Matthew Danis (he/him)

Practice Owner and Community Leader of EMDRNYC.ORG

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with a range of age groups and therapeutic needs. I chose social work because of its holistic approach considering the whole person: body, mind, and environmental systems lived when providing psychotherapy.

I specialize in working with those needing help with the following (but not limited to): PTSD/Trauma, Sexuality, Kink and Sex, LGBTQ+ Experiences, Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, Identity, Grief, Aging, Anger, Addiction, Attachment, and Interpersonal.

Therapy with me is collaborative and non-judgmental using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Psychodynamic relational work (talk therapy) which support development of secure attachment behaviors, healing and desensitization of past traumas/PTSD, and development of a deeper connection to internal self-worth. All providing a foundation for lasting change.

I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ+ communities and have training in understanding the many complex intersectionalities such as racism or sexism. The dynamic of these communities and their experience is unique when approached in counseling and I want you to know I make LGBTQ+ and cultural affirmative therapy a priority.

Courtney Bartosh (she/her)
I am a dedicated psychotherapist who brings over a decade of experience. I have the privilege of working with a diverse array of populations, including children, young adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, families, those experiencing domestic violence, people with disabilities, and those who identify as neurodivergent.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and is both collaborative and trauma-informed. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and relational therapies to foster lasting change and internal growth. In addition to these modalities,

I am passionate about somatic therapies and the mind-body connection. By integrating mindfulness practices and focusing on the interplay between physical sensations and emotional experiences, I support clients in achieving a deeper level of self-awareness and healing. I am engaged in learning new interventions such as EMDR which will be something we can utilize in treatment in the near future.

I have extensive experience addressing a variety of themes including PTSD/Trauma, sexuality and gender, Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, Identity, Grief, Aging, Anger, Addiction, Attachment, and Interpersonal issues.

I provide individual, couples, and family therapy, providing tailored support to help clients achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being.
