EMDR Therapy

A core part of the work we do with trauma, memory, and what's still getting in the way. See how EMDR works →

Find Your Fit

Healing doesn't happen on a single timeline. Most people come to Middle Way for weekly therapy. We also offer intensives, structured programs, and monthly sessions for people whose schedules or focus call for a different format — choose what fits where you are, and shift as your life does.

Weekly Therapy

Consistent, relational work that builds over time. Our core offering.

Therapy Intensives

Concentrated 3–6 hour sessions for EMDR trauma work or couples work, where focused time moves things faster than weekly.

Structured Programs

Time-limited programs with clear goals, including the Safe and Sound Protocol.

Monthly Structured Sessions

A step-down rhythm for couples who've completed weekly work and want ongoing lighter-footprint support — one session a month, with a relationship check-up frame.

How It Works

i.

Reach Out

Send us a note. Our intake coordinator will reach out to learn what you're looking for and to talk through whether Middle Way feels like a fit.

ii.

Match & Meet

With the basics aligned, our intake coordinator talks with you about what you're looking for and connects you with the therapists or programs that fit. You meet them for a free 15-minute consult — a chance to see what feels right.

iii.

Begin Your Work

Start weekly therapy, a focused intensive, or a structured program — with a therapist who's the right match for you.

iv.

Grow and Evolve

As your life changes, the way we work together can change too. That's by design.

Care That Evolves With You

Our services can evolve alongside your healing journey — a weekly therapist who knows your story, an intensive if a specific focus is needed, a program when you want a container for nervous system work, a monthly rhythm when things are steady. Whatever your goals and scheduling needs are, we are here to support you.

More than one format can run at the same time — for example, an individual client doing weekly therapy might also begin couples work with a partner, or a weekly client might add a focused intensive to work on a specific issue.

After your first session, we check in to make sure the match feels right with the therapist we matched you with. The practice stays in the loop — always available, even beyond your work with your therapist.

What people have said

A few reflections from people we've worked with.

Matthew is an incredibly wise and compassionate person. Growth can be challenging and having someone like Matthew to help navigate that has been a blessing.

I would highly recommend the process at Middle Way for anyone looking for more emotional intelligence and self discovery, not just those struggling.

How We Work

Our therapists are licensed in New York and work from a trauma-informed frame, drawing on their training, care, and compassion. We support our team with ongoing supervision and continuing education so the care you receive stays thoughtful and current. We draw from EMDR, the Gottman Method, somatic therapies, mindfulness, and the Safe and Sound Protocol — matching the approach to the person, not the other way around.
