“I am writing this review in the hope that it can help someone else who is considering seeking therapy, like myself, maybe for the first time. At a recent time in my life where I found myself completely overwhelmed with multiple life changes, and not knowing what to do or which way to turn, I made a desperate call. I am very fortunate that Janet Duffy was on the receiving end. Although I didn't feel therapy was in my comfort zone, that changed the minute we started talking. After a short conversation on the phone, I immediately made an appointment to see her. I can honestly say, from the minute I walked into her beautiful office and sat down, I felt like I could finally take a breath. Janet is so kind, welcoming, smart, and so empathetic and understanding, I just started talking and couldn't stop, and she listened with no judgement. The whole experience just made me feel safe. I continue to see her and it has helped enormously. I hope this can help you too. It just takes one call. ”

Getting to know Janet Duffy

Janet Duffy is a top-rated licensed psychotherapist and founder of Suite Three Psychotherapy. She specializes in treating anxiety, panic attacks, self-esteem issues, trauma, OCD, and personality disorders. Janet has advanced training in the assessment and treatment of narcissistic and antagonistic relational dynamics, including the psychological impact of coercive control, attachment disruption, and high-conflict relationship systems. She works with individuals navigating complex relationship concerns, including narcissistic abuse and betrayal trauma. Her style is engaging, warm, curious, open, empathetic, direct, and empowering. Janet also earned a postgraduate Certificate in Personality Disorders through the International Society of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (ISTFP), taught by Otto Kernberg, with a focus on phenomenology, characterology, psychodynamics, and evidence-based treatment approaches.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Janet provides depth-oriented, individualized psychotherapy for people seeking more than short-term symptom management. She believes the quality of the therapeutic relationship is central to successful treatment and takes care to ensure a thoughtful clinical match. Sessions are structured, focused, and designed to support both emotional safety and meaningful progress. Janet’s therapeutic orientation is integrative and strongly grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, drawing from elements of Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP), relational approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She also incorporates Attachment Theory and Trauma-Informed approaches. When working with couples, Janet uses elements of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, tailoring her approach to best suit each individual or couple’s needs. Her patients report making significant progress, describing treatment as transformative and invaluable

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Janet's approach includes traditional psychodynamic psychotherapy and contemporary evidence-based treatment interventions. Her style is engaging, warm, curious, open, empathetic, collaborative, direct, and empowering. She believes you are your own expert. Janet will help you work through current challenges and address immediate issues, while leaving room for you to explore deeper feelings and unconscious drives which may be contributing to fears or unwanted patterns of behaviors. Janet will help you untangle and address underlying issues which may be contributing to relationship stress and symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. While grounded in the theoretical approaches mentioned above, Janet works from an eclectic orientation in order to provide each patient with a specialized treatment plan suited to their goals and needs. Her strong research background allows her to provide evidence-based psychotherapies along with a variety of therapeutic techniques that integrate elements of holistic health, healing, dream work, and wellness interventions when appropriate. Janet is an out-of-network provider but will be happy to provide an invoice for services and help you process your insurance reimbursement claims.

Janet has been a transformative presence in my life, offering compassionate and insightful guidance that has really helped me navigate through challenges and everyday instances. Her professional yet empathetic approach creates a safe and comfortable space for growth in every session.
Janet has been an incredible therapist and a key part of my personal growth. She is very attentive, keeps clear notes on my progress, and always remembers important details about our sessions. Janet creates a safe space for me to express how I’m feeling, while also making thoughtful observations about how I process specific emotions. Her insights have been invaluable in helping me navigate a major life transition. Thanks to her guidance, I now feel confident living a life that I’m proud of, on my own terms. Janet’s kind and gentle demeanor makes it easy to open up and share my feelings, which is something I deeply value. Whether in person, over video, or on the phone, she has been consistently supportive and effective in her approach. I highly recommend Janet to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist.
Amazing !!
Janet was so comforting and so helpful. Her kindness immediately puts you at ease and made her easy to talk to. She read me like a book after only 10 minutes. So kind, professional, and so helpful.
Janet is a very easy person to talk to. Upon the first meeting, I felt very comfortable and at ease interacting with her. She is very professional, punctual, and organized. I look forward to each session with her and already feel grounded.
In short, a professional who clearly has lots of experience and years under her belt, especially when dealing with couples that are struggling. Would highly recommend and happy to have found Janet on ZocDoc!
Janet Duffy is a wonderful therapist on the UES. I instantly connected with her during my first session due to her knowledge, professionalism and guidance that she offered. She helped problem solve various things in our first session and I highly recommend Janet.

Janet has really helped me navigate through some dark times both personally and intra relationship. She has been a pillar in my mental health journey and I strongly recommend her guidance to anyone seeking help.
It was honestly such a breath of fresh air going into that office. Janet was super cool and crazy understanding with my problems.

I’ve seen 4-5 different psychotherapists over the years and I’m so lucky to have finally found Janet! I have progressed so much since I began seeing her and have actually referred a bunch of friends over to the practice. Janet has helped me develop skills for everything from coping with anxiety and depression to overcoming panic attacks and agoraphobia. She uses many different techniques in her treatment and is extremely well informed in her work. I could not recommend Janet and Suite Three Psychotherapy enough!
Janet is amazing and is so committed to her patients. I have worked with other therapists in the past and although I've only been with Janet for a few months, I know she is the best therapist I have ever worked with. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to help you change behaviors or think deeply!
I look forward to my sessions with Janet every week. She is empathetic, supportive, and very knowledgeable. She's helped me so much on my personal and mental health journey and above all she's a great person! I have recommended her to several friends seeking therapy.
