ONLINE THERAPY FOR SINGLES BASED IN NYC
SINGLE, SEPARATED, OR STARTING OVER: you’re allowed TO MAKE THIS CHAPTER YOUR OWN.
The life you’re building (or rebuilding) may look different than the one you imagined.
Maybe you thought you’d be partnered by now. Maybe a relationship or marriage you expected to last has ended, and you’re figuring out what life looks like on the other side. Or maybe you’re realizing that the path you’ve been following no longer reflects what you actually want.
Maybe you’re newly single and trying to figure out who you are outside of your relationship. Maybe you’ve stepped away from dating because you’re exhausted by the same patterns playing out again and again. Or maybe being single is a choice that feels right for you — but the questions, judgment, and concern from your family make it difficult to trust that choice.
For some women, this chapter also comes with the practical and emotional work of separation or divorce: reimagining your future, adjusting to new routines, and figuring out who you are when your family life looks so different than it used to.
However you got here, singleness can bring up some big questions.
You’re wondering…
How did my life end up looking so different from what I imagined?
Who am I outside of a relationship—and what do I actually want for myself?
How do I move forward when the future I planned has changed?
Why do I keep falling into the same patterns with the people I date?
How do I explain my choices to people who seem determined to question them?
What if everyone else really is moving forward while I’m standing still?
MY APPROACH
Being single isn’t a problem to solve.
So much of what we’re taught about a meaningful life seems to center around romantic partnership. When your life doesn’t follow that path — or when a relationship you expected to be part of your future evaporates — it’s easy to start wondering what that says about you.
In therapy, we’ll get curious about the expectations and stories you’ve internalized about relationships, singleness, and who you’re supposed to be. Which ones actually reflect what you want? Which ones came from your family, culture, past relationships, or the world around you? And where are those expectations creating tension in your life today?
We’ll explore what meaningful connection looks like for you beyond romantic partnership. Together, we can strengthen the relationship you have with yourself while making more room for the friendships, family bonds, community, and other forms of connection that make your life feel full.
The goal is to help you create a life you genuinely love and feel proud of, whether or not you are partnered.
That might mean building a fulfilling life as a single woman, finding your footing after the end of a relationship, or getting clearer about what you want to carry into whatever comes next.
MORE about MY APPROACH
Singleness therapy can help you:
-
Whether you’ve been single for years or are adjusting to life after a relationship or marriage, this can be an opportunity to get reacquainted with yourself. We’ll explore what matters to you now, not simply who you’ve been in relation to a partner
-
It’s hard to know what you want when you’re constantly filtering your choices through other people’s opinions. Therapy can help you get honest about your needs, values, desires, and boundaries so you can make decisions from a stronger sense of self.
-
A new chapter doesn’t require you to start from scratch. We can look at what you’ve learned from past relationships and experiences, what still feels true to you, and what you’re ready to approach differently moving forward.
-
Maybe your family has strong ideas about partnership, marriage, or what your life should look like. Maybe watching friends reach certain milestones leaves you wondering if you’re falling behind. Together, we’ll untangle what you actually want from the expectations you’ve inherited about what your life is supposed to look like.
-
Being single can create space to look honestly at what has and hasn’t worked in past relationships. If partnership is something you want in the future, we can explore the patterns you’d like to leave behind and what you want to bring with you into your next relationship.

FAQs
COMMON QUESTIONS
-
It’s hard not to internalize the message that being chosen by a partner says something about your value, especially when relationships, marriage, and family are treated like markers of a successful life.
Whether you’ve been single for a long time or are finding yourself single again after a relationship ends, your relationship status can start to feel like evidence that something is wrong with you. Therapy can help you question that story, explore where it came from, and build a sense of worth that isn’t dependent on whether someone else chooses you.
-
It’s hard not to compare when the people around you seem to be reaching milestones you once imagined for yourself. That comparison can feel especially painful when your own plans have changed — whether you’re single, separated, divorced, or simply questioning what you want next.
Therapy can help you separate someone else’s timeline from your own and get clearer on what a meaningful, fulfilling life actually looks like to you. The goal isn’t to never feel a pang of envy or sadness again — it’s to stop letting comparison determine how you feel about the life you’re building.
-
The end of a relationship can change much more than your relationship status. You may be grieving the future you imagined, adjusting to new routines or family dynamics, or trying to understand who you are outside of the life you built with someone else.
Therapy can give you space to make sense of what happened and what this transition means for you. Together, we can explore what you want to carry forward, what you’re ready to leave behind, and how you want to approach this next chapter of your life.
-
You can want a romantic relationship and still build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling right now. Being okay with singleness doesn’t mean convincing yourself you don’t want a partner. It means allowing your life to be fully yours in the meantime — not something you’re waiting to begin.
Therapy can help you make room for both: the desire for partnership and a deeper sense of contentment with the life you have today. The more grounded you become in who you are and what matters to you, the more intentionally you can approach relationships if and when they come along.
