Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, burnout, and stress. I obtained my Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland, which a concentration in clinical social work. I have worked in a variety of settings including, psychiatric hospitals, correctional facilities, community mental health programs, as well as private practice. I also have a particular passion for working with those in law enforcement and understand firsthand the unique pressures, expectations, and emotional toll that come with the job.

Clients often describe my style as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. I aim to create a space that feels real and nonjudgmental, where you can show up as you are. I focus on treating the whole person, not just symptoms, and I use a blend of approaches to support you in a way that feels practical and meaningful.

I take a holistic, non-pathologizing approach to therapy, supporting clients who want to feel better without feeling labeled. In addition to my clinical training, I also have a background as a health coach, which allows me to incorporate wellness and lifestyle strategies into our work. I believe mental and physical health are deeply connected, and I enjoy helping clients strengthen both.

Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported as your full self.

Dr. Jeffrey Rubin

Dr. Jeffrey Rubin

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


I've spent over 40 years helping people navigate some of life's most challenging moments — and that work began long before I had a formal practice. Coming of age during the AIDS crisis, I watched everyone around me step into caregiving roles, often while struggling themselves. Witnessing the emotional weight of that — the anxiety, the fear, the toll — shaped everything about how I approach this work. My focus ever since has been helping people not just survive difficult experiences, but genuinely grow from them.


I've maintained a private practice in psychotherapy since 1983, and I hold a doctorate from Columbia University along with post-doctoral training in Organizational Development.


Outside of work, you'll find me hiking, swimming with my family, or playing the ukulele.

Therapist

I work with high-functioning people who are quietly overwhelmed inside — the ones managing everyone else's needs while their own goes unattended. If your life looks fine but feels like bracing, performing, or waiting for the other shoe to drop, you're who I love working with. My focus is the gap between the self you present and who you actually are -where that split came from and what it's costing you. Whether it shows up as people-pleasing, over-functioning, anxious attachment, family wounds, or a nervous system stuck "on," we go after the root, not just the symptom.
