Sylvia Scheiner, MHC-LP, MS - Mental Health Counseling(She/Her/Hers)

Sylvia works with adults navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, eating disorders, body image concerns, family conflict, estrangement, and life transitions. She is passionate about helping clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves while cultivating greater self-compassion and emotional resilience. Sylvia also supports individuals through the transition into parenthood, including those experiencing perinatal, postpartum, and birth-related challenges.

Sylvia believes that therapy should be a collaborative and supportive process where clients feel safe exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. She understands that many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves, and she works to create a space where clients can slow down, reflect, and make sense of what they are carrying. Her approach is warm, curious, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change occurs when people feel genuinely seen and understood.

Drawing from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, and creative interventions, Sylvia tailors treatment to the unique needs of each client. She helps clients explore longstanding patterns, process difficult experiences, strengthen coping skills, and build a more authentic relationship with themselves. While she values insight and self-understanding, she also incorporates practical tools that clients can use in their daily lives.

Sylvia's clinical work is informed by a holistic perspective that recognizes the connection between emotional well-being, relationships, personal history, and the broader contexts that shape a person's life. She strives to honor each client's individuality and collaborates with them to identify goals that feel meaningful and attainable.

Sylvia offers therapy to adults throughout New York via telehealth and provides in-person sessions at Holistic Psychotherapy NYC's office in Midtown Manhattan near Grand Central Terminal. She welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities and is committed to creating an inclusive, affirming, and compassionate therapeutic environment.
