Karen Landmann, LCSW

Clinical Social Work/Therapist

About

i would love to chat with you! I am, of course, imperfect, but one thing that is true about me is that I really care, i love my work, and I am not too bad at understanding others. I have a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University and am writing my PhD dissertation at the same institution.  

I have worked in multiple venues over the last 25 years, always specializing in the clinical aspect of my work. I have special training in chronic illness and trauma and have written many articles in grass-roots and even prestigious journals and have presented at numerous national and international conferences. I can conduct therapy in English, Spanish, French, Russian, German, Dutch, and Portuguese. While I do have solid credentials, my biggest strengths are my warm heart, compassion, and genuine desire to help others. I am 150% dedicated to my work and will go the extra mile to help you heal. I am not afraid of challenging issues but also help people dealing with more frequent problems.

I have reviews posted on healthgrades.com, yelp.com, RateMDs.com, google, and alltherapist.com and can also provide you with non-confidential references. You can reach me at 917-488-8383 or KLandmann@me.com.  I would be honored to help you, but if you are not comfortable with me in the end, the highest ethical standards to which I adhere necessitate me making a referral to someone more suited to you. That being said: Life is a challenge--let's tackle it together!

Karen is great! Have been working with her for 4 months now and she has really helped me with my PTSD. I would highly recommend her!<br />
Karen is amazing. She doesn't make you feel like a test tube, she makes you feel like a person. Couldn't be more grateful
I feel empowered, relaxed, hopeful, and blessed after I chat with Karen. I feel really supported, and like I am in very capable hands. I cannot recommend her services enough. Not only do her education and experience stand for themselves, but her dedication to her clients shines so amazingly! I'm extremely impressed with how quickly I feel relief and the power to change. She genuinely cares, is very down to earth, and I feel safe with her. She's smart, confident, and quick. I'm SO grateful to have her support!
She's wonderful. Instantly made me feel valuable and confident. Great sense of humor
Karen is attentive and thorough while also making the time to spend one on one with you. Her relaxed style makes it easy to make good progress with her and feel good by the end of a session. Much more work for me to do!!
