Hello! I'm a licensed therapist in Manhattan, seeing clients in person and online. Many of the people I work with are artists and early-career professionals navigating relationships, processing trauma, or struggling with low self-esteem.

The therapeutic process has the ability to transform. This happens through partnering together within a caring and empathic environment. We will then fully explore your thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns that may not be serving you well. This results in new ways of thinking, feeling and being. We will work towards illuminating your understanding of what you truly want to create for your life.

Hello, My name is Elizabeth Chery. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of clinical experience. I have experience working with various individuals who face anxiety, depression, grief, loss, self-esteem, addiction, relationship concerns, and other life experiences. I utilize different therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I truly believe that treatment is for everyone, but not every therapist is for every client.

I work with all ages, but specialize in children, adolescents and young adults. My approach is eclectic, grounded in a psychodynamic orientation that utilizes a variety of tools, tailored to individual needs. My clients and I work toward goals in a non-judgmental atmosphere of empathy and understanding. Some issues I have been able to help people with are: relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, self esteem, parenting, childhood issues such as separation anxiety, behavior and school problems, ADD, adoption, and divorce. I also have experience with artists and the issues they face. Therapy makes positive change!

I have been fortunate to be practicing psychotherapy for over 30 years, bringing a wide variety of experience, education and training to my work. I approach the process as a collaboration. I work with individuals and couples with a variety of challenges: within their relationships, and with anxiety, anger, depression, sexuality, identity, trauma, inhibition, eating disorders, addictions, and other self-harming behaviors. My initial goal is to identify problem areas- patterns of reacting and behaving with family, friends, work and our selves that are frustrating and ungratifying, ones that get in the way of our well-being.

Starting motherhood is exciting and challenging. Sometimes, you feel joyful and contented. Other times, you don't feel like yourself. You lose your temper for tiny things; you hate your postpartum body and cannot stand to look at yourself in the mirror; you feel guilty when you prioritize your needs and doubt if you can be a good mom. From a psychological view, I think all those thoughts are understandable because your body, career, relationships, and personal identity are all affected by your new role as a mother. Some unresolved psychological issues (such as attachment issues) you carry along can also get triggered under stress.

I specialize in helping people with anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions. You might worry a lot or have uncomfortable physical symptoms of anxiety. Maybe you have a hard time making decisions, or are plagued by perfectionism. Perhaps you have social anxiety or low self-esteem. You might have intense fears or excessive checking behaviors. You may have difficulty sleeping. Maybe you feel blue or empty. You might be dealing with work stress, relationship problems, a loss, breakup, or other life changes. Therapy can help you deal with these difficulties and can help you grow as a person.
