My name is Chris Haley. I help people better understand themselves, their relationships, and what gets in the way of feeling more grounded, confident, and satisfied in life. I’m a straightforward, compassionate, and nonjudgmental therapist who works to create a space where you can speak honestly, reflect openly, and make meaningful change.

Location

I’m based in Manhattan, New York City. I offer in-person therapy on Tuesdays near Grand Central and Thursdays near Union Square, as well as virtual sessions Monday through Thursday. I am licensed to see individuals residing in New York State.

Who I work with

I specialize in working with men—including executives, professionals, artists, entrepreneurs, and others—who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, substance use, eating concerns, or questions around sex or identity. Many of the men I work with appear successful on the outside but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected in important areas of their lives.

I also work with women facing similar challenges. I’m LGBTQ-affirming, particularly attuned to the experiences of gay and bisexual men, and I provide a confidential, respectful space to explore what matters most to you.

My approach

I value honesty, curiosity, and practicality in therapy. My goal isn’t to pathologize you or tell you how to live, but to help you understand patterns that no longer serve you and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. I check in regularly to make sure therapy is useful and aligned with your goals.

To provide the best care possible, I engage in ongoing supervision and continuing education to stay current with research and clinical practice.

Professional background

I’m a member of the Backline referral network, which connects music industry professionals with mental health and wellness.

Before becoming a therapist, I held senior management roles in the nonprofit sector—experience that continues to inform my understanding of leadership, responsibility, pressure, and burnout.
