"You have the power to profoundly change your life."

Are you feeling stuck and looking to make changes in your life? Do you struggle to identify your feelings or name your needs? Perhaps you have noticed patterns in your relationships that are no longer serving you. Maybe you feel that something is in the way of living the type of life you desire.

Therapy can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. It can also help you shed light on patterns that may be holding you back. Together, we will create a safe and comfortable space for exploration and insight.

Meet Dr. Emily Stephen, Psy.D,
Psychologist + Post-Doctoral Fellow

I am a pre-licensed psychologist based in New York City, serving adults, adolescents, and children with a variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, loss, phase-of-life transitions, and relationship concerns.

I use an integrative and individualized approach to my work, incorporating elements from psychodynamic, multicultural, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relational frameworks.

I believe that your relationship with your therapist can help you develop a deeper and more nuanced understanding of yourself. My clients often describe our sessions as a place where they can exhale, reflect, and feel supported without judgment.

Together, we will work toward:

  • Gaining insight into patterns in your life – both those that are serving you and those that are no longer working
  • Striving to understand your current emotions
  • Building awareness of relationship dynamics that contribute to your concerns
  • Explore active solutions

If this resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out today to schedule a free 30 minute consultation.

MY THERAPY STYLE

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to learn about themselves and want to make changes. I enjoy working with folks who have had years of therapy but I also love introducing clients to therapy and providing their first therapeutic experience.

Becoming a therapist felt like a clear choice for me. I have always enjoyed connecting with others on a deep level and I value the opportunity to form meaningful relationships. I have always been fascinated with people and it’s such a privilege to sit with others and be with them on their journeys.

You are in the driver’s seat in therapy. This is your experience, your life, and your time. We will go at your pace and I will follow your lead. I will be there to support you and offer another perspective. We will form a relationship over time and together we will create a foundation of trust and safety.

It is such a privilege to be there as someone gets to know themselves better. The therapeutic process is a beautiful thing! Being there to support and encourage you as you start the process and then sharing in the growth and transformation you’ve experienced by the end of our work together is a true honor.
