Jordan Gaches, MHC-LP

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and reading profile after profile doesn’t always make the search easier. I understand that feeling deeply. Long before becoming a therapist, I moved to New York City to pursue acting. After my own diagnosis with OCD, I discovered how transformative it can be to explore your story with someone who listens without judgment. That experience inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others navigate anxiety, uncertainty, and major life changes with compassion and clarity. At New Generation Mental Health Counseling (NGMHC), I strive to create a warm, accepting therapeutic space where you can reflect, heal, and grow at your own pace. I value each person’s unique background, identity, and beliefs, and my goal is to help you feel genuinely seen and supported. Whether you’re coping with intrusive thoughts, stress, self-doubt, or complicated relationships, we’ll work together to understand what patterns may no longer be serving you—and what possibilities lie ahead.

My clinical approach is integrative and tailored to your needs. Drawing from a psychodynamic lens, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy, I help clients gain insight, build emotional resilience, and take meaningful action toward change. I bring experience from working at a 24-hour crisis line, counseling justice-involved teens and adults, and supporting individuals in inpatient settings—roles that strengthened my belief that everyone deserves a space where they can show up fully and be met with empathy. Therapy changed my life, and I’ve witnessed how powerful a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship can be for others as well. With care, collaboration, and an emphasis on your strengths, I’m here to help you move forward and create a new path—one grounded in acceptance, growth, and hope.

If you’re looking for a therapist in New York who understands OCD, anxiety, and life transitions, I’d be honored to support you. Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or returning after some time away, together we can build the tools you need to thrive.
