Getting to know Lily Dumas
*Please Expect a Phone Call from our Office - Resilience Therapy*
You trained for years to be the one who never let up. Now the drive that carried you is wearing you down, and you're not sure who you are when you're not performing. That's the work I do.
I'm a former Division I heptathlete from Brown with a background in cognitive neuroscience. I work with athletes and high achievers facing anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, body image struggles, and the identity shift that hits when sport or achievement stops being the whole story. We look at what's happening in your nervous system, not just your thoughts, so you can see why the old strategies quit working and build new ones you can trust.
Lily is a Mental Health Counselor-Limited Permit (MHC-LP) in New York, practicing under the clinical supervision of Alexis Sturnick, LCSW.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You don't need a plan before you show up. Plenty of people start with "I don't even know where to begin," and that's a fine place to start. I'm warm, and I'm direct. If the story you're telling yourself doesn't add up, I'll say so, kindly. I click with people who are used to pushing through: athletes current and retired, students under pressure, and anyone who's been the strong one for too long.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first sessions are about getting the lay of the land: what brought you in, what you've tried, and what you want to feel different. Then we set goals together. From there we track how your patterns show up in your body and your day, practice tools in real time, and work on self-compassion where it's hardest. I check in often about what's helping, and we change course when something isn't.

I started therapy after a big move and a breakup happened almost at the same time. Lily has helped me actually sit with the uncertainty instead of rushing to fix it, which is honestly what I needed. Still seeing her, and so glad I found someone perfect for me!

I started seeing Lily during a really rough patch with my substance use. She showed up with no lectures, no shame, but just sincere compassion and desire to help me figure out what was underneath. Can't recommend her enough

Lily has been invaluable. My recovery hasn't been linear, and she's never treated it like it should be. She's been patient, direct when I needed it, and never made me feel like a problem to be solved.

As a former college and lifelong athlete, I've had therapists who just didn't get why performance and identity have always been so intertwined for me. Lily did right away! She really got me, and we could get into the real stuff. It's made a huge difference.

I was honestly not sure therapy would help with how I feel, specifically about my body and relationship with food. A few months in, I've noticed the negative voice in my head so much less. Lily has been there to provide consistency, patience, and compassion
