Walter Bockting, PhD, LP

Walter Bockting, PhD, LP, operates in the psychology space on the Upper West Side, offering therapeutic care anchored in evidence-based practices. This corner of Manhattan hosts a range of neighborhood clinics, yet the focus stays sharp here: treatment grounded in current research and tailored to individual needs. Sessions often circle issues like gender identity, sexual health, and chronic stressors—common threads in today’s conversation about mental wellness.

A stroll down Riverside Drive reveals tree-lined blocks where the Hudson’s presence softens the usual city pulse. The office sits inside an unassuming building at 1051 Riverside Drive, a quiet address wedged between century-old apartment houses and a riverfront promenade. Far from Midtown’s buzz, the block feels more residential than office-heavy, with foot traffic moving at a steady but unhurried pace.

Across town, clinicians open their doors for similar goals, but this practice keeps its frame straightforward: hours reserved for intake, ongoing therapy, and specialized assessments. Some clients arrive for short-term support around panic or insomnia; others pursue longer arcs addressing trauma or identity questions. Fees and insurance details aren’t listed online, so direct contact is the clearest route.

Call (646) 774-6937 or pull up the directions to the map pin that sits above the brownstone steps. The block between W 112th and W 113th Streets is a five-minute walk from the 1 train, making the trip a straight shot for anyone north of Central Park.
