What we help with
You've been holding it together. Lately it's costing you more.
The racing thoughts, the flatness, the same argument on repeat. Not enough capacity to sustain the life you have or create the one you want.
Anxiety
When your mind won't stop running, even when you're exhausted. Your nervous system hasn't gotten the signal that it's safe to slow down.
Anxiety therapy ➜
Trauma & CPTSD
For what your body still remembers long after you've moved on. Your mind knows you're safe; your body doesn't know that yet.
Trauma therapy ➜
Depression
When everything feels heavy, flat, or far away. A collapsed state that's hard to pull yourself out of alone.
Depression therapy ➜
Couples & Relationships
When the same fight keeps circling back, and you can't find your way to each other. You're stuck defending your corner instead of understanding what's underneath it.
Couples therapy ➜
Burnout & Work Stress
When you're running on empty and can't switch off — the tank stays somehow both drained and wired.
Burnout therapy ➜
OCD treatment
When the thoughts and the checking run the day. Your brain is stuck in a loop that keeps you from being present in your life.
OCD therapy ➜
What makes CAP different
Where words run out, we keep going.
Most therapists offer conversation. We offer conversation and more, whole-person therapy that works with words, images, and the body to reach what conversation alone can't.
Licensed, Board-Certified Therapists
Every clinician meets the same high bar — licensed, board-certified expertise at the senior level, with those still earning full licensure held to that same standard under close weekly supervision. Gestalt and Somatic Experiencing training runs through the whole team — a rare combination in NYC.
Talk, art & body — together
Change becomes something you feel, not just understand.
Holistic & Trauma-Informed
Whole-person care, paced to you and never one-size-fits-all.
A Senior Team, Matched to You
An experienced therapist chosen for your need, not by luck.
Approaches we work with
What changes
What changes when you find a therapist who fits.
Left alone, these patterns don't usually resolve on their own, they just get more familiar. Change works differently. It rarely announces itself; it shows up quietly, in the ordinary moments.
Here's what starts to feel different:
The racing thoughts settle, and you sleep through the night.
You feel what you feel without being run by it.
You show up in relationships without the old pattern taking over.
You take the first step. We walk the rest with you.
Getting started
Starting is simpler than you think.

Our founder
Meet Jennifer Byxbee.
ATR-BC · LCAT · CGT, SEP, Founder, CAP Therapy NYC
After twenty-plus years in this field, I've learned the same thing, over and over: you can know exactly why you do something and still not be able to stop doing it. That's the gap talk therapy alone doesn't close, and where somatic therapy and creative arts psychotherapy pick up. Real change doesn't come from talking through your life. It comes from experiencing something different. That's why we specialize in experiential work, because experience is how people actually learn.
I started CAP so people wouldn't have to stitch that kind of care together themselves, but be supported and expanded through attuned clinicians at the forefront of holistic psychotherapy.
Meet the team
A small team you'll actually know.
No being passed around and no starting over. You'll work with one senior clinician who fits what you're facing, backed by the whole team's experience.

CAP quite literally changed my life. I'd tried therapists before but couldn't open up—Jenn created a space so safe I finally could. It laid the foundation for years of growth.
As a coach, CAP is my first call when clients need deeper support. The clinical sophistication sets them apart—they understand the nervous system in a way that creates real, lasting change.
