Dahlia Green, LMSW · Virtual therapy across New York

Therapy for when life has changed, or something has been building for a while.

A new job or the end of one, a breakup, a parent getting older, or years of being the person everyone leans on. I'm Dahlia, a therapist for adults and couples across New York. Before this I spent 15 years running events and cooking for families, so I stay calm when things are messy, and I'll ask about the practical stuff too, like sleep, food and work.

What people come in with

A few things people bring to a first session

  • A job ended, started, or stopped making sense
  • A move, a breakup, a loss, or a kid leaving home
  • Being the person everyone leans on, with nobody to lean on yourself
  • Worry that keeps you up, or wakes you at 4am
  • The same argument with the same person, again
  • A parent getting older, and more of it landing on you
  • A change you chose that's turning out harder than you expected
  • Life that looks fine from the outside and still feels heavy

Plenty of people start with "I'm not totally sure what I need." That's a normal first session.

What sessions are like

Honest conversation, with room for humor.

I'll tell you what I'm noticing

I ask real questions and say what I see, kindly. You won't get an hour of nodding and "how does that make you feel."

We look at the whole week

Stress, sleep, food, work and relationships feed into each other. Because of my nutrition background, I'll ask about the practical stuff most therapists skip.

You leave with something to try

Alongside the deeper work of understanding why things keep happening, we'll find small, specific things to try between sessions.

My training includes CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and somatic and attachment-based work, with mindfulness underneath it all. I'll explain anything we use in plain English. More on how I work

Events and community

78 events and 67,000+ attendees, from founder dinners to TechDay and The Next Web's New York conference. My favorite was a conference where founders told the honest stories of their hardest moments.

Food

Weekly menus and home cooking for families, postpartum meals as a "food doula", and a lot of soup. Balanced, varied food that's realistic on a Tuesday night, with no fads.
