Erica Komisar, LCSW

Erica Komisar, LCSW I specialize in a thoughtful and individualized approach to psychotherapy. I treat a variety of issues related to depression, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors.

My background is traditional, but I have developed a very related approach to working with people. I believe the relationship between a therapist and patient is highly individual and should feel like a good match. You have endless choices of well-trained therapists in New York City, which makes specialities and orientations secondary to the relationship and whether or not you "click" with your the

rapist. I work with individuals in life transitions who are at inflection points, often struggling with relationships, work success, and self-esteem issues, as well as setting personal and professional goals for the future. I also treat individuals who struggle with eating issues and other addictions that hinder their development and interfere with their happiness. I have also developed a series of workshops that help parents raise healthy children through a child guidance model. By intervening early, you can prevent depression, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors. in adults. I see parents in my office to help them understand and improve their relationship with their children. And help parents to help their children.

The Germans say, ‘There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.’

The same is true in life: preparation and the right tools matter. For mothers, those tools include honest self-reflection about our own childhoods and wounds — and, most importantly, the time to nurture our children’s attachment security. Too many families lack that time, which is why I strongly support paid maternity leave and other societal support for mothers and families.

This Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about the small, steady moments — morning cuddles, quiet feedings, the trust that grows when a child knows their parent is there. Paid leave makes those moments possible. In my new piece on Substack, I write about why time together after birth matters for attachment, healing, and family wellbeing — and why policy should protect that.

Navigating divorce is challenging, and it's crucial to remember that what feels fair for us as adults might not resonate the same way with our children. They perceive the world through a different lens—one shaped by their emotions and innocence.

Our own trauma and relationship failures should not cloud what is ultimately our duty to be dutiful stewards of our child’s mental health. Remember, it’s not just about fairness, but the emotional landscape we create for our little ones.
