About Eliot
A clinician who understands diabetes from the inside.
Eliot LeBow, LCSW, CDCES, brings together psychotherapeutic care, specialized diabetes education, and a personal history of living with Type 1 diabetes.
A safe environment
A therapeutic relationship begins with room to be heard.
My journey as a person living with diabetes helps my understanding of what you’re going through, but I also understand that what you are going through is unique to you. Our therapeutic relationship will begin in my office in person or virtually; we will create a non-bias space where you will be listened to and heard.

A personal and clinical perspective
Living with Type 1 diabetes.
Eliot LeBow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) who lives with Type 1 diabetes. His approach to therapy recognizes that diabetes is not only a medical diagnosis; it is a day-to-day experience that can influence mood, identity, relationships, decisions, and the way a person imagines the future.
Through Diabetes-Focused Psychotherapy®, Eliot helps adults, children, and families explore the emotional, cognitive, and day-to-day demands of diabetes. The work is designed to make space for what may be difficult to explain in a routine medical setting and to build support that fits a patient’s real world.
Based in New York City, Eliot offers in-person sessions on the Upper West Side and online sessions for people in and outside of New York State. He welcomes a conversation about whether this specialized kind of support is appropriate for you or your family.

The philosophy
Diabetes care needs room for the whole person.
The goal is not simply to talk about diabetes. It is to understand how diabetes interacts with the rest of your life, so that you can make informed, empowered choices without losing sight of your relationships, priorities, and sense of self.
