What Makes Us So Different ?

Our focus is in treating individuals including but not limited to: artists, musicians, actors, dancers, designers, writers and other creative minded individuals experiencing creative blocks, life transitions, stress and relationship issues. Our practice is rooted in the theorist Abraham Maslow’s belief that every human being has the inherent right and need “to become everything one is capable of becoming.”

ARTS Rx is the only NY LCAT Group Private Practice in Manhattan that is an in network provider with a number of managed care organizations for more than 80% of the population we serve. We service a total of  200 clients each week through our individual and group programming which means we provide a total of 7,680 behavioral health sessions each year. We believe that vast strides and insight can be achieved within the safe and non judgmental space established between therapist and client. In turn our goal is to empower the individuals we serve to better understand and manage their own challenges, develop more effective coping skills and improve social and emotional functioning.
