Why choose Behavioral Health of New York?
Evidence-Based Therapy. At BHNY we use therapy methods backed by scientific research. This means we use treatments that have been proven effective for many conditions, giving clients a high standard of care.
PhD-Level Psychologists. While many practices have only masters level counselors, we have mostly PhD-level Psychologists. Psychologists receive the highest level of education and training of mental health therapists.
Male Psychologists. Most therapy practices are predominantly female. In fact, it’s difficult to find a male psychologist in New York City. Having mostly male psychologists at BHNY makes us unique. This can be particularly helpful to male clients who feel more comfortable working with a man, or, for female clients seeking a male perspective on certain issues they'd like to overcome in therapy.
Professional Initial Consultation: While many practices employ an intake coordinator without a mental health degree to assign you to a therapist, we don’t believe that’s an effective way to set up your treatment. At BHNY your initial consultation is with our practice director, Dr. Mitchell S. Levy. You’ll receive an in-depth consultation to determine which therapy method and which psychologist in our practice is best suited to you. Having the right fit is very important for your treatment success.

Therapy in NYC
New York City (NYC) is one of the greatest cities in the world, known for its endless excitement, world-renowned arts & culture, famous landmarks, and the epicenter of global finance at Wall Street. Yet, with all the exhilaration New York offers, living here can present unique challenges. The high pressure of demanding jobs, the financial burden of sky-high rents and real estate, the relentless fast pace, and the crowded, noisy streets can take a toll on one's mental health.
At Behavioral Health of NY, we understand the daily challenges New Yorkers face. Our PhD-level psychologists are here to provide therapy to help with the stress and complexity of living and working in NYC. Our goal is to help you develop coping strategies to better manage anxiety, work stress, depression, relationship conflicts, and the general pressures of living in one of the world’s most demanding cities.
How To Get the Most Out of Therapy
While therapy can help you deal with a variety of mental health issues, there are some things you can do to ensure that you’re getting the most out of the services you receive. First, we recommend having an initial consultation with our director, Dr. Mitchell Levy, to determine the best method for your specific needs. This session will also determine which psychologist or therapist fits you best. Next, we advise that all patients attend therapy sessions weekly. Once specific goals are reached, you can decrease the frequency of your sessions.
