Hi, My name is Elisheva Gewirtz. I am a licensed psychologist in the state of NY. I devoted my career to working with young adults struggling with mental health concerns including anxiety disorders, stress, depression, trauma, relationship distress and OCD. I employ an integrative approach, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapies (including ACT and DBT) while also incorporating attachment and somatic experiencing into my work.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session is about getting to know you. We'll start off by exploring what brings you to therapy and delving into your background a bit. As we wrap up, we will shift gears to set goals for our future work together. This way, I can craft a personalized plan that suits your needs. I'm here to support you every step of the this journey
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
At the heart of my approach is a deep commitment to understanding the unique experiences, needs, and goals of each client. I tailor my approach to individual preferences, aiming to enhance your quality of life. Beyond coping with stress, anxiety, and depression, my vision is empower you to lead a more fulfilling life with joy and meaning.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Integrative
I primarily use an integrative approach with clients, pulling from various modalities and treatment methods including cognitive behavioral therapies (traditional CBT, ACT and DBT), somatic experiencing and emotion focused therapy
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapeutic approach that centers around identifying and addressing thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and sensations. When utilizing a CBT approach, we collaborate to bring about positive changes in each of these domains, empowering you to effectively cope with your problem.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy that places a strong emphasis on mindfulness, acceptance, creating a different relationship with your thought patterns, and aligning your life with your values. You may find this approach resonates with you.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical behavior therapy is another form of cognitive behavioral therapy. DBT techniques can be really helpful for you particularly if you tend to struggle with emotion regulation. DBT places a strong emphasis on learning skills. You may find this approach helpful if you would like to learn a lot of new skills.
Somatic
Somatic experiencing can be helpful if you have undergone trauma, particularly if you experience physical trauma symptoms. Somatic experiencing provides a gentle way of helping you release the trauma from your body.
On average, UnitedHealthcare/Optum clients pay $0-$75
