"Sometimes we don't need a 'fix' as much as we need a caring witness — someone to sit with us in the hard places."

I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and the kind of life transitions that shake your sense of who you are.

Do you feel weighed down by sadness, worry, or exhaustion that doesn't seem to lift?

Are you stuck in thought patterns that replay no matter how hard you try to move past them?

Do ordinary days feel harder than they should — like you're carrying more than you can put into words?

Therapy can help you understand what's going on beneath the surface, ease that weight, and find a steadier way forward.

My approach is warm, relational, and tailored to you — drawing on psychodynamic, cognitive, and trauma-focused therapy to support both insight and real, lasting change.

Life throws a lot at us. Don't go it alone.

Dr. Liat Segal, PhD

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist working with adults in New York and New Jersey. I hold two master's degrees and a PhD from Columbia University, with training in multiple therapeutic approaches, which I integrate based on what each person needs.

Therapy can shift how you relate to yourself and others, helping you move through life with more clarity and steadiness. My work is grounded in deep respect for each person's unique history and pace, supporting both insight and practical change.

The connection between therapist and client matters. If anything here resonates, I'd welcome the chance to connect.

A collaborative, integrative approach

No two clients are the same, and no two courses of therapy are identical. I draw on a range of well-researched approaches — tailoring the work to what each person needs, whether that's processing the past, building practical tools for the present, or both.
