I provide judgment-free therapy to New Yorkers struggling with anxiety, crippling self-doubt, and chronic work stress.

Let’s face it – life after college is HARD.

You’re learning to balance all of your responsibilities while also trying to make time for yourself, but are trapped in a vicious cycle of work-stress-repeat feel like there is no way out. Making friends feels more challenging, especially if you already feel out of place in social settings. And you start seeing everyone around you moving forward in their lives and are worried about being left behind.

Trust me, I have SO been there. And I know that it’s sometimes scary to reach out for help when you need it most. But I promise, no matter what you’re going through, there’s a way out of the pain.

You don’t have to try and feel better on your own.

Hi! I'm Paige Rechtman

I listen with an open-mind and with empathy, so you feel safe to talk about whatever is bothering you. Together, we will create a space for you to dive deeper, explore who you are, and recognize what makes you awesome!

I also use mindfulness techniques and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to help you gain a broader perspective and see things differently. Soon, you’ll learn to reframe the way you see yourself and construct a more positive view of your life.

My hope is that after our sessions, you’ll feel more grounded and better able to cope with everyday stressors. And that you’ll let go of your insecurities and face your challenges head-on without fear, shame, or stress.

Going Through A Tough Time? Get Good at Being Not Okay

If you’re going through a tough time, it’s perfectly okay to feel not okay. Here is how you can get good at it.

A few kind words from my clients

I started seeing Paige when I was having a crisis in my career. She ended up providing therapy for much more than just my job. My communication with my friends, family, and partner are so much better because of my sessions with Paige. I am able to really pinpoint my needs and express them. Paige can lightly steer the conversation where I need it to be. This therapy has contributed to my overall health and quality of life. I can't recommend her enough.

I came to Paige for a very specific problem. I wanted to get married to a woman and needed help coming out to my religious, homophobic family. I didn't think they could accept it and was sure they would never speak to me again. I needed support and help to get through it. I got a lot more than just that. Over the years, Paige helped me improve my self-esteem, unpack many personal issues so I can begin to work on them, manage my anxiety, and prioritize my mental wellness. She helped me improve myself and how I live my life."

After working with Paige for 2 years I can honestly say I see a lot of personal growth from when I first met her. I do not think I would have persevered without our weekly sessions. She is extremely approachable and genuine. I have worked with Paige both in person and online and in both environments she has provided me with a safe and comfortable space. I highly recommend working with her!

Paige is extremely supportive and open-minded, yet knows how to challenge you when you need to explore a new perspective. Paige has helped me navigate a very wide spectrum of topics, from work challenges to deep-rooted family issues, breakups + dating, the loss of pets, and just about everything in between. She creates a judgement-free, safe space where I can be vulnerable and work through anxiety and depressive moods at a pace that feels comfortable.
