Hi, I’m Ilana, a trauma-informed, attachment-focused IFS therapist based in New York City and licensed in both New York and New Jersey. Therapy with me feels like a real conversation: warm, curious, and collaborative, a space where you can finally take a breath. No silent nods or blank stares; just two humans exploring what it means to feel safe, seen, and understood. Together we slow down and listen to the parts of you that have been holding it all together. My style blends humor, mindfulness, and practical insight so you can move from self-criticism toward genuine self-trust and connection.
I draw from attachment theory, IFS, Gottman Method, and somatic mindfulness to help you understand your patterns and build secure, deep relationships, both with yourself and with others. This process builds the inner security that lets you stay connected to yourself, even when things feel uncertain, and to others, even when it feels vulnerable.
Therapy is a space to come back to yourself. Together we make room for your thoughts, your body, and your emotions to meet in one place. I offer sessions in person in Midtown Manhattan and online, helping you reconnect with your Self and move through life with more steadiness and ease.
