Cristina Camaras Lieberson, LCSW

"The therapist strives to be reliable, attentive, and sympathetically responsive to their patient’s exploration, and so far as they can, to see and feel the world through their patient’s eyes, namely to be empathic." John Bowlby, (1988). A secure base: Clinical applications of attachment theory. Psychotherapy is a safe space to focus on yourself and to improve your self-esteem. Together, we will work to understand the best way to make you feel better. EXPERIENCE I am a psychotherapist with more than 10 years of experience, with an international degree in Psychology, a Master in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago, postgraduate fellowship training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis and a Certificate in Global Mental Health: Trauma and Recovery from Harvard Medical School. My therapeutic approach is multifaceted, appropriately reflecting the complexity of each client. I practice from a dynamic approach and combine various modalities, including psychodynamic, attachment-based, and multicultural therapy. I specialize in generalized anxiety, social and performance anxiety, panic attacks, developmental trauma, complex-PTSD, depression, attachment disorders, attachment issues in romantic relations, body image issues, and low self-esteem. Additional focus: chronic occupational stress, academic success, career development.
