“I have never felt so relieved and hopeful as I did after my first session with Eva. I had been avoiding going to therapy for a long time and was still scared to start but she made it easy and really feel like things will start to get better now. ”

“I came to therapy exhausted from always being the strong one. Eva helped me see that rest and boundaries are essential, not optional. I feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to myself.”

Getting to know Eva Simpson-Abrams
Eva Simpson-Abrams, LCAT, MT-BC, is a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Board-Certified Music Therapist based in New York. She specializes in helping teens, college students, and young adults navigate anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, and identity-related challenges.
Eva’s approach is trauma-informed, relational, and evidence-based, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, mindfulness, and psychodynamic frameworks. She also integrates creative and somatic practices to support emotional expression, self-awareness, and resilience.
Clients describe Eva as warm, affirming, and empowering. Her goal is to create a space where you feel understood and equipped with practical tools to move through life’s transitions with greater confidence and self-compassion.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You can expect a collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we focus on your goals at a pace that feels right for you. I believe therapy works best when it’s both reflective and actionable, helping you understand your emotions and patterns while building real-world coping strategies.
Whether you’re adjusting to college life, managing chronic stress, or processing past experiences, I’ll meet you with curiosity and care. My approach honors your individuality and values, and I tailor sessions to fit what feels most helpful for your growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first few sessions, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy and identify what you’d like to change or strengthen. From there, I’ll help you connect patterns between your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, while introducing tools to manage stress and regulate your emotions.
Sessions often balance reflection with skill-building, grounded in CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques. For clients interested in creative expression, I may incorporate elements of music or art therapy to deepen insight and healing. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling more grounded, self-aware, and supported in your next steps.

I have never felt so relieved and hopeful as I did after my first session with Eva. I had been avoiding going to therapy for a long time and was still scared to start but she made it easy and really feel like things will start to get better now.

Eva created a space where I didn’t feel the need to hold everything together. I’ve learned how to slow down, check in with my body, and manage stress in a way that actually lasts. I finally feel grounded again.

I used to hide parts of myself to keep the peace. Eva helped me understand where that came from and build compassion instead of shame. I’m more grounded and authentic in my relationships now.

Before therapy, I felt like I was on autopilot—successful but constantly tense. Eva helped me notice what was happening beneath the surface and slow down enough to actually feel. I’ve learned how to manage my stress and anxiety instead of letting them manage me.

After trauma, I felt disconnected from my emotions. Eva’s grounding, gentle approach helped me rebuild trust in my body and find steady calm again. I finally feel like myself.

Working with Eva helped me finally understand my anxiety instead of fighting it. I used to replay every conversation in my head, wondering if I’d said the wrong thing. Eva taught me grounding and self-compassion tools that make it easier to calm my thoughts and show up as myself. I’m not trying to be perfect anymore—I’m learning to just be present.

Eva created a space where I didn’t have to explain or edit parts of myself. I came to therapy feeling like I was always chasing approval and never resting. Through our work, I learned how to slow down, listen to my body, and respond with more compassion instead of judgment. I finally feel like I can succeed without losing myself in the process.

Before working with Eva, I didn’t realize how disconnected I’d become, from my emotions, my body, even from things I used to enjoy. Therapy with her didn’t feel like pressure or performance. She helped me slow down, actually notice what I was feeling, and understand how much of my anxiety came from pushing myself too hard. Over time, I started sleeping better, setting boundaries at work, and feeling more like myself. It wasn’t about fixing who I was, it was about remembering I already had what I needed.
