Therapy for the Therapist in NYC
Therapy for early-career therapists who care deeply, overthink everything, and have a part that wonders if they’re cut out for this
I specialize in working with early-career therapists who are struggling with imposter syndrome, workplace stress, difficult authority/ supervisor dynamics, and the pressure to get it all right.

Being early in this work can look like…
You leave sessions replaying everything you said and wondering what you missed.
You care deeply about your clients, but a part of you never feels like you’re doing enough.
Feedback from a supervisor or boss can send you into a spiral, even when part of you knows it wasn’t a big deal.
You look capable on the outside, but inside you’re constantly questioning whether you’re cut out for this work.
You feel pressure to be calm, insightful, and emotionally steady all the time — even when you’re overwhelmed too.
You notice yourself over-preparing, over-functioning, or trying to be the “good therapist” so no one sees how anxious you feel underneath.
It Makes Sense This Feels So Hard
Being a therapist can stir up so much more than clinical skill. It can activate the parts of you that are terrified of getting it wrong, the parts that feel responsible for everyone else, the parts that shut down around authority, and the parts that believe needing support means you’re somehow failing.
You might have one part that genuinely loves this work and another that leaves every session scanning for mistakes. One part may know that difficult feedback from a supervisor doesn’t define you, while another feels instantly ashamed, defensive, or panicked. None of that means you’re not cut out for this. It usually means something important is getting touched, and it deserves care, not more self-criticism.
What Therapy For The Therapist in NYC Can Help With
Make space for the part of you that is constantly scanning for mistakes, so you’re not always bracing or second-guessing yourself after every session
Understand what gets activated in you during supervision, feedback, conflict, or moments of uncertainty — and learn how to stay with yourself in those moments instead of spiraling or shutting down
Build a steadier internal sense of self-trust, where your clinical intuition and lived experience can start to feel more accessible and reliable
Learn how to resource yourself in the middle of the work — not just after the fact — so you’re not relying on exhaustion, overthinking, or over-preparing to get through your days
Feel more grounded in your “therapist part” while also staying connected to the rest of you, so the role doesn’t feel like something you have to step into or perform
Start noticing and following your own internal cues and sensations in session, rather than overriding them with self-doubt or “what I should be doing”
Have a place where you don’t have to be the one holding everything — where your experience can be met with care, steadiness, and room to exhale
This Isn’t About Becoming the Perfect Therapist
This work isn’t about helping you become the most regulated, insightful, self-assured therapist in every room. It’s not about getting rid of the parts of you that overthink, doubt yourself, shut down around authority, or worry you’re getting it wrong.
It’s about understanding those parts with more compassion, so they don’t have to run the whole show.
It’s about helping you feel more resourced in the moments that matter; when a session feels hard, when feedback stings, when you notice yourself spiraling after work, or when a part of you is convinced you should be handling all of this better by now.
Over time, therapy can become a place to build a steadier relationship with yourself as both a therapist and a person. A place where you can listen more closely to your own internal cues, trust your clinical instincts a little more, and feel less pulled to perform competence at the expense of your own experience.
Not because you need to become a perfect therapist. But because you deserve support, too.
Why I Love Working With Early-Career Therapists
There’s something so tender about being early in this work.
You care deeply. You want to do right by your clients. And at the same time, this stage can bring up so much — self-doubt, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, hard dynamics with supervisors, and the quiet pressure to always seem competent and steady.
I love working with early-career therapists because I know how much can get stirred up when you’re learning to hold space for others while still learning how to hold space for yourself. Parts of you may feel grounded and connected to the work, while other parts are bracing, overthinking, or wondering if you’re cut out for it at all.
You deserve a space where you don’t have to perform having it all together. A space where the parts of you that feel overwhelmed, ashamed, uncertain, or exhausted can soften a little — and where you can feel more supported in becoming your own kind of therapist, at your own pace.
Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Let’s create something meaningful together.
