Professional statement

Jack Szary, LMHC, works with ambitious professionals and adults in their 20s and 30s who are navigating issues such as major life transitions, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. His clients tend to be high-performing, thoughtful individuals who struggle with self-criticism, overthinking, and difficulty maintaining balanced living. Jack helps them slow down, reconnect to themselves, and develop the emotional tools to feel more grounded and confident day to day.

Jack’s approach blends skills-based work with insight-oriented therapy. Sessions are active and collaborative—focused on helping clients build awareness and take meaningful action in their lives. Drawing from CBT, ACT, and DBT approaches, Jack helps clients understand the deeper patterns driving their stress, while also teaching practical strategies to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and communicate effectively. His style is inquisitive, empowering, and affirming—he’s a dedicated therapist, committed to helping his clients find clarity and momentum.

Before founding Rhythm Wellness NYC, Jack trained and practiced in a variety of clinical settings, including community mental health and private practice. His background allows him to meet clients wherever they are on their growth path—whether they’re working through burnout, relationship conflict, or a desire to feel more authentic in their lives.

Jack is a Brooklyn based therapist offering virtual sessions for clients across New York State. His practice is designed for people who want therapy that feels dynamic, insightful, and results-oriented—a space to realign with their rhythm and build lasting emotional resilience.


Message to clients

Starting therapy can feel like both a relief and a risk—you’re ready for things to feel different, but not always sure what that process will look like. My goal is to make that experience clear, practical, and genuinely helpful from the start. I see therapy as an active space where we identify what’s getting in the way, build real skills for managing stress, and reconnect you to a sense of direction and confidence.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. Many of my clients come to me during major life transitions—changes in work, identity, or relationships—feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about what’s next. Together, we slow things down enough to make sense of what’s happening and take small, steady steps forward. I’ll challenge you when needed, but always with curiosity and care.

My hope is that therapy helps you develop not just insight, but rhythm—an internal steadiness that lets you handle life’s challenges with more clarity, purpose, and self-trust.
