Marc H. Epstein, DO, is an adult psychiatrist with specialties in addiction and psychotherapy. At his Greenwich Village, New York City practice, which offers two locations, Dr. Epstein helps patients grappling with mental and addictive disorders take back control, allowing them to live happy, well-adjusted lives for years to come.

Dr. Epstein has extensive training in several different therapies and tailors each of his treatments to best suit the patient. While Dr. Epstein is trained to treat all adult psychiatric disorders, his areas of expertise include mood and anxiety disorders, sleep disturbances, OCD, and addiction disorders, with an emphasis on both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology.
From anxiety and depression to problems with substance use and addiction, Dr. Epstein provides his patients with the right tools to break the vicious cycles that imprison them.

His interest in the human mind was fostered at an early age and shaped his education through college and into medical school. Dr. Epstein obtained his medical degree at Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Davie, Florida, and then completed his adult psychiatry training at Columbia University’s teaching hospital, St. Luke’s-Roosevelt, in New York.

After completing his residency, Dr. Epstein completed a fellowship in addiction psychiatry at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York.

Dr. Epstein is licensed to prescribe Suboxone, a specialized medication used in the treatment of opioid dependence. In addition to Suboxone, Dr. Epstein uses other medications, including Vivitrol® and naltrexone, to address addiction disorders.

If you are already seeing someone for talk therapy, Dr. Epstein is happy to collaborate with your therapist to ensure that you’re getting the quality comprehensive mental health treatment you need.

Anne’s passion is helping individuals achieve healing and wellness through a root cause approach. She has found that people have a deep, intuitive knowledge that their bodies can heal with optimized nourishment, movement, herbs and supplements while using meditation, mindfulness and cognitive restructuring to change their thoughts, bringing more joy and well being into their lives. Depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, and comorbid autoimmunity can improve and heal when people commit to changing their lifestyles, and Anne believes in the power of partnering with her patients to help them find their highest levels of health.

My clinical perspective is integrative, humanistic, and highly individualized. My goal is to guide each of my clients in creating a compassionate, authentic, and agentic voice that enables you to lead the life you envision for yourself.

My style is warm, interactive, and collaborative. I work with individuals and couples using holistic, innovative, and progressive clinical approaches that suit your unique needs. I have advanced training and experience in evidence-based techniques that address trauma, relationships, negative emotions, low self-esteem, grief, life transitions, and much more.

I am an LGBTQIA-affirming, anti-oppressive, inclusive, and social justice-oriented therapist who recognizes the diversity and uniqueness of all people. I am clinically licensed and accepting patients in both NY and MA!

I take an integrative approach to therapy, providing affirming, non-judgmental care and work with clients to achieve their goals and navigate life’s challenges with empowerment.

I believe that growth and well-being come from the work of learning to understand ourselves in new and deeper ways that allow us to reflect on the impact of our world and the intersectionality of our unique identities.  Our therapeutic relationship is built collaboratively and creates a space that supports an accepting, inclusive, non-judgmental and trusting environment where, together, we will explore and gain new insights into you - empowering you in your daily life, while fostering personal growth and well-being. My work is person-centered, holistic, and takes an integrative approach, informed by neuroscience, attachment theory, somatic work and trauma-informed modalities.

I work with individuals, couples and alternative relationship structures, informed by my work with kink/BDSM, ENM/CNM, poly, queer/non-straight, and GNC communities. Topics to touch upon in therapy can include anxiety, low mood and depression, life stressors and transitions, family challenges, relationship challenges, attachment injuries, maladaptive coping, LGBTQIA+ challenges, difficulties with loneliness and isolation, sexual challenges, intimacy issues, dating, ENM/CNM and polyamory, difficulties with communication, codependency, grief and trauma.

The society we live in doesn't always suit our needs and it can be enough to create a great deal of anxiety in anyone. We don't all think the same way or walk the same path, and we are learning more and more how diverse our brains and experiences can be. A society which is tailored to fit the needs of few can be traumatizing for those who think differently. 

I deeply value the rapport we can build together, and would feel honored and humbled if you shared your story with me. Meeting you where your journey is now, I support and encourage all communication styles, individual ways of thinking, and all varieties of emotional expression in therapy. With your permission, allow me to listen and help as you develop your own understanding in your own words. We can map where you want your path to take you next and what tools can help along the way. 

Seeing so many struggle to meet their needs under the burdens which modern life imposes on us all, I was drawn to therapy with a lens for consent, justice, and equity. I am experienced at working with clients who may be new to therapy, and I go through what to expect and I ask for consent before opening up any traumatic memories.  It takes more than just our minds to process anxiety, depression, or trauma which we feel in our heart and body. We can do grounding exercises together in session to help your body process what you are feeling so it can be released.

I want to be there for you to find your way of being your authentic self while navigating social pressures. 

To make sure I meet your needs, I offer 15 minute meet and greet consultations by phone or video call, to see if I am a good fit for you. I want you to have a therapist who you click with and who understands you. Please email me to schedule a consultation if you are curious or interested.

While our personal histories may inform our current struggles, it does not define who we are, or who we may become.

I use an integrative, client-centered approach and believe strongly in the power of self-efficacy, attachment theory, developmental psychology, family systems and neuroscience. I guide my practice with trauma-informed care, and I assist clients in developing their unique resilience story. This begins with relational connection, warmth, and radical self-acceptance co-created in the therapeutic environment. 

I have completed training in EMDR and utilize this in my practice as a unique and integrative tool to assist clients in achieving deep healing. I have helped both adolescent and adult clients with anxiety-based disorders including but not limited to; generalized anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and eating disorders.

Using empathy, acceptance, compassion, humour and transparency I aim to create a secure environment for clients to develop and explore their unique self. Having a background in dance, I strongly believe in the importance of mind-body connection and its impact on emotional experience. I invite clients to join me in co-creating an atmosphere of understanding where growth and emotional resilience develops, leading to a life of wholeness and personal fulfillment.

My vision of therapy is captured by a quote by Ram Dass; “We’re all just walking each other home.”

This “home” is a knowing; a peace and sense of safety and security within ourselves and within the world around us. While this journey home is beautiful and unique, at times, it can be treacherous and lonely, as we all face obstacles and barriers along the way. As your therapist, I see myself as your guide – someone to help you identify, navigate, and overcome whatever obstacles you face on your journey.

Using an integrative approach, I blend more traditional psychodynamic and relational therapies with evidence-based modalities, including but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. I am specially trained in trauma-informed approaches, as well as early child development. I use attachment and play-based approaches to help arm new and current parents with insights and techniques to tackle the challenges of parenting children with and without developmental differences and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

I work with adults to address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, body image and self-esteem, life transitions, trauma, social and work place challenges, and postpartum and perinatal issues. My style is warm, compassionate, and affirming; however, I challenge my clients as well. I can walk your path with you but not for you. Together we can help you realize, grow, and learn to utilize your own internal strengths and innate resilience as you make your way home.

Life can be chaotic, challenging and heartbreaking, but among all of that, beautiful and awe-inspiring. If you’re reading this, maybe you’ve already read a few of these therapist bios by now, but if you’re feeling alone in life’s big questions then look no further. I take a curious, yet “no-B.S.” stance as we explore life’s intricacies and curve-balls together in the therapeutic process. My experience with adolescents, emerging adults and older adults has helped me create a flexible approach to meet my clients where they’re at. Whether I am working with you, your child, or your family, I strive to create a judgment-free zone for my clients to experience the most authentic version of themselves.

I lean on a client-centered approach, meaning that I give my clients the space to be the expert in their own lives. Through mindfulness and dialectical behavioral therapy, I help my clients to practice gaining distance from overwhelming thoughts, feelings and emotions. That being said, I recognize that there is no “one size fits all” approach and I collaborate with my clients along every step of the journey. Showing up to therapy isn’t always easy, and I value the courage and vulnerability that it takes to invite someone into your inner world.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, loneliness, OCD, depression, grief, heartbreak, or a case of “what does it all mean” you won’t be at it alone. Much like the contradictions we encounter in life, the work we will do together will be challenging yet rewarding. 

I’m currently accepting both virtual and in-person sessions and look forward to hearing from you! 

I work with clients to build insight and skills that help to clarify challenges and maximize joy. Whether you're transitioning into a different phase of life or feeling stuck (hello, pandemic!), I will meet you there with curiosity and compassion. Together, we'll use a variety of techniques to identify both the barriers and the opportunities to lead the kind of life you want. While there is great strength in practicing healthy coping, self-care, and positive self-talk, I know that this is often much easier said than done! Sometimes we just need help developing, prioritizing and applying these skills and awareness in our daily lives.

This is especially true for new parents who find themselves thinking new thoughts and feeling new feelings along the journey of hoping for, planning and growing a family. I'm here to help. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing perfectionism, anxiety, depression, loss, and work-life balance issues, particularly during the perinatal period.

If these hopes and experiences resonate with you, I encourage you to connect with me for meaningful and personalized support. I look forward to our work together!

I offer an affirming, warm, compassionate therapy style for teens and adults who are experiencing a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, as well as with individuals with special needs and their loved ones. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), relational therapy, and trauma-informed care to help my clients gain insight, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal goals.

I have a particular interest in treating college students and young adults who are in a transitional or chaotic stage in their lives. I use an empathic and pragmatic approach in my work to help people gain access to negative thoughts and emotions. I prioritize a client-centered approach, where I adapt therapeutic interventions to meet your unique goals and needs based upon how you want to evolve.

My belief is that we all have the strength to overcome and grow through life’s challenges, even when they seem impossible to overcome. I am passionate about de-stigmatizing mental health care and building strong, long-term relationships with clients in order to join them on their healing journey. I view therapy as a partnership and look forward to getting to know you.
