Therapy for Adults Who Look Like They Have It All Together

Specializing in Anxiety and Trauma in New York City and Across New York State

Integrating Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Therapy

WHEN YOUR MIND IS ALWAYS ON

Ruminating on yesterday’s conversations

Hyperfocusing on today’s to-do list

Overthinking tomorrow’s what-ifs

From the outside, your life may look really good. You have a family you care deeply about and a lot to be grateful for. And you know that, but it doesn’t fully translate into how you feel day to day.

You’re managing a lot, and you do it well. You’re used to being the one others rely on. It’s a role you’ve carried for a long time. You try to stay on top of things, your calendar, your lists, trying to keep everything moving.

Even in moments that are good, it can feel like you’re not quite able to appreciate them. There’s still that tension in your body. The looping thoughts. A feeling of bracing. Like your system doesn’t get the message that it’s safe to settle.

A STEADY WAY FORWARD

If you're feeling stretched thin by the pressure, the overthinking, the self-doubt…

If you’re ready to stop ruminating and start feeling more centered…

If you keep finding yourself in familiar patterns, working hard to feel secure, second-guessing your needs, or feeling alone even when you’re not…

If you want therapy that feels both practical and actually helps things shift…

Our conversations will move at a pace that feels attuned to you.

We can start here.

I’m Hilary, an Anxiety and Trauma Therapist in New York City

You may feel like you’re living in overdrive, your mind is always on, you’re holding a lot together, and even when things look fine from the outside, it doesn’t always feel that way internally.

I provide anxiety therapy and trauma therapy for adults in New York City and across New York State. With over 20 years of professional experience, and a background shaped by high-pressure, competitive environments, I understand the drive to keep striving, the mental load, and how “good enough” can feel just out of reach. As a parent, I understand the constant attunement to others and the pressure to get it all right. I bring a steady, attentive approach that helps you slow things down and respond differently to patterns that no longer serve you.

Over time, something begins to shift. You start to:

  • feel more calm in your body and less pulled by racing thoughts

  • understand your patterns without getting stuck in them

  • respond to yourself with more clarity and self-trust

  • feel more connected to your needs and what matters to you

My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Therapy so change happens not only in how you think, but also in how you move through your day to day life and relate to yourself. Therapy can be deeply reflective, but also human and relieving.

If you’re curious about working together, we can start with a consultation, a simple way to talk through what’s been going on and begin a conversation about next steps.

You deserve a space for you.

Frequently Asked Questions about Anxiety & Trauma Therapy In NYC

  • Yes. All sessions are held via secure video platform, accessible to clients anywhere in New York State.

  • I work with adults across New York State who are navigating anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, trauma, and the pressure to constantly hold everything together. Many of my clients appear highly capable on the outside, yet internally feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, chronic stress, people-pleasing, overanalyzing, or difficulty fully relaxing and enjoying their lives.

    Some clients come to therapy wanting support with relationships, boundaries, burnout, or major life transitions. Others are simply tired of feeling constantly “on” and want to feel more calm, connected, and present in their day-to-day lives.

  • My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and practical. I integrate Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Therapy to help you better understand the patterns driving anxiety, overthinking, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we work toward meaningful change by combining insight with practical tools, helping you feel more connected to yourself, clearer about your needs, and more steady in your day to day life.

  • Rates are $325/45 minute session $350/initial evaluation.

  • I am in-network with UMR Top Tier for Mt. Sinai employees and their families. Many people have out-of-network benefits and can be reimbursed for psychotherapy services by as much as 40-100%, depending on the plan. Call your insurer’s Member Services number and ask:

    • Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits for telehealth?

    • If so, what portion of the fee will insurance reimburse?

    • How many sessions will be covered per calendar year?

    • Do I have an out of network deductible? If yes, how much of it has already been met?

    • Is there a co-payment?

    • What is the max allowable reimbursement rate for the following codes: 90791, 90837, 90834? (add “-95” to indicate telehealth)

    HSA/FSA funds may be an option for payment as well. Clients are always responsible for payment at the time of visit.
