Dr. Shanna Bean

Upper West Side streets have seen their share of therapists come and go—some leave after a few years, others stay long enough to become part of the neighborhood’s quiet rhythm. Psychologists here tend to specialize in the particular pressures of city life: tight schedules, crowded subways, the way a tiny apartment can feel like both refuge and cage. Dr. Shanna Bean keeps an office at 60 W 66th St, New York, NY 10023, a building that blends into the block without fanfare. Sessions might cover anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or the slower-burn questions that surface when routines start to feel hollow; the practice also handles grief counseling and life transitions, the kind of shifts that arrive unannounced and linger.

Finding a slot that fits around work or school can be tricky, so it helps that the office sits steps from Lincoln Center and a handful of subway stops. If the address works for your commute, the number to call is (917) 740-4280. Directions and the latest availability are easiest to pull up on the map; once you’ve got the logistics sorted, the rest is just showing up.
