About Cushion Mental Health

If you keep ending up in the same unfulfilling relationships, you’re not alone. Cushion Mental Health is here to help you break those patterns.

We’re a boutique therapy practice in NYC for women who are ready to build healthier, more satisfying relationships. Whether you’re dealing with self-doubt, a pattern of choosing emotionally unavailable partners, or just feel ready for real change, we’ll help you understand what’s getting in the way and give you the tools to do something different.

At Cushion, we focus on helping you shift your relationship patterns so you can create the kind of love and connection you actually want. Our name reflects our approach: therapy that provides a steady foundation—firm enough to challenge old patterns, supportive enough to help you build new ones.

Our Approach to Relationship Therapy

Therapy at Cushion Mental Health is for women who want real results in their dating and relationship lives. Our approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based, using tools that are tailored to your relationship patterns and goals.

What makes us different is our mix of strategic guidance, collaborative insight, and actionable tools to help you break old cycles and build something better. We’ll create clear goals, use assessments, worksheets, and homework, and track your progress along the way, so you feel supported and empowered to create real change.

We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundation and bring in EMDR when trauma is part of the story. This work takes commitment, but the outcome is worth it: clarity, confidence in dating, and healthier romantic relationships.

What You’ll Gain

  • Support to heal past relationship wounds and move toward the love you want

  • Tools to regulate emotions, set boundaries, and communicate clearly

Why It Works

  • Built to address the specific relationship struggles of high-functioning women

  • Draws on evidence-based treatment approaches

  • Centers on real progress through structure, insight, and skill-building

  • Offers empathetic, direct support that respects how complex growth can be
