Elizabeth Weiburg, LMHC Anxiety & Relationship Therapist in New York
You’ve been doing your best to manage — keeping busy, staying productive, trying to keep life steady — but it feels like something’s missing. The same thoughts or patterns keep showing up, and no matter how much effort you put in, it’s hard to shake the sense that something deeper is at play.
I’m Elizabeth Weiburg, LMHC, a therapist at MYAP Therapy. I work with adults who are ready to look beneath the surface — to understand what’s driving their anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges, and to finally start feeling at ease in their own lives.
My clients often tell me that they’ve spent years holding it together for everyone else. In our sessions, I help them make space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what they actually need. It’s not about getting it “right” — it’s about learning to feel comfortable being real.
Who I Work With — For Adults Ready to Understand Themselves and Grow
I work with adults who have started to notice that their usual ways of coping just aren’t working anymore. Many of my clients are in their 30s through 50s — people who have built full lives but still feel something isn’t quite aligning inside.
You might find yourself:
Caught in cycles of worry, irritability, or self-criticism.
Struggling to maintain connection in your relationships.
Feeling anxious or restless even when things seem “fine.”
Navigating changes in work, family, or identity that bring uncertainty.
My clients are often thoughtful, intelligent, and self-aware — but they’ve hit a point where insight alone isn’t enough. They want to feel different, not just understand why they feel the way they do.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Therapy is a place where we can make sense of what’s happening and find new ways forward — grounded in clarity, compassion, and lasting change.
My Approach to Therapy — Insight, Honesty, and Steady Support
In my work, I believe real change comes from a combination of insight and courage — the willingness to be honest with yourself and the steady support to explore what that honesty reveals.
My approach is empathic, present, and direct. I don’t sit back and simply listen; I engage with you. We’ll look at the patterns that keep showing up — in your thoughts, relationships, or sense of self — and start to understand what purpose they’ve been serving.
Together, we’ll uncover the beliefs and experiences that have shaped how you respond to stress, connection, and uncertainty. I’ll help you slow things down enough to notice what’s actually happening inside, so you can respond with intention rather than reaction.
Therapy with me is collaborative. You bring your insight, your story, and your lived experience. I bring curiosity, clinical training, and an unwavering belief that you can grow through what you’re facing.
What It’s Like to Work With Me — A Steady, Reflective Space to Explore What’s Beneath the Surface
In our sessions, you’ll find me bringing a genuine sense of warmth, curiosity, and focused presence. I believe in active engagement — I won’t be a silent observer. Instead, I’m a reflective and present partner in your process.
Together, we’ll explore what’s really happening beneath the surface — whether that means untangling complex relationship patterns, navigating emotional overwhelm, or making sense of long-standing beliefs about yourself. You can expect compassion, honest feedback, and unwavering care.
Our work is collaborative. I offer a space where you can pause, take a breath, and get curious about what’s coming up without pressure to have it all figured out. Some sessions will focus on clarity and practical next steps; others may feel slower, allowing for deeper understanding and self-acceptance.
My goal is to help you build trust in yourself. To move through life with more steadiness, self-awareness, and ease.
