapy

   Elizabeth J. Tupling, MS, LLP, CFMW is a licensed clinical psychologist, Conscious Living Facilitator, and founder of Soul Growth Psychological Services, PLLC. Combining traditional therapy with energy-based practices, Liz helps individuals, couples, and organizations release limiting beliefs, heal ancestral patterns, and reconnect with their purpose. While she is not based in NYC, Liz offers virtual sessions and consultations worldwide. Learn more at mysoulgrowth.com or contact her directly at elizabeth@mysoulgrowth.com.

What Makes These Collectives Stand Out

What sets these therapy spaces apart is their commitment to whole-person healing. Many go beyond talk therapy by incorporating EMDR, somatic work, mindfulness, and relational modalities—supporting not just your mind, but your entire nervous system. Most offer flexible options, including virtual sessions and in-person appointments in centrally located Manhattan offices, making it easier than ever to prioritize your mental health.

Moving Forward With Intention

Seeking support can be challenging. Recognizing that you need help in the first place can be even harder. But that moment of self-awareness is often the most powerful step toward real healing. Understanding your unique needs and finding a therapist or modality that resonates is an essential part of the journey. Progress may not always be linear, but every step forward counts.

Wherever you are on your path, may you find the support, clarity, and care you need to move forward with intention and resilience.

Be Well,
