All Therapists > Aily Tanaka Nash

Aily Tanaka Nash is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist at Rose Hill Psychological Services who works with adults, adolescents, and groups. She is currently an LP candidate at Pulsion Institute. She received a BA from Bard College, an MA from CUNY Graduate Center, and is a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies at Harvard University. She brings to her analytic practice over a decade of experience curating, teaching, and facilitating within the film and visual arts communities.  

Informed by this background, Aily is interested in how aesthetic experience and the poetic dimensions of language can be explored with patients. She is sensitive to how questions around race, class, sexuality, and gender show up in patients' lives and welcomes patients from diverse and non-normative backgrounds. In her practice, she listens without judgment and encourages patients to speak freely so that they can hear their own desires. She works collaboratively with patients to make meaning out of aspects of their lives that feel conflicting, confusing, or overwhelming. She specializes in working with patients who live with anxiety, melancholia, and alienation related to diasporic or immigrant experiences. Her research considers how non-Western ways of being can inform the psychoanalytic process.
