Isabelle Boundy (she/her)

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker and psychotherapist at Union Square Practice. I see teens, young adults, and pregnant & postpartum women struggling with adjustment, anxiety, depression, and other difficulties that often arise during major life transitions.

My approach is holistic and dynamic, rooted in relational theory-- a therapeutic perspective that emphasizes the critical role of our past and present relationships in mental health. I also use aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as well as trauma-informed and attachment-based interventions. When working with new moms and parent-infant dyads, I invite baby to join us in the baby-proofed therapy room to play, explore, and strengthen the bond between the parent and child.

I work collaboratively with patients to identify and target their most pressing concerns; then we explore their personal history to make crucial connections. I believe our past experiences and early relationships hold the data we need to help us better understand our present-day coping systems and internal narratives. With this insight, we can make lasting change within ourselves and our relationships.

I completed my Bachelor’s Degree at Barnard College, prior to earning my Masters in Social Work from Columbia School of Social Work. I completed my clinical training in parent-infant psychotherapy at The Motherhood Center of New York, and went on to complete the Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at the William Alanson White Institute. I am currently accepting new patients, both in person and virtually at Union Square Practice.

I would be happy to schedule a free phone consultation.
