About
Colleen Jeffus, LCSW, is a New York-based therapist with 12 years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety and trauma-related symptoms. She earned a Master of Science in Psychology in 2011 and a Master of Social Work in 2014, training that helps her understand both emotional patterns and practical pathways for change.
In therapy, Colleen works collaboratively to identify the parts of life most affected - whether that is day-to-day stress, relationships, self-esteem, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences - and uses that as the starting point for meaningful progress. Together, clients focus on recognizing strengths, building healthier ways to understand emotions, and developing skills to manage what feels unmanageable. Colleen brings empathy and steady support to each session, offering a judgment-free environment where clients can explore challenges at their own pace and move toward greater control and well-being.

With an evidence-based approach, therapy focuses on practical skills and strategies that can be applied between sessions, helping clients better understand emotional patterns and respond to challenges more effectively.Her work is also grounded in a trauma-informed perspective, which means sessions move at a pace that feels manageable while paying attention to how past experiences can shape thoughts, emotions, and relationships today.
