Therapy That Gets to the Heart of It.

Helping you move through trauma, anxiety, and stuck patterns—with clarity, skill, and compassion.

Evidence-Based, Trauma-Informed Support for Adults and Older Adolescents

In-person in NYC or online across NY, NJ, CT, MA, VA, and HI.

You’ve been holding it together for a long time.

On the outside, it might even look like you’re fine. But inside, there’s stuff that hasn’t been dealt with—old trauma, looping thoughts, emotional walls that feel impossible to take down.

You want to feel more like yourself again—calmer, more confident, more in control of your life.

You want your past to stop hijacking your present. You want relationships that feel less confusing, less one-sided, less like walking on eggshells. You want to stop second-guessing yourself all the time.

Therapy can help you get there.

Working together, you’ll learn how to handle overwhelming thoughts and emotions, make sense of what you’ve been through, and stop avoiding the things that matter most. You’ll build real skills to help you cope, connect, and move forward—with less shame and more clarity.

Focus Areas

Trauma & PTSD

Feel safer in your body, more present in your life, and less controlled by the past.

Anxiety & Depression

Quiet the inner chaos, lift the weight you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with motivation and joy.

Relationship Issues

Set healthier boundaries, trust yourself more, and create the kind of connections you actually want.

I’m Dr. Amy Vent

I’m a clinical psychologist, trauma specialist, and someone who genuinely cares about getting you where you want to go.

I’m direct, nonjudgmental, and grounded. If we work together, you’ll get a real relationship, a solid plan, and therapies that are proven to work. We’ll move at your pace, but we’ll move. My goal is to help you build the insight and tools to eventually not need me anymore.

How I Work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapies for Trauma

Like Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and DBT—these help you understand and shift the thoughts and behaviors that keep you stuck.

Feel steady. Clear-headed. In charge of your life again.

Therapy isn’t just about understanding what happened. It’s about changing how it affects you now—how you show up at work, in relationships, in the quiet moments with yourself. With the right support, you can stop bracing for impact all the time. You can feel more connected, more present, more confident making decisions that actually fit you. The fear doesn’t have to run the show anymore.
