Dr. Keigher specializes in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions, as well as supporting those coping with trauma and self-esteem concerns. His approach is tailored to each person, focusing on building practical skills, increasing self-awareness, and fostering meaningful, lasting change. Whether facing a specific issue or feeling generally overwhelmed, therapy provides a supportive space to work through it.

The length of therapy depends on your goals and the depth of what you are working through. Some clients notice meaningful shifts within weeks, while more complex or long-standing patterns may require longer-term therapy.

Dr. Keigher’s fee for individual psychotherapy is $300 per 45‑minute session and $400 for a 60‑minute session, with a limited number of sliding‑scale options available to qualifying clients based on financial need. 

Dr. Keigher is in-network with most Aetna commercial insurance plans. 

Dr. Keigher does not participate in Medicaid, managed care, or Medicare plans. 

This practice does not accept New York No-Fault Assignment of Benefits and does not bill No-Fault insurance carriers. Patients receiving services related to a motor vehicle accident agree to self-pay and remain fully responsible for all fees, regardless of insurance status or reimbursement outcome.

Most clients begin with weekly sessions. In certain situations, such as during periods of crisis or when more intensive work is needed, meeting twice per week may be recommended. Sessions typically last either 45 or 60 minutes, depending on your needs and scheduling preferences.

What you share in therapy is confidential and protected by law. However, there are a few exceptions, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or in cases of abuse or court orders. Your therapist will explain these limits clearly so you understand your privacy from the start. You can also review our Notice of Privacy Practices for more information.

Therapy is grounded in a relational, psychodynamic approach, with a flexible, eclectic style tailored to each person’s needs. The work focuses on building a strong, collaborative relationship, exploring how past experiences and patterns show up in your current life, and helping you understand yourself more deeply. Sessions also draw on tools from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to help you change unhelpful thought patterns, manage intense emotions, build healthier coping strategies, and move toward a more meaningful, values‑driven life.

Therapy might be right for you if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself, and you’d like a space that’s just for you to talk things through. It can help with specific concerns like anxiety, low mood, stress, or relationship struggles, but also if you simply want to understand yourself better and make some positive changes in your life. If you’ve been wondering, “Would it help to talk to someone?”, that curiosity alone is often a good sign that trying therapy could be a helpful next step.

In a first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming space focused on getting to know you and what’s bringing you to therapy right now, rather than trying to “fix” everything at once. You’ll likely talk about what you’ve been struggling with, some relevant background (like relationships, work, or past therapy), and what you hope might feel different in your life, while also having a chance to ask questions and decide together on some initial goals and next steps.

Please note: Dr. Keigher is currently experiencing high demand for in-person appointments. If you're interested in video telehealth sessions, Dr. Keigher can typically see you within 24 to 48 hours; otherwise, please check back in a few months for in-person openings.

Both in-person and virtual sessions are typically available, so you can choose the format that best fits your needs. In‑person appointments are offered in Flatiron / Union Square in Manhattan or in Nyack, NY, in Rockland County. Secure video sessions allow you to meet from home or work, but you must be located in New York State for all telehealth sessions. If you’re unsure which option is right for you, you can discuss it during your initial outreach and decide together what feels most comfortable.

The easiest way to get started is to reach out and schedule an initial consultation call or an appointment. You can contact the office by phone or text (212-729-1080), or email (jonathankeigherphd@gmail.com), briefly share what you’re looking for, and request available times. From there, you’ll be offered a brief telephone consultation or a full first session (usually via telehealth or in person, depending on your preference), and you can decide together whether it feels like a good fit and how often to meet going forward.
