Eating Disorders Therapists in New York, NY

We are all trying to adjust to the effects of COVID19, such as increased anxiety and feelings of isolation. I welcome a wide range of clients and specialize in three diverse areas: people working in business, people struggling with eating disorders and couples counseling. I worked in finance prior to my training as a psychotherapist and understand the particular pressures that are brought to bare in the demanding arena of business. Some areas I focus on improving are communication skills, self criticalness, stress management and reconciling the continuous need to balance personal and professional life.

I have a generic private practice, but specialize in couple therapy and eating disorders. I also treat self-esteem issues, relationship issues, divorce, depression and anxiety. My experience spans over 35 years. I am passionate about what I do and eager to help those who want to find ''their highest potential!" I enjoy working with individuals from 16-80! Come take a leap into the world of emotional growth...

Struggling with an eating disorder can consume a person's life, something that I know firsthand. Eating disorders are about complex issues — “everything else in life” other than the food — and they are a way of coping with what we are unable to express through words. My recovery fueled my desire to work with others who seek to recover. I encourage my clients to use a creative, curious approach to explore their life stories to better understand themselves, connect with their strengths and resilience, and make meaningful change. My work is collaborative and supportive, emphasizing emotional healing and personal growth.

I view each client as an individual who deserves respect, empathy, and support. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel seen and heard in a genuine way. Through a trusting therapeutic relationship, you can connect deeply and authentically to all parts of yourself. I bring warmth, compassion, and insight, offering a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental environment.

Making the decision to start therapy can feel overwhelming, but taking this first step is the most difficult part of it all. My name is Sibel and I am a counselor who believes in leading with empathy and compassion, with the hope of fostering a non-judgmental and productive environment for you. I am a culturally competent counselor with experience working with adults of all ages facing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, LGBTQIA+ related-stress, life transitions and more. Collaboratively, we will work together to create and achieve your goals at a pace that is comfortable for you.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience treating all genders who struggle with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, narcissistic abuse, divorce and trauma. I use a relational, psychodynamic approach to promote both behavioral changes and emotional growth to truly thrive. It's my privilege to support and witness the individuals I work with become their fullest selves. I view each client as a unique individual who deserves respect, kindness and support, and I take a very active role in treatment by engaging fully, sharing my thoughts and meeting you where you're at in your struggles.

I work with clients who suffer from various psychological ailments including eating disorders, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, trauma, and sexual problems. I help individuals to uncover and understand the root of their disorders. I believe that unhealthy behavioral patterns are often an individual's attempt to fill a void resulting from dissatisfaction in career, relationships, finances, spirituality, or life purpose. Healing happens when individuals begin to understand where their issues are coming from, thus allowing them to gain control over their mind and body and ultimately mastery over their lives.

Imagine going through life being able to – emotionally, relationally, physically, truly – trust your gut. Therapy is an opportunity to learn how to do just that. My clients come from all walks of life, but they usually begin therapy with some version of the same core feeling: it’s all just too much. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed in daily life, navigating complicated relationships, wanting to heal your relationship with food or your body, or (re)discovering who you are – you're here because you need some support and you're daring to imagine that you deserve it. And you do!

Brace yourself! This may be one of the most important decisions of your life! I mean, therapy is a vehicle to move you forward to actualize as the best, most satisfied and healthiest person you can be. Therapy is about reflection, discovery, growth and empowerment – essential ingredients for a happy, balanced life. And successful therapy as I see it is a combination of that “certain something” connection coupled with solid therapy interventions that are proven to help people grow.

You are not alone. Seeking help is one of the hardest and bravest actions we take. Life can be a lot. I use a relational collaborative approach to treatment with the use of skill, humor, and acceptance. While I am an expert in specific treatment approaches you are the expert on your life. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in DBT and treatment of eating disorders and addictions. I am passionate about recovery based treatment and the power of vulnerability. I believe in change and action based approaches to facilitate exposure and hope around building the life and relationships you want.

At Resilience Therapy, we understand that therapy is a deeply personal journey that should reflect the unique needs and aspirations of each individual. We believe in you and are here to support and guide you through your journey. Our practice is rooted in the belief that everyone can foster and build resilience—the ability to not only overcome challenges, but to also thrive in spite of them. Resilience Therapy is built on the premise that we are all resilient, and embraces the belief that within each person there is inherent strength and worth.

Starting therapy is a courageous endeavor. You may be feeling stuck in a rut, having trouble managing stress, or struggling with your relationship with food. I work with adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression and eating disorders. With warmth and just the right amount of humor, I strive to help my patients cultivate meaning and find joy amidst difficult experiences.

I am committed to helping people understand themselves better so that they can make constructive changes in their lives, whether that is to feel less depressed or anxious, to establish more satisfying relationships, to stop bingeing and purging, or to function better at work. I work mainly with individual adults, including many college students. I have a doctorate in clinical psychology from Temple University. I have had post-doctoral training from the William Alanson White Institute in treating eating disorders and in psychodynamic psychotherapy from the NYU Psychoanalytic Institute,

I consider it an honor to hear peoples' stories and help them find freedom and wholeness by meeting them where they are and walking alongside them through life's struggles and situations. I create a safe and supportive environment for people to share their stories and struggles, and connect them to various resources and support systems they made need, including: nutritionists; MDs; support groups, clergy; etc. in order to provide the most comprehensive approach to wholeness and well-being.

As a therapist, I prioritize getting to know the whole person and deeply value the unique relationship that grows within the therapeutic space.
