Dr Anna Yusim

Medical Doctor

“A Stanford- & Yale-trained psychiatrist/psychotherapist who blends psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, existential & spiritual approaches.”

About Me

I integrate diverse psychological approaches to support your unique path. We can explore how past experiences shape your present. We also build practical strategies for daily challenges. Our work can connect you with deeper meaning and purpose. This comprehensive perspective helps you understand yourself more fully, finding a clear way forward.

Approach

That clarity shapes how sessions unfold: a careful mix of reflective listening, targeted skill practice, and gentle exploration of patterns that keeps us grounded in the present while tracing their roots. In New York City or online, in English or Russian, sessions are paced to your needs—some weeks focused on concrete tools for anxiety or burnout, others on deeper narrative work around loss, relationships, or transition. People seeking steadier thinking and more authentic connection often find this balance helpful.
