Emy Zener

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-R, (she/her/hers)

I am a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in the NYC area working with diverse adult clinical populations, from college-aged through seniors, and with all sexual orientations. In my private practice, I work with high-achieving individuals with a significant mental health and/or substance use history. I help bright, driven individuals who are on their way back up from darkness to light, from disorder and illness to recovery and mental health. Once the primary work is done and symptoms are under control, I help individuals along the next steps of the journey to build or rebuild a life, find a voice, and rediscover a sense of dignity and self.With the relationship at the center of treatment, I use a range of modalities tailored to the individual's needs, preferences, and style, including IFS, Harm Reduction, and psychodynamic models. Employing a unique combination of warmth, empathy, creativity, and humor, I help guide people toward realizing that recovery is real.

I approach therapy from a place of humor, curiosity and an honest desire to help you uncover those places where you feel most stuck in order to build the life that you want.
My practice draws from EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness based therapies in order to best fit your needs.

I have worked extensively with children, adults, and couples, navigating anything from life stressors to acute and ongoing traumas, to a desire to simply feel more connected to yourself and others

Rachel Magida

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MPH

For many people, the decision to seek therapy is made during a stressful time such as a breakup or a life transition. Although painful at the moment, this difficult time can serve as a motivator, leading to lasting change and greater life satisfaction. I provide a safe, authentic, and non-judgmental space to help you work through this stress and develop new coping strategies. In therapy we will explore your current and past relationships in order to promote insight and positive change. We will focus on practical skills that can help you get through this difficult period.
