New Yorkers are ditching therapists for psychics: ‘I just kind of gave up’

Some New York area residents are fed up with their therapists, ditching their shrinks for psychics who give them “real” guidance instead.

Aria D’Amore, 35, an artist and model living in Jersey City, was dissatisfied with therapy for nearly 30 years, so she decided to seek guidance from an intuitive healer practicing tarot and astrology.

“I just kind of gave up on therapy after a while because I don’t find it helpful,” D’Amore told The Post.

“Therapists are in no rush to get your problems figured out,” she added. “It drags on. It’s a very long process.”

In fact, D’Amore doesn’t think therapy is ideal “for many people” due to the “cost barrier.”

Aria D’Amore says she quit therapy because she didn’t find it helpful. “Seeing a therapist every week is like a habit, like they want you to keep coming back. It’s almost like an addiction in a strange way,” she said.

D’Amore also believes therapists “are very disconnected from their patients,” especially those who chose a “more artistic life path.”

“That divide will lead to disconnect at best, judgment at worst,” she said.

Aria D'Amore said that seeing a psychic did more for her than therapy ever did.

NYC psychic Dante Sabatino, 55, who has been reading tarot cards for over 40 years, told The Post he’s seen an uptick in people seeking alternative healing during the pandemic”

“A lot of people have just been seeking out more into the unknown and more kinds of healing from different modalities, including tarot, astrology and all the other ones,” Sabatino explained.

Before finding her “own internal compass” through her psychic, D’Amore began a traditional psychotherapy journey when she was 5 after her parents divorced. As an adult, she saw several therapists but felt “frustrated” by the process.

I just bought a double indemnity policy from Pacific All-Risk. The guy on the right sold it to me. Now my wife is encouraging me to go on a train ride. I think it might be fun.

Ditch one sort of charlatan for another.
