Welcome to Equity Therapy

Therapy isn't just for when everything falls apart — it's also a place to put things together.


At Equity Therapy in New York City, we believe therapy is a proactive tool for self-understanding, growth, and emotional resilience. More and more people are realizing that mental health care is just as essential as physical health care — and therapy offers a space to explore what matters most.

Common Reasons People Start Therapy:
  • To manage stress, anxiety, or depression

  • To navigate identity, life transitions, or grief

  • To improve relationships or set healthy boundaries

  • To build emotional resilience and self-compassion

  • To simply get to know themselves more deeply


You don’t need to be “in crisis” to seek support. In fact, the best time to start therapy is often before things reach a breaking point.


Benefits of Working with a Therapist:
  • Clarity and insight about patterns and beliefs

  • Support for big life changes or decisions

  • A confidential, non-judgmental space to be real

  • Practical tools for managing emotions and stress

  • Permission to slow down and focus on you


At Equity Therapy, we specialize in working with people who are ready to stop just surviving and start thriving — especially members of the LGBTQIA+ community, high-achievers, and corporate professionals.
