Diabetes-Focused Psychotherapy®
Helping People With Diabetes Thrive!
A therapeutic space that understands the emotional weight, everyday decisions, and relationship realities of living with diabetes.
Based in New York City Diabetes-Focused Psychotherapist Eliot LeBow LCSW, CDCES, who lives with Type I diabetes, integrates psychotherapy with specialized diabetes education to support adults, children, and families with the cognitive, emotional, and practical challenges of diabetes.
A more complete kind of support
Support for the emotional experience and day-to-day management of diabetes.
Diabetes affects routines, identity, relationships, confidence, and the ability to feel at ease in your own life. Therapy makes room to address the experience beneath the data.
Improved management
Develop personalized ways to manage the day-to-day demands of diabetes while protecting your well-being.
Stronger connection
Improve your relationships with your family, partner, and other support systems.
Meet the approach
A practice built around the realities you carry and manage every day.
Eliot developed Diabetes-Focused Psychotherapy® from five years of extensive hospital-based research, work with hundreds of individuals living with diabetes over the past two decades, and his personal experience of living with diabetes since 1977.
Personal insight, clinical care
Compassionate support for the whole person living with diabetes.
The work makes room for the details that matter: how diabetes affects your relationships, confidence, routines, choices, and sense of self.
