Getting to know Esther Volivetska
I am a skilled and compassionate Licensed Psychoanalyst and Gestalt Therapist, practicing in New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ), and Vermont (VT). I see clients in person in New York City and offer virtual counseling sessions across all three states.
My integrative therapeutic approach combines psychoanalysis, Gestalt therapy, somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychosomatic methods. I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship issues, parenting challenges, stress, and major life transitions. Together, we work to uncover emotional patterns, develop body awareness, and strengthen your capacity for connection, resilience, and self-understanding.
I earned my Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Gestalt Center for Psychotherapy and Training in New York City. My background also includes years of study in somatic practices, yoga philosophy, and mindfulness, which deeply inform my work. Being fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian enables me to connect with clients from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
In my sessions, I focus on helping you feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe that real healing happens through authentic human connection—when you feel safe enough to explore your inner world and begin transforming long-held patterns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented, grounded in respect, empathy, and curiosity about each person’s unique experience.
I provide a safe and confidential space for individuals and couples to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without judgment. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, processing past trauma, navigating relationship conflict, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I will meet you where you are—with compassion, honesty, and care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Working with me is a collaborative and compassionate process that helps you reconnect with your authentic self. As a Licensed Psychoanalyst and Gestalt Therapist practicing in New York, New Jersey, and Vermont, I offer both in-person therapy in New York City and online counseling sessions across all three states.
My integrative approach combines psychoanalysis, Gestalt therapy, somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychosomatic methods. Together, we explore how your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations interact—helping you release old patterns, heal past wounds, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
Clients who come to me often seek support for anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, depression, and stress. You can expect sessions that are warm, safe, and deeply attuned, where you are listened to without judgment and guided with empathy and curiosity. I pay attention not just to what you say but to how your body responds—because healing happens when the mind and body are aligned.
Therapy with me is not about quick fixes. It’s a meaningful journey toward self-awareness, emotional balance, and long-term well-being.
