Rachel Parodneck & Associates · Virtual therapy across New York
Therapy for High Achievers in NYC Who Are Tired of Carrying Everything Alone
When you've spent your life taking care of everything and everyone else, it's easy to lose yourself in the process. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or the lasting effects of hard experiences, therapy can help you understand the patterns that shaped you and make lasting change.
Therapy for High-Functioning Adults Who Overfunction
You look like you have it all together. The work gets done, the calendar holds, and everyone leans on you. Inside, it can be a different story - the overthinking that won't switch off, the pressure you never quite put down, the quiet sense that you have to hold it all. Rachel Parodneck & Associates is a New York psychotherapy practice built for exactly this: high-functioning people whose outward success masks real internal distress.

What We Help With
Anxiety & Burnout Therapy for High-Functioning Adults
High-functioning anxiety doesn't always look like anxiety. It looks like productivity, reliability, and holding it together - until it doesn't. In therapy, we slow down enough to see the patterns underneath: where the pressure comes from, what it's protecting, and how to move from just coping to genuinely feeling steadier. Our psychotherapists draw on approaches that fit you - CBT, ACT, psychodynamic, and trauma-focused work - tailored to what you're actually carrying instead of a one-size-fits-all protocol.
A Team of NYC Psychotherapists, Matched to You
You're not handed to whoever has an opening. Our associate psychotherapists work across different specialties and rates, so we can match you with the right fit for what you're facing and your budget. The practice is led by Rachel Parodneck, LCSW, a Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP), and our clinicians support New Yorkers through anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationships, and life change. Sessions are available virtually across New York State.
In-Network Therapy in NYC: Aetna & Northwell Direct
Good therapy shouldn't be out of reach. We're in-network with Aetna and Northwell Direct, and we provide monthly superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, with a limited number of sliding-scale spots. If you're a healthcare worker covered through Northwell Direct, you can see one of our psychotherapists as part of your benefits.
