Welcome

It’s painful to feel disconnected — from others, and from yourself.

You long to feel more anchored and truly connected,
yet being around people often leaves you drained.
It feels safer to pull away than to risk judgment, disappointment, or rejection.

You worry that being your full self might push people away —
so you present a version of yourself that doesn’t feel entirely real.
Even when you're close to others, you wonder:
Is this genuine? Do I really matter to them?

Disconnection Inside and Out

Being alone isn’t easy either.
You throw yourself into work or distractions
to escape feelings of emptiness, sadness, or creeping self-doubt.

Maybe your thoughts spiral:

Am I enough? Am I making the right decision?
Will I fail or let people down? Will they leave me?
Why do other people seem to have things more figured out?

You set goals — eat better, reach out to friends, stop a habit —
but the patterns repeat.

Now Imagine Something Different

Imagine stepping back from painful thoughts
and watching them pass, no longer so powerful.
Emotions come and go — no longer defining you or feeling permanent.
You feel steadier, calmer, more balanced.

You’re present — in your own life and in connection with others.
There’s ease in your body, clarity in your mind, and freedom to pursue what truly matters.

You feel playful. Creative. Whole.
You connect with others without losing yourself —
setting boundaries, tolerating what comes up, and staying true to who you are.

This Is the Heart of Therapy

And it’s the kind of work we can do together.


I’m Crystal Tholany, MD

I’m Dr. Crystal Tholany, a Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist and Board-Certified Addiction Psychiatrist seeing clients in NY and NJ with 16 years of experience helping adults move through anxiety, trauma, depression, grief and that quiet sense of “something’s missing.”

My style is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. Together we will help you slow down and listen inward — to the stories your mind and body are telling. Some may be new, some long buried. Together we’ll explore and give voice to all the different parts of you — so they can finally coexist, making your story fuller, deeper, and more whole.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. You’re not broken.
It’s about understanding your experience, regaining trust in yourself, and creating a life that feels more aligned — more you.

Ready to Begin?

Starting therapy is a courageous step — and it’s okay if you’re still feeling uncertain. What matters most is that

you don’t have to keep carrying everything alone.

If something here resonates with you, let’s talk.
You’re welcome to reach out with questions, schedule a consultation, or just explore what working together might feel like.

You deserve support that feels attuned to you.
Let’s take that first step, together.
