Fanny Tristan(She/Her/Hers)

Fanny Tristan, LCSW-R, is a trauma-trained psychotherapist of over 15 years and founder of Restority Space, a virtual private practice serving adult first-born daughters across New York and New Jersey. Her clients are often high-achieving women of color who carry a heavy emotional load—managing work, family, and everyone else's needs while quietly battling anxiety, depression, and burnout. Many were raised to be the "responsible one" and now find themselves stuck in perfectionism, people-pleasing, or unfulfilling relationships despite outward success.

Fanny's approach centers the unique experiences of first-born daughters—especially those raised in immigrant or culturally complex households—who often internalize pressure to overperform, keep the peace, and neglect their own needs. She works at the intersection of birth order, trauma, gender, culture, depression, and anxiety, helping clients unravel the impact of generational expectations and rewrite patterns that no longer serve them.

Using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Fanny offers a structured and evidence-based path toward healing. Her work is active, goal-oriented, and designed for clients who want more than just venting—they want real tools to shift their inner dialogue and show up differently in their lives. Clients leave therapy with greater clarity, emotional resilience, and the ability to set boundaries without guilt.

As a daughter of Afro-Peruvian immigrants and a working mom, Fanny brings cultural sensitivity, warmth, and lived experience into the therapy space. She offers individual therapy for adults and is currently accepting new clients for remote sessions in NY and NJ. Restority Space operates entirely online, providing flexible and accessible care for those ready to break cycles and build a life rooted in confidence, not pressure.
