I’m Rachel Kunstadt, a licensed psychotherapist in NYC, following a 15 year career writing and producing musical theatre. I work with tweens, teens, adults, and families, bringing my theatre background into a contemporary, relational approach to psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

I follow what feels alive between us, especially what feels uncertain, messy, surprising, or a little uncomfortable. We might laugh, get stuck, misunderstand each other, or find ourselves somewhere neither of us expected to go.

I come to this work with a natural curiosity and interdisciplinary mind. Bring in the relationships you can’t make sense of, the movie you can’t stop thinking about, the song stuck in your head, or the book you need someone else to understand. I am interested in who you are, not just what brought you here.

My practice is supervised by psychoanalyst Sam Guzzardi, LCSW
