I’m Elise Del Rio, licensed psychotherapist & reiki master serving NYC adult individuals and couples on their healing paths.

The folks I get to build community with, the clients I get to accompany through the most brutal and beautiful times of their lives… those moments, holding ceremony with people’s hearts. The generosity, the grace, the strength! I get to witness and hold these tender moments each day I step into my office. I am profoundly moved and inspired by the people I serve. I always say I have the best job in the world. I have the profound privilege of shepherding folks along their highest path of creation and transformation.

“Creating a deliberate space full of love & meticulous attention is the honour of my life.”

  • I aim to first create a space of sanctuary for all beings who enter. I then make space for and deeply acknowledge your ancestry and each person you call family who enters the room with you, energetically.

  • I thrive working with those who consider themselves “sensitive souls” or deeply feeling individuals or couples. I use a range of techniques and approaches to uproot, offer, reflect and dissect ways of being that are hindering folks in the subconscious cycles of life.

    I use what I call “therapeutic journeying” to unlock and disentangle the stories and belief systems that hinder or prevent someone from experiencing the profundity of their being.

    The experience of therapeutic journeying will profoundly shift memories, internal states, support dysregulation and catapult the participant into the present with compassion and ease they have yet to know.

  • In my life, I am constantly working to grow and expand. I truly believe one is never done expanding. Currently, the loudest identity I hold is my motherhood. I am the proudest parent around, and my two children have transformed my life into a space of expansive love I never thought possible. I love working with parents, birthing parents and mothers, especially parents on the journey to parenthood and specifically with birthing parents navigating postpartum and restoration after birth.

    A Client’s reflection of work with Elise

  • "I felt held in a space of love and grounded presence. Elise's intuition is on point as Elise knew where my energy was blocked and how to gently guide it back into balance. I felt layers of tension dissolve, replaced by a sense of calm and clarity. As if I put down a heavy bag I did not realize I was carrying. What really stood out most was her compassion and the safety she created, allowing me to fully relax and receive. While we had discussed what we wanted to work on there were some surprises during session. And it was beautiful. It exceeded my expectations in every way. I can't recommend Elise Del Rio Sherman enough. Her gift is real, and the impact is lasting. I look forward to my next session."
