Esra Atamer, PhD 

Licensed Psychoanalyst


People seek therapy for various reasons. They may sense that something is missing, or that old habits are no longer working. They might find that their thoughts are getting in the way, or that their feelings are overwhelming. Therapy offers an environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings with someone who is attuned to your personal experience. Together, we work through unconscious obstacles that keep you from living a fulfilling life.


I am a licensed psychoanalyst practicing in New York specializing in anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationships. I help people with mental and emotional fatigue, stress, self-esteem issues, intrusive thoughts, self-defeating patterns, and creative blocks. My approach is exploratory and insight-oriented. You may have a specific concern or vague thoughts;  we begin with exploring  together what is bringing you to therapy. To schedule a consultation, please send me a message.
