Getting to know Dr. Maytal Shalev-Eylath
Maybe you have a good sense of what’s happening, yet still find yourself repeating the same patterns. You understand your reactions, perhaps even know what you “should” do, but in the moments that matter, something takes over. Anxiety, self-criticism, old wounds, or familiar ways of relating can keep pulling you back.
I know this experience personally. I came to therapy hoping to escape my feelings, only to discover the power of honoring them. That experience deeply shaped the way I work today. I don’t believe therapy is simply about getting rid of difficult emotions or learning to manage them. Instead, we become curious about what lies beneath your reactions and create opportunities to respond differently.
My approach is integrative and experiential. I draw from IFS, somatic, mindfulness, compassion-based, and attachment approaches, informed by neuroscience. Our work goes beyond insight: we’ll pay attention to what unfolds in your thoughts, emotions, and body, allowing us to work with patterns as they emerge rather than only talking about them afterward.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and genuine engagement to our work. Therapy with me is active and collaborative. I’ll meet you with compassion while also gently challenging you when needed, as we work toward greater freedom and choice in how you relate to yourself and respond to what life brings.
I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology and bring over 15 years of clinical experience working with teens and adults.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with adults and older teens experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and a range of emotional and relational difficulties. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who may appear to be doing well while internally struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or a harsh inner critic. Others find that past experiences continue to shape how they feel about themselves, relate to others, or move through the world.
Some of the areas I commonly work with include:
• Anxiety and chronic worry
• Depression
• Trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma
• OCD and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
• Body image concerns
• Emotional regulation
• Self-criticism, self-esteem, and perfectionism
• Relationship and attachment difficulties
• Stress and burnout
• Grief and loss
• Life transitions
You can expect me to be warm, engaged, and active in our work together. I won’t simply sit back and listen, I’ll ask questions, offer reflections, and gently challenge you when it may be helpful. At the same time, we’ll move at a pace that respects your experience and what feels possible for you.
If you request an appointment through Zocdoc, I’ll reach out to confirm and discuss next steps.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Therapy with me is collaborative and responsive rather than following a fixed sequence. We’ll begin by getting to know you, what brings you to therapy, what feels difficult right now, what has shaped you, and what you hope might be different. Together, we’ll develop a sense of where you’d like to focus our work.
As therapy unfolds, we’ll become curious about the patterns and reactions that show up in your life and in the room with us. Sometimes we’ll explore where they came from; other times, we may slow down and pay attention to what is happening in the present moment—in your thoughts, emotions, body, or different parts of yourself.
Our work goes beyond understanding why you respond the way you do. We’ll also create opportunities to relate differently to difficult emotions and practice new ways of responding as they emerge. Depending on your needs, this may include IFS, somatic work, mindfulness, self-compassion, attachment-based exploration, or practical strategies you can use outside of sessions.
Along the way, we’ll continue to check in about what is helping, what isn’t, and where our work needs to go next. Therapy may be shorter- or longer-term depending on your needs, and we’ll make those decisions together.
