Getting to know Ilana Steinmetz
Hi there! I work with clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, and chronic illness, tailoring our work together to what matters most to you. I specialize in psychodynamic therapy, integrated with person-centered, CBT, mindfulness, DBT, and ACT approaches.
Having lived with Type 1 Diabetes for over two decades, I bring both clinical training and personal understanding to conversations about chronic illness. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel safe exploring your concerns, at whatever pace feels right for you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Our sessions will feel more like a real conversation rather than an interview. I don't come in with a rigid script; instead, I follow what's most relevant for you at the moment. I draw primarily on a psychodynamic approach, pulling in CBT, mindfulness, DBT, ACT, or other tools when they're genuinely useful, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.
You can expect warmth and curiosity from me, along with honest, direct reflection. I won't rush you toward conclusions either; we'll build understanding together, at whatever pace feels right for you. There's no pressure to have things figured out before we start, and no "right" way to show up to a session.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, I'll spend time getting to know you: what's bringing you in, relevant history, and what you're hoping therapy can offer. This will help us start shaping goals together. From there, sessions are primarily talk therapy: we'll follow what's coming up for you day to day, while I stay attuned to deeper patterns and relational themes through a psychodynamic lens.
Depending on what's most helpful in the moment, I'll also bring in concrete tools to address specific symptoms or build coping strategies. I check in regularly on how therapy is going and adjust our approach as your needs shift, so the process stays collaborative rather than fixed from day one.
