Professional statement

Dr. Stefanie Landau is a clinical psychologist practicing in Arlington Massachusetts. She is also licensed in NY and DE. She has extensive training in psychodynamic and relational interventions, particularly in treating those struggling with compulsive or addictive behaviors such as eating disorders, workaholism, OCD, and exercise addiction. She utilizes a gentle and direct approach where trust and connection serve as the foundation of the therapeutic relationship. This allows clients to feel safe enough to tolerate the discomfort of change and growth.

Dr. Landau utilizes the therapeutic relationship as a tool. Oftentimes the dynamics in our lives outside of therapy get replayed within the therapeutic relationship. This allows for an in-vivo opportunity to notice our attachment patterns, assumptions and expectations of others, tendencies to respond in ways that are ingrained and automatic. Once we become aware of these patterns, we develop space to change them.

Dr. Landau sees clients both in person in Arlington MA and remotely. She sees individuals, couples and runs interpersonal process groups for those seeking to expedite their healing journey. She invites you to reach out for a free consultation call to get a feel for how she works and whether you might be a good fit.

Message to clients

I work with perfectionists, people pleasers, high achievers, disordered eating and those addicted to productivity. I work with clients to take a deep dive into the adaptive and troublesome effects of their inner perfectionist/people pleaser/achiever. My approach combines emotion focused interventions with relational interventions to help you understand the interpersonal function of your actions and behaviors. Through the safety of a reliable and compassionate therapeutic relationship, you may begin to feel secure enough to take new risks like being messy, disappointing others, tolerating fullness and finding moments of stillness.

Perfectionism, people pleasing, disordered eating and over achieving often evolve as a solution to deeper more vulnerable pain points. In therapy with me, we work together to identify the origin of your suffering and feel a profound appreciation for your adaptive solutions. This helps to make space for new ways of being with yourself and others.

Change is a hugely scary undertaking and must be supported by a solid, dependable, compassionate base. I aim to be that source of support so that you can begin to do the incredible work of self actualization and transformation.
