Therapists in 10001

Family members often call me to help intervene on a family member and help them start a path to recovery. I have been sober for more than 12 years. I am certified as an interventionist, trained in the ARISE method, and also a certified addiction recovery coach. We can intervene on a family member in a matter of days, and we can start them on successful recovery this week.

We usually seek therapy because we're interested in change. Sometimes it’s to change something specific—how we interact with a particular person, a way in which we cope with stress, or our feelings toward some life event. Other times we aim for larger transformations, looking to increase our self-awareness, or to achieve more truth and meaning in our relationships or careers. Whatever your reason, finding the right support is an important first step. As your therapist, I'll meet you with curiosity, warmth, and respect, and work to create an authentic space where we'll reflect on ways forward toward a fuller, more balanced life.

In the words of Brene Brown, “vulnerability is not weakness, it is our greatest measure of courage”. Therapy success rates are often dictated by the 'ideal client-therapist fit'. Whatever your concern is, let’s talk it through and see if we are a good fit to collaboratively work through the challenges that you are facing. Throughout the therapy process clients should feel heard, validated, proactively motivated, and empowered. With each patient I utilize a case-specific approach, tailoring evidence-based clinical modalities for a customized and effective therapy experience.

Our practice, NYC Cognitive Therapy, includes a staff of male and female therapists with intensive post-graduate training in cognitive-behavior therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most widely researched and evidence-based form of therapy. CBT has been shown in more than one thousand studies to be effective in treating a wide range of psychological problems. CBT is active and teaches you the tools to be your own therapist. You are not alone and we are available to help you feel better. We also practice Gottman Method Couple Therapy, Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT).

As a therapist I work collaboratively to further existing strengths and overcome difficulties that cause people to seek help. Changes in relationships and careers, personal losses and new beginnings, help with long-term recovery, and maintaining emotional balance are some of the issues that benefit from psychotherapy. I seek to provide an atmosphere of attentive listening, safe expression of thoughts and feelings, and gentle suggestions to initiate change. I work well with young and mature adults, graduate students, parents, artists and creative professionals, and anyone who seeks to integrate insight with action to generate change.

For over a decade as a psychotherapist in several settings, I have witnessed insurmountable suffering when mental illness remains untreated. As an addict, you may feel powerless; that your life is unmanageable and consequences are escalating. Allow me to help you recover and explore what your life has to offer when you let go of shame, guilt and self-judgement. Transformation occurs in recovery as you move from isolation and despair, to a life of freedom and joy with endless possibilities. As a somatic practitioner, I use body felt-senses as well as a psychodynamic approach to help resolve traumas and increase your resiliency.

As an Advanced Certified Core Energetics Practitioner, I work with clients who are looking for a better way of being and living. We often have challenges with depression, anxiety, shame, fear, and traumas, and some of us look for something more out of life, asking, "Is this all there is?" Talk therapy can be valuable in gaining a cognitive understanding of WHY you feel as you do, and it can provide some relief. But how much does it change your lived experience? Core Energetics involves work processing thoughts, feelings, and emotions through your body in a way that releases "stuckness" and energy for purposes that you direct.

Hello! I'm Dr. Brian Freidenberg. In therapy, I place the therapeutic relationship above all else. The relationship is the vehicle for change. I believe that a good therapist listens well; is empathic; and provides a safe, empowering, and judgement-free environment. The client and I form a partnership to help the client navigate this great adventure called life. My primary areas of expertise are ADDICTIONS (e.g., substances, sex, video games, phone, social media), ANXIETY, CHILDHOOD and ADOLESCENCE, COLLEGE students, VETERANS, RELATIONSHIPS, TRAUMA, GROUPS, PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, and COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY.

I have experience working with diverse clients and approach talk therapy with curiosity, warmth, and an authentic interest in the lives of others. It is my strongly held belief that meaningful change happens when folks are supported in their self-discovery, recognizing that they are the expert in their own experience.

At times in life, we find ourselves overwhelmed; in states of persistent mental or emotional distress, stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, and questioning which path best serves us. With greater consciousness of our patterns of thought, feeling and behavior, we can develop the capacity to meet these moments with the wisdom of our whole selves. By connecting more fully to our emotions, we can access our innate healing process and move towards greater integration. In honoring your unique story, we can explore how life’s suffering may be pointing you towards greater wholeness and a life of meaning.

The therapeutic relationship is a unique and powerful one that can bring insight and transformation into a person’s life. From the start of my career, my ambition has been to work with people in a variety of ways to assist them in identifying and reaching their goals, better understand themselves based on their lived experience, and collaborate together to achieve the changes they want and need to see in their lives. I have significant experience working with mood and anxiety-related issues, substance use problems, personality disorders, and folks who have experienced trauma, both single-episode and complex trauma.

Throughout the course of life, one is bound to combat various obstacles. With support and guidance, anyone can overcome these difficulties. Beginning the journey of therapy is a monumental step towards wellness. It requires true vulnerability to allow someone to listen to your experiences. This is one of the reasons I thoroughly enjoy providing therapy. My goal is to assist you in achieving wellness through a collaborative approach designed specifically for you.

Life can be stressful and times are ever-changing! If you're feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed, you're not alone. I believe that every challenging situation or time in life allows us to learn more about ourselves that will improve our overall well-being and adaptability. I am dedicated to providing support that will be personal, set in real life, non-judgmental, and effective. I am committed, reliable, and empathetic to the needs of each unique person. My counseling style is warm, interactive, light, and motivated.

I use a client-centered approach allowing you to build upon your strengths and explore fears, doubts, goals, and desires in a non-judgmental space. Using a method which integrates narrative therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic theory, I can help manage a range of challenges: depression, anxiety, questions of identity, relationships, and life transitions. I bring warmth, thoughtfulness, and a sense of humor to my sessions. My goal is to guide you towards relief and opportunities for change. Ultimately, our work will help you step into your most authentic self.

My primary goal as a therapist is to help you become the best and most whole version of yourself. I offer an integrative approach to psychotherapy that employs insight and reflection (Psychodynamic Therapy) as well as active coping skills and goal-setting (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I am also trained in Integrative Harm Reduction Therapy for those struggling with addictive and compulsive behaviors. Further, I believe lifestyle interventions around nutrition, exercise, meditation, and spirituality can be valuable tools for psychological well-being and I help my clients cultivate positive habits in these areas if applicable.

Making changes in one’s life can be daunting without support. In practice in NYC/NJ for over twenty-five years, I help clients find solutions for issues including but not limited to coping and recovery from anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, as well as conflicts in the workplace. I use a range of approaches: it may be solution-focused, psychodynamic, and/or Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment (CBT) depending upon your goals and needs. A career transition specialist, I use the MBTI to help clients create a plan of action to find a more satisfying direction.
