Irit Maor, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Irit!

My role is to create a supportive and compassionate environment where clients feel heard, understood, and accepted. I utilize an eclectic approach that integrates psychodynamic, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Schema therapy.

My focus

I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, divorce, marital and premarital issues, parenting challenges, and relationship issues. My client-centered approach creates a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings openly while developing stronger coping skills.

My approach

My therapeutic approach integrates psychodynamic, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Schema Therapy, supplemented by mindfulness techniques and expressive art therapy. This holistic approach addresses your needs comprehensively, promoting self-awareness, acceptance, and emotional healing.

My communication style

My therapeutic approach is open, direct, and non-judgmental, with an interactive style that allows for flexibility to adjust to your needs. You can expect a warm and welcoming environment where your voice is heard and your strengths are recognized.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist has been fueled by a passion for personal growth, introspection, and a genuine commitment to supporting others through life's challenges. Witnessing the profound impact therapy can have on individuals' well-being deeply inspired me.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting through a collaborative process. We begin by establishing trust and rapport, followed by assessing your background and aspirations. I encourage you to actively participate in defining your goals and breaking them down into actionable steps.

Our first session

In your first session, expect a warm and welcoming environment where we'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and set goals collaboratively. You'll have the opportunity to share openly, and together, we'll establish a plan for future sessions that prioritizes your needs and recognizes your strengths.
