Built by a therapist who got tired of therapy feeling impersonal
Magenta exists because good care shouldn’t require choosing between a clinician who truly knows their craft and one your insurance will actually cover. So we built a boutique practice that offers both.
Every therapist here is a licensed psychotherapist in New York and Connecticut — warm, sharp, and matched to you with intention. Behind that standard is founder Emilia Shapiro, LCSW, who shapes how Magenta hires, matches, and cares for the people it works with.
Therapy should feel less like being assessed — and more like finally being understood.
That belief shapes everything from who we hire to how your first call feels.
Focused care, matched to what you’re actually facing
We go deep in a handful of areas, so the person across the screen genuinely knows the terrain you’re describing.
OCD & ERP
Intrusive thoughts and compulsions, treated with Exposure and Response Prevention — the gold-standard approach, delivered without a flicker of judgment.
Explore OCD therapy Worry & PanicAnxiety

The hardest part is reaching out. It’s also free.
A 15-minute call, no pressure, no commitment — just a chance to see if we’re the right fit.
Why virtual therapy works so well
Going virtual isn’t a compromise — it’s often what makes consistent, high-quality care possible in the first place.
Private & secure
Encrypted, HIPAA-compliant video. No waiting room, no run-ins — just a confidential hour from wherever feels safe to you.
Built around your week
Flexible scheduling that fits real life. Skip the commute and keep showing up — consistency is what makes therapy work.
The right fit, not the closest one
Because care is virtual, you’re matched to the therapist who suits you — not whoever happens to be down the road.
All you need is a private space and a connection: as long as you’re physically located in New York or Connecticut during your session, you can do meaningful work from anywhere.
Four simple steps — the first one is free
A free 15-minute call
A brief, no-pressure conversation to talk through what’s going on and decide together if we’re a good fit.
Thoughtful matching
We pair you with the therapist best suited to you and verify your insurance benefits, so you know your coverage before you begin.
Your first session
We map the full picture — your history, your goals, what’s been tried before — so nothing important gets missed.
Ongoing therapy
Regular sessions over secure video, working a plan built for you, at a pace you help set.
A private-practice experience — that takes insurance
You shouldn’t have to choose between care that feels personal and care you can afford.
Boutique by design
A small, intentional practice where you’re matched with care and known by name — the feel of a private practice that actually remembers you.
Focused specialists
Real depth in OCD and ERP, anxiety, mood, BPD, and relationships — so you’re working with someone who knows your terrain.
Accessible & covered
In-network with major plans, plus out-of-network and self-pay options — with benefits verified up front so cost holds no surprises.

We’re in-network with many major plans, including UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Aetna, Cigna, Oxford, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Oscar. We also work with out-of-network benefits and accept self-pay clients. Coverage varies by plan, so we verify your benefits before scheduling or early in intake.
