About Dr. Lily Konowitz
Dr. Lily Konowitz is a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of older adolescents, college students, young adults, and parents. Her clinical work focuses on anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, emotion regulation, perfectionism, and life transitions.
She works with clients who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their goals, helping them develop the skills and insight needed to create meaningful, lasting change.
What therapy with Dr. Konowitz is like
Dr. Konowitz believes therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, individualized, and active. She works with clients to better understand the thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and patterns that contribute to distress while developing practical strategies for responding in new ways.
Her goal is not simply to reduce uncomfortable symptoms, but to help clients build greater psychological flexibility and move toward the relationships, activities, and goals that matter most to them.
Clinical approach
Grounded in evidence, shaped by the client.
Dr. Konowitz’s approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and integrates principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Depending on each client’s needs, therapy may include developing new behavioral skills, increasing awareness of thoughts and emotions, strengthening emotion regulation, responding differently to anxiety or compulsive patterns, and taking values-guided action.
