A little about Justena...
Since 2014, NYC Counseling has been a specialized psychotherapy and coaching practice built for ambitious individuals, couples, and families navigating the legal and emotional realities of high-conflict divorce, separation, and court-involved co-parenting. Our clinicians draw from first-hand backgrounds as Wall Street professionals, tech CEOs, Ivy League academics, and creative leaders, bringing clinical depth and a direct understanding of the compounding pressures our high-achieving clients face.
The practice excels at resolving intense interpersonal friction, managing cases involving coercive control, and addressing the precise fractures that disrupt affluent family systems. We focus on helping clients minimize the trauma of high-conflict divorce to themselves and their children. Our broader expertise integrates support for intersecting crises, including founder disputes, substance misuse, and compulsive behaviors. We provide practical, strategic care designed to de-escalate crisis, break dysfunctional generational cycles, and help clients find lasting fulfillment, peace, and success beyond material achievements.
Beyond traditional therapy, we offer curated consultations, workshops, parent coaching, and immersive intensives. We run several divorce and narcissistic abuse recovery groups, see children going through separation, and offer targeted parent therapy for ADHD.
Deeply embedded in the family law ecosystem, we routinely collaborate with family law attorneys and custody professionals. We offer expert testimony, work with parents going through custody evaluations, and provide crucial collateral to evaluators. Furthermore, we provide certified Parenting Coordination and Guardian ad Litem services.
With over 25 years of clinical and academic experience, our founder, Justena Kavanagh, leads international peer consulting groups for divorce professionals. We also operate a non-profit dedicated to providing training to family court professionals—including judges, attorneys, PCs, GALs, and therapists—alongside advocacy for targets of coercive control and mental health scholarships. Physical offices in Manhattan and Miami; virtual care available widely.
