Meredith Shirey Marriage & Family Therapy, PLLC is a private psychotherapy practice located in downtown Manhattan. The practice specializes in treating issues from the context of couples therapy. Our clinicians treat couples who are married, dating, cohabitating, and those interested in premarital counseling. Some clinicians have specialized training in treating unique populations such as LGBT+ and military couples. Family therapy is offered by our specially licensed marriage and family therapists. We treat traditional, blended, LGBT, and military families. Our work extends far beyond the setting of couples and families. Clinicians also treat individuals having difficulties in interpersonal relationships. These difficulties include dating, friendships, familial relationships, and working relationships. In addition, clinicians also treat mental health concerns using a variety of evidence-based practices tailored to the specific needs of the individual. We are highly skilled in treating anxiety, depression, traumatic events and PTSD, substance abuse and other addictive behaviors, bereavement and loss, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct and Oppositional Disorder, other childhood-related disorders, and more.
