Arthur Heiserman, PHD

Upper West Side therapy offices don’t always announce themselves with neon signs—some sit quietly above street-level storefronts, blending into the pre-war brickwork. Arthur Heiserman, PHD keeps that low-key profile from a second-floor suite at 20 W 86th St #1b, steps from the 86th Street subway stop and the usual parade of dog walkers and grocery carts.

Psychologists in this stretch of Manhattan tend to specialize in the rhythms of city life: the noise, the schedules, the way anonymity can feel both freeing and isolating. Heiserman’s practice fits the pattern, offering individual psychotherapy, couples counseling, and consultation for adults navigating everything from career transitions to family estrangement. The work isn’t flashy; it’s the kind of steady attention that rarely makes headlines but often keeps people moving forward.

Directions are simple enough—ring the buzzer marked 1B and climb one flight. A map pinpoints the exact spot here, should you need it. Neighborhood veterans know the block well—it’s the same one that hosts the Sunday farmers’ market and the corner newsstand that still stocks out-of-town papers.

Appointments are booked by phone; 212-362-5071 connects directly to the office. If you’re new to the neighborhood or just new to therapy, it’s one of those numbers worth saving—no fanfare, just a line to someone who might help make sense of things.
