About

With 21 years of clinical experience, Deborah Schnitzer brings longstanding commitment and practical skills to her counseling work in New York. She has also served as an adjunct instructor at the undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels, combining teaching with direct clinical practice.

Deborah is honored that clients choose to share seasons of their lives with her. She does not promise quick fixes; instead she offers a broad set of clinical tools and teaches clients how to use them to begin or continue a journey of healing, change, and personal growth. She witnesses those changes regularly and regards that progress as a privilege to witness.

Her approach is trauma-informed and draws on a range of evidence-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), schema therapy, internal family systems (IFS), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy. She treats people with respect, without judgment, and with honesty, recognizing that each person is the expert on their own life.

Deborah is a licensed clinical social worker in New York and maintains a warm, professional stance while helping individuals address relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, life transitions, stress and anxiety, grief, intimacy and anger issues, self-esteem and career difficulties, as well as mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also offers coaching and support for compassion fatigue.
