TRIBECA THERAPY CELEBRATES 10 YEARS
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
In March 2009, psychotherapist Matt Lundquist set up what was then a solo shop on Broadway and Reade, down the street from his apartment. Just a few months after Lehman crashed and when Tribeca was still a desert for many services like therapy, Matt hung out a shingle and established Tribeca Therapy, a boutique practice offering creative therapy (think Downtown, not Uptown) to individuals, couples, kids and families. The practice has since moved to Chambers Street and now has a team of 8 therapists. Matt was one of the first people Erik interviewed for his TCQ&A.  Matt has become a fixture in the neighborhood and is an active blogger at https://tribecatherapy.com/.
