Individual Therapy in NYC
Attachment-Based, Experiential Therapy at Our Kind Therapy
Individual therapy at Our Kind Therapy supports people whose lives may look functional on the outside while feeling unsustainable on the inside. You may be managing work, relationships, and responsibilities while something within you feels strained, disconnected, or no longer steady. Individual therapy offers a grounded space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and rebuild internal stability with care and clarity.
At Our Kind Therapy, individual therapy is about helping you feel safer being yourself in your own life. We work with adults navigating emotional health, relationships, identity, culture, career pressure, and major life transitions. Sessions are available across New York City, including Manhattan and Brooklyn, with in-person and virtual options.
What Brings People to Individual Therapy
People seek individual therapy for many reasons, often after carrying things alone for a long time. Common themes include:
Anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional burnout
Persistent self-doubt or imposter feelings
Difficulty trusting yourself or your decisions
Repeating relationship or attachment patterns
Grief, loss, or unresolved emotional pain
Feeling disconnected from your body or emotions
Pressure to perform, succeed, or hold everything together
Many clients are capable and high-functioning. Therapy becomes helpful not because something is “wrong,” but because holding everything alone has become too heavy.
Individual Therapy Is a Relational Process
Individual therapy is not just about insight. It is a relational experience in which change occurs through connection.
Your nervous system learned about safety, worth, and belonging in relationships. Healing also happens in relationships. Therapy becomes a place where your experience is met consistently, where emotions can move without being dismissed, and where new internal patterns can form.
This is especially meaningful for clients who learned early to self-silence, overfunction, stay composed, or disappear in order to stay connected.
How Individual Therapy Helps
Individual therapy supports you in:
Developing a steadier relationship with your thoughts, feelings, and reactions
Reducing anxiety and internal pressure
Building self-trust and emotional clarity
Strengthening boundaries without guilt
Processing grief, anger, fear, or shame safely
The goal is not to become someone else. It is to feel more grounded, present, and aligned in your own life.
Our Approach to Individual Therapy
Our work at Our Kind Therapy is attachment-based and experiential. We focus on what is happening in real time, not just what you understand intellectually.
Therapy may include:
Attachment-based work to explore safety, connection, and emotional needs
Experiential therapy to process emotion rather than analyze it
Somatic awareness to listen to the body’s signals
Relational work that uses the therapy relationship itself as part of healing
We do not rush insight or push disclosure. We move at the pace your system can integrate.
What Therapy Often Feels Like Over Time
Clients often describe changes that feel subtle at first, then stabilizing:
Less emotional reactivity
More clarity in decision-making
Greater ability to tolerate uncertainty
Clearer communication and more satisfying relationships
A softer internal voice
A growing sense of being at home in themselves
Therapy does not eliminate challenge. It changes how supported you feel while moving through it.
Individual Therapy During Life Transitions
Individual therapy is especially helpful during periods of transition, including:
Career shifts or professional pressure
Relationship changes or breakups
Parenthood or fertility decisions
Identity exploration
Periods of loss, grief, or disorientation
Transitions often reactivate old patterns. Therapy provides continuity and emotional containment while your life reorganizes.
