Brianna Paruolo, Best online therapist in New York specializing in anxiety therapy and perfectionism treatment for young professional women

Licensed therapist specializing in anxiety and perfectionism for young professional women

Your search for the best therapist in New York ends here.

Meet Brianna Paruolo, LCMHC-D, the Founder Behind On Par Therapy.

I created On Par Therapy for deeply impressive, successful people who need practical tools and rituals for their mental health that actually work.

I don't just understand the challenges high-achieving women face; I've lived them. My transition from corporate pressure to becoming a licensed therapist came from experiencing firsthand how traditional therapy wasn't built for ambitious people navigating real life.

What sets my practice apart:

  • I'VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE: Accomplished yet exhausted. Successful yet searching. Wondering, "Can I make it one more week before I fall apart?" That's exactly who I'm here for: people who are busy with their lives and need support that works right now.

  • WE DEMYSTIFY THERAPY: A lot of people have solid routines for fitness, nutrition, career development, but use whatever for their mental health. I make evidence-based methods (CBT, acceptance-based approaches) accessible and easy to integrate into your actual life.

  • YOU DESERVE THIS: When you book a session, it should feel essential, not indulgent. My approach helps you reach your potential without unnecessary complexity. Practical tools you can use this week, not someday.

  • REAL TRANSFORMATION: My clients don't just survive their demanding careers; they thrive in every area of their lives. They find renewed energy, healthy and deeper relationships, and authentic confidence that extends far beyond the office.

This practice exists because you deserve support that matches your ambition and respects your time. When you book your first session, I want you to think: "I deserve this."

Because you do.
