Chloe Ekstrom

I’m a licensed therapist with a Master’s in Social Work from New York University. I have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with eating disorders and related comorbid concerns, including anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Through our work together, my goal is to help you uncover the underlying causes of your struggles, untangle complex emotions, and build healthy coping strategies that empower you to lead a more fulfilling life. Whether you are seeking support for personal growth or managing specific mental health concerns, I am here to guide you in this journey toward healing and self-discovery.

My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy and understanding. I strive to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and valued, with a focus on making sure your feelings are always acknowledged. I take a direct yet patient approach, ensuring that we address your concerns thoughtfully while maintaining a sense of openness and curiosity. I also believe that humor, when appropriate, can be a helpful tool in making tough topics feel more approachable and lightening the mood when needed.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a space where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgment. I believe in meeting clients where they are, honoring their unique experiences, and offering guidance that fosters growth, healing, and self-compassion. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your emotions at your own pace. Above all, I view the relationship between therapist and client as foundational to the therapeutic process. You can always count on me to be on your team, actively supporting you as you work toward growth and positive change.

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we’ll focus on getting to know each other. I’ll ask questions to better understand who you are, what brings you to therapy, and what you're hoping to achieve through our work together. This session is an opportunity for you to share what’s important to you, and for me to learn more about your unique experiences, values, and goals. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable and heard, and where we can begin building a relationship that supports your growth and well-being.
