Lily Nussbaum, LMHC(She/Her/Hers)

Lily works with adults across the lifespan and specializes in relationships and couples therapy. Her clients often come in feeling stuck, caught in repetitive patterns of relating that may have once been protective or adaptive but no longer serve them. Whether the people Lily sees are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, or long-standing emotional struggles, she provides a space to explore these experiences with curiosity and care.

Lily's approach is grounded in relational psychodynamic theory, emphasizing the importance of understanding how past experiences shape present dynamics. She helps clients deepen self-awareness, identify underlying patterns of thought and behavior, and develop more effective ways of communicating and connecting. In work with couples, Lily focuses on fostering mutual understanding, improving communication, and helping partners move out of entrenched cycles toward more fulfilling relationships.

As a licensed mental health counselor, Lily has nearly a decade of experience providing both individual and couples therapy. Her clinical work has been rooted in her time with SelfWorks Group, where she has developed a thoughtful, collaborative style that balances insight-oriented exploration with practical tools for change.

Lily's office is located in Manhattan’s Flatiron district, and she offers both in-person and remote sessions. This flexibility allows her to accommodate a range of schedules and preferences, making therapy accessible whether clients are local or prefer to meet virtually.
