Delilah Ellenberg, MSW

Psychotherapist
NY
My fourth day of high school was September 11th, 2001, and I watched the World Trade Center attacks happen from just blocks away. In the weeks that followed, my school brought in social workers and therapists to help us process what we’d experienced. I watched these adults create space for grief, confusion and healing in real time, and seeing the impact of that support stayed with me. I’m Delilah, and if I had to describe my therapy style, I’d say it’s like what Marie Kondo talks about in The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. You hold each item and ask: does this spark joy? If yes, keep it. If not, thank it and let it go. Life works the same way. Part of therapy is helping you figure out what relationships, habits or beliefs in your life are uplifting you and what is weighing you down. Together, we explore what brings joy, what aligns with your values, and what you might let go of so you can craft a life that feels authentic and meaningful.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapists aren’t just cheerleaders who agree with you no matter what. While validation matters, meaningful change also requires honesty and a willingness to explore areas where growth is needed. I balance warmth with directness because I want you to feel both supported and challenged. My approach focuses on helping you recognize what I call your “perfect imperfections” – the patterns and vulnerabilities that make you human while also pointing toward opportunities for change. Rather than avoiding discomfort, I help you safely sit with it and use it as a pathway toward growth. Adolescents are my “jam.” I spent several years working in high schools and feel very comfortable with this population. I work with teens navigating identity formation, peer relationships, academic pressure, and emotional regulation. One high school student I worked with who was struggling with depression told me at the end of our time together that our work had “helped heal” her and she finally felt comfortable standing on her own. Those moments are why I do this work.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

If you’re hesitant about starting therapy, know that growth often begins in moments that feel uncomfortable. Over time, you’ll find greater peace and self-trust, not because you become someone different, but because you learn to fully believe in who you already are.
