Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis in NYC

Psychotherapy is one of the best investments you can make in yourself.

Psychotherapy is a process that allows people to tap into their innate potential for growth by putting words to their internal thoughts and feelings. You might be coming to therapy feeling stuck or stagnated. My role is to facilitate a supportive environment where clarity and self knowledge can unfold. Exploring your experience in a dialogue with someone who is trained to listen without preconceived notions and who helps by asking meaningful questions can generate an improved sense of connection and wellbeing. Following your lead, I'll work collaboratively with you to better understand and address the specific difficulties you face.

Julia L. Pressman, LCSW
NYC Psychotherapist

As a seasoned psychotherapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals unlock their innate potential for personal growth and navigate through life's challenges. Drawing upon my training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, I specialize in helping individuals articulate complex feelings and develop a deeper self-awareness.

Using an individualized and dynamic approach that's tailored to you, we’ll work collaboratively, exploring your present and pressing concerns. As unresolved issues or overlooked emotional needs may surface in the therapeutic process, working alongside you I’ll attend to whatever arises in our conversations with curiosity and compassion. This process can be challenging, but the rewards are immense.

As your therapist, my role is to be attuned to you as we work together in pursuit of your learning about yourself more deeply. I aim to create a space where you can feel comfortable saying whatever comes to mind without pressure or judgement. My approach, informed by psychodynamic and psychoanalytic thinking, is warm and interactive. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life who have decided to make New York City their home (such as young professionals, entrepreneurs, expats, students and more).
