Online Therapy for New York Professionals
Some jobs ask you to take in other people's worst days: the story you had to cover, the case you couldn't win, the patient you couldn't help, the crisis you were posted to. Over time that weight doesn't stay at work.
KonTerra Counseling provides online therapy for New York professionals whose work keeps them close to suffering, injustice, or high-stakes decisions, and who are starting to feel the cost.
Who we work with in New York
Journalists and media professionals. Staff of the United Nations and other international organizations. Attorneys, especially in immigration and public interest law, along with lawyers in every other practice area. Healthcare professionals. What these roles share is closeness to hard things, and a professional identity built around carrying them well. Many people in these fields are used to being the one others rely on, and have gone a long time without anyone checking in on them.
What we help with
Moral injury: the distress of being complicit in, or witness to, something that violates your values
Burnout and chronic exhaustion from high-stakes work
Anxiety and hypervigilance that don't switch off
Global professionals managing relocation, return, and cross-cultural transitions
Addiction and recovery for professionals
How online therapy with KonTerra Counseling works
Sessions take place over a secure video platform from wherever you have privacy.
You need to be physically located in Virginia during your session, which is a licensing requirement, not a preference.
KonTerra Counseling is a private-pay practice, giving you greater confidentiality and privacy since you control whether any information is submitted to insurance.
Every new client begins with a free 20-minute consultation.

Common Questions
Do I need to live in Virginia?
You need to be physically in Virginia at the time of each session. If you live in Virginia but work in DC, you can meet from either place, as long as the clinician is licensed where you're located during the appointment. Conveniently, our clinician licensed in Virginia is also licensed in DC.
What if the Virginia clinician isn't available?
If our Virginia clinician isn't taking new clients when you reach out, we'll tell you directly, and we'll let you know if another option makes sense, such as a clinician licensed in DC for sessions when you're located there.
Do you take insurance?
KonTerra is a private-pay practice. We provide superbills for clients who want to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurer. Reimbursement depends on your plan, so it's worth checking your out-of-network benefits first. See our FAQs for further information.
What happens in the free consultation?
It's a 20-minute call. It's a chance for you to ask questions and get a feel for whether we're a good fit. The clinician will also walk you through the logistics of working with us.
