Here to help.

I work with adults and couples who are thoughtful, capable, and often accustomed to handling life well, but have reached a point where their usual ways of coping no longer seem to be working. They may feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of what they want, or they may find themselves repeating patterns in their relationships or work that they don’t fully understand. I also work with people navigating major transitions such as divorce, parenting, career changes, loss, questions of purpose, and the complicated process of figuring out what comes next. My approach is psychodynamic, direct, and deeply curious about what is happening beneath the surface. I help clients understand not only what they are struggling with, but why they respond to life and relationships in the ways they do. Together, we explore patterns, defenses, fears, expectations, and the stories people develop about themselves and others. I value openness and honesty in the therapeutic relationship, and I’m comfortable saying what I see when I think something may be important for a client to consider, even when it may be difficult to hear. At the same time, I want clients to feel that they can bring anything into the room without fear of judgment. My style is warm, engaged, and conversational, and I often use humor and playfulness to bring some lightness to difficult conversations and reduce shame around things that can feel hard to talk about. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New York with extensive experience working with individuals and couples. My work draws from psychodynamic, attachment, relational, and differentiation-oriented approaches. I provide psychotherapy through my private practice, The Mindful Map Mental Health Counseling, PLLC, based in New York City. I offer therapy exclusively through secure virtual sessions to clients throughout New York State. My practice is private pay, with superbills provided for clients seeking possible out-of-network insurance reimbursement.

My holistic approach involves caring for the "whole person", considering the psychological, physical, cultural, and spiritual aspects of the individual. Your input is valuable. Whether it involves medication management, supportive therapy, or psychotherapy, we'll work together to determine the best course of treatment for you.

I founded The Lieberman Center for Psychotherapeutics to provide highly specialized, discreet psychiatric care for professionals navigating zero-failure environments. My clinical objective is to help you systematically deconstruct occupational burnout, achieve neurobiological stability, and restore your professional focus through a model that integrates precision psychopharmacology with advanced psychotherapeutic strategy.

My philosophy and vision in treatment involves facilitating a combination of talk therapy and mindful body practices, enabling each person to realize his or her unique self with compassion and awareness.

Offering therapy that is insight oriented as a first step to healing. A structure of non-judgement, consistency and a strong client-therapist relationship are important pieces. This relationship is used as a tool to help make sense of and improve various emotions, thoughts, behaviors and patterns that may have become disruptive or problematic. Through guided exploration, the goal is to understand their influence on the way in which we experience ourself in the world.

When triggered by the right stressors, the genes we are born with can lead to anxiety, depression, mood swings, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations. And throughout life, we may experience abuse, neglect, loss, poverty, trauma and situations that make us feel “stuck.” Most stressors require support via therapy. Some respond better to medications. Whether it's ongoing therapy, medication, or a combination of the two, I will give you the evidence-based research. YOU will decide what's best for you.

I’m a mental health therapist specializing in anxiety treatment and life transitions, offering in-person. Something isn't working anymore. Maybe it’s the anxiety that hits at 3 a.m. and won’t let you sleep. Maybe it’s the way certain memories still hijack your body, even though your mind says you should be over them. Maybe it’s a transition that looked like progress on paper but feels like freefall in real life. Or maybe you feel exhausted from holding it all together, and you’re not sure how much longer you can keep performing okay. You might be here because you’re done pretending. Done reassuring everyone that you’re fine when you’re not. Done managing symptoms instead of actually changing what’s underneath them. Whatever brought you here, you’re looking for something real. Here’s what I bring: a direct, warm, occasionally funny presence who won’t let you off the hook but also won’t shame you. I use evidence-based approaches like anxiety treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I’m interested in you: the patterns that keep you stuck, the beliefs about yourself you’ve never questioned, and the specific tools that will actually move the needle. I work well with people at different points in their healing journey, from those still learning to name what they feel to those who understand their patterns but can’t seem to change them. My approach combines insight with frameworks. We understand why this keeps happening. Then we build something that actually interrupts it. Our collaborative, goal-oriented counseling helps identify what’s keeping you trapped, whether it’s a nervous system stuck in overdrive, old survival strategies that no longer fit your life, or the gap between the person you present and the person you actually are. Then we build skills you can use in real life, not just in my office. I believe therapy should have a point. We’ll know we’re done when you’re living the life you actually want, not just managing the one you settled for. If you’re tired of performing wellness and ready to do the real work, let’s talk.

I help adults as they get ready to make important changes in their lives. I value working with people from various religious backgrounds, nationalities, sexual orientations, and ethniccultural identities and as my client, I commit to ensuring that you feel seen and valued. Clients can expect to gain self-knowledge, to find clarity and acceptance, to feel empowered and capable, and to learn practical skills and strategies. Whatever you are facing, whatever life has thrown your way, you are not alone.

Each person is unique, with their own set of strengths and challenges. We are all here to learn and grow in life, if we so choose, and I’m here to support you in that process. Working together, we will learn more about you, who you are, what is important to you, and how to improve your relationship with yourself and with others. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, and I have been doing this work for well over a decade. I have supported clients through many challenges, helping them feel better about themselves, feel more empowered to handle what comes their way, and realize their goals and dreams. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing if our connection is a good fit.

I believe the key to successful treatment is creating a safe, nonjudgmental space that enhances shared curiosity and connection. I will work with you to identify thoughts and behaviors that may be limiting your potential to lead your most fulfilling and meaningful life. Together, we will get to the root of these self-limiting thoughts and behaviors. I have experience working with adults of all ages and backgrounds. I am particularly passionate about supporting clients going through fertility challenges and entering parenthood.
