Therapy for Executives
2 Highly Recommended NYC Therapists for Executives & CEOs
The corner office often brings relentless pressure, high-stakes decisions, and little room to exhale. You may be succeeding on paper, but inside, you feel burned out, disconnected, or exhausted from having to be constantly “on.” At New York City Psychotherapists, we provide therapy for executives that helps leaders regain clarity, balance, and sustainable success. Meet our experts here and reach out when you’re ready to begin.
Common reasons why CEOs & executives seek therapy
You feel isolated at the top—making consequential decisions every day without a place to talk honestly about the pressure you carry.
Despite years of success, you worry you don’t really belong and fear being “found out.”
You’re running on fumes, but keep pushing forward, unsure how long you can sustain this pace.
Your relationships are strained because work never seems to shut off, and the people closest to you feel farther away.
No win ever feels like enough, and you keep raising the bar in ways that leave you chronically dissatisfied.
After a day of high-stakes choices, even small decisions feel exhausting or impossible.
Work has crowded out the rest of your life, and the personal priorities you care about keep getting postponed.
Everyone expects certainty from you, while privately you’re questioning your direction, motivation, or next move.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and therapy can help.

FAQs about therapy for executives & CEOs
-
The clinical foundations are the same, but we tailor our work to the realities of leadership—decision fatigue, isolation at the top, complex professional relationships, and the difficulty of being vulnerable when others depend on you. Our specialized services offer a confidential space to speak openly about pressures that often stay unspoken.
-
Absolutely. Confidentiality is central to therapy and protected by law. What you share stays between you and your therapist, with only limited legal exceptions, such as concerns about immediate safety. We understand that privacy is especially important for executives and take it seriously.
-
We do. Appointments are available seven days a week, including evenings, and we offer accessible virtual sessions that you can join from wherever is most convenient for you. Our goal is to make care accessible without compromising the quality or continuity of your work together.
-
That depends on your goals and what you want to work on. Some clients focus on specific concerns over a few months, while others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns around relationships, identity, or direction. We regularly check in about progress and adjust the plan as needed.
-
Therapy isn’t about optimizing productivity, but it often leads to changes that support stronger leadership, such as managing stress more effectively, communicating clearly, setting boundaries, and building confidence. Many clients notice improvements at work as a natural outcome of feeling more grounded and balanced.
