Dr. Sophie Lew, PsyD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck or disconnected.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and an active presence to therapy. I believe that understanding ourselves more deeply can create new possibilities - in our relationships, in the choices we make, and in how we experience our lives.
My goal is to help clients develop greater insight into themselves while also finding meaningful, practical ways to create change.
I am licensed to practice psychology in New York, California, Massachusetts, and Vermont. I see clients in person in Brooklyn and work virtually with clients in all four states.
Approach
Therapy with me is a place to slow down and become curious about the patterns shaping your relationships, emotions, and choices. Together, we work to understand not only what is happening now, but how past experiences and relationships may continue to influence the way you move through the world.
My approach is primarily psychodynamic and relational, while also drawing from attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness when useful. I tend to be active and engaged in the room - offering observations, asking questions, and helping you translate insight into meaningful change in your everyday life.
What to expect
1. A brief phone consultation. We talk about what brings you in and see if we are a good fit.
2. Your first sessions. We get to know you, or the two of you, and the patterns you want to change.
3. Ongoing work. We explore what is happening now and practice new ways of responding in everyday life.
Get in touch.
Set up a brief phone consultation to share a little about what brings you to therapy, ask any questions you may have, and get a sense of whether we might be a good fit. I respond to all inquiries within 48 hours.
