Dr. Keara Mageras

You're doing fine on paper but you feel stuck anyway. Maybe you're holding yourself to a standard that's wearing you down, the job you worked hard for feels empty, a relationship feels uncertain, or a big change has you second-guessing everything. You want things to feel different, but figuring it out alone hasn't worked. This is the kind of work I do. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist offering remote therapy to adults across New York. I trained across several of New York's leading hospital systems and served as a Supervising Psychologist and faculty member at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Over the past seven years I've worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and at very different points in their lives, many of them in their 20s and 30s navigating anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem, relationships, career changes, and the transitions that come with this stage of life. I'd be glad to hear from you for a free 15-minute phone consultation, so we can talk through what you're looking for and get a feel for whether we're a good fit.

For me, the relationship between us isn't a backdrop to the work. It is the work. A strong, trusting connection is what makes real change possible, so before anything else I want the room to feel like a place where you can be honest. From there, we'll clarify your goals, look at the patterns and narratives that may be keeping you stuck, and make room for both immediate relief and longer-term growth. I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches and tailor how we work to what fits you. Some people come in wanting concrete tools and structure, others want space to understand long-standing patterns, and often it's both. My sessions balance warmth and encouragement with honest feedback and a gentle push toward change.

The first full session is mostly about getting to know you and what you're hoping for. We'll talk about what's been going on, a bit of relevant history and context, and the goals that matter most to you. By the end we'll start to shape a sense of direction and how we might work toward it. Most clients meet weekly, especially early on, and we'll adjust from there based on your needs and progress.
