Therapists in 07020

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist working with adolescents and adults who are experiencing difficult life changes and stages. I practice psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy and work on a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and grief. I obtained my Masters in Clinical Social Work from New York University, with a concentration in Mental Health and Art Therapy. Before I became a Psychotherapist I attended the Moscow Academy of Industrial and Applied Arts, at which I received a Master degree in Fine Arts and Interior Design.

I love to work with people who juggle multiple cultures: your original one and evolving one. You might be here as an international student or on business. You might be here to raise a family but feel like you don't belong. You might be raised by 1st generation Asian parents. You might be in a relationship where you and your partner come from different cultural backgrounds. Do you often choose silence to avoid conflict in a relationship? Do you feel you are taken lightly because you are from different country or culture? I work with clients individually as well as with intercultural and interracial couples.

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is a structured and goal-oriented approach that allows you to restructure your thoughts and help you express your feelings proactively. CBT can help you 1 - become aware of your thoughts, emotions and beliefs, 2- Identify negative/unhealthy thoughts, 3 - Replace negative thoughts with healthy ones. I monitor your progress and provide clear feedback on your growth and progress.

My work is collaborative and interactive and includes involvement in all systems associated with the patient as necessary.

Consultant & certified EMDR therapist treating trauma.

Hello! My name is Angelina. I go beyond labels to focus on the individual, taking a holistic, person-centered approach to treatment. I specialize working with individuals experiencing major life transitions, trauma, grief/loss and scary but exciting new beginnings. I help individuals discover the great wisdom and truth that they have already hidden within them! No matter where in your life you are struggling, together we will establish a personalized care plan. With compassion, experience, skill, and a bit of humor; I aim to help my clients get out of their own way and achieve greater satisfaction with their life and relationships.

My ideal client would be a client looking for a well rounded, non-judgmental, real, and down to earth female therapist that is fully engaged and committed to their (hashtag) MentalWellness journey. I like to take a collaborative approach with my clients to provide objective guidance assisting with identifying their needs conducive towards their goals to achieve what they want for themselves. Especially to channel positive energy in session to transfer momentum for my client to see the best version they see in themselves. That’s what I can best serve my clients who are looking to work off that structure to best meet their needs.

I believe that you should feel comfortable with your therapist. The process can be scary, joyful, painful, or wonderfully exhilarating, and I strive to provide a warm, accepting atmosphere in which you can undertake this work. If you feel comfortable, you will feel more hopeful and ready for change. We will work together to make the changes you need.

If you are feeling that you need and/or want to change something for the better, that is wonderful! It means that you are already one step ahead and very resilient. If you don’t know how to change and what to change, you don’t need to worry. I am here to guide you throughout your journey in order to build a more satisfying and peaceful life.

With couples, I teach effective and respectful communications. If couples cannot talk to each other with kindness and respect, little can be accomplished. I do take sides, and I name names. Not all issues are 50-50. In fact, most are not. It is important for both members of the couple to understand and realize why they are in crisis, and the role that each party plays. Only then, can each person do the work they need to do alone (in front of their partner).

If you are reading this, you are looking to make changes in your life. The three areas where I can help you make the changes you are looking for, even if you do not yet know the specifics yourself, are changing how you feel, changing specific behaviors, and changing patterns of thought. I like to work quickly and honestly, but I will tailor your therapy to your individual needs. What this means is that you will be given a safe and judgment free space in which to examine and execute the changes that will lead to a happier and more enjoyable life.

Life is challenging and it's not surprising that many of us struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulty making decisions and building healthy relationships. Many of us have received the message that we aren’t “good enough”. These messages can come from many different sources and it can be difficult not to internalize these unhealthy belief systems. We will work together to get a better understanding of how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors have been impacted by past and present experiences and what you can do to not allow these negative experiences define who you are today.

Have you experienced trauma? Are you navigating through a breakup or divorce? Do you need help with a difficult or complicated relationship? Is your teenager experiencing bullying, social anxiety, or other difficulties in school? Are you concerned that your teenager may be self-harming? Are you a college student struggling to keep it all together? Are you experiencing loss or grief? Are you a survivor of neglect, abuse, or sexual assault? Did you have a difficult childhood? Do you have an unhealthy relationship with your family? Are you in recovery? Are you or a loved one facing medical challenges or an upsetting diagnosis?

I help people access their potential. By empowering and supporting you, you will find freedom from the pain of old wounds, recovery from trauma and gain new ways of coping and relating. Central to this work will be the relationship between therapist and client, which evolves within a safe and compassionate space, within which you will find the courage to explore your concerns without feeling pushed or pathologized.

There is a lot that pulls you in a thousand directions as a mom. You're expected to run a seamless household, support your family, spend time with friends, and look good while doing it all. Advice from family and friends doesn't help much, and instead it leaves you more confused. Your older family members suggest parenting with a heavy hand how you were raised, but that doesn't feel good to you, or your kids. You wonder... how is it that other mothers seem to have it all together? You can allow motherhood to take over your well-being, or you can get support from a licensed therapist - who looks like you and totally gets it.

If you are a person experiencing interpersonal conflicts and/or mental health diagnoses, such as, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders and a variety of other diagnoses. I can be of great assistance to you. I believe that everyone deserves the best quality of life. I will work with individuals, couples, and families to develop a tailored treatment plan designed to provide a healthy lifestyle through effective healthy coping skills that we will work on together. Our sessions will be focused on achieving client's objectives, improving quality of life, easing day to day interactions and healthy lifestyle.

I’m an Brooklyn native, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and an active member of the American Counseling Association .I received my graduate degree from Fordham University and have a combined clinical studies and direct practice/ counseling for over 10 years. My experience supporting diverse cultures, from teenagers to elder adults has become my passion. It was through my own adversity, a time marked with loss, grief, healing and emotional growth; I found my inspiration & began the journey of helping others. Taima M. Elliott Counseling Service, PLLC emerged as a solace for all those in need.

I believe we all need unconditional support and compassionate understanding in navigating through life's unpredictable journey. I promote an empathic and positive therapeutic relationship between client and clinician that is respectful of the client's strengths and right to self-determination and encourages healing, self-awareness, and self-care. I also challenge the client to think out-of-the-box and explore the possibilities for growth and change in one's own thinking and circumstances. I am culturally sensitive and tailor therapy to the individual needs of the client as there is no one-size-fits-all therapeutic modality.
