Rodney Pride, LCSW
About me
As a licensed therapist in New York with over three decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate family dynamics, career difficulties, and personal growth, with a particular focus on men's issues, young adult challenges, and attachment-related concerns.
I bring a compassionate and nuanced approach to addressing social anxiety, panic disorders, self-esteem challenges, and emotional healing. My work is deeply rooted in understanding the unique experiences of individuals across different life stages, from young adults to those navigating midlife transitions.
My therapeutic style emphasizes empowerment, personal insight, and holistic well-being. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, work through guilt and shame, and develop strategies for meaningful personal transformation. Whether you're dealing with family conflicts, seasonal emotional shifts, or seeking guidance through significant life changes, I'm committed to walking alongside you with respect and understanding.

Whenever I speak with Rodney, I don't feel like I speaking with a therapist like you see on the television. Rodney is a personable therapist. He gets to know you. We discuss about what's on my mind. Then he give me therapy and relates the scripture to my issues. I always feel open and comfortable. He was my first choice and I am glad that chose well.
