Get treatment for all your mental healthcare needs.
You are the expert on you—but sometimes you need the help of a trained professional to help you make sense of it all. Our therapists offer a variety of treatment modalities so you can get the help you need in a way that works best for you.
While we specialize in working with people struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns, we also work with people seeking treatment for non-eating related issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, career issues, and more.
Please schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation so we can learn more about what you are seeking help with and see if we may be a good fit.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy sessions, you’ll work one-on-one with your therapist to better understand patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily life. Together, you’ll explore what may be contributing to your current struggles and develop more supportive, sustainable ways of coping and moving forward.
Individual therapy is the foundation of treatment at Conason Psychological Services. It’s a space where therapy is tailored to your unique experiences, needs, and goals. Whether you’re struggling with eating issues, body image concerns, relationship difficulties, career stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, individual therapy can help you gain insight, build self-understanding, and create meaningful change.
Each therapist at Conason Psychological Services has unique areas of specialization. You can read more about each therapist on our team page, or contact us to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation so we can help connect you with a therapist who feels like the right fit.

Couples therapy
Couples therapy can help partners better understand one another, improve communication, and navigate patterns that may be creating distance, conflict, or disconnection. Some couples come to therapy feeling generally connected but wanting support through a difficult period or transition, while others are struggling more deeply or questioning the future of the relationship.
In couples therapy, you and your partner will work collaboratively with your therapist to explore what’s happening beneath recurring conflicts and build more supportive ways of relating to one another. Therapy may focus on communication, intimacy, emotional connection, conflict resolution, or the ways food, body image, stress, or life experiences are impacting the relationship.
During the initial consultation, we’ll work together to better understand your concerns and clarify goals for therapy.

Group therapy
In group psychotherapy, you will meet with other people struggling with similar issues and learn new ways to cope with your challenges. Please join the newsletter list to stay notified of upcoming groups.
We are currently accepting new clients for the following groups:
• Body Image Group—Do you struggle with body image? Have you embraced anti-diet approaches like mindful eating or intuitive eating but continue to not feel great in your body? Do you agree with body positivity, but it feels hard to apply it for yourself? In this ongoing virtual group, we’ll focus on improving body image through an acceptance-based weight-inclusive lens. Participants should have some prior experience with a fat-positive, weight-inclusive, Health At Every Size informed framework.
• What's Next? Transitioning From PHP/IOP Eating Disorder Treatment Group—Transitioning out of a higher level of eating disorder treatment can be daunting. Not only is change challenging to begin with, but a decrease in the routine, structure, support, and containment that treatment programs offer can be confusing and isolating. Understandably, questions like “what’s next?” or “who am I beyond my eating disorder?” often arise. Just as unlearning disordered thoughts and behaviors takes intentionality and exploration, rediscovering oneself can be a similarly meaningful process of relearning. This on-going in-person group for people transitioning out of PHP and IOP treatment settings will help participants explore and build one’s authentic values and identity and reclaim joy in a supportive recovery-focused community environment.
•Eating Disorder Recovery Group—Are you looking for conversations and connections as part of eating disorder recovery? Recovery does not stop when eating disorder behaviors do; there is much to explore and navigate. This group therapy space aims to bring together people who want to discuss self image, personal growth, tools for recovery, life transitions, and more. A licensed therapist will facilitate this group and foster an environment that is weight-inclusive, fat-positive, anti-diet, anti-oppressive, LGBTIA+ affirming, and disability affirming.
• BIPOC Eating Disorder Recovery Group—Are you a Black, Indigenous, or Person Of Color (BIPOC) individual in eating disorder recovery looking for a community in a therapeutic space led by two BIPOC therapists? Fatema Jivanjee-Shakir, LMSW and Sheba Antony, LMHC are excited to offer a new virtual group therapy space for BIPOC individuals in ED recovery led through an anti-diet, fat positive, trauma-informed, and gender inclusive lens. The group is currently open to NY residents looking to heal their relationship with food and body image.
60 mins | $100-$125 (price varies depending on group)
Virtual Therapy

Engage in therapy with one of our licensed psychotherapists from the comfort of your home. Research suggests that remote therapy (telehealth) is as effective as in-person therapy for a range of different conditions.
