Professional statement

Dr. Collins has treated patients across a wide variety of settings including psychiatric inpatient units and college counseling centers. He has considerable expertise treating young adults, including college students and recent graduates, and has a deep understanding of the uncertainties and anxieties that can arise at this phase of life. Dr. Collins also excels with clients who have experienced difficult or abusive family relationships, patients who identify as LGBTQ+, and people who have survived various forms of trauma. His style is warm, curious and open, and many patients comment on Dr. Collins’ ability to help them feel safe and accepted.

Dr. Collins’ therapeutic approach draws primarily from psychodynamic theory but incorporates other modalities depending on your individual needs, particularly dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Patients appreciate his compassion and ability to provide a safe therapeutic environment where they are invited to attune to their authentic selves. Dr. Collins excels at helping patients explore the complexities of their identities in ways that facilitate greater self-understanding and authenticity.

Dr. Collins completed his Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University and currently works at the Flatiron Center for Psychotherapy located in New York City, where he tailors his person-centered, humanistic, trauma-informed approach to discover the most effective treatment for each client. He offers both in-person and remote sessions, depending on your preference.

Message to clients

I believe therapy requires caring for the whole person, not just treating symptoms or challenges in life. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that empowers you to better understand yourself from an honest yet compassionate perspective. This point of view enables you to reconnect with parts of yourself that you may have lost touch with, to understand how relationships have impacted you in ways you may not have recognized, and to use this knowledge to form more meaningful connections with others and move forward in life in new ways.

You are at the center of your care. By working with me, you’ll gain a better sense of your emotional needs and how to honor those needs, and you’ll build resilience to meet future challenges. I’ll collaborate with you to identify and better understand the barriers you are facing, but also to highlight and bolster your personal strengths.

I’m also aware that starting therapy can be hard, so I hope you will reach out. Whatever the nature of your challenges, I’m here to help. I’ll be with you, offering my support and honest perspective, as you embark on a path of healing and move toward a more fulfilled and authentic way of being.
