Therapists in New York, NY

Ideal clients are open to change, introspection, and vulnerability. Therapy can be a scary process; We look at ourselves and our lives with the goals of making a change for the better, or maybe a deeper understanding of ourselves. It's my goal to build a relationship with you so we can explore yourself, and your life together, in a safe and enlightening way. It's my experience that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. Feeling safe with your therapist is paramount, and it's what I prioritize in my own practice. I want you to feel comfortable to be vulnerable, and explore yourself.

I am dedicated to helping individuals, children and families restore, rebuild and transform their lives for the better. After working in a variety of mental health settings, I can say with confidence that you are not alone in your struggles. It is my goal to create an environment of support, acceptance and to provide a place to regain balance and find hope.

I am passionate about my work and would be honored to help you get started on an enriching journey towards self-discovery and change. My focus is on individual psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis. I have some expertise in psychedelic integration and harm reduction for substance abuse and addiction. I mainly work with disorders related to anxiety, depression, complicated grief, attention issues, attachment and relational disorders, sexual trauma, work-life balance, and gender dysphoria. It is my goal to provide a safe and secure space to build a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which to navigate life's challenges.

Am I the only one that feels this way? Will my therapist understand what I am trying to communicate? Doubts about whether others will understand what or how you are feeling are common, particularly in communities of color, where mental health is often still taboo.

Welcome! My name is Beth Friedman, and I am glad you are here. Whether you are starting therapy for the first time or looking for a new fit, I would be happy to work with you to get yourself on the path to a fulfilled and happy life. I graduated with a major in Psychology and Psychoanalysis from Tel Aviv University and have a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Yeshiva’s Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. In addition, I completed various pieces of training that taught me how to become a Trauma-informed counselor and work with individuals with a history of trauma, substance use, anxiety, schizophrenia, and mood disorders.

I FOCUS ON MEN"S COUNSELING. Are you a man who feels stuck between anger and numbness? or feeling depressed and don’t know how to deal with it? Do you wish something would change in your relationships, but you don't know what to do or worried it might end? Whether married or divorced, are the roles of a father not what you expected? Men tend to isolate themselves when what they need is someone to talk to. Even if there isn’t a major life event or crisis, if a man has not had a warm, positive, well-attuned relationship with a father, a male therapist can help you uncover what's missing since childhood.

Are you overwhelmed, and struggling with anxiety, depression, or a significant life transition? Sometimes, it can be hard to get through this alone. If you want a warm, compassionate space where you can feel comfortable to share yourself and your goals, reach out.

Do you feel like you’re “stuck” in old unwanted patterns and feel unsure of how to get out? Perhaps you’re dealing with relationship and attachment issues, resurfacing childhood traumas, difficult life transitions or consistently putting yourself last. My mission as a therapist is to walk alongside and equip my clients with the tools to help heal themselves connecting body, mind and spirit.

Good therapy strikes a balance between compassion and challenge. How does the past influence daily life? What old patterns and programing run the show?.. and where is change necessary? I work with individuals, couples and families on issues of self esteem, trauma, depression and anxiety. I treat all ages including young people struggling with the stressors of adulthood; as well as older adults facing life changes. The first step in healing is a genuine and unconditional connection to a caring therapist. Reach out to start!

No matter who you are, where you are, or what stage you’re in, life can be so challenging. You don’t have to go through it alone. My aim as a therapist is to work together with you to create a validating and nonjudgmental space where you can process any emotions, feelings, fantasies, or the daily happenings of your life. I know self-exploration can feel overwhelming and scary, especially when discussing it out loud to someone else. I believe that the most impactful therapeutic relationships involve client self-determination and agency, where we collaborate as a team ensure you feel comfortable and safe every step of the way.

I believe people want meaningful and contented lives. Sometimes we are faced with challenges. It could be life transitions, struggles in relationships, work problems, anxiety, depression, or a need to develop insight and become more aware. If you wish to overcome obstacles, psychotherapy may be the solution. Together we will figure out ways to understand and resolve difficulties so that you will continue to reach your goals and aspirations.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I work with clients to help them feel their best self.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist/Neuropsychologist, I provide a nurturing, warm, and supportive environment in working with individuals and families.
