About

In the heart of New York City, a compassionate approach to healing emotional suffering thrives through the work of Joseph Zagame, LCSW-R, CGP. As the founder and Clinical Director of myTherapyNYC, Joseph believes that the path to mental and emotional well-being is best navigated within the context of a safe and caring therapeutic relationship. His emotion-focused and relational psychotherapy style forms the cornerstone of his practice, where the client-therapist connection serves as the foundation for profound healing and personal growth.

Joseph's expertise spans a wide range of therapeutic modalities, tailored to meet the diverse needs of his clients. He offers individual counseling, where clients can explore their personal challenges in a supportive one-on-one setting. For couples seeking to strengthen their bonds, Joseph is a certified Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) couples therapist, as well as trained in Imago Couples Therapy. These approaches allow him to guide partners through the intricacies of their relationships, fostering deeper understanding and connection.

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ community, Joseph provides specialized LGBTQ counseling services. His personal identity as a cisgender, gay, married, White man and parent informs his practice with authenticity and lived experience. This perspective is particularly valuable in his facilitation of two process-style gay men's therapy groups, where participants can address issues such as depression, anxiety, intimacy, and the impacts of societal stigma in a supportive group setting.

Joseph's therapeutic toolkit also includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a powerful technique for processing trauma and alleviating its lasting effects. His Level III training in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) further enhances his ability to work with clients on deep-seated emotional issues.

Prior to establishing myTherapyNYC, Joseph honed his skills at the HIV/AIDS outpatient clinic at New York Presbyterian Hospital. This experience, combined with his subsequent work with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, has shaped his inclusive and culturally sensitive approach. Joseph's style is active and collaborative, creating an atmosphere where clients feel safe to explore both past experiences and present-day challenges. Whether in individual sessions, couples therapy, or group settings, his focus remains on the here-and-now, helping clients to experience the transformative power of genuine connection in real-time. Through Joseph's guidance, clients are invited to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, supported by his wealth of experience and unwavering commitment to their growth.
