Dr. Gottlieb is a NYS licensed clinical psychologist. As a helping professional she believes that each person is doing the best they can in any given moment and that therapy can help build on innate strength so that they can do more. Dr. Gottlieb approaches therapy through the lens that all people are whole and unbroken as they are. Therapy does not change people, rather it helps them to develop the skills they need to live in a way that is consistent with the life they want to live.

Tzippy works in with diverse populations in various settings, with a focus on adults in the Jewish community. She addresses anxiety, depression, self-esteem, self-confidence, specifically resulting from trauma and unhealthy relationships. When one has been in an abusive relationship it leaves negative effects. Whether you were hurt by a family member, friend, or partner, one usually feels confused, unsure, and alone. Throughout the therapeutic process, Tzippy helps clients recover by using a variety of techniques. This helps others build emotional stability, independence, and regulation, providing a strong sense of self and worth.

I am a Brooklyn-based clinical psychologist and I specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, as well as challenges related to identity, relationship/dating, family conflict, burnout, and life transitions. I am an active and engaged therapist, and my style is warm, accessible, humorous, and pragmatic. Together, we will work collaboratively to understand the “stuck points" and behavior patterns that contribute to your emotional suffering. My focus is primarily on the problems of today, with an eye for understanding how childhood experiences and past traumas shape our current struggles.

Are you caught between competing identities, beliefs, and desires? Are you struggling to heal from trauma, overcome despair, or maintain boundaries? Do you find yourself socially or politically misunderstood by those around you? Do you repeat the same unsatisfying patterns in work, friendship, and relationships? Together, we can explore all this in a curious, collaborative, non-judgmental way. All feelings and beliefs are welcome, no matter how confusing or contradictory they may seem at first. I believe that the best therapy is affirming yet challenging, and built on trust, joy, and humor. It's never too late to try.

I practice psychotherapy with a collaborative and integrative approach by curating evidence-based practices that work in accordance with each client’s needs and styles of treatment. Primarily, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Theory, Object Relations, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My approach is strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I passionately work with clients to create a judgment-free space that, over time, becomes a haven for discussing intimate or traditionally taboo subjects.

I moved to Seattle in 2017 after spending the previous ten years on the East Coast in New York City and Washington, DC. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska as a Jewish gay kid who always felt “out of place” in a community where these identities were largely invisible. I also lost my mother to cancer at the tender age of 16 while attempting to accept my gay identity. As a therapist, these experiences have helped me develop resiliency and to better understand how oppressive systems can create feelings of loneliness, isolation, despair, and hopelessness.

I am a warm and caring postdoctoral psychologist working with adolescents and adults coping with anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, various mood disorders, school, work, parenting, and relationship challenges, as well as severe trauma. Additionally, I also work with those living with complex medical issues. As a mother, I also have a particular interest in women’s mental health as well as the challenges on the journey towards and within parenthood. I work with diverse populations and provide culturally-responsive therapy regardless of culture, ethnicity, religion, ability, socioeconomic status, gender or sexual orientation.

Hi, my name’s Nicholas (he/they), and I’m a Latinx, Middle Eastern, Jewish, and queer psychotherapist in NYC. My multicultural upbringing, experiences with immigration, and growing up in a low-income household have not only inspired me to help people who are marginalized because of how they identify, but also those who experience systematic violence. Through diverse lived and clinical experiences, I'm able to help you discover your inner thoughts surrounding identities, relationships, and social issues that affect how you show up in the world.

People often struggle with negative, self-defeating thoughts - often ones that they know are not completely true, yet nevertheless feel true. Many of my clients come to me because they want to make changes in their life - at work, school, or with family - but they feel trapped because of these negative thoughts. These thoughts can lead to excessive guilt, hopelessness, and indecision. As a therapist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, I am committed to working together with you in helping you get unstuck.

I am deeply committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's most painful journeys and realizations. I believe each person's story is unique, and I tailor my approach to create a safe, supportive space where you can uncover your strengths, explore your goals, desires, dreams, and fantasies, resolve conflicts, and foster growth. Together, we'll explore the intricate dynamics of your true self, whom you most want to be, complex relationships, and develop strategies to cultivate deeper connections, emotional resilience, and pride.

There are a number of credentials I could share about myself and ways you might decide if I'm the right therapist for you, but honestly, between you and me, what matters is that I love this work. I use theories rooted in an anti-racist, queer liberation, harm reduction, and body-neutral framework. I feel most drawn to this work through an attachment-focused analytical frame. We have all been harmed in relationships, and I believe our healing must also exist in relationships. I know we cannot look at one's personal frame without understanding the systemic and cultural impact that intersectionality has had on one's own experience.

I believe the therapeutic relationship can be both healing and empowering. I use a person centered, strengths-based approach to help each person best reach their goals. Together we create a warm, safe, and genuine space that each person can use to gain self-awareness and feel supported. We work to eliminate distress and facilitate personal growth to help the client reach their individual goals. Throughout this process, I place great importance on understanding the impact of a person’s identity, culture, and environment to best support them. I also believe collaboration, creativity, and humor are essential to the process!

Struggling with intrusive thoughts, downward spirals, lack of motivation, effects of trauma or feeling invalidated? Playing those “what if” scenarios again and again in your head? If you’re seeking an authentic, empathetic connection to overcome challenges around anxiety, trauma, depression, or identity issues then I am here for you. As a passionate therapist, I strive to understand your needs, whether you're a child, teenager, or young adult. Through evidence-based treatments, I'll provide you with the right tools to help you reduce worries and symptoms, while helping you achieve your life long goals!

Are you looking for the kind of therapeutic work that efficiently gets to the core of what's going on for you, and powerfully facilitates lasting, holistic healing, change, and transformation? With almost ten years of counseling experience, my work is holistic-depth work. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, which is a powerful and transformative evidence-based model of psychotherapy, as well as mind-body psychosomatic therapies, couples counseling, Jewish mysticism, and Jungian depth psychotherapy.
