Director and Therapist

Lillian Rishty, LCSW, PMH-C

Many of the women Lillian works with are used to being the one who holds everything together — balancing careers, relationships, motherhood, caregiving, and overwhelming expectations while internally struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, body image concerns, or feeling disconnected from themselves. She is especially passionate about supporting women through major life transitions, including fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Lillian’s approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, insightful, and deeply supportive. She integrates psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help clients better understand how past experiences and relationship patterns influence present-day emotions, behaviors, and coping styles. At the same time, she believes therapy should feel practical and grounding, helping clients build tools, gain insight, strengthen self-compassion, and create meaningful change in their daily lives. Lillian strives to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and able to show up fully without fear of judgment. Her style is interactive and relational, with an emphasis on trust, emotional depth, and helping clients feel more connected to themselves and their experiences. Lillian has a special interest in women’s mental health, anxiety, maternal mental health, body image and disordered eating, perfectionism, relationship concerns, and life transitions. As both a psychotherapist and mother herself, she understands firsthand how easy it can be for women to lose themselves while trying to care for everyone around them. Lillian earned her Master’s Degree from Yeshiva University’s Wurzweiler School of Social Work. Her clinical experience includes working collaboratively in a pediatric neurology office, high school and college settings, facilitating art therapy groups in an outpatient rehabilitation facility, working in a mental health clinic, and private practice. Lillian is an LCSW licensed in both New York and New Jersey. She is a Certified Anxiety Specialist through the National Association of Cognitive Behavioral Therapists and is certified in Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy (EDIT)™. She completed advanced training at the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychology in eating disorders, addictions, and compulsions, and is also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). Lillian is certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) and is deeply passionate about supporting women throughout the transition into motherhood.

"This was my first time going thru therapy so I was apprehensive about it but Dr. Rishty has made the experience easy for me and I've seen progress and results after the first 3 sessions. She's attentive, listens carefully and offers clear guidance for me to understand and utilize in my day to day life."

"I really enjoy my therapy sessions with Lillian. She's so easy to talk to and genuinely cares. I've learned a lot about myself in the process."
“I came to therapy feeling completely burnt out and disconnected from myself. I’ve learned how to slow down, understand my emotions, and stop being so hard on myself.”
“I felt understood by Lillian almost immediately. She has a way of making you feel safe while also helping you look deeper at patterns and behaviors that are hard to face on your own.”
“As a new mom struggling with anxiety and overwhelm, I finally felt like someone truly understood what I was experiencing. For the first time, I didn’t feel like I had to minimize how overwhelmed I was. Therapy became a space where I could finally breathe.”
