Sabrina Tropper (She/her/hers)

I have a background working in child welfare with a wide variety of children and families impacted by trauma. In addition to my experience working with individuals and families impacted by trauma, I have also been trained in EMDR, a specialized trauma treatment for people with specific and or complex trauma.

While working at a psychiatric group practice in Downtown Manhattan, I had the pleasure of working with many adults diagnosed with ADHD. Many of these people were newly diagnosed, so much of the work we did focused on developing direct, concrete skills related to executive function difficulties combined with the emotional consequences of having untreated ADHD. Additionally, I have worked with many pre-teens and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety or depression.

As an EMDRIA certified Therapist, we’ll use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help you safely reprocess the memories and triggers that keep your nervous system on high alert. I also have training in other therapies, and will draw from a blend of somatic exercises, IFS (Internal Family Systems) informed parts work, and mindfulness techniques and tailor them to what works best for your individual system and circumstance. It is a highly individualized process.

Burnout isn't just about working too hard; it’s about a chronic mismatch between your environment and your nervous system. I offer a neuro-informed approach that honors how your brain actually works. Whether you are navigating a recent season of intense stress or a lifelong experience of neurodivergence (such as ADHD), we’ll move beyond simple "time management strategies" to deep emotional & energy management together.

I have a lot of experience (personal and professional) helping people struggling with chronic overwhelm, personal and professional exhaustion, and navigating neurodivergent (particularly ADHD) traits. Together, we’ll tackle the intersection of executive functioning issues and emotional exhaustion. By gaining a clear understanding of how your unique mind/brain processes stress, we’ll create systems to manage overwhelm, gain greater emotion regulation, and reclaim your vitality.

Burnout isn't just about working too hard; sometimes it’s about a chronic mismatch between your environment and your nervous system, and other times it's about carrying past life experiences that continue to have an effect on you presently. Sometimes it's both! My approach starts with regulating your nervous system, identifying deep-seated patterns that keep you stuck, and combining trauma-informed therapy with body-based, energy management system that works.
