But if you've spent years putting everyone else first, it might feel like you do. Maybe you say "yes" when you mean "no." Maybe you avoid conflict even when it costs you. Maybe you feel guilty for wanting basic things like recognition or support.
Here's what I know: caring for yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary for authentic relationships.

About
Meet Gail
I'm Gail Barsky, a Licensed Psychoanalyst in NYC. As I began exploring therapy for myself, I discovered what was missing: connection to my own feelings and needs. Self-prioritization isn't about abandoning others. It's about caring for yourself while still caring for others. I specialize in helping people rediscover their voice without losing their connections.

After years of prioritizing others, it’s time to focus on you. Therapy can help you establish healthy boundaries and regain your voice.

My Practice
When you’re learning to value your own needs, you deserve a therapist who isn’t distracted, someone who is supportive, empathetic and curious. Someone who will help you tolerate the uncertainty and challenges that arise. Someone who will be there with you.
How I Work
I’m trained in relational psychoanalytic therapy, which means I believe healing happens through genuine connection. Our relationship becomes a space where you can be authentic without fear of judgement or rejection. Being seen and heard in this way enables you to find your own voice.
