Depression Therapy in NYC
Compassionate, culturally attuned depression treatment for adults, in person in Manhattan and virtual across New York.
Who is depression therapy for?
If you are looking for depression therapy in NYC, Resonance Psychology offers warm, evidence-based care for adults, both in person at our Flatiron and Gramercy office and virtually across New York State. We are a boutique practice led by Dr. Angela Gwak, a Columbia University-trained, NY and NJ licensed Asian American psychologist with 19 years of clinical experience, and our focus is helping you feel like yourself again.
Depression does not always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like getting through the day on autopilot, feeling numb, or wondering why things that used to matter no longer do. Maybe you’re:
Making it through your workday but feeling empty when you get home
Sleeping too much or too little, and never quite feeling rested
Carrying a heavy sense of guilt, worthlessness, or being a burden
Pushing through high-functioning days while quietly struggling underneath
Feeling disconnected from your family, your culture, or your own sense of who you are
Our Integrative Approach to Depression
There is no single right way to treat depression, so we do not force one. Dr. Gwak draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you notice and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck, psychodynamic work to understand the deeper roots of how you feel, and a relational-cultural lens that takes your relationships, family, and cultural context seriously. In practice, this feels less like a clinical protocol and more like a real conversation that gradually helps things make sense.
Therapy here can help you:
Understand what is driving your depression, not just manage the symptoms
Build practical tools for the days that feel heavy
Reconnect with the people, work, and parts of yourself that matter to you
Feel understood in the context of your culture, family, and identity
What Do Sessions Look Like?
Sessions are a steady, private space where you can slow down and be honest without performing. Early on, we focus on understanding your story and what you want to feel differently. Over time, we work at a pace that fits you, blending insight with practical steps. We see adults in person at our Flatiron and Gramercy office and virtually across New York State, with virtual-only sessions for clients in New Jersey and Florida.
Our Therapists are Here to Support You
Resonance Psychology is a boutique practice, which means care here is personal, not one-size-fits-all. Dr. Angela Gwak brings 19 years of clinical experience and a deep focus on BIPOC, Asian American, and multicultural identity, and works alongside Esther Eng, MHC-LP. We welcome your full self, your background, your family story, and your identities, into the room.
