About Heather
Dr. Heather Gillman is a New York psychologist with 28 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar mood shifts, and relationship strain.
Her style is active and engaged rather than quiet and distant. She uses a mix of Jungian ideas and more direct therapies to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical change and deeper meaning at the same time.
She will offer observations and interpretations to help people see patterns and move forward.
Background and approach
In practice she draws on client-centered work to keep discussions rooted in each person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are used to address symptoms like panic, worry, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be suggested for emotion regulation and impulse control.
People typically come for stress, grief, addiction concerns, body image and eating issues, intimacy and sexual concerns, or struggles with self-esteem and shame. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, communication breakdowns, divorce and family problems. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from New York.
Her license is listed as NY Psychologist 016474. Appointments use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session time is scheduled based on availability.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness for change.

Approach and Online Options
Dr. Gillman combines Jungian Therapy with practical behavior-focused methods to address both inner meaning and everyday symptoms. Jungian Therapy looks at themes, symbols, and personal narrative to help people uncover deeper patterns that affect mood and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with strategies that reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, comfort level, and the issues they bring. That means trying different techniques, getting feedback, and adjusting the plan so it fits the person rather than forcing one method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work well when video bandwidth is limited or a quieter set-up is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while maintaining a consistent course of therapy.
