Ilana Pilcz, MHC, MA

Hello, I'm Ilana, a trauma-informed therapist based in New York City specializing in young professionals, therapy first-timers, theatre performers, and couples.

Therapy with me is all about creating a genuine connection between two human beings. No empty nods or passive listening here! Whether you're an individual or part of a couple, I offer a warm and supportive space for growth, whether in person at my Midtown Manhattan office or virtually.

As a therapist specializing in the unique challenges of young professionals, I understand the complexities you face – from navigating career aspirations and relationship dynamics to coping with stress, anxiety, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. Together, we'll explore the intricacies of your identity, cultivate resilience in the face of life's transitions, and develop practical strategies for achieving greater balance and fulfillment. Whether you're seeking clarity in your career path, support in building and maintaining relationships, or tools to navigate the pressures of daily life, I'm here to provide compassionate connection, unwavering support, and gentle challenge every step of the way. Let's embark on a transformative journey towards emotional well-being and personal growth, where authenticity, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of purpose await.

My practice centers around attachment theory, focusing on practical strategies to shift attachment from insecurity to security. Additionally, I'm passionate about mindfulness and integrating holistic healing methods into therapy. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions, relationship issues, or life transitions, I'm here to offer empathetic support every step of the way. Let's embark on this transformative path towards healing and growth with compassion, connection, and authenticity as our compass.
