Black magic Removal & Love Spells Spiritual Healer, Best Psychic Palm Reader, In New York

5.0399 Google reviews

This Brooklyn practice combines several disciplines under one roof: psychic and astrology readings, fortune telling, and Reiki-style energy healing. Without a public website, most of what's known about the service comes from its Google listing and customer reviews, which describe one-on-one sessions built around emotional and relationship guidance rather than quick predictions.

What people praise

Reviewers frequently describe feeling calmer and more grounded after a session
Several customers mention the reader addressing relationship trust and confidence issues specifically
Consistently described as a warm, unhurried approach rather than a rushed reading
Nearly 400 reviews at a 5.0 average, a rare combination of scale and consistency

Worth knowing

No public website, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm pricing and what a session actually includes

This Manhattan practice, run by a reader named David, specializes specifically in love and relationship readings, with tarot and rune-based sessions the website says have been offered for over 20 years.

Sarah’s Visions NYC

4.8343 Google reviews

Sarah's Visions operates out of a Midtown storefront near Times Square, offering walk-in and appointment psychic readings. Reviewers describe energy cleansing sessions alongside standard readings, and the Midtown location makes it one of the more accessible options on this list for visitors or anyone working nearby.

What people praise

Multiple reviewers describe Sarah specifically as accurate and detailed about personal history
Praised for a friendly, welcoming energy during first-time visits
Convenient Midtown location near major transit

Worth knowing

A minority of reviewers report a reading that didn't match their situation, worth keeping in mind since sessions may be handled by different staff, not always Sarah herself

Our take: The rating, 4.8 across 343 reviews, is solid but has more spread than the others on this list; the storefront setup means you may not always see the same reader, which reviews suggest matters here.

How we scored this list

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many people actually rated the business, benchmarked against every psychic service we compared in New York. Confidence blends rating and volume so a handful of five-star reviews doesn’t outrank hundreds of them. Recency tracks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change these numbers; the Featured badge, where used, only marks a paying partner, not a higher rank.

How much does a psychic reading cost in New York? (2026)

Pricing for psychic readings varies widely by session length, the type of reading (tarot, astrology, energy work), and whether it’s in person or by phone. We didn’t find pricing consistent or verifiable enough across these five businesses to publish specific numbers, so ask for the rate before you book. Sessions are typically charged per reading rather than by subscription.

Psychic readings near you in New York

This list spans Brooklyn’s Flatbush and Bedford-Stuyvesant, Manhattan’s Gramercy and Midtown neighborhoods, and Harlem, so there’s a real option in most boroughs without a long commute. If you’re searching for a psychic near me in Midtown specifically, Sarah’s Visions is the closest to Times Square; the Brooklyn options are a short subway ride from most of Manhattan.

What to ask before booking a psychic reading

What’s the cost per session, and does it change based on reading length or type?
Is the reading in person, by phone, or both, and which do you recommend for a first visit?
Will I see the same reader every time, or does that vary by appointment?
What should I expect to bring or prepare beforehand, if anything?
Is there a cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, including rating, review volume, and recency. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which gets a badge and a placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five psychic services?

We compared psychic and astrology practices across New York with a real, verifiable Google presence, then ranked by a blend of rating, review volume, confidence, and recency.

How often is this list updated?

We last verified ratings and review counts in July 2026, and we recheck periodically as new reviews come in.

Does Best in Hood verify psychic accuracy?

No. We report what real customers say about their experience, communication, and professionalism. We don’t test or endorse the accuracy of any reading.

Is my session confidential?

Most independent practices treat sessions as private, but ask directly before you book if confidentiality matters to you.

The bottom line

Master Shankar ji is the safe default here, the largest review base on this page at a 5.0 average. If you specifically want relationship-focused readings, the Manhattan practice run by David is worth a look too. Whoever you choose, confirm the price and session length before you sit down, since none of these businesses publish a fixed rate card.
