Sometimes the best way out of the darkness is to have a companion illuminate the path in front of you. My role as your therapist is to be that person, and to hold that light as we journey out of the darkness and onto the path of healing and growth together.
I am a fundamentally empathetic and compassionate person, with a deep appreciation for the strength, resilience, and wisdom in all of us. I operate from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed lens that integrates behavioral and psychodynamic therapies to treat anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, stress, insomnia & complex trauma.
We are all a work in progress, and therapy provides the unique opportunity to press the pause button, remain present and safely work towards uncovering whatever barriers are keeping us stuck. Together, we can holistically explore how you got here, and how to move forward to achieve the life you want on your own terms.
Our work together will help you find the innate resources and strengths that you need to gain insight into what is getting in your way, so that you can restore balance, harmony, and health to your life. My style is warm, non-judgmental, and highly interactive— no subject, thought, or emotion is barred from talking about. I use a non-pathologizing approach that is affirming and strengths-based. I am sex-positive and LGBTQ-affirming, and I recognize that all individuals are situated within the larger social and political context of their lives. Together, we will help you build self-awareness and emotional flexibility to create space for positive changes. We'll help you gain insight into how the past shaped you, shift whatever isn't working, and release what isn't serving you so you can get what you want in life. I work with adults, millennials and teens struggling with relationship and attachment issues, anxiety, depression, major life transitions, toxic family patterns, family dysfunction, poor boundary setting, work-life balance issues, burnout, identity building, chronic somatic distress, chronic illness, intergenerational trauma, and sexuality.
I utilize a variety of techniques to help you discover not only how the past is impacting you today, but also how we can alter recurring thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that are holding you back. My work is holistic and integrative, and honors all of the interrelated facets of well-being: the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional. My practice is informed by psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness and imagery techniques, somatic work, cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy, and my background in the creative arts. Our work will help you build greater self-awareness and emotional flexibility to create space for positive changes in your life, both tangible and energetic. As our sessions progress, we will get to the core of where certain patterns come from and why they are getting in your way. Our work will help you identify distorted thinking, modify beliefs, change behavior, and relate to yourself and others in a way that helps you build an authentic, integrated whole, resilient, and gratifying sense of self.
I think therapy benefits from an attitude of kindness and curiosity. Approaching exploration of yourself in a nonjudgmental and open manner can make it easier to increase your understanding of yourself. This understanding can create comfort and/or create grounds to make change.
My approach to therapy utilizes a narrative framework to explore what stories or perspectives are creating your reality. We can collaboratively examine which narratives feel most appropriate to prioritize exploring, based on factors like which ones are most distressing, interesting, or impactful.
Understanding a narrative that serves you and gives you strength can give you the knowledge to reinforce that presence in your life. Understanding a narrative that causes you strife, gives you an understanding of where your troubles are coming from, allowing you to choose to act and perceive otherwise. Together, we can explore and build your framework of narratives.
I offer individual psychotherapy for young adults and adults in New York, online and in-person. With curiosity and care, I support clients in therapy by delving into your emotions and connecting them to your behaviors, exploring the past and recognizing its impact on the present, analyzing your relationships and roles within your community, and carving out opportunities for change. Ultimately, I believe that therapy is a place to practice a discipline of hope—while we examine past traumas and current challenges, we also create a space that makes healing possible.
My work has primarily been with folks from immigrant, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC communities, as well as with adolescents and young adults. I draw from multiple disciplines, as well as my own experiences as a queer person of color, and emphasize an anti-oppressive, feminist, and queer-affirming approach to my practice. When you enter the therapeutic space, you bring a unique set of experiences shaped by the world at large, so our work together acknowledges the external contexts that impact your life and relationships.
I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to create an integrative and holistic perspective, drawing from psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), narrative, and relational therapies. Together, we will identify what you want to be working through and let your insights guide our work.
*Alicia is available for in-person sessions on Monday in Greenpoint and virtual sessions Tuesday through Thursday.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the idea of a deep connection between the mind and the physical body, and the intrinsic ability in all people to heal, grow, and make positive change through the transformative power of their own mind. This ideology is informed by my time at Columbia University’s Spirituality Mind Body Institute, where I received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology and Spirituality. There I learned the science of mindfulness and the ways in which our thought patterns are capable of both positively and negatively effecting not only one’s emotional/ mental state but the physical body as well.
I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced/experience trauma, anxiety, depression, and OCD, and help clients work through the impact these issues can have on their interpersonal relationships, career, social life, motivation, and sense of self. I also work with clients experiencing dating, relationship, and intimacy issues.
In my practice I utilize a wide range of therapeutic techniques, and appreciate the benefit of integrating traditional psychotherapeutic modalities with less traditional methods which utilize my alternative background. I have training in CBT, DBT, mindfulness and meditation, the Alexander Technique from Ted Dimon, founder of the Dimon Institute, and trauma-informed therapy from Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s Trauma Research Foundation.
As a therapist I believe that everyone is on a unique path and journey towards self-actualization, therefore there is no real textbook approach to therapy. As a clinician I make space for the individual and prioritize fostering a safe, open, empathic, and flexible environment for my clients to explore, navigate, and better comprehend both their inner and outer worlds. I show up for my clients with compassion and non-judgment, and perhaps more importantly, I encourage my clients to show up for themselves with the same compassion and non-judgment.
Whether you’re new to therapy or have been in therapy for many years, I will work with you toward reaching your goals, getting “unstuck,” and gaining a better understanding of yourself and your interpersonal relationships.
No matter where you are on your path, I’m here to support you in cultivating the inner and outer world you seek!
I am currently accepting clients for both virtual and in-person sessions.
At her private psychiatry practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, Eileen DiFrancesco, MD, cares for people ages 12 and older in a welcoming, compassionate setting.
Dr. DiFrancesco is a skilled, board-certified psychiatrist who also specializes in neurology. She takes a traditional, integrative approach to treating patients for common mental health conditions. Her philosophy is that a healthy brain is key for well-being, balance, and optimal functioning. Making an accurate diagnosis is the most important first step in treating patients. Treatment must be tailored to the needs of each individual. She recognizes that both genetics and environment contribute to mental health and illness; genetics predispose individuals to certain mental disorders; however, parenting, peer integration, environment, and life experiences all factor in to determine the outcome. An assessment of all of these factors is used to create a treatment plan for each individual.
She graduated with honors with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Dr. DiFrancesco received her medical degree at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University in Philadelphia, where she had additional training in neurology and psychology.
She completed residency training at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. Afterward, she worked as a medical director of the Learning Laboratory, a private facility in Connecticut.
Dr. DiFrancesco offers comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, genetic testing, brain imaging, psychotherapy, and more.

As a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry and psychopharmacology, Dr. DiFrancesco is able to prescribe medication for mental disorders. The decision to medicate a patient is very serious and requires an intensive understanding of the individual and the underlying neurobiology.
Dr. DiFrancesco is active in her community and has received many awards for outstanding leadership and commitment to the psychiatry profession. She’s an honored member of the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP).
She received Top Doctor of the Year in Psychiatry and Neurology, Top Female Visionary of the Year, Top Female Executive and has been featured in Top Industry Professionals Magazine, Humanitarian of the Year, Top Doctor of the Year, Top 10 Doctor by State, Patients’ Choice Award, Most Compassionate Doctor Award, Outstanding Professional of the Year, and many other esteemed lists.
