Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Specialized DBT Therapy for New York City
Are you exhausted by the emotional rollercoaster?
Many of my clients come to me feeling like they are constantly putting out emotional fires. You might be experiencing:
🌪️ Intense mood swings that feel impossible to control.
🌪️ A cycle of chaotic or unstable relationships.
🌪️ Impulsive behaviors or self-medicating when distress hits.
🌪️ Feeling consistently misunderstood or empty.
You are not broken. You just haven't been taught the right skills to manage a highly sensitive nervous system. DBT was designed specifically for this.
How Dialectical Behavior Therapy Works
We provide therapy tailored to your unique life. We focus on four core skill modules:
Mindfulness
Learn to stay grounded in the present moment instead of spiraling into anxiety.
Distress Tolerance
Survive crisis moments without resorting to destructive behaviors.
Emotion Regulation
Understand your feelings and learn how to safely decrease their intensity.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Ask for what you need, say no, and set boundaries without ruining relationships.

Meet Your Therapist: Megan Gewitz, LCSW
Radically genuine, evidence-based care for CPTSD and BPD.
Hi, I’m Megan. I have over a decade of experience in mental health, specializing in Complex PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder. My approach to therapy is warm, direct, and radically genuine. You can expect me to meet you exactly where you are today.
You are likely here because you need tools that actually work. Because of that, I completed the Linehan Institute’s Behavioral Tech Comprehensive Training, the gold standard therapist traing for DBT.
While learning DBT skills will be our primary focus, true healing often requires looking beneath the surface. Once we have established a strong foundation of emotional regulation, we can carefully integrate deeper trauma-focused work to help you build a life worth living.
Transparent Pricing & Out-of-Network Benefits
DBT is highly specialized, structured skills training that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. Because I dedicate significant time to this evidence-based approach, I am an Out-of-Network (OON) provider.
Investment: $200 per individual session and $100 for per group session. (Note: Many of my clients receive 50% to 80% of this cost back through their out-of-network insurance benefits).
