“This was my first official in person therapy session as an adult, and I can honestly say it went better than I could have imagined. The space is beautiful and clean and very inviting.-
Yasmine is someone I hope to be able to continue the relationship with for a very long time. She was not only a wonderful listener, but she was able to assess how I was feeling as I was talking in a constructive and positive manner. I highly recommend working with her.”

“Yasmine is an exceptional therapist. She is thorough, compassionate and is constantly moving me forward in discovering and questioning my preexisting assumptions and fears. I have been in and out of therapy for a few decades and this is the first time I've been able to uncover my deepest issues and concerns. This work has helped me to develop my ability to make useful changes in the future.

It’s been so great to have a space where I can voice all the unheard thoughts and feelings in my head and my heart. Of course it’s not very comfortable to put words to such things that live so deep within us, that it becomes more comfortable to ignore them, or forget they are there. But Yasmine has made the experience of unearthing easier by showing me so much warmth and compassion that I am also able show myself a little more love and acceptance. This has been a therapy focused on creating a relationship that is positive and validative. It works really well for me and I really think it can work for others as well.

Yasmine’s approach to therapy is much more hands on than my previous experiences with therapists. She creates and open and comfortable space, free of judgment. While my past experiences involved me basically talking to a stranger with a blank stare, therapy with Yasmine feels more like an engaged conversation. She truly listens and gives feedback. It’s obvious that she loves her job. I would highly recommend her to anyone! She has been a major support through my darkest times, and I’m so thankful I found her.

I have recommended Yasmine to everyone I know who expresses an interest in seeing a therapist. She uses a variety of modalities that are incredibly effective and she is consistently attuned to how and when to introduce a different approach. I had had negative experiences in the past with semi-engaged therapists and was incredibly relieved to find in Yasmine a highly attentive, empathic and caring individual with a sense of humor to boot. I feel I owe a great deal of my stability to her presence in my life.

As a therapist Yasmine Alwan is a compassionate, insightful professional who has offered me invaluable guidance and support. I always feel that she's with me 100%, even toward the end of a long day. Our meetings are focused and goal-oriented -- often with a dash of humor. Yasmine does not hesitate to challenge me, gently yet constructively, in ways that can help clarify the discussion. And she will often surprise me with suggestions I had not considered. Whatever my state of mind at the start, I generally leave our sessions feeling more grounded and with something new to think about.
After a decade with several therapists, my experience with Yasmine Alwan has been special -- and very positive. I would not hesitate to recommend her services, whether in a clinic setting or private practice. And her offices in Manhattan are easy to access via public transportation.
