A Personalized Approach
If you’re looking to grow and heal from life's challenges and learn how to thrive, you’re in the right place. RM psychotherapy is recognized for specializing in Dating and Relationship therapy on the Upper East Side. Psychotherapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each person’s journey is unique, and we will work together to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. My clients receive individualized treatment for issues ranging from dating and marriage, anxiety, family relationships, communication skills, life transitions, perfectionism, to trauma and PTSD. At RM Psychotherapy, we are dedicated to helping you navigate these challenges and achieve your personal goals through a holistic and integrative approach.
Meet the Team
Rebecca Marcus, LCSW, Clinical Director and Founder
As an integrative and holistic Dating therapist on the Upper East Side, I help Millennial and Gen Z women navigate dating, relationships, trauma, and anxiety. I’m passionate about empowering women to overcome their worries and fears and create meaningful, lasting change to live the life they want. Together, we will explore “the why” behind patterns and behaviors while also working to improve, shift, and change them.
For over a decade, I’ve been working with my clients to guide and support them in developing self-awareness and building effective coping skills. I’m passionate about helping women break free from anxiety and stress while accessing their inner resilience, strength, and wisdom. If you are ready to find a new sense of confidence, enjoy fulfilling and meaningful relationships, and have purpose and joy in your life, I’m here to help you get there.
Much of my Relationship therapy work builds on the same attachment, communication, and emotional patterns that show up while dating on the Upper East Side.
When I’m not working, I enjoy practicing yoga, drawing, spending time in nature, and connecting with friends and family.
I’d love to chat with you! Schedule a consultation so we can start a conversation.
Blair Lieberman, LMSW Associate Psychotherapist
I operate from a position that a rich life depends upon having greater access to our inner world. This includes our most complex and difficult thoughts and feelings, as well as understanding the impact our experiences have had on our minds and bodies. I aim to create a warm, authentic connection with her clients that is free of judgment and oriented around individual needs.
Utilizing both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Person-centered approaches, I help individuals explore and accept the various parts of themselves, tolerate challenging emotions, gain insight into behavioral patterns, and develop effective coping mechanisms.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with people, as well as dancing, painting, cooking, and being in nature. You can see some of my art here.
