Esther Volivetska

I am a skilled and compassionate Licensed Psychoanalyst and Gestalt Therapist, practicing in New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ), and Vermont (VT). I see clients in person in New York City and offer virtual counseling sessions across all three states. My integrative therapeutic approach combines psychoanalysis, Gestalt therapy, somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychosomatic methods. I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship issues, parenting challenges, stress, and major life transitions. Together, we work to uncover emotional patterns, develop body awareness, and strengthen your capacity for connection, resilience, and self-understanding. I earned my Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Gestalt Center for Psychotherapy and Training in New York City. My background also includes years of study in somatic practices, yoga philosophy, and mindfulness, which deeply inform my work. Being fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian enables me to connect with clients from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. In my sessions, I focus on helping you feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe that real healing happens through authentic human connection—when you feel safe enough to explore your inner world and begin transforming long-held patterns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented, grounded in respect, empathy, and curiosity about each person’s unique experience. I provide a safe and confidential space for individuals and couples to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without judgment. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, processing past trauma, navigating relationship conflict, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I will meet you where you are—with compassion, honesty, and care
