INDIVIDUAL THERAPY IN NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY

For people who’ve been managing a lot on their own.

Most of our individual clients aren’t in crisis. They’re thoughtful, capable people who’ve been holding a lot for a long time, and they’ve started noticing it’s costing more than it used to. This is therapy for that.

You’ve probably already tried a lot of things.

Reading. Sleeping more. Working out. Calling the friend who’s good at this. Some of it helps. None of it quite touches the thing underneath. That’s usually when people end up here.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT FIXING YOU

Therapy at Rubin is relational, collaborative, and grounded in real connection. Sessions are paced with care and shaped around you, not a preset formula.

Your therapist takes time to understand your experiences, relationships, and the context you live in. Together, you’ll explore emotions, patterns, and protective strategies that may have once been helpful but now feel limiting or exhausting.

You don’t need a diagnosis or a clear plan to start.

Individual therapy may be a good fit if you’re:

Feeling anxious, burned out, or emotionally stretched thin

Exploring identity across gender, sexuality, culture, or values

Navigating relationship or family dynamics

Carrying the impact of past experiences

Moving through a life transition or career shift

New to therapy and unsure where to begin

How therapy can help

Rubin Therapy clinicians use evidence-informed, relational approaches tailored to each individual. Our work is flexible and responsive, shaped by your needs rather than rigid techniques.

We are identity-aware and affirming, and we pay attention to how relationships, culture, and systems shape the patterns people carry.

OUR APPROACH TO INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Relational and evidence-informed therapy that prioritizes understanding over quick techniques
Thoughtfully integrates approaches like trauma-informed care, attachment work, and somatic awareness
Identity-aware, culturally aware, and affirming across gender, sexuality, and lived experience
Collaborative and transparent — you’re always part of the conversation about how the work unfolds

What is individual therapy and how does it work?

Individual therapy is a one-on-one space to explore your thoughts, emotions, patterns, and relationships with the support of a licensed therapist. At Rubin Therapy, individual therapy is collaborative and relational. Many people worry about how to fill the time or whether they’ll know what to talk about — that’s not something you need to figure out on your own. Your therapist will help guide sessions, especially early on.

How do I know if individual therapy is right for me?

Individual therapy can help if you’re feeling anxious, burned out, disconnected, or unsure about next steps. Many people come not because something is “wrong,” but because something doesn’t feel aligned or sustainable. You don’t need a diagnosis or a clearly defined goal to begin. Curiosity and openness are enough.

What do you talk about in individual therapy?

Sessions follow what feels most relevant to you. Common ground includes current stressors, relationships, emotions, past experiences, and recurring patterns. Over time, therapy can help you build new insight, strengthen emotional awareness, and create changes that feel more grounded and intentional in daily life.

Do you offer virtual individual therapy in New York and New Jersey?

Yes. Sessions are available via telehealth when you’re physically located in New York or New Jersey at the time of the session. We also offer limited in-person availability in Brooklyn, NY.
