Dr. Karen Weiser is an LGBTQIA+ affirming Licensed Psychoanalyst in full-time private practice in Tribeca who welcomes adults (18+) and couples with difficulties across the mental health spectrum. She works with a diverse group of people with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, past and recent trauma, grief and loss, sexuality and gender, life changes, and self-esteem.
She focuses on helping her patients learn how to better regulate their emotions so that they can feel less overwhelmed and find more self-acceptance. Karen often works with people who have suffered from depression and anxiety for a long time, including some who have been in therapy before and others who are completely new to it. She is focused on helping her patients make real progress, which translates over time into a decrease in symptoms like the frequency of panic attacks or depressive social isolation, an increase in the ability to trust others and form relationships, and most especially, in developing the ability to articulate feelings and work through them so they don't feel as painful, suffocating, or preoccupying.
Karen's training is in relational psychoanalysis, which focuses on recognizing and shifting the unconscious and attachment dynamics that underlie all relationships, including the ones we have with ourselves. She takes a collaborative approach and often incorporates mindfulness and a focus on the body, as well as other therapeutic modes.
After earning a PhD in English and an MFA in poetry, she left academia and completed advanced training in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in New York City.
