Aliza Romirowsky

I am a warm and empathic licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Yeshiva University and over 10 years of training and experience in and around New York City, including internship and fellowship at Zucker Hillside Hospital. I work with adults both younger and older in individual psychotherapy. Whether you are facing challenges coping with life transitions and major stressors, or struggling with low mood, depression, anxiety, overwhelm, relationship conflict, feelings of shame, guilt, confusion, or difficulty finding personal meaning, I can help you. I’ve worked with clients who are struggling with conflict in their families, at work, or in their social circles, as well as those navigating grief and loss, perinatal and reproductive issues, and adjustment to challenging life stages such as early adulthood, retirement, and parenthood. I want you to know that no matter the struggle, pain, or challenge you are facing, you do not need to walk this path alone.

In our work together, we will draw upon tools from psychodynamic, behavioral and compassion-focused approaches in order to fashion a treatment that is most effective for your unique needs. It is my highest priority to create a therapeutic space that fosters trust and mutual respect between us. Our work will be interactive and collaborative. I welcome feedback and honesty and will provide that to you in return. We will strive to cultivate compassion and a recognition of our shared humanity. Sometimes we will delve into your past to gain a greater understanding of ways that your history impacts your present functioning. Other times we will focus on immediate challenges.

In our first session, I invite you to share your story with me at your own pace. Together, we will discuss the current struggles you are facing while I listen with curiosity and empathy to help understand your inner world. Our time together is a collaborative space where we will:

-Identify your primary goals for seeking support right now.

-Explore how therapy can specifically help you navigate these challenges.

-Address any questions you have so you can feel confident and comfortable with the process.

I look forward to getting to know you and beginning this journey together.
