Ken Voorhees, LCSW

They don’t come much better than Ken. He has a magnetic personality that you are able to relate to and feel comfortable around. He takes the time to get to know his clients and then tailors a specific remedy to help guide them thru their specific journey. Ken has made it fun, interesting, and above all else, lifesaving. I now consider him a friend and look forward to seeing him each week.

I highly recommend Ken as a therapist. I called him a year ago after finding his website online, expecting to just make an appointment. Instead, he talked with me for half an hour in a friendly way about what was going on and whether he thought he could help. The fact that he dropped what he was doing to have an in-​depth conversation with a stranger speaks to his innate gift for counseling and his dedication to the people he works with.
Ken is extremely perceptive, intelligent and direct. He is able to be empathetic and non-​judgmental without sugar-​coating things. Working with Ken over the past year has changed the way that I cope with stress and the way I approach my life.

I cannot recommend Ken enough. He has helped me identify what needed to be changed in my life and gave me the tools to make those changes. He has been nothing but supportive, warm and caring. What a find! Thank you!

Informed, engaged, grounded. These are a few words to describe Ken Voorhees and his work as a psychotherapist. With his wide-​ranging knowledge, experience and clinical skills, as well as a great sense of humor, Ken is well-​equipped to address whatever therapeutic challenges come his way. In addition, he is a therapist among therapists, who can always offer incisive insight and wisdom to a fellow colleague. Highly recommended.

Finding a good therapist anywhere can be a challenge, but finding a good therapist in New York City seems especially fraught with difficulties. You’ll find every school of thought and every kind of personality type in the therapists here, many of them curmudgeonly, pedantic, and decidedly old school. While no one can be everything to everyone, Ken Voorhees is the proverbial breath of fresh air, and does his best to meet YOUR therapeutic needs (and make no mistake, your time with Ken is YOUR therapy, not a platform for some scholarly agenda). Ken Voorhees genuinely cares about his patients and has the intelligence and depth of heart to help them. His amazing insight and humanity have helped me greatly, and if you are seeking psychological counseling in the NYC area, I cannot recommend him highly enough.

what a life-​saver…
empowering, enlightening & refreshing

Ken Voorhees has been a great find for me, I had an immediate connection with him upon my first visit! He is a warm & wonderful therapist with an enormous education and understanding of life and how to navigate threw it while carrying all of ones baggage, then helps you to understand how to lighten the load, piece by piece without any trauma!
If you’re serious about working to affect change in your life, Ken is your man!!!

Going to Ken was absolutely refreshing! Unlike most therapists that just listen to you babble on and on without ever saying anything other than «tell me how that made you feel» Ken actually has a conversation with you about it! He tells you about yourself in a healing way. Too many of us really don’t want to look in that mirror and change. We just want to go through the motions. But Ken really wants us healed and productive in our lives. Ken helped me with my relationship by showing us how to communicate and he also helped me control my violent temper. I absolutely adore Ken and if I am EVER in another situation where I’m out of control he WILL be the one I call for help. Thanks Ken!

Ken helped me find myself and tackle the issues that held me down. I truly believe that Ken saved my life when I had hit rock bottom. Today I am proud to be a testament for his work and recommend him highly.
