Mitchel Eisenstein

Mitchel Eisenstein

Therapist

Virtual • New York, NY


As a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) with 17 years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of guiding countless individuals through life's toughest moments, helping them rediscover their inner strength and joy. I graduated from Adelphi University in 2007, where I honed my skills in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, but what truly sets me apart is my deep commitment to seeing each client as a unique person with their own story, dreams, and potential. My practice is built on a foundation of empathy, integrity, and genuine care — I don't just listen; I truly hear you, validating your experiences without judgment. Over the years, I've supported people from all walks of life, whether they're navigating the fog of anxiety, the weight of grief, or the complexities of relationships, always tailoring my approach to what resonates most with you. Clients often tell me they feel an immediate sense of relief knowing they're in a space where vulnerability is met with compassion and expertise. I'm passionate about holistic well-being, incorporating mind-body connections and practical strategies that extend beyond the session room into your daily life. What drives me? Witnessing those transformative "aha" moments when someone realizes they have the power to shape their future. If you're ready to invest in yourself and explore how therapy can unlock a more empowered, fulfilling path, I invite you to reach out — let's start this journey together and see how far you can go.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Brooklyn, NY


What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

Lee Feldman

Therapist

Virtual • New York, NY


There is something very powerful about being heard and seen. New ideas, or previously concealed reservoirs of feeling can open up and lead us to make different choices, see things and people differently, feel more fully alive. My background is in the creative arts and I truly enjoy learning about my patients' lives. I believe in the power of collaborative listening, and in letting the multiple strands of your story emerge in a comfortable, safe, consistent and supportive space. Through supportive, insight-oriented therapy, I can help you process feelings of anxiety, depression, grief and a sense of being overwhelmed.
