I believe in the idea that we, as therapists, can collaborate with clients to help them discover and reveal themselves in a safe, nonjudgmental space. By cultivating self-awareness and compassion, I seek to help clients explore their own experiences, alleviate fear, and move in the direction of their own choosing and calling. I believe that each person has the capacity to improve their mental health, their wellbeing, and by extension the lives of countless others.
I am inspired to support clients with anxiety, depression, body image, disordered eating, identity, life stage transitions, interpersonal relationships, sexuality, parenting, family conflict, attachment, loss, and grief. By not taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I keep the clients and their interests at the center.
Reaching out to a therapist can feel challenging, but I invite you to take the first step toward caring for yourself. I look forward to meeting you where you are and moving forward together.
Therapy can feel incredibly overwhelming for a variety of reasons – whether it is your first session, or your hundredth.
My goal as a therapist is to make you feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I greatly value the relationship I have with each of my clients, as it sets the foundation for the success of the work we will do together. I tailor my approach uniquely to each of my clients, but woven through all my sessions and interactions is a mix of compassion, encouragement, psychoeducation, and sometimes a little bit of humor (life is hard enough, don’t you think?).

The struggles you are facing are overwhelming enough – therapy shouldn’t have to be. Let’s work together to improve your quality of life and reach your goals.
At her private psychiatry practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, Eileen DiFrancesco, MD, cares for people ages 12 and older in a welcoming, compassionate setting.
Dr. DiFrancesco is a skilled, board-certified psychiatrist who also specializes in neurology. She takes a traditional, integrative approach to treating patients for common mental health conditions. Her philosophy is that a healthy brain is key for well-being, balance, and optimal functioning. Making an accurate diagnosis is the most important first step in treating patients. Treatment must be tailored to the needs of each individual. She recognizes that both genetics and environment contribute to mental health and illness; genetics predispose individuals to certain mental disorders; however, parenting, peer integration, environment, and life experiences all factor in to determine the outcome. An assessment of all of these factors is used to create a treatment plan for each individual.
She graduated with honors with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Dr. DiFrancesco received her medical degree at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University in Philadelphia, where she had additional training in neurology and psychology.
She completed residency training at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. Afterward, she worked as a medical director of the Learning Laboratory, a private facility in Connecticut.
Dr. DiFrancesco offers comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, genetic testing, brain imaging, psychotherapy, and more. As part of her consultative services, she provides a complete analysis of a patient’s brain health to minimize environmental and genetic contributors to mental illnesses. As a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry and psychopharmacology, Dr. DiFrancesco is able to prescribe medication for mental disorders. The decision to medicate a patient is very serious and requires an intensive understanding of the individual and the underlying neurobiology.
Dr. DiFrancesco is active in her community and has received many awards for outstanding leadership and commitment to the psychiatry profession. She’s an honored member of the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP).
She received Top Doctor of the Year in Psychiatry and Neurology, Top Female Visionary of the Year, Top Female Executive and has been featured in Top Industry Professionals Magazine, Humanitarian of the Year, Top Doctor of the Year, Top 10 Doctor by State, Patients’ Choice Award, Most Compassionate Doctor Award, Outstanding Professional of the Year, and many other esteemed lists.
Dr. DiFrancesco is also a lifetime member of America’s Registry of Outstanding Professionals based on achievement, leadership, and dedication to her profession.

I am dual board certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist. I see clients from age 12 and up. People come to treatment for all sorts of reasons — anxiety, depression, trauma, difficulty functioning at work or school, family conflict, challenges in relationships, low self-esteem, or simply a desire to learn more about themselves. As a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist with expertise in both medication management and psychotherapy, I can help patients develop a treatment plan that meets their needs. My style is guided by warmth and flexibility, with the goals of helping patients build insight and reduce symptoms.
I create individualized treatment plans, assessing patients' goals, unique life experiences, and biological risk factors. While medication is useful in some cases, I am dedicated to helping my patients achieve lasting change through therapy as well.
