Nothing but a truly wonderful experience. Manhattan mental health counseling provided me with a wonderful therapist and listened and supported me throughout my healing Journey for over a year. Throughout my healing Journey I was always sent encouraging messages and prompts and affirmations through email on a weekly basis that I added to my self-healing repertoire…

I was able to be paired with a therapist I actually connected with on the first try, which is pretty miraculous. Stephanie is absolutely wonderful. I have been seeing her for 7 months now and my experience has been seamless so far.

Over 2 years with my therapist and she’s a 10/10. She has helped me a lot with all of my issues, especially coping with BPD and depression. She’s very accommodating and willing to go above and beyond!

I’ve been with mental health counseling for over a year. I never have an issue contacting them via email. The Theranest, however, seems to glitch a lot. Overall, the therapist I had/have currently is great.

I have been receiving therapy sessions from MMHC since 2020 at the height of the pandemic. Experiencing anxiety in a new light scared me the most. I needed to get help ASAP. Googled around and stumbled upon MMHC. Ever since they have been super supportive and super accommodating. Deff a great place!!
