Therapists in 06905

As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with children and adults, I offer compassionate, seasoned psychotherapy services in a broad, insurance-based practice. The client determines the goals we will work on, and I adapt what we do together to the wishes and needs of each person who consults me. I work with adults suffering with depression, trauma, anxiety, life adjustment issues and parenting skills. I have spent a significant portion of my career working with children and adolescents with a variety of emotional and behavioral issues. I am bilingual in Spanish.

As a therapist, I feel strongly that adolescents, children and their parents, can overcome obstacles and increase life satisfaction not only as individuals but also as families. Many of the problems, both social and academic, that children and adolescents face today stem from difficulties managing emotions. This takes shape in a variety of ways; temper tantrums and moodiness, low tolerance for frustration, hyperactivity, limited attention, poor social skills, low self-esteem, defiance of authority, lack of direction and motivation, substance use, and a decline in academics. I can assist individuals and families in developing strategies to reduce these disruptive symptoms.

My practice is dedicated to helping substance abusers and trauma victims heal and live joyful lives. Therapy allows us to sort through our emotional lives in an environment of safety. I utilize motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR and guided imagery to assist clients to lean into the hurt and move on from it. We will work together to increase your awareness of what blocks you from living the life you want and then have the confidence to achieve that life.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling, happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I'm here to support and empower you! Let's work together to strengthen your cognitive and emotional skills, decrease symptoms of mental illness, and explore realistic coping skills to reduce stressors.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker providing individual therapy to adults who are looking to establish and maintain positive growth in their lives. My focus is on treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, and trauma. My goal is to help you identify obstacles and to find the tools and skills to conquer them, all while encouraging ourselves to be human and authentic in the therapeutic process. I create a non-judgmental environment to explore life’s challenges and find methods to tackle stress and change with confidence and strength.

If you're consumed by feeling stuck and unhappy, it makes sense to seek help. Anxiety, depression, anger, conflict, sadness...all can be addressed, alleviated and/or well managed. Even if you struggle with significant health issues, challenging relationships, or other difficult life circumstances, there are paths to relief and greater happiness. In a welcoming, and non-judgemental setting, I invite you to discuss whatever is weighing on you. We will first define your goals, and by working together, address them. You will gain clarity, new perspectives, and better coping skills. You will leave feeling clearer, better, and stronger.

I am a Marriage & Family Therapist located in a comfortable, professional mid-city setting. The therapeutic process can be helpful when you are experiencing disruptive stress during a difficult event or time in your life; relationship struggles, marriage, new family formation, job transition, job loss, retirement, divorce, relocation, aging, trauma, or death of a loved one. Together, we will identify barriers, manage change, look at relationship dynamics, and cope with loss during this time. I work with individuals, couples and families with specialized training in couple and family therapy. I accept appointments only with daytime, evening and weekend hours.

In my 15 years of practice as a clinical psychologist, I have worked with adults and adolescents, as well as couples and families treating issues of adjustment, self-doubt, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and marital and parenting difficulties. I believe that healthy relationships are at the center of our emotional well-being and that an empathic relationship between client and therapist is essential to any treatment relationship. I provide such an environment so my clients feel comfortable confronting and working through the challenging issues that bring them into therapy.

Finding the right therapist for you or your child may feel or actually be hard to navigate, and even anxiety producing for some. So many options and often little guidance on how to find the "right" person. I view therapy as a collaborative, relationship driven experience. I spend time getting to know and understand you and your unique history and experiences. And from there, together, we create a therapeutic space where you can feel at ease and safe to move toward deeper inner wisdom and a better quality of life.

Sometimes we face challenges and experience setbacks that seem overwhelming. You can learn to manage life’s ups and downs and improve your overall satisfaction and well being with the right tools and guidance. Taking the first step is the hardest part of changing the things that aren’t working. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity for several things, including: relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress; healing from past and present hurts and abuses; and personal growth and change.

After more than twenty-five years as a practicing attorney, I retrained as a pastoral psychotherapist. I chose this approach because I believe that we are all spiritual beings and in order to experience emotional healing and growth, it is important to attend to that which gives meaning to our lives, however we choose to express it. My experience as an attorney, along with my career transition, give me a unique perspective on the way challenging life experiences, even desirable ones, may impair emotional wellbeing. I am able to assist with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and loss.

I have a doctorate in clinical psychology and a master's in social work. I attained my degrees from the UC Berkeley, Fordham University, and Saybrook University. I have experience providing treatment to individuals, couples, and families. My areas of interest include: mood and anxiety disorders and relationship concerns. I also offer counseling to individuals struggling with ADHD, learning, and other school related issues. I strive to provide exceptional services by adopting a practical approach, utilizing cognitive behavioral and other therapeutic methods to meet the unique needs of each client.

Over the last eight years, I’ve worked alongside my clients to improve their mental wellness via counseling, education and advocacy. My goal is to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients and to help you feel seen, heard and understood.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work with children, adolescents, parents, and individuals in the pregnancy and postpartum period. In addition to my private practice, I am a psychologist in New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center's pediatric psychiatry department. With warmth and sensitivity, I aim to form a strong therapeutic relationship from which desired change can be effectively achieved. You may be feeling stressed by the demands of your parenting role, life transitions, or by your child’s complicated behavioral and emotional needs.

With over 33 years as a seasoned psychologist, I offer a relaxed, laid-back style that produces real results using a nonjudgmental and caring atmosphere. I provide solution-oriented therapy with useful feedback that addresses issues important to you. This includes help with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, intimacy issues, stress management, grief/loss, codependency, self-esteem and life transitions. Whatever your needs, you will leave our sessions really feeling "understood".

If you are upset or suffering emotionally, I can help you achieve a helpful perspective on what you are going through, and construct a meaningful plan for recovery. I listen carefully to my clients and interact supportively. I assist in the exploration of problems to gain insight and to design therapeutic strategies to relieve symptoms and resolve conflict. Deciding on an appropriate intervention, I draw from major schools of psychological knowledge to integrate best practices and to individualize treatment.
