Emily Kessler, LCSW

Psychotherapist
1178 Broadway, 3rd Floor, New York, NY
Sometimes life feels like you're stuck in the same cycles — the same relationship dynamics, the same stress responses, the same habits — even when you really want things to be different. If that resonates, you're in the right place. I'm a licensed clinical social worker and I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My style is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you — I draw on a mix of approaches including psychodynamic, cognitive, and behavioral techniques, which just means we figure out together what actually works for you rather than following a rigid formula. In our work together, we'll explore what's been getting in your way, uncover patterns that may have made sense at one point but aren't serving you anymore, and reconnect you with strengths you might not even realize you have. Change is possible — and you don't have to figure it out alone. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a lecture. This is your space, your pace, and your process. I'm just here to help you move through it.
