Holistic Therapy for
Creative Adults in New York.
Find Healing. Build Resilience. Move Forward.
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, or difficult relationships leave you feeling stuck. You may have spent years putting others first, managing stress on your own, or wondering why old experiences continue to affect your life today.
You don't have to navigate it alone.
I'm Tanya Irvin, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker providing a holistic, trauma informed approach that combines elements of psychodynamic therapy, cognitive techniques, and DBT.
I approach therapy as a collaborative process where I create a safe emotional space for my clients to explore the patterns of behaviors, relationships, and perspectives that have not been working for them. I am there with them every step of the way to help build a foundation for a lasting change.
Therapy That Honors Your Story
No two people experience anxiety, trauma, or emotional pain in the same way.
That's why therapy should never be one-size-fits-all.
With over 15 years of clinical experience, I combine evidence-based therapies with an understanding of how the brain and nervous system respond to stress and trauma. My goal is not simply to help you cope, but to help you understand yourself with greater compassion, develop practical tools, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you're struggling with a recent life event or carrying wounds from years ago, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with confidence.

Creating a space for you to continue your growth as a creative professional and manage personal and professional challenges unique to their fields
Specialized Therapy Services
Trauma affects both the mind and body. Together we'll gently explore experiences at a pace that feels safe while helping your nervous system build resilience and stability.
Constant worry, racing thoughts, panic, perfectionism, and people-pleasing don't have to control your life. Therapy can help you better understand your anxiety while learning practical skills to regain a sense of calm.
Major life changes, career shifts, divorce, grief, parenting challenges, and identity changes can leave you feeling uncertain. Therapy provides support while helping you move through transition with clarity and confidence.
Therapy for Creative Professionals
Creative professionals often face unique challenges to their fields. Dealing with issues like creative droughts, self doubt, managing stress and other factors can be greatly improved through my creative-focused therapy.
Imposter syndrome can make even your greatest accomplishments feel undeserved. Therapy can help you challenge self-doubt, understand where these beliefs come from, and build a healthier sense of confidence and self-worth. You can learn to recognize your strengths, quiet the inner critic, and feel more comfortable owning your accomplishments without fear of being “found out.”

I integrate evidence-based approaches based on your unique needs, including:
Every treatment plan is personalized because every client deserves care that reflects their unique experiences and goals.
