About Daniel Gersten

As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenging experiences, including social anxiety, trauma recovery, addiction, depression and anxiety.

I specialize in creating compassionate, affirming therapeutic spaces where individuals can explore their deepest challenges. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, shame, post-traumatic experiences, and substance use concerns. I understand that healing is a deeply personal journey, and I’m committed to walking alongside my clients with empathy, respect, and professional expertise.

My therapeutic work is grounded in a holistic understanding of human experience, recognizing the unique strengths and resilience each person brings to their healing process. I aim to empower clients to develop meaningful coping strategies, build emotional awareness, and create positive transformations in their lives.

“Dan Gersten is the best counselor/therapist that I’ve had the privilege of working with. I’ve seen many counselors, but Dan’s methods were key in helping me succeed in sobriety after 13 years of heroin addiction. Dan has always remained professional, and does his job very well. He always takes it serious. He was able to help me find a better way to live and redeem a life I never thought possible . These are the reasons I sought him out personally when I needed to stay connected.”

“Daniel is great receptive understanding and straight forward”

“We’ve only had two sessions thus far, but Dan seems to genuinely care and take his work seriously. I’ve enjoyed my two sessions with him and I feel that working with him will be tangibly beneficial to me.”

“Hes a great therapist, listens, provides the necessary steps and help and is always open to be reached out to. Its been two weeks but I strongly feel like hes the best therapist I had”
