Anja Kreibaum
Psychotherapist and Relationship Coach
I’m a licensed psychotherapist in NYC and a professor of Psychology and Education at Columbia University, offering therapy for individuals and couples navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and relationship challenges.
​
With a global perspective and a warm, grounded style, I help adults break toxic patterns, build emotional resilience, and create more secure relationships.
​
Let’s work together to help you feel more confident, connected, and clear.
I provide Individual and Couples Psychotherapy as well as Relationship Coaching, available both virtually and in-person at my Manhattan office
I would describe my therapeutic style as warm, curious, and direct. My sessions are interactive and goal-oriented, with interventions and approaches primarily influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method for couples.
As a multiracial and multicultural woman with East Asian and European heritage, who has spent the last 15 years in the United States, I bring a diverse perspective to my practice.
My Specialties
With over a decade of experience, I’ve worked with a wide range of mental health concerns.
Living and practicing in NYC since 2013 has given me a deep understanding of how fast-paced, high-pressure environments can impact self-esteem, anxiety, and relationships.
​
Many of my clients grapple with anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or low self-esteem—challenges that, while difficult, can also spark meaningful growth and connection.

-
Relationship Counseling
-
Self-Esteem & Identity
-
Anxiety & Perfectionism
-
Racial/Cultural Identity
-
Life Transitions
-
Trauma (Childhood, Relational, Cultural)
