Tziporah Eisenstein

I work with people who have a deep understanding of their patterns, yet still struggle with their persistence. Many also face challenges around responsibility and self-prioritization, worrying about burdening others or taking up space. For those navigating eating disorders, these inner tensions often emerge through food as struggles with desire, longing, and control. I also work with therapists and helping professionals who encounter similar internal conflicts, supporting their self-awareness both personally and in the context of their clinical work. My approach is grounded in Psychoanalytic and Existential traditions, and I incorporate Sensory-Motor and Behavioral therapies when they are helpful. I believe ongoing learning is essential for a therapist's accountability and integrity; I have completed training at the William Alanson White Institute's Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program and study with the Eating Disorders, Compulsions, and Addictions program. Additionally, I am trained and certified by the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. In therapy, we explore the emotional and relational dynamics beneath the patterns you’re struggling with. What may appear on the surface is often a symbolic language through which the mind and body learned to express needs that once felt unsafe or unmet. As you give voice to what was unsaid, you begin to build a steadier and more compassionate space within yourself, where need, desire, and ambivalence can be held without shame or self-criticism and eventually shared more openly with others. If this approach resonates with you, I welcome you to reach out for a consultation call to see if we might be a good fit.
