What we will not claim
Nobody can promise what therapy will do for you. Here is what this practice promises instead.
AI-generated illustration. Not a real office.
New York's rules forbid a licensed professional to guarantee that a cure or satisfaction will follow, and a practice that invented its clinicians has no results to prove. So this site promises what it can keep — fifty minutes, attention and honest reviews — and never an outcome.
What you will see advertised
“Feel better in six sessions — guaranteed, or your money back. Proven results for anxiety and depression.”
Quoted in order to be refused: this practice never says it, and the rest of this page says why.
Why a practice says it, and why it misleads
A person who has finally decided to ask for help wants to hear that it will work. A set number of sessions makes the hope concrete, and an offer of the money back sounds like confidence.
It misleads because therapy depends on the person, the fit with the clinician and what is going on in a life, none of which a website can see. A promise of improvement by a set date means one of two things: the promise will not be kept, or what counts as improvement will be defined so loosely that it cannot be missed. A money-back offer also turns a relationship into a purchase with a clock on it, and somebody who is still struggling at the end of the stated number of sessions should not feel they have missed a deadline.
What a practice can honestly promise is smaller and keeps better: attention, fifty minutes of it, and a regular, open look at whether the work is helping.
What the law says
As it read in October 2026.
It is unprofessional conduct to guarantee that satisfaction or a cure will result from professional services (8 NYCRR § 29.2(a)(6)).
A licensed professional may not advertise in a way that guarantees a service or makes a claim it cannot substantiate (8 NYCRR § 29.1(b)(12)).
- 8 NYCRR § 29.2(a)(6) (opens the source in a new tab) It is unprofessional conduct to guarantee that satisfaction or a cure will result from professional services.
- 8 NYCRR § 29.1(b)(12) (opens the source in a new tab) A licensed professional may not advertise in a way that is false or misleading, guarantees a service, makes a claim it cannot substantiate, claims superiority, or offers a bonus or inducement other than a reduced fee.
What this practice does
Therapy works differently for everyone. We can't promise a particular result, and nobody honestly can, but we'll review with you regularly how it's going and whether something else would serve you better.
Nothing on this website can tell you what is going on for you. A diagnosis, where one is needed, comes from a clinician who has met you — never from a page, a quiz or a booking form.
