Manhattan and Brooklyn practice blends psychoanalysis with creative arts therapy to meet clients where they are - culturally, emotionally, and personally.
-- Explaining your background to a therapist who doesn’t quite “get it” can be exhausting. The unspoken family dynamics. The communication style. The way a loving comment can land as pressure or criticism. Many New Yorkers—especially those from immigrant, international, or culturally complex backgrounds—find themselves spending valuable session time translating their experience instead of actually working through it.
Peace of Mind Psychoanalysis & Creative Arts Therapy exists to change that.
With offices in Midtown Manhattan and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and virtual sessions available throughout New York State, the practice offers therapy that is both deeply personal and culturally attuned. The team includes clinicians from diverse backgrounds, including Hebrew-speaking Israeli therapists, allowing some clients the option to speak in their native language with someone who intuitively understands their cultural context. For others, it simply means working with a therapist who is curious, nuanced, and comfortable navigating identity, belonging, and difference.
Founded by Shira Hon-Lahav, the practice brings together psychoanalytic training with creative arts therapy. Her background spans psychology and drama therapy, and that integration shapes the work across the team. Sessions may incorporate movement, visual expression, theatrical techniques alongside traditional talk therapy - that way, multiple ways are available to access and process emotional experience.Some clients prefer a more classic conversational approach, while others benefit from more experiential tools. The emphasis is on flexibility and fit.
Clients come for many reasons: depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, or a general sense of feeling stuck.Couples often seek support before patterns become entrenched, looking to better understand the deeper dynamics driving recurring conflict. Children and adolescents are also supported as they navigate their own developmental and emotional challenges.
The practice is designed to feel different from the moment you walk in—warm, grounded, and human. A space where clients can settle in and feel met, rather than evaluated.
Insurance is handled on an out-of-network basis, with additional coverage options available through DavidShield. Fees and availability are discussed during an initial consultation call, which the practice encourages as an opportunity to ensure a strong therapeutic fit.
