Sharon Fader (She/Her)

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience treating anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ+ issues including family building.

In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I specialize in Executive Functioning (EF) coaching for adults. My work focuses on helping clients improve organization, time management, emotion regulation, task initiation, and goal-setting. I have presented on EF at Columbia University Irving Medical Center’s Annual Conference in Cognitive Remediation.

At the Lieber Clinic at Columbia University, I specialized in treating adults with EF challenges, ADHD, and mood disorders, including psychosis. I was also a clinician in Columbia’s Faculty Practice.

I am a graduate of the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy’s Adult Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program and completed the Intensive Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program as well as the Eating Disorders, Compulsions, and Addictions Program at the William Alanson White Institute.

My practice focuses on creating a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore the patterns that may be limiting their capacity for a more fulfilling life. While therapy often begins with a focus on symptom relief, it frequently deepens into work that reconnects clients with powerful underlying emotions and long-standing relational dynamics.
