Therapist for Panic Attacks Midtown Manhattan

Located in the heart of New York City and serving clients across New York State via telehealth, we are a full-service outpatient group practice providing psychotherapy, psychiatric medication management, and psychological assessment under one roof.
OUR ROLE
Panic attacks can feel sudden, frightening, and overwhelming. Our role is to help you better understand these experiences, reduce their intensity and frequency, and address the deeper emotional patterns that may be contributing to them.
What Sets Us Apart
Understanding Panic & AnxietyÂ
Panic attacks often involve intense physical and emotional symptoms such as a racing heart, dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, fear of losing control, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your surroundings. Over time, many people begin avoiding situations where panic might occur, creating additional stress and limitation in daily life.
In therapy, we explore both the immediate symptoms and the underlying emotional experiences connected to panic. From a relational and psychodynamic perspective, panic can develop in response to chronic stress, unresolved trauma, internal conflict, or longstanding patterns of emotional overwhelm. Understanding these patterns can help create more lasting relief.
How We Approach Treatment
Our psychotherapy services are integrative, relational, and trauma-informed. While psychodynamic understanding is foundational, we may also incorporate CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness-based strategies, and exposure-based techniques when clinically appropriate.
Treatment may focus on building emotional regulation skills, reducing fear around panic symptoms, and developing greater insight into triggers and relational dynamics that contribute to anxiety. We also consider the whole person in their social, cultural, and relational context rather than focusing only on symptom reduction.
As a collaborative group practice, our therapists can coordinate care with psychiatric providers when medication support may be helpful, creating a connected and comprehensive treatment experience.
