More about me

Licensing: LCSW, LMSW Years in Practice: 25 State: New York

Hello. Welcome to my profile. I am a licensed psychotherapist since 1992 in both New York and California. I believe that building a trusting relationship in a safe environment is the first step toward successful therapy. Psychotherapy is a two-way relationship. One of my strengths is listening. I feel one of the most basic wishes of a client is to be heard. I want to understand the issues the client identifies as well as the unspoken issues that may impede growth. My work begins “where the client is” with no agenda or judgment. As our work together progresses, I will encourage and motivate the client toward reaching goals he or she has set. However, I will employ these methods in a timely manner, when I determine the client is ready to take another step forward.

I primarily practice Psychodynamic Psychotherapy . I'm also schooled in Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness Therapy. I studied at New York University where I received my MSW in 1992. I've treated children, adults and seniors and am passionate about working with all age groups. It's very fulfilling to witness people reach their goals.

I have experience in a variety of settings, including hospitals as a medical social worker and counseling centers as a psychotherapist. I've also worked in Intensive Outpatient Programs treating the chronically mentally ill. Among the issues I've explored with clients are depression, anxiety and health issues, as well as domestic violence, PTSD and trauma. I check messages several times per day and will respond within 24 hours.

Thank you for reading my profile. I look forward to meeting you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Aileen is a great listener, which is what I need most. When she asks a question (which sometimes I ask her to do), it's always the right question. I look forward to our sessions.

She is a great listener and let's me take all the time I need.

Feb 01, 2024

Overall

She really is a good listener and she doesn’t make me feel like I’m an awful when I open up to her about my past and bad experiences.

Overall

Aileen is a thoughtful and effective therapist. She listens intently without judgement, and will often take time outside of sessions to research and recommend exercises or techniques for working through difficult situations.

Overall

Aileen and I met weekly or biweekly over the course of 2022 following the sudden passing of my mother and a number of other major life transitions that fell on me all at once. I found our sessions very useful and by the end of the year felt like I was in a positive enough place to end therapy. She is very professional, offers good feedback, and I felt like she really listened to me. I highly recommend Aileen for anyone dealing with grief, relationship issues, and general stress and would return to her in the future if I feel the need for regular therapy again.

J.O.·Apr 06, 2022

Overall

Aileen is an extremely patient therapist. I enjoyed my therapy with her, and it feels like she takes me to explore my mental world and teach me a lot about my anger, my communications, and relationships.

Overall

Aileen is great. Very friendly, understanding and helpful

G.E.·Jan 07, 2022

Overall

Aileen was very kind, open, and patient to work with. She is understanding and a wonderful listener, which makes it easy to open up to her. Ultimately, we agreed that the scope of my challenges would require more specialised treatment elsewhere, but I appreciated her honesty and felt comfortable in the sessions we had.

B.E.·Sep 23, 2021

Overall

Aileen was great! It's always a bit tough to establish a connection remotely but Aileen did a great job of listening and providing a space for me to be honest and get feedback.

E.D.·Aug 27, 2021

Overall

Aileen was extremely perceptive and helpful. As soon as I get my regular work schedule and finances in order, I will return to her.

H.E.·Aug 03, 2021

Overall

Still getting started in my sessions, but so far have had a great experience, feel heard and look forward to continuing to work on and understand myself with Aileen’s guidance and expertise!

J.O.·Jun 01, 2021

Overall

Aileen is a fantastic listener and has been a great support to me. My issue turned out to be a short-term situationally based reaction, but that did not decrease the intensity of my experience or my desperation while I was going through it. Aileen was able to quickly get enough information to be able to meet me where I was at and help me until my situation ultimately resolved. She was just as supportive of my readiness to discontinue therapy and made sure I knew she would be available if I ever wanted to resume. I will miss her!
