Do any of you have a great therapist (especially if you live in NYC but since it’s mostly virtual now I guess that matters less). I’m wanting to switch mine and it can be so hard to find someone that you click with, so I thought maybe other women lawyers might have good recommendations for the kind of therapist that can address my needs (work stress, relationship issues relating to work and being overly competitive about things, etc). Please respond or DM me!

Beth Sonnenberg out of Northern NJ. Is doing virtuals now. She’s a life coach as well and I have gone to her on and off since law school. Has gotten me through the bar, a bonkers terrible law firm job, grief issues, fertility/miscarriage, has given career guidance, talked me through a rough pregnancy (essentially felt hungover for like 5 months)... she’s the real deal.

I liked Tina Henderson at City Therapy. She actually went to law school for a year before dropping out so she knows a bit about the stress involved. City Therapy also accepted a bunch of insurances and had a ton of therapists to choose from who are all virtual right now (I think).

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
