Jack Haines, LMFT, MA, specializes in working with individuals and couples practicing mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. He uses a collaborative approach, prioritizing the insight and direction stemming from clients.

​

Jack’s clinical work is guided by gentleness and curiosity. In order to grow, he believes we need a deeper understanding of the behaviors and beliefs we wish to change. It is a process that happens best without self-criticism or harshness. He encourages clients to first bring awareness to the part of themselves they want to change. Once that part is better understand, the work of change can begin.

​

When working with couples, Jack encourages them to notice the patterns and roles they play in the presence of tension and conflict. He helps couples step out of the “mode” they find themselves trapped in, to better see and understand their deeper needs — as well as their partner’s. This work is done to promote feelings of safety and trust. He believes that creating more safety between partners in a relationship is a necessary ingredient towards satisfaction and healing.

​

Before working as a therapist, Jack studied philosophy and religion in Indiana. Jack was inspired by his own therapy to pursue a career in psychotherapy. He was drawn to the patience and space for reflection therapy provided, and wanted to offer the same to others. In pursuit of that goal, Jack completed graduate school in Los Angeles.

Outside of sessions, Jack is likely seen on a Citi Bike or on a train headed upstate. While some of his favorite places to explore are outside of the city, he loves calling New York home.
