Getting to know Ilana Yakobson-Lopez

?Nothing is impossible; the word itself says I'm possible.? I believe with the right support, this motto can apply to us all! With over 20 years of social service experience in NYC, in both clinical and administrative practice, I have been fortunate to work with various populations in areas of mental health education and counseling, program management, and supervision. I received my Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University with a concentration in Clinical Practice. I am also SIFI certified and have supervised other master-level interns at various field placements. My approach to therapy is client-centered, with an emphasis on emotional support and acceptance. I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, and ADHD. In addition, I have supported clients struggling with family and relationship issues and other life changes. I believe that trust, empathy, and empowerment are essential in building relationships and fostering client growth. I am passionate about destigmatizing mental illness and improving accessibility for all ethnic groups. In my spare time, I enjoy participating in various fitness classes, traveling, dining, and spending time making memories with my friends and family.

Ongoing session: $150 for 50 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

Very nice approach by the Doctor for our first visit. Made me feel comfortable talking with her and explaining what was going on with me. Listened to what I had to say and worked with me to suggest paths to take and ways to get there. Looking forward to continuing with her.

I recently changed insurance and was nervous about finding a new therapist who had the same level of compassion and understanding as my previous one. Sometimes things have a funny way of working out. I have only had one session with Ilana and i can already say that she is incredible and I'm really looking forward to continuing to work with her
