About Me
Anna Gribetz, PhD, LCSW
I have over a decade of experience providing grief counseling in NYC, supporting individuals facing loss, bereavement, and chronic illness.
As a therapist specializing in grief counseling NYC clients rely on, I help individuals process the emotional impact of loss while developing meaningful coping strategies and emotional resilience. This work has given me deep insight into the unique challenges of grief and major life transitions.
As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in psychodynamic therapy in New York, creating a safe and supportive space for individuals and couples to explore their emotions and develop effective coping strategies.
Psychodynamic therapy allows us to examine the deeper emotional patterns that shape your experiences, relationships, and responses to life’s challenges. By understanding these patterns, many clients experience greater self-awareness, improved relationships, and long-term emotional healing.
I hold both a PhD and a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work, allowing me to integrate the latest evidence-based practices into my approach.
I provide personalized therapy for those seeking support with grief and loss, young adult counseling, or couples therapy, including marriage counseling and premarital counseling.
My therapy practice supports adults, young adults, and couples throughout New York who are navigating grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
I am an in-network UMR therapist in NYC and also offer private pay and out-of-network options to ensure accessible, high-quality care.
For individuals searching for grief counseling NYC or psychodynamic therapy New York, my goal is to provide a compassionate, culturally aware environment where meaningful emotional work can take place.
