OUR TEAM
Shoshana Rybeck, LMSW
Shoshana Rybeck (she/her) approaches therapy as a collaborative process that helps clients deepen self-understanding, strengthen emotional resilience, and build more meaningful relationships with themselves and others. Her work is grounded in an intersectional framework, recognizing how culture, identity, family systems, and social contexts shape each person's experiences and mental health. Her therapeutic style is warm, curious, and relational, mainly working with young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. She integrates psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic, and trauma-informed approaches, helping clients explore both the emotional and embodied aspects of their experiences. Shoshana tailors treatment to each individual's goals and believes that lasting change emerges through increased self-awareness, intentional reflection, and compassionate engagement with difficult emotions. affirming, nonjudgmental space where clients can safely explore challenges, uncover patterns, and move toward lives that feel more authentic and aligned with their values. Shoshana earned her Master of Social Work (MSW) from CUNY Hunter’s Silberman School of Social Work. I believe therapy offers a unique opportunity to slow down, listen more deeply to ourselves, and create meaningful change. My goal is to help clients cultivate greater self-compassion, emotional flexibility, and a stronger connection to who they are and how they want to live.
