Hi, I’m Bobby.
You don't need to have a crisis to start therapy.
Sometimes you simply reach a point where the way you've been living no longer feels like the way you want to live.
I'm Bobby Matoney, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York City. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, substance use, body image concerns, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life's inevitable transitions.
My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I believe therapy works best when you don't feel analyzed from across the room. Instead, we become curious together about the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and stories that have shaped your life.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as a professional actor. Long before I studied psychology, I studied people. I learned how to listen beneath words, stay present with emotion, and appreciate the complexity of what it means to be human. Those lessons continue to shape the way I show up in the therapy room today.
At my core, I do not believe people are broken, but I DO believe people adapt. The symptoms that frustrate us today often began as creative attempts to survive yesterday, and therapy isn't about fixing who you are. It's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can move through life with greater freedom and self-trust.
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something to change, therapy offers a space to slow down, tell the truth, and reconnect with yourself.
Let's begin. Wherever you are is a good place to start.
