Getting to know Dr. Shoshana Linzer
If you are seeking therapy, it's likely that something in your life is no longer working for you. Whether it's your relationships, work-life balance, or how you've been feeling about yourself, there's no need to stay stuck. My role is to help you better understand yourself, your history, and the patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be unconsciously playing out in your life.
Because every person is unique, my goal as your therapist is for us to understand you as a whole person and explore what you are searching for both from therapy and in your life. I consider the relationship between client and therapist one of the most important aspects of treatment, so I work to create an open and non-judgmental environment where we can check in about your experience. I believe therapy is a crucial balance between doing deep work to gain insight into yourself while also pushing for real change.
I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Yeshiva University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support you effectively on your journey toward growth and healing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the states of New York and Florida. I earned my Doctorate in clinical psychology at Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, PsyD program. As a therapist, I draw on contemporary psychodynamic theory and relational techniques, while pulling from CBT, DBT and mindfulness approaches when useful. My approach is not one-size-fits-all, as we strive to reduce immediate distress while creating space for long-term change.
My training has been with adults of all ages, and from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. I have worked at a range of institutions across New York, including Brooklyn College Counseling, New York Presbyterian Inpatient & Partial Hospitalization Program Eating Disorder Division, and the National Institute for the Psychotherapies. I have unique research experience in depression, personality pathology, and emotion regulation in older adulthood, and participated in a DBT clinical trial for veterans involved in the justice system. I completed both my pre-doctoral internship and post-doctoral training at the Karen Horney Clinic.
I have a specific interest in working with people to better understand their different personal and cultural identities and how they intersect, as well as the ways in which they may be creating unwanted conflict. I have worked with many first- and second-generation immigrants, and people from maybe different spiritual and religious backgrounds.

More information on payments and coverage
I am an In-Network provider with Northwell Direct Tier 1 plans.
We provide out-of-network billing support for reimbursement for all other clients.
If we are not in-network with your plan we will work to get you significant reimbursement for the cost of your sessions. We submit claims on behalf of our patients so that you don’t have to deal with your insurance company.
Here’s how works. Before you start therapy we will collect your insurance information, check your insurance benefits, provide you with an estimate of those benefits, and then allow you to make the most educated decision possible about your investment in therapy.
If you decide to work with us, we will submit your insurance claims every week and give you access to the portal to check the status of the reimbursements. It is our goal to always remain transparent and to make the process of insurance reimbursements as clear as possible.
