Are you or a loved one feeling stuck – uncertain about navigating changes in your life, how you see yourself, or how to reconnect with those close to you? When we feel stuck, taking steps forward can feel like a monumental task. We can work together to break down your thoughts and uncertainties, determine the best way forward, and put practical strategies into action, to empower you to create the life you want for yourself. In me, you’ll have a collaborator who will follow your lead and ensure you feel you heard but will be willing to challenge you and continue to motivate you towards achieving your goals. Therapy with me involves weaving together practical skill-building and evidence-based strategies to help you achieve your individualized goals. I work with individuals experiencing difficult life transitions at work, at home, or at school. Through individual, parent, or family sessions, we will untangle your thoughts, improve your self-esteem, and take tangible steps towards sustainable change. Neurodiversity (Autism & ADHD) affirming and LGBTQ+ friendly, I always take a person-centric approach. When you have a better understanding of who you are and what you want, your goals will feel attainable. Everyone has the ability to move past the struggles they’re experiencing, and together we can create solutions and develop skills to build long-term happiness. If you’re ready to learn how we can work together, email or call me for a 15-minute consultation.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what’s going on internally? Whether you’re wrestling with academic pressures, struggling to understand why certain tasks feel harder than they should, or wondering if there’s more to why you feel anxious or disconnected, I’m here to help you find clarity and answers. I’m a psychologist in New York City with a focus on assessments that go beyond surface-level challenges, helping students like you understand who they are and what they need to succeed. Many of the students who find testing helpful are motivated, thoughtful, and want to know themselves better. They may feel like no matter how hard they try, something still feels off, or they feel out of sync with others. If you’ve been wondering if there’s a reason behind your difficulties with focus, social interactions, anxiety, or even low moods, psychological testing can help reveal what’s happening beneath the surface. I work especially well with students who want a deeper understanding of themselves, so they can navigate college life, relationships, and personal goals with confidence. The results of testing shouldn’t feel like another test to understand. My approach is about making sense of what’s going on in a clear, accessible way. My goal is for you to feel equipped to take on college – and life – with greater self-awareness and practical tools that work for you.

Sophie Spiegel

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
In-Person & Online
New York, NY

With seven years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults, helping people navigate life transitions, behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, self-esteem concerns, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. My goal is to meet you where you are. Whether you're carrying something heavy or simply searching for a clearer path forward, I'm committed to creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, seen, supported, and understood. When you feel that kind of safety, meaningful growth becomes possible — and that's what we'll work toward together: healing, resilience, and the life you envision for yourself. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to support you as we work together toward your goals. In our sessions, you can expect a nonjudgmental space where you feel empowered to share your experiences, explore challenges, build on your strengths, and create meaningful growth and change. Because every person's journey is unique, I tailor treatment to your individual needs and goals. My warm, empathetic approach may draw on person-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), alongside other evidence-based interventions, to provide care that is personalized, collaborative, and genuinely responsive to your experiences. My path to becoming a therapist began with a genuine desire to understand people and how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors shape the lives we live. That curiosity led me toward direct work with families, children, adolescents, and young adults in crisis, experiences that deepened my commitment to trauma-informed, individualized care. Working alongside people in some of their most difficult moments strengthened my ability to show up with compassion, empathy, and understanding, in an environment where people feel genuinely supported. I love playing softball and catching baseball games whenever I can. When I'm not on the field or in the stands, I enjoy watching movies and TV, traveling, and spending time with the friends, family, and loved ones who matter most to me.

Pre-Licensed Professional
In-Person & Online
New York, NY

I believe every patient is the director of their own story, goals, and aspirations, and that belief shapes how I show up for you. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), I use psychotherapy, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care to help children, adolescents, adults, and families work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional challenges, and life transitions. This work calls for a supportive, empathetic, and collaborative partner, which is exactly the role I aim to fill, listening closely to each patient and letting their needs and goals guide our work together. I look forward to creating a safe space where you feel heard, empowered, and supported as you navigate your experiences and work toward the changes you hope to make. Compassion, collaboration, and trauma-informed care guide everything I do in this work. I'm passionate about creating a space where you can heal, grow, and feel empowered to navigate life's challenges, and I want that space to feel nonjudgmental, safe, and supportive from our first session. To get there, I use a patient-centered approach that incorporates psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping you better understand yourself, develop healthy coping skills, and navigate challenges. True to my belief that patients are active participants in their own healing, I work alongside you rather than simply providing answers. I also value showing up as my authentic self, creating a genuine therapeutic relationship built on trust, openness, and connection. Above all, I tailor my approach to your unique experiences, needs, and goals. My path to becoming a therapist began with my experiences working with adults from diverse backgrounds and witnessing the impact that having a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space can have on a person's well-being. These experiences deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and patient-centered care. I bring a warm, empathetic, and culturally sensitive perspective to each session now, creating a space where adults feel heard, understood, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and work toward personal growth. I love spending quality time with my family and loved ones, exploring new places around the city, and trying new restaurants and foods. Traveling, discovering new experiences, and finding time to relax and recharge are also high on my list.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
In-Person & Online
New York, NY

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) working with adults and adolescents on social anxiety, identity exploration, relationship difficulties, mood instability, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, challenges with goal attainment, intergenerational conflict, and major life transitions. This work also includes a particular focus on young adults, adolescents, and LGBTQ+ populations, helping them navigate relationship challenges, self-compassion, and major life changes. Collaboration is at the center of how I practice: you stay at the forefront of your own care, guiding your life toward a better future. Watching you take control of your decisions and life in our work together is what I look forward to most. Helping people access their inner world in order to gain self-compassion is something I'm passionate about. That’s why I take a strength-based, non-judgmental, and curious approach centered on emotional regulation skills and self-esteem building, in a compassionate, relaxed environment. Through an exploratory, conversational style, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you build self-esteem and understand your thoughts and behaviors. These treatments are tailored to you at all times, taking your unique needs and situation into consideration for truly customized care. My path to becoming a therapist began with my journey of carving my own identity within a religious circle, along with the challenges I faced during that time. This experience deepened my commitment to providing humanistic and collaborative care to my patients, allowing me to bring a sincere and authentic perspective to each session in my practice now. Outside the office, I enjoy bike rides and beach days when the weather is nice, and I love catching a great comedy show when it's cold out!

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
In-Person & Online
New York, NY

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 10 years of experience helping adults navigate trauma and inner-child healing, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, and major life transitions. My work centers people of all backgrounds, with a particular focus on women, neurodivergent individuals, and members of culturally diverse and LGBTQ+ communities. Together, we make sense of the patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, so you can heal from past experiences, better understand your emotions and relationships, build self-compassion, and create meaningful change that helps you feel more grounded and authentic in your life. I believe in meeting each person with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment, which allows me to be a genuine, collaborative partner in your care. From there, we can recognize and break the patterns that no longer serve you and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and fulfilling. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and culturally responsive, integrating evidence-based techniques with deeper exploration of the experiences and patterns that have shaped you. That care shows up as a passionate commitment to helping you understand yourself with more kindness, heal the parts of you that have been carrying old wounds, and create meaningful, lasting change. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where you're free to show up authentically. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches, I help you gain insight, build practical coping skills, and grow in ways that last. That work is genuine, down-to-earth, and shaped around your pace, tailored to your unique needs, experiences, and goals. My path to becoming a therapist began with a genuine curiosity about people – their stories, their relationships, and the experiences that shape who they become. Over time, that curiosity grew into a deep commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, individualized care. Now, I bring warmth, authenticity, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person's lived experience to every session, creating space for you to feel truly seen, understood, and supported as you navigate your healing. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy drawing and painting, exploring my creative side, caring for my ever-growing collection of houseplants, reading, traveling, and spending quality time with my family. I also appreciate the little things that help life feel more grounded—good music, a cozy space, and finding moments for creativity and connection.
