Jake Hart Therapy is located at 970 Park Ave, New York, NY 10028 (Upper East Side of NYC). Seeing clients in NYC and throughout New York State. Learn more here.

I offer both NYC therapy in-person and virtual sessions for those located anywhere in New York State.

For those who prefer in-person sessions, I provide therapy at my office on Park Avenue in the Upper East Side of New York City. Whether virtual or in-person, my goal is to create a safe, supportive environment tailored to your needs.

I accept UMR Top Tier insurance for Mount Sinai employees and their dependents. This means eligible clients can access $0 co-pays for therapy services.

For all other clients, sessions are out-of-pocket. However, if you have out-of-network coverage or an FSA/HSA account through your employer, a portion of my fee is typically reimbursed after you’ve met your annual out-of-network deductible. I can provide a detailed statement (superbill) at the end of each month, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Additionally, I offer sliding scale options to make therapy more affordable. To learn more about rates and insurance details, click here.

My rates vary depending on the type of therapy:

• Individual Therapy: $200–$250 per 50-minute session (limited sliding scale spots available)

• Couples Therapy: $300 per 60-minute session

• Family Therapy: $400 per 90-minute session

• Group Therapy: $65 per session

I believe meaningful change begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is integrative, humanistic, and relational, recognizing that our emotional well-being is deeply connected to our relationships, life experiences, physical health, and the way we move through the world.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor our work to your individual needs, drawing on different therapeutic perspectives to help you better understand yourself, navigate challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. Grounded in compassion, empathy, and genuine human connection, our work together is designed to feel approachable, collaborative, and empowering.

The benefits of therapy extend well beyond our sessions, creating positive ripple effects in how you think, feel, connect with others, and experience everyday life.

I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations made within less than 24 hours may be subject to the full session fee. I understand that unexpected situations arise, so please reach out via text, call, or email if you need to discuss a change to your appointment.

I offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments, to accommodate busy professionals, students, and families. I also provide easy and accessible communication via text, call, and email, making it simple to schedule sessions and stay connected.

I offer a range of therapy services tailored to meet your unique needs, including individual, family, couples, group, and adolescent therapy. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and mindfulness-based practices. Each session is personalized to help you navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and personal growth.

You can schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your therapy needs, ask any questions, and determine if we’re a good fit. Contact me via text, call, email, or the online consultation form to take the first step toward your therapy journey. I look forward to hearing from you!

There's no one-size-fits-all timeline for therapy – some people come in to work through a specific challenge or life transition, while others are looking for deeper self-understanding and personal growth.

We'll work together to identify your goals and develop an approach that feels right for you, regularly checking in and adapting as your needs evolve. For some, that may mean several months of therapy; for others, a year or longer.

Consistency is an important part of building trust and making meaningful progress, which is why I typically recommend meeting once a week. That said, I understand that life is busy, and I aim to be flexible and accommodating whenever possible!

Therapy is for anyone looking to better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges, manage stress, strengthen their relationships, and/or find a greater sense of balance and fulfillment.

You don't need to be in crisis or have a specific diagnosis to benefit. Oftentimes, it's simply about creating space to reflect, gain perspective, and reconnect with what matters most to you.

I find that the people who can benefit most are those who sense that something in their lives could be different  – yearning for change but struggling to take the first step or  aren't quite sure where to begin. Whether you're navigating a major transition, feeling stuck in familiar patterns, or simply ready to invest in your personal growth, therapy can help you take that next step with greater clarity and confidence.

Healthcare professionals in New York navigate fast-paced schedules, long work hours, and emotionally tasking experiences. While anyone can benefit from therapy, I am passionate about supporting those in healthcare given my past experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Mount Sinai leading therapy sessions. I have a deep understanding of the complex and varied challenges healthcare professionals experience and believe my mindfulness-based approach to trauma and grief therapy can be particularly supportive.
