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.

Aileen is a fabulous therapist. She lets me talk it out, and then comes in before I can spiral again and gets me to reality. She was instrumental in helping me get out of a bad situation. I will always be grateful to her for her kindness and directness, and enjoy therapy with her.

Only had first session so it’s early in the process. I felt better during annd anfter and think this could be a good support for my needs. She has a very calm and reassuring voice.

Aileen is a sweet, understanding and compassionate person. Being vulnerable is very hard for me, and Aileen has been very sensitive and tactful in her responses when I open up.

Soft spoken, sincere, thoughtful.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aileen is wonderful, she is a great listener and has been tremendous support during my healing time. I feel very lucky to have found a therapist that understands and is there when you need her.

Amazing ability to listen and provide support

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.

Aileen is great. Very friendly, understanding and helpful
Written on Jan 07, 2022 after therapy with Aileen for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and self esteem
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.

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.

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

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!

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!
