Peter Stieglmayr(He/Him/His)

Peter Stieglmayr is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York, NY, specializing in therapy for high-performing men in their 20s–50s. He works with professionals across finance, tech, marketing, creative fields, and government who are quietly navigating anxiety, perfectionism, and impostor syndrome — and the relentless pressure of always being the one who delivers.

Many of Peter's clients have mastered the art of looking like they have it together — the career is real, the results are real — but so is the persistent voice that says it's only a matter of time before someone sees through it. Beneath the achievement, many struggle with deep self-criticism: a belief that they aren't truly worth love, comfort, or success. For high-achieving men, anxiety often shows up not as visible distress but as an engine that drives overwork, self-doubt, and the constant fear of not being enough. Perfectionism and impostor syndrome are frequently anxiety in disguise, and Peter helps clients understand and unwind those patterns at their root.

Peter's approach is direct and discreet, designed for men who are used to solving problems rather than sitting with them. He builds strong rapport with each client before drawing on evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic therapy. Clients develop practical tools for managing difficult thoughts and emotions, growing their confidence and sense of self-efficacy in a relaxed, judgment-free environment.

With 6 years of experience and a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University, Peter brings deep clinical expertise to every session. He holds credentials as a Licensed Addictions Counselor (CASAC) and Certified DBT Clinician (C-DBT), and works with men who are ready to stop managing the symptoms and start addressing what's underneath.
