Isabelle Bachrach, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychology fellow who earned her doctoral degree at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus. She completed her Master’s degree in Psychology at The New School for Social Research and her Bachelor’s degree at Eugene Lang College, The New School. Isabelle has trained in a range of clinical settings, including hospitals, outpatient community clinics, and private practice, and completed her predoctoral internship at the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (NYPSI). Her clinical experiences span working with adults, children, and couples from diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and identity backgrounds.

Her clinical focus is on treating individuals with interpersonal trauma, including histories of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse or neglect, familial enmeshment, and complex attachment difficulties. Isabelle also works with couples, including those in non-monogamous relationships. She is particularly passionate about working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, informed by her extensive professional experience. Isabelle’s therapeutic approach is rooted in relational psychodynamic principles, while integrating evidence-based psychodynamic treatments such as Transference-Focused and Mentalization-Based Psychotherapies, alongside behavioral interventions including CBT and DBT.

Isabelle’s therapeutic style is empathetic, supportive, and direct. She works collaboratively with patients to explore the impact of early relationships and life experiences on their present-day challenges, using the therapeutic relationship as a space for reflection, insight, and change. Whether working in a strictly psychodynamic or integrative framework, her goal is to help patients make the unconscious conscious, deepen their self-understanding, and create new possibilities for their relationships and lives.
