Irene Zelterman

I specialize in working with people who have mood disorders, depression and anxiety. I have worked extensively with trauma survivors as well as people with eating disorder, and body image distortions. I have experience working with the LGBTQ community. I have many years of experience working with adult children who are caring for their aging parents and parents raising children with learning/emotional/developmental problems.

I provide longer and short terms therapy.

I believe in social and economic justice. I believe that everyone has value regardless of race, physical attributes, abilities or disabilities, education or intellectual levels. I accept and affirm people of all sexual orientations as well as transgender and sexual non-conforming people. I have extensive training in social issues such as racism, sexism and homophobia. I have extensive training in the field of aging as well as death and dying.

I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Hunter College. I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I continue to learn and improve my skills. I have received training in different schools of thought: psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I truly love my work and my mission is to make the world a better plan.
