Dr. Rob McMillan, Psychologist

Midtown isn’t exactly starved for therapists, but finding one with an office that doesn’t feel like a corporate drop-ceiling box can still feel like a minor victory. Dr. Rob McMillan, Psychologist keeps a room on the third floor of 1430 Broadway—just high enough to muffle the sidewalk hum without losing the pulse of the neighborhood. The building itself is one of those anonymous pre-war towers that line the avenue, the kind where the directory is a laminated sheet behind scratched plexiglass and the elevator smells faintly of yesterday’s lunch.

Psychology practices in New York tend to cluster around the same few blocks, as if proximity to other clinicians might somehow improve the odds of a breakthrough. This one sits a few doors down from a Duane Reade and across from a bank branch that’s been there since the Carter administration, which gives it the quiet advantage of being both central and forgettable. The address—1430 Broadway Rm 304 New York, NY 10018—places it squarely between the theater district and the garment district, a stretch where the sidewalks are always crowded but the storefronts change every eighteen months.

If the idea of scheduling an appointment in a building that also houses a tax preparer and a discount wig shop appeals to you, they can be reached at (212) 840-8410 ext. . The room comes with a restroom, which, in a city where every square foot is monetized, is worth mentioning. For directions, the map is here.
