Toby Faye Mailman , LCSW

Toby Faye Mailman is a New York State licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who has worked with individual adults since 2001. She earned her degree from New York University and brings decades of experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career concerns, and many other life transitions. Her practice also addresses specialized issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, first responder concerns, and substance use-related difficulties.

Toby approaches therapy as a collaborative process that begins with building a trusting therapeutic relationship. She draws on a range of modalities to meet each person’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, body-centered work, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. She pays careful attention to cultural context and to how ethnicity, culture, and sexual orientation can shape a person’s experience and treatment goals.

In her work she favors regularly scheduled sessions held weekly or every other week, with clear communication about scheduling and rescheduling. Her style emphasizes identifying and strengthening existing resources while introducing new skills and perspectives to help clients resolve dilemmas, reduce distress, and move toward more satisfying daily life and relationships.
