About

Dr. Will Swift, Inclusive Therapy

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and one of the early architects of modern cognitive therapy. For more than 40 years, I’ve been helping people in Manhattan and beyond shift how they think, feel, and connect.

My style is straightforward and warm, with a playful edge. I focus on what matters most to you — and makes therapy as engaging as it is transformative.

My perspective is shaped by a lifetime of experience — from supporting clients through the AIDS crisis and 9/11, to standing alongside those navigating marriage equality and social justice movements. This wide lens informs every session. I started practicing when personal ads ruled the dating scene. Now, with dating apps and hookup culture, connection looks very different — and sometimes more confusing.

Whether you’re casually dating, seeking a long-term relationship, or untangling challenges with a partner, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to help you find your way.
