About Lee Saltzman
For over twenty years, Dr. Lee Saltzman has helped adults break through the patterns holding them back — from anxiety and self-doubt to relationship challenges and life transitions — so they can finally move forward with clarity and confidence.
Trained and experienced at some of New York City's leading hospitals and clinical institutions, Dr. Saltzman brings deep expertise across a wide range of psychological and behavioral concerns. But this isn't one-size-fits-all therapy. Every approach is tailored specifically to you — your story, your goals, your life.
Wherever you are, there's a way through. Let's find it together.
My Approach
Your 20s, 30s, and 40s come with real pressure — building a career, navigating relationships, figuring out who you are and what you actually want. When something feels off, you need something better than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Here, my approach is integrative—the strategy adapts to you, not the other way around. Using relational therapy, psychodynamic insight, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other evidence-based methods, we'll build a toolkit tailored to your specific goals and how your mind works.
Think of it less like following a script and more like a collaboration: you bring the self-awareness and drive you've already developed; the work here gives you the framework and tools to break through whatever's been holding you back.
Whatever you're navigating — burnout, anxiety, relationships, identity, big decisions — there's a sharper, more effective way forward.
Services
Whether you're navigating the pressure of a demanding career, working through anxiety or depression, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next move, therapy can help you find clarity, resilience, and a path forward.
With a strong focus on young adults and professionals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, my practice addresses the unique mental health challenges of building a life — the burnout, the self-doubt, the relationship strain that often comes with ambition and transition.
Areas of focus include:
Career & Performance — Workplace stress, burnout, imposter syndrome, career transitions, and the anxiety that comes with high-achieving environments.
Mood & Emotional Wellbeing — Depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, and the day-to-day emotional weight that makes it hard to feel like yourself.
Relationships & Family — Navigating romantic partnerships, family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and the pressure of evolving roles and responsibilities.
Life Transitions — Major shifts like career changes, relocation, loss, identity questions, and the challenges of growing into who you want to be.
Broader Mental Health Concerns — A full range of psychological and behavioral challenges, including OCD, social anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, eating concerns, and more — addressed with individualized, evidence-based care.
