The Seleni Institute provides psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families experiencing mental health concerns surrounding reproductive, perinatal, and family-building experiences.

Our experienced clinicians provide individually tailored and evidence-based psychotherapy - both in-person at our New York City office and through telehealth services in New York, Florida, and Virginia. We are committed to finding the right fit for your treatment needs.

I highly recommend Seleni Institute to fellow new moms who could use
some guidance and sense of community in NYC. The premise feels welcoming and even the interior design feels soothing, almost like a spa for the soul. The staff has the expertise and really cares about women’s issues. Seleni’s programs feel like a luxury but are an actual necessity.
