Sonia Brill, LCSW-Therapist in New York

From an early age, I felt a natural interest in understanding people in a deeper way. My curiosity began to grow as I listened to philosophical stories, observed different traditions and arts, and asked questions. These experiences led me to discover a career path where a thoughtful process allows me to guide adults through self-awareness, inner conflict, and pain, while discerning the self from mental health conditions.

Over the years, I have discovered that regardless of what motivates a person to begin therapy, they have all asked for and worked toward finding the hidden parts of the self and the emotional pain that goes unspoken until then.

I've been a therapist for over twenty years. I began my career at Bellevue Hospital, in the ER, in shelter services, and on inpatient units. Over time, my work shifted from hospital and community settings into private practice, where I now work primarily with women navigating mental health conditions such as anxiety, depresion, PTSD, and family rupture.

I'm a licensed therapist in New York and New Jersey, with a Master's degree from New York University and postgraduate training from the Urban Institute for Family Therapy at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, under the guidance of Dr. Evan Imber-Black, a longtime faculty member at the Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York.
