About Me
Emily Feigenberg,
LCSW, LICSW
My work as a therapist focuses on how we relate to others and ourselves — shaped by personal history and identities such as race, gender, sexuality, and class.
I welcome individuals and couples seeking relief from shame, clarity in ambivalence, and meaningful change. I take a psychodynamic, relational approach to treatment. I will compassionately guide you to identify areas of uncertainty and work with you to explore difficult patterns causing disconnection in your life.
My goal is to help you deepen self-awareness so that real connection outside the therapy room becomes more possible and more fulfilling. My style is collaborative, authentic, warm, and compassionately confrontational. Bearing witness to transformative change in clients’ lives is the greatest honor of this work.
Before private practice, I worked as a caseworker in a community support program, as a coordinator for a youth mentoring program, provided individual psychotherapy with young adults with intellectual disabilities through a Jewish organization in Brookline, MA, worked with individuals with both chronic and acute trauma at the Cambridge Health Alliance, and as a therapist at the Epilepsy Institute in NYC, where I worked with individuals diagnosed with Epilepsy and started a program to treat individuals diagnosed with Psychogenic Seizures (PNES). I have been providing clinical supervision since 2023 and feel genuinely honored to support clinicians as they develop their own voice and approach in the work.
If an area of your life feels distressing, tender, or in transition — let’s explore it together.
The Value of Therapy

Therapy is not only for moments of crisis. It is a space to slow down, look inward, and move toward a life that feels more like yours.

Explore how past experiences continue to shape your present
Develop deeper self-awareness and self-compassion

Improve the way you relate to others — with more clarity, honesty, and ease
Identify and shift patterns that no longer serve you
Strengthen your sense of agency and emotional resilience
Create space to process grief, loss, or unresolved experiences
Learn to tolerate and understand difficult feelings rather than pushing them away
Experience a consistent, supportive relationship where you can be seen and understood
Build trust — in yourself and in relationships

What I Offer
Services
I offer virtual therapy to adults in Massachusetts and New York. All sessions are held via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.
Individual Therapy
At different points in life, things can feel heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming. I see therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to deepen understanding, explore what’s getting in the way, and help you move forward in a way that feels more aligned and sustainable.
Couples Therapy
Working with couples around attachment, communication, and relational patterns. I help partners explore disconnection, rebuild understanding, and create more fulfilling connection with each other.
Perinatal Mental Health
Specialized support for the emotional complexities of fertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum period — a time of immense change that deserves thoughtful, informed care.
Coaching
Coaching offers a more structured, goal-oriented approach focused on practical change and forward movement. Sessions may include strategies, accountability, and exercises to apply between meetings.
Clinical Supervision
