Manhattan · In person & telehealth

Our story

Built for

the real work.

Manhattan Psychotherapy Group started from a simple idea: therapy should be direct, skilled and free of the clinical runaround. No scripts, no talking down — just experienced clinicians who take you seriously.

Erik Mercer, LCSW, has practiced since 2002, working with adolescents and adults on trauma, addiction, mood and the transitions that shape a life. Kate Muldowney, LCSW, brings more than thirty years of work with children, adolescents, parents and families.

We see clients in person and by telehealth across New York — and in Maine with Erik. Every engagement starts with a consultation, so you can ask questions before you commit.
