About John McAteer

John McAteer
Welcome! I’m a CORU credentialed psychotherapist, with a deep commitment to supporting individuals, young adults, and families through life’s challenges. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or family dynamics, you’ve taken a brave step by being here—and I’m honoured to walk alongside you.
With 20+ years of clinical experience in mental health care throughout New York City, I’ve had the privilege of working in both clinical and community settings, helping people develop the insight, resilience, and tools they need to heal and grow. I have a special passion for working with young adults—those pivotal years of identity, change, and pressure—and supporting families as they navigate relationships, communication, and generational patterns.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based practices. I strive to create a space where you feel safe to speak freely, explore deeply, and be wholly yourself. Whether you're an individual seeking clarity, a young adult finding your way, or a family working toward connection and understanding, therapy can be a powerful space for change—and you're not alone in the process.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need a place to start. I’m here to support you in finding that path forward—at your pace, in your own way.
Welcome.
