Tziporah Eisenstein, LCSW, CEDS's style

Why Tziporah Eisenstein, LCSW, CEDS chose to be in the helping profession

I’m drawn to this work because I believe that beneath patterns of perfectionism, self‑criticism, or struggles with food, there are emotional and relational experiences that can be meaningfully explored. Many of the people I work with are insightful of their patterns yet still feel stuck when it comes to creating lasting change. They often find themselves wrestling with self-prioritization, worrying about burdening others, or feeling unsure about taking up space. These inner conflicts can be quiet and persistent, shaping how someone relates to themselves and the world around them.

I specialize in treating eating disorders, where these tensions often surface through food, appearing as struggles with desire, longing, control, and restraint. In this work, we stay close to the complexity beneath these behaviors rather than reducing them to symptoms alone. I also work with therapists and other helping professionals, with attention to the emotional intricacies that can accompany care‑centered roles. Together, we focus on deepening self‑awareness in a way that supports them both personally and clinically.

Tziporah Eisenstein, LCSW, CEDS's approach

My approach is grounded in Psychoanalytic and Existential traditions, with Sensory‑Motor and Behavioral approaches woven in when they are useful. I see therapy as a collaborative process shaped by both meaning-making and practical awareness.
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 continue to study with the Eating Disorders, Compulsions, and Addictions program. I am also trained and certified by the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals.

What you can expect from sessions with Tziporah Eisenstein, LCSW, CEDS

In therapy, we explore the emotional and relational dynamics beneath the patterns you’re struggling with. What appears on the surface is often a symbolic language that the mind and body developed 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, ultimately allowing you to share them 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.

Tziporah Eisenstein, LCSW, CEDS's experience working with the Jewish community

I have experience working with New York City’s diverse population in both hospital and clinical settings, serving individuals from various backgrounds and communities. This includes working with Jewish individuals across the entire denominational and religious spectrum. I am particularly sensitive to the unique challenges of eating disorder recovery in the Jewish community, as well as the communal and intergenerational trauma influenced by antisemitism.

In addition to my clinical work, I teach students in the Frum cohort at Touro College, and I’m committed to fostering thoughtful, accessible mental health care within the community.
