Dr Gavriel Reisner

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“I am trained in trauma, anxiety, and depressive disorders, while publishing on identity, sexuality, and relationships.”

About Me

I offer a space to deeply explore the complexities of trauma, anxiety, and depression. We can gently uncover the roots of these challenges, making sense of how past experiences shape your present. I bring a depth of understanding to issues of identity, sexuality, and relationships. This approach is ideal for those ready to understand themselves more fully, finding lasting clarity and a way forward.

Approach

My work moves clinical knowledge of distress, identity, sexuality, and relationships into close, practical attention to how patterns play out in your feelings and choices. In a quieter consulting room in New York and in English or Hebrew online, sessions tend to unfold at a reflective pace: we notice bodily signals, trace echoes of past hurts, and name relational scripts so you can test new ways of relating. People seeking deeper clarity about mood, trauma, or identity often find this steady, exploratory rhythm helpful.
