Therapists in East Village, New York, NY

I believe that people come to therapy because they want to change their life for the better. I work with individuals to lighten sadness, grief or anxiety, or to gain a greater understanding of one's self. I believe that the root causes of difficulty are developmental or situational, circumstantial, or a trauma. I strive to provide a non-judgmental, nurturing, safe space to explore insights, strengths and challenges. I specialize with multi-cultural and multi-racial adults, expatriates, those in multi-racial relationships, and those struggling with anxiety, depression, personality disorders and addiction.

Hi! My name is Allison Steinberg and I’m a LCSW psychotherapist in New York. I received my Master of Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work. I have extensive experience with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life changes/transitions, grief and loss, bullying, and work/school difficulties. I’m skilled in children, teens, young adults (20s and 30s), and adults.

My initial goal is to alleviate suffering associated with depression and anxiety. I provide a safe psychotherapy environment, allowing for exploration of problems, and leading to change. I bring integrity, compassion and flexibility to my work, and have a direct, warm style. If we work together, you can expect to gain a better understanding of yourself and of meaningful people in your life. Consequently, you will be able to identify and move out of areas in which you feel stuck, and become freer to enjoy life.

I am a New York State licensed and board-certified creative art therapist providing treatment for young people and adults. My approach is strength based, client centered and deeply grounded in the restorative power of the creative process. A strong therapeutic alliance fostered through trust, understanding and collaboration is essential in cultivating positive change. I deeply value the use of art making to facilitate authentic self-expression, increase self-awareness, and promote self-acceptance. “Art is a way of recognizing oneself...” -Louise Bourgeois

I am a Columbia University trained clinical psychologist who specializes in individual and couples therapy in Manhattan. I believe that every client is unique and their treatment should be, too.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are seeking support for depression, anxiety, college adjustment, life transitions, sexuality/identity, stress management, relationship difficulties, and trauma.

Therapy offers you a place to feel seen, heard, and accepted so that you can understand yourself differently and move closer to the life you desire. I practice psychotherapy in the belief that flourishing in the face of past traumas and present challenges is possible. Despite the uncertainty of our current world, working with a therapist you trust can restore hope, instill calm, and imbue life with new meaning.

Do you feel hopeless or overwhelmed by the uncertainty of your future? Do you isolate yourself from social activities? Do you anticipate negative consequences as a way of managing your anxiety? Are you drinking too much or using drugs? Are you experiencing a lack of, or an increase in sexual energy that is affecting your life in a negative way? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I am here to help. We will work closely in order to explore your inner world, and apply words to your past and current experiences. As a result, you will begin to feel better. I work with psychoanalytic theory while incorporating issues of race,

I feel I am authentic, sensitive, warm, friendly, down-to-earth and, funny when appropriate. My inquisitive nature allows me to be a good listener. I take an approach of offering authority without being authoritarian. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to learn how to get more from life. By joining with a competent professional you can process those areas of your life that seem "stuck", overwhelming, or just bugging you. Part of our work involves learning to solve problems. We will stay focused on your goal(s) to make sure you achieve them.

Therapy is your dedicated sanctuary- space where you can pause and focus on the aspects of your life that warrant attention and care. As a therapist, my role is to assist you in identifying their goals and fostering positive changes with empathy and understanding. Whether you're seeking to improve stress management techniques or gain deeper insights into challenging emotions, I provide tailored treatments for various concerns including anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, bicultural challenges, racial concerns, sexual orientation, family dynamics, and work related stressors.

Maybe you're unsure of what is bothering you, but are aware that something isn’t working for you anymore. Perhaps you're supportive and patient with others, but are self-critical, high-achieving, and set unrealistic expectations for yourself. Maybe you're tired of worrying all the time or feeling stuck in cycles of thinking about the same things. Until now, you've likely been pushing yourself to cope with what you’ve been feeling on your own. If you tend to prioritize others, you may be hoping to learn how to set healthy boundaries and communicate assertively, so you can better tend to your own needs.

FREE consultations! Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? Are you hoping to build more meaning and joy in your life? You may feel hesitant about reaching out for help, especially with pressure from all directions to "have it all together". I'm here to join you on this journey to discover healing and build a balanced life. My goal is to help you find compassion for yourself, develop skills to help you navigate life stressors, and be confident in the resilient person you are.

My group practice specializes in the treatment of trauma spectrum disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorders, trauma-related pain, and trauma-related somatic symptoms. Ongoing experiences of verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, neglect, and bullying can lead to these symptoms. Sometimes people suffer these effects because they have experienced chronic invalidation. We treat couples, people in non-traditional partnerships, and adolescents who struggle with emotional and behavioral problems. We also treat survivors of sexual violence and targets of workplace bullying.

Sometimes on this journey of life, we get in our own way and aren't ready to change until things get hairy! This can translate into a mindset or habit that no longer serves us. Does it seem like no matter how hard you try, there's a feeling of doom and gloom? Maybe you excel in one area of life but feel like you're far behind in another. Maybe there are personal goals that seem unobtainable due to feeling stuck. I have helped Clients get to the other side of the progress they want to see. Whether you're in the pre-contemplative or the action phase of change, I provide guidance and support while holding you accountable to your goals.

In my 25 years of experience, I’ve developed a unique and highly effective method that produces clear and noticeable changes within 1-3 sessions. You will know right away if my approach is working for you, because you’ll start to feel better, calmer, happier. I use techniques from a variety of sources including (but not limited to) energy psychology, gestalt therapy, and mindfulness meditation.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting process. I believe it is important to feel at ease in order to do the work therapy entails. I provide a comfortable, down-to-earth environment that will allow you to develop insight, find more choices in your life, and to build self confidence. I have advanced training in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, however unlike classical analysis I do not act as a blank screen and have a contemporary approach. I provide feedback and believe in mutual collaboration between patient and therapist.
