Maybe some of this sounds familiar.
Lately, everything feels like a lot. Your mind won’t quiet down, or it has gone flat and heavy. You’re holding it together on the outside while something underneath feels off. Maybe it’s the same hard conversation on repeat, or the same thought you can’t shake. You’re not sure exactly what’s wrong, only that you don’t feel like yourself.
You don’t need the right words for it. You just need somewhere to start.
Whatever you’re carrying, someone here knows it well
We focus on a few things instead of spreading thin, so the person you meet truly knows the terrain you’re walking, not just the textbook version of it.
Not sure where you fit? That’s normal. See everything we help with, or just start with a free consultation and we’ll help you find your way.
You shouldn’t have to choose between a therapist who’s excellent and one you can afford
So you don’t. You’re matched with someone who genuinely knows their craft and genuinely cares, and because your insurance is welcome here, that kind of care isn’t a luxury. It’s just what you get.
Known by name
A small practice where you’re a person, not a slot. The people here remember you.
A true specialist
Someone who knows your terrain, not a generalist guessing at it.
Covered, not out of reach
In-network with major plans, plus out-of-network and self-pay. Your benefits are checked up front, so cost holds no surprises.
We help you build the tools to grow and rediscover yourself
You shouldn’t have to choose between a therapist who truly knows their craft and one your insurance will actually cover. For too many people, that impossible choice is where hope quietly runs out. Magenta exists so it never has to be yours.
Every therapist here is a licensed psychotherapist in New York: warm, genuinely skilled, and matched to you with real care and intention. That standard comes from our founder, Emilia Shapiro, LCSW, who started Magenta with one belief at its center: the care you receive should feel as personal as it is skilled, and you should never have to settle for less.
The hardest part is reaching out.
A free 15-minute consultation, no pressure, no commitment. Just a chance to see if we’re the right fit.

It’s online, and that’s exactly why it works
Meeting online isn’t a lesser version of therapy. It’s often what makes good, consistent care possible at all.
Private and secure
Encrypted, HIPAA-compliant video. No waiting room, no running into anyone. Just a confidential hour from wherever you feel safe.
Around your real life
No commute, and scheduling that fits an actual week. The easier it is to show up, the better therapy works, and showing up is the whole game.
The right fit, not the closest one
You’re matched to the therapist who actually suits you, not whoever happens to be nearby.
All you need is a private space and a connection. As long as you’re in New York during your session, you can do real work from wherever you are.
Four simple steps. The first one is free

Good to know
Do you see clients in my area?

Is therapy completely online?
Yes. All sessions are held over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, so you’re matched with the right therapist for you without being limited by what’s nearby, and without the commute.
Do you accept insurance?
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. See our insurance & billing page for the full breakdown.
What do you specialize in?
We offer focused, evidence-based care for OCD, anxiety, depression, BPD, relationship and dating concerns, and individual therapy, along with couples work, for adults and couples across New York.
