Libby Black, LMHC — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Libby!

I am here to support you in seeking a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to ensure our sessions align with your unique preferences and needs.

My focus

I'm here to help you reclaim your peace. I create a safe, compassionate space where you can be yourself. Together, we'll tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs, ensuring you feel heard and understood every step of the way.

My approach

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Existential Therapy modalities to tailor our work together.

My communication style

I work in a relationship with you, where you decide our focus, your goals, and planning, and I encourage you to make the best decisions to reach your fullest potential.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm genuinely interested in people, their lives, and their journeys. I actually love what I do, and giving back has been the most rewarding part of my journey.

My goals for you

Through self-exploration, discussion, and planning we develop a plan that works for you, your life, and your needs.

Our first session

I'm going to do a lot of listening, and then we'll decide where and how to get there.
