Lillian Rishty

Hi, I'm Lillian Rishty, a licensed psychotherapist, Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) clinician, and founder of NYC Therapy Group. For over a decade, I've helped individuals navigate anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, body image concerns, infertility, pregnancy, postpartum mental health, and the many emotional complexities that come with being human. While I work with adults facing a wide range of concerns, I have a particular passion for supporting women through fertility struggles, pregnancy, new motherhood, and the often-overlooked challenges of matrescence, the transition into motherhood. My path to this work began with a deep interest in understanding people and helping them create meaningful change in their lives. Over the years, both my professional training and my personal experiences as a mother have reinforced my belief that struggling does not mean something is wrong with you, it often means you're navigating something difficult without the right support. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients better understand themselves, manage overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, build resilience, and feel more confident navigating life's challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or simply ready for something to change, therapy can provide a space to gain insight, develop effective tools, and create lasting change. My goal is not just to help you get through difficult seasons, but to help you feel more like yourself again and build a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and authentic. I look forward to connecting with you.
