Most practices deliver therapy for Boundary Issues however the therapist you happened to get was trained. We run one format for every client, and we measure it.

Monthly review
Standardized measures, reviewed with you. You see the trend.
A license is where our training starts, not where it ends.
Every clinician is state-licensed before they see a single client. Then they train with us across every modality, and how to match one to the problem in front of them.

Boundary issues mean you struggle to protect your time, energy, and needs. You say yes when you mean no, then feel drained or resentful. Therapy treats boundary setting as a skill. You learn where your limits are missing, work through the guilt that blocks them, and practice saying no clearly.
Does this sound like you?
- You say yes, hang up the phone, and immediately regret it.
- You reread a text five times trying to soften a no.
- You are the person everyone calls, and no one calls to ask how you are.
- You feel resentful toward people who never actually asked you to do this much.
- You cancel your own plans first when the schedule gets tight.
- You think setting a limit will make people think you are selfish.
- You are exhausted by a life you technically agreed to.
You do not have to be in crisis to start. If several of these sound familiar, therapy can help.
If several of these sound familiar, that is worth talking about.

Boundaries are the limits that protect your time, energy, and wellbeing. When they are hard to set, you say yes when you mean no, feel taken advantage of, and carry quiet resentment.
What are boundary issues?
Boundary issues are a pattern, not a flaw. You over-give, over-explain, and over-commit, and then you feel drained by a life you technically agreed to. Many people learned early to keep the peace, so saying no came to feel selfish even when it is healthy.
The signs are usually easy to spot once you look. You feel guilt when you protect your own time. You resent people who never actually asked you for this much. You have stopped noticing what you want, because it has been years since anyone asked. The American Psychological Association links chronic overload of this kind to real strain on health and mood.
Why is it so hard to say no?
Because a no threatens something you believe about yourself. If your worth has been tied to being useful, reliable, or easy to be around, then declining feels like removing the reason people keep you.
That belief is the actual target. You cannot willpower your way out of a boundary problem while still believing that limits make you a bad person. So the work goes at the belief, not just the behavior.
What does therapy for boundary issues involve?
We use cognitive behavioral therapy. It is direct and practical, and it follows a clear structure.
Your first session is an intake, where you rate the guilt, resentment, and exhaustion to set a baseline. The early work takes a fuller look at where saying no first came at a cost, and the treatment plan is built with your therapist from there.
The plan starts by mapping where limits are missing. That usually means a specific person, a specific ask, and a specific hour of the week you keep giving away. Then you and your therapist look at what the guilt is protecting you from, and test whether that fear holds up.
Then you practice. You will script real boundary conversations and rehearse them out loud in session. You try one in the world, come back, and review what happened. That loop, repeated weekly, is what makes the skill stick.
Once a month you have a review session using standardized measures, so you can see whether the guilt, the resentment, and the overload are actually moving. The plan is adjusted from what the measures show.
Will setting boundaries hurt my relationships?
Usually the opposite. Resentment is what erodes relationships, and resentment grows in the space where a boundary should have been.
Clear limits make relationships more honest. Some people will push back at first, and therapy prepares you for that. Your therapist helps you decide what to say, how to say it calmly, and what to do when someone tests the line. Holding a boundary without hostility is the skill worth having.
What if I have been like this my whole life?
That is common, and it is workable. Long-standing patterns often trace back to a family or a job where saying no had a cost. Understanding that is useful context, but the change happens in the present, in small repeated practice.
You do not need a diagnosis to start. Being exhausted by your own agreeableness is reason enough.
What does a boundary actually sound like?
Shorter than you think. Most people over-explain, because explanation feels like permission-seeking. A boundary does not need a defense attached.
“I can’t take that on this month.” “I’m not available on Sundays.” “I’m going to step out of this conversation.” Complete sentences, no apology, no essay. The urge to soften it with three paragraphs is the same urge that got you here.
You will practice the wording in session until it stops feeling like an accusation. Then you practice the harder part: saying nothing after you say it. Most boundaries collapse in the silence that follows, when the guilt gets loud and you start negotiating with yourself.
Where do boundaries usually break down?
At work, with family, and with the one person who has always been an exception.
At work it is the creep: the small extra ask that becomes your permanent job. With family it is history, because the roles were assigned decades ago and nobody has revisited them. Family boundaries are often the last ones people manage, and that is normal.
The exception person deserves attention. Almost everyone has one relationship where the rules do not apply. Your therapist will help you look at that honestly, without deciding for you what to do about it.
How do I get started?
You can book online at any time, or call (646) 493-4007 to talk with someone first. We are in-network with most major plans, and you can confirm your coverage before your first appointment.
We see clients in Jamaica, Queens, and Buffalo, with sessions conducted by telehealth. Care is collaborative and paced to you.
What does it look like?
- •Saying yes when you want to say no
- •Feeling drained, overcommitted, or taken advantage of
- •Guilt or anxiety when you try to protect your time or needs
- •Resentment building in your relationships
- •Losing track of your own priorities to keep others comfortable
Who is this for?
- •Adults who overcommit or struggle to say no
- •People who feel guilty setting limits with family, partners, or work
- •Anyone who wants healthier, more balanced relationships
What does therapy here actually look like?
The first three sessions follow a clear structure, so you always know what is coming next.
- The first session
Your therapist asks what brought you in and where the pressure shows up: work, family, a partner, or all three. You rate the intensity of the guilt, the resentment, and the exhaustion, on a 0 to 10 scale. You set a recurring weekly time before you leave.
- The wider picture
Your therapist walks through your life across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, looking at where saying no had a cost, the roles you were handed, and the strengths that carried through. You can decline any question and keep answers short.
- Setting the goals
You build the plan together. Goals name the specific relationships and asks you want to change, the belief that makes no feel unsafe, and the conversations you will script and rehearse. You also set one personal goal that matters to you, often time you want back.
- Ongoing
Weekly sessions work the plan. You rehearse boundary conversations, try one in real life, and review what happened, then move to harder relationships and to holding the limit when someone pushes back. Once a month your therapist reviews standardized measures with you to see whether the guilt, resentment, and overload are shifting, and the plan is adjusted from what the measures show.
Therapy here is measured, not guessed
Once a month you have a measurement-based care review. You complete standardized measures, and your therapist reviews the trend with you. If something is not working, the plan changes. Regular therapy is the work. The review is the navigation system that keeps it pointed at the right target.
Sessions are weekly for the first two months to build a foundation, then frequency is reassessed with you. You set the pace, and you share only what you are comfortable sharing.
You do not have to figure this out alone.

Common questions
Do you take insurance, and what will this cost?
We are in-network with most major plans. In New York: UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Medicare, Oscar Health, Meritain Health, Oxford Health Plans, Cigna, Optum, Highmark BCBS WNY, Univera Healthcare and MagnaCare. We confirm your benefits before your first session.
What happens in the first session?
Your therapist asks where you are overextended and what you want to change. Nothing is assigned that you did not agree to. You leave with a clear focus for the work.
How long does it take, and does it work?
Boundary setting is a skill, and skills improve with practice. Many people work weekly for a few months. No therapist can promise a specific result, but you will get concrete tools you can use between sessions.
Do I need a diagnosis to come to therapy for this?
No. You do not need a diagnosis, a crisis, or a label. Wanting healthier limits is a good enough reason to start.
Can I do this by telehealth, and how soon can I be seen?
Yes. Sessions are conducted by telehealth, and we also see clients in our Jamaica and Buffalo offices. We are accepting new clients and respond within one business day.
What if the other person reacts badly when I set a boundary?
Some people will push back, and therapy prepares you for that. Your therapist helps you plan what to say, what to expect, and how to hold the limit without turning it into a fight.
How do you set healthy boundaries with family?
Be clear and specific, and focus on your own response rather than trying to change them, for example, deciding you will leave a visit that turns hostile, or that certain topics are off-limits. Family often pushes back hardest because your limits change a long-standing pattern. Expect that, stay consistent, and remember you are allowed to have boundaries with people you love.
What are boundaries in a relationship?
Boundaries are the limits that protect your time, energy, values, and wellbeing, and they define what is okay with you and what is not. In a relationship they are not walls or punishments; they are clarity about your own needs and what you will do, which actually makes closeness safer. Healthy partners can respect reasonable boundaries, even if they need time to adjust.
