Alicia Abbaspour, LMSW

I offer individual psychotherapy for young adults and adults in New York, online and in-person. With curiosity and care, I support clients in therapy by delving into your emotions and connecting them to your behaviors, exploring the past and recognizing its impact on the present, analyzing your relationships and roles within your community, and carving out opportunities for change. Ultimately, I believe that therapy is a place to practice a discipline of hope—while we examine past traumas and current challenges, we also create a space that makes healing possible.

 

My work has primarily been with folks from immigrant, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC communities, as well as with adolescents and young adults. I draw from multiple disciplines, as well as my own experiences as a queer person of color, and emphasize an anti-oppressive, feminist, and queer-affirming approach to my practice. When you enter the therapeutic space, you bring a unique set of experiences shaped by the world at large, so our work together acknowledges the external contexts that impact your life and relationships.

I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to create an integrative and holistic perspective, drawing from psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), narrative, and relational therapies. Together, we will identify what you want to be working through and let your insights guide our work.
