Dr. Bob Bartlett

The city pulses with talk therapy clinics, yet finding solid ground still feels rare. Dr. Bob Bartlett works in a distinctive corner of that landscape—on the ninth floor of 817 Broadway, where the neighborhood mixes day-job energy with after-hours calm. Locating a straightforward place to talk through stressors shouldn’t feel like another project to schedule, and that’s the point here: straightforward sessions without the extra frills.

Between Union Square’s foot traffic and the gray tower quiet, it’s an address that splits attention between the street and the work inside. Downtown Manhattan residents juggling schedules or visitors charting short stays often need a reliable spot where leaving a message or sending a note leads to quick follow-up rather than a maze. No elaborate website hopping or secret door codes—just a phone line one ring away.

In therapy, frameworks vary as widely as the clients who arrive. Cognitive-behavioral tools sit beside psychodynamic listening, mood management tools alongside family-of-origin insights. Couples meet separately or together; individual agendas can center anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns, or straightforward daily grind fatigue. The focus stays practical.

Head up to the 9th floor with the directions in hand, dial (917) 697-1270 once you’re stalled outside the elevators. Leave a brief note or just your preferred window—waits run shorter than the morning subway ride.
