When They Don’t Understand What You’re Going Through, I Will.
Specializing in lawyer stress, generalized anxiety, and family rupture in New York.
Compassionate therapy for professional women.
I’m Sonia Brill, a psychotherapist based in New York City. My practice mainly offers therapy where professional expertise and personal experience intersect: supporting women lawyers in overcoming chronic stress and other symptoms, and women who are dealing with anxiety and relationship rupture. I understand how scary and overwhelming these experiences can feel, and we talk about them honestly.
New York and New Jersey residents can work with me through individual therapy. I also offer consultations for newer clinicians and mid-career therapists. Presently, I facilitate an intimate cohort for thoughtful therapists and other clinicians.

Women who work with me are capable at work, with family, and in their relationships. They've built real success, in part, by pushing through instead of stopping.
Often, women come to look at what's underneath the competence, not just white knuckle their way through the week.
That shift, from managing to understanding, requires something different than they've had before. I notice patterns, ask direct questions, and stay with what's actually there, rather than what's easiest to say out loud.
Often, women take on more work when they'd rather say no. But setting a boundary doesn't always work, especially when there are deadlines and petitions to file, or a bedtime tantrum to manage.
Trying to "get through it" may be necessary, but in the long run, it's more helpful to understand how these pressures interfere with a woman's psychology, how they impact her biology, and how they run in the background, creating anxiety and habitual overwhelm. When there is understanding, there can be a clear plan.
What I help women with isn't just how to make the anxiety less overwhelming. I ask something different: what might this anxiety be protecting her from?

I have worked with Sonia. She helped me look deeper within myself and get to the emotions behind my issues. She helped me transform and grow as a person and challenged me along the way. Thank you Sonia- I am grateful. Highly recommend working with Sonia if you have the chance.
