I am a New York State licensed clinical social worker who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy with extensive training in psychotherapy. I work with teens, adults, families and couples, treating issues including anxiety, depression, loss and addiction. In addition to a social work degree from New York University, I also trained at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in its Family and Couples Treatment therapy program.
Mario's experience in concert dance, movement healing, Neurosomatic Intelligence, catholic upbringing and curanderismo, makes Mario an ideal therapist for people looking to strengthen their relationship between Mind, Body, and Spirit.
Mario has worked with performing artists, adolescents, couples, immigrant families, older adults and QTBIPOC, in English, Spanish & Spanglish, addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and trauma. Mario's approach is pluralistic, body-centered and spiritually-sensitive.
As a humanist, I believe in the inherent worth to every single human being. I am guided by the ethos of a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, and it is with each movement that we get closer to where we want to be. Through intentional effort we encounter change, embrace healing, and a foster a fruitful fulfilling life.
Healing and growth can be challenging, and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re feeling the weight of past experiences or facing challenges in your relationship, we offer a warm, welcoming space for relational psychotherapy where you can be honest about what you’re carrying and feel fully supported. Our work is grounded in relational and attachment-focused therapy with attention to somatic awareness.
We focus on what matters most—the moments that spark insight, the conversations that feel necessary but tough, and the steps that help you move forward. Together, we will process what has been difficult, nurture your connection with yourself, and deepen your bond with the people who matter most.
Hi, and welcome! Through our work together, I look forward to learning more about you and your experience, and helping you to find your way confidently to a more fulfilling life. I work in partnership with my clients to develop the most effective goals for treatment and beyond. I’ve worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, and have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety and ADHD, amongst others.
Hi! I am Dr. Thomas Rigg and I am a licensed psychologist based in New York City. I have been passionate about helping people since childhood. I strive to provide a warm and encouraging environment for clients from varying cultural, social, and gender identities to continue their healing journey and live a fuller life. I am dedicated to providing an environment where clients of all identities can be authentically themselves and acknowledge the importance of genuine self-expression for clients, both in the therapy space and throughout their lives.
I earned my bachelor’s degrees and doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from The University of Iowa. I gained experience working in college counseling centers and community mental health centers during my program. I also worked in a women’s shelter for several years providing support and resources to victims of domestic violence. During my doctoral program I conducted research on identity development and my thesis explored the impact that a client’s comfort expressing their culture to others had on their outcomes in therapy. I completed internship at George Mason University’s counseling center and finished my postdoctoral work at a private practice in New York City working with a wide range of adult clients.
I am a psychiatrist with years of further training and experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I treat a wide array of issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, grief, problems in intimate relationships, and chronic dissatisfaction to a general sense of malaise. I also work with patients who are experiencing confusion about their feelings and an inability to make important decisions, and who thereby feel stuck and unable to move forward. In addition, I help patients going through a crisis or a life transition that may lead to an increased burden of demands requiring change.
I work with patients to help them recount and revisit their life's story and create a new narrative that works better for them. In that spirit, I don't give overt advice, instructions, or quick solutions, but instead encourage them to arrive at their own solutions after carefully exploring the roots of their current problems.
I have a judicious approach to prescribing medications when warranted to support the work of therapy.
