About Us
Our Team
Our multidisciplinary team is composed of over fifty psychotherapists and psychiatrists. Members of our staff are dedicated to providing focused care, which may involve individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, group therapy, and/or medication management. Clinicians collaborate with clients, setting attainable therapeutic goals and providing appropriate interventions to maximize functioning in all aspects of clients’ lives. We pride ourselves on the provision of individualized, strength-based, and confidential care to support a fully diverse range of clients.
As a not-for-profit, outpatient mental health practice licensed by the New York State Department of Health and Mental Health, we are dedicated to the provision of accessible and affordable care. We accept most major health plans and also offer a sliding scale fee structure dependent on client income.
Treatment
Fifth Avenue Therapy clinicians employ a variety of clinical modalities. We tailor each client’s therapy to suit their stated goals and strengths. Our overall approach is relational—that means we use the relationship that develops between therapist and client as a launching pad for how clients’ thoughts, feelings and behaviors affect other relationships in their lives.
Once that clinical relationship has been established in the first few sessions, therapists employ a number of psychodynamic (e.g. feelings-based) methods, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) (i.e. thoughts- and behavior-based), to help clients find psychic relief. Depending on the issues, our clinicians use elements of object relations theory, self-psychology, ego-psychology, and classical (Freudian) technique.

The Fifth Avenue Difference
In addition to more than fifty psychotherapists, Fifth Avenue has multiple psychiatrists on staff. Clinicians at Fifth Avenue work as a team to ensure that each client receives the constellation of care they require. Psychiatrists consult with therapists to assess clients for medication needs. When indicated, monthly visits with an assigned psychiatrist work in combination with weekly therapy sessions to alleviate distress. Couples therapy is available when partner-relational difficulties are the primary focus of treatment.
Fifth Avenue is a practice dedicated to the provision of excellent therapeutic care, ongoing training, and the continual improvement of our clinicians’ skills. Clients at Fifth Avenue Therapy get the benefit of not only their primary therapist, but the input of a number of highly-trained and compassionate professionals.
