I believe the most fundamental aspect of therapy is the relationship between the client and counselor. Growth and change cannot take place without an empathetic, trusting and caring relationship. I work together with my clients to develop a safe, non-judgmental space to explore, understand and work through negative thought patterns, emotions and behaviors that can prevent the happiness and satisfaction with life that we all deserve. Together we will examine and foster your strengths, uncover ways to move past prior painful or traumatic experiences and problem-solve current life stressors to allow you to fully live the life you want.

Using authentic connection and skillful therapeutic strategy, I work with my clients to establish a safe environment for exploring the path that led to therapy. With direct and honest feedback I can help you build the awareness necessary to move toward a more fulfilling life, and learn the skills you'll need to take on, and find meaning in, inevitable challenges. Because each person carries a unique history and specific challenges, I am trained in a number of psychological theories including psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, DBT, ACT, Somatic Experiencing ®, and CPT.

There are many reasons to pursue therapy. Whatever brought you here, you've taken a first step toward changing your life for the better. I work with adults and couples struggling with relationships and intimacy, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I specialize in the treatment of addictions (including substances, technology and work) and eating disorders. Drawing from psychodynamic and CBT treatment modalities, I help the individuals I work with develop insight into the obstacles that stand in the way of leading joyful, fulfilling lives.

I believe most psychological pain stems from a disconnection with one’s sense of purpose and meaning. In times of physical and mental stress, we often stray from our values and what brings us joy. Therapy serves as an integrative process that allows for a reconnection with what brings you a sense of meaning. Therapy allows you to heal through feeling heard and understood. My role is to guide you through the tough spots on your journey to help you continue on your desired path.

I have a unique, interdisciplinary background as a seasoned and compassionate holistic psychotherapist (individual, couples, family), divorce/family mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach. I view and treat patients as whole people, integrating Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, wellness, and Buddhist principles into a tailored holistic approach. Together, these approaches help patients understand and change how their thoughts and emotions impact their behavior. As a mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach, I am committed to helping people avoid court and resolve their differences sensibly and compassionately. I am passionate about minimizing the negative effects of divorce and separation by fostering effective coparenting.

In New York City, it is not uncommon to find yourself stressed and overwhelmed. You might be worried about your career, struggling in your relationship, feeling lonely, or just feeling stuck. When encountering such difficulties, people often come to therapy in order to find out what's wrong and feel better.

I strive to provide a therapeutic environment where clients feel not only safe and non-judged but also truly seen and heard. I believe that securing a trusting and genuine bond with my clients is of utmost importance before any real therapy can begin. I work collaboratively with clients to help them understand themselves more deeply and evoke meaning in their challenges so that they can ultimately live life more fully and authentically. I provide the support needed for clients to begin taking steps outside of their comfort zones and toward facilitating the changes that they wish to see.

Welcome! As an NYC-based psychotherapist, I offer a warm, empathetic, genuine approach to all my clients. I’m interested in connecting deeply with my clients and understanding their life stories, past traumas, relationships, and identities. It is my belief that therapy is a collaborative process and that you are the expert of your own story. I imagine you in the driver's seat and me in the passenger seat, with you every step of the way, holding the map and offering guidance and support, but understanding that the real growth comes from you.

The pursuit of happiness doesn't have to be "work". Many myths and fallacies about psychotherapy are built around images of weakness and sadness. My responsibility to you is to guide you through the fear, trauma and anxiety that stop you from finding your path to happiness. Together we can achieve a level of comfort, intimacy and freedom which will allow you to live your life to the fullest, in your relationships with family, friends, loved ones as well as yourself. It doesn't have to be hard, it just has to be authentic and heart felt.

I believe in drawing from a wide range of approaches and theories, but always grounded in psychodynamic understanding, focusing on what is best suited to each person in their own therapy. I know that a trusting relationship must be the foundation of any therapeutic process if it is to be productive, and this is the kind of environment I try to create for all of my clients. I am engaged and interactive, and I work with a wide range of clients with varying backgrounds and issues.

I am a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, hypnoanalyst, coach, marriage/couple and sex therapist, and systemic family constellations therapist. I have ca. 25 years of professional experience in various techniques of psychotherapy, couples counseling, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, relaxation, and body-mind techniques. Having a large international clientele, I am a well-established online coach and therapist as well. I provide clinical supervision to professional psychotherapists, counselors, and psychotherapy interns. For more information, please, check out my website: www.drannafekete.com
