Therapists in 10010

Everyone has the capacity to improve their psychological states and emotional well being in significant ways. As a Certifed and Diplomate Cognitive Psychotherapist, I know that therapy is an effective way to bring about such change. Sensitively working within the structured Cognitive Therapy format. Through the modality of CBT, progress is made in a timely way. I am among the few Certified Cognitive Therapists practicing in the metro area currently. The Academy of Cognitive Therapy founded by Aaron Beck has certified only 700 mental health professionals to date, worldwide. I look forward to meeting you, working with you and facilitating your course of self improvement.

I specialize in helping people through loss, traumatic events, and life transitions. You may be stuck, feel out of control, or simply want a different life. Psychotherapy can be helpful in redefining how you relate to others and yourself, and in identifying your needs and nurturing these areas. I can introduce research-supported strategies for coping with difficult emotions, stress, or physical pain when a practical solution is appropriate. An ideal patient would also value an emotion-based and interpersonal approach to treatment; few things can predict the success of treatment like the strong bond between your therapist and you.

In my twenties, I saw a therapist who was completely silent (the traditional way) and wasn’t helpful at all. Then I saw another who was intellectually and emotionally “there” and changed my life. He inspired me to become a psychotherapist and to practice in a collaborative way that lands with my patients.

Good therapy guides you to a more secure relationship with yourself and with the world around you, so that you can reconnect with a sense of meaning and immediacy in life. I help people to improve emotional awareness which leads to better relationships, less anxiety, and more resilience. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, grief/loss, and relationship issues.

I offer video appointments for adults located anywhere in New York State. Whether you've done psychotherapy in the past or this is your first time looking, psychotherapy can be a rewarding experience. We might know what we'd like to change, and other times this might be less clear even though we want something different. Wherever you are on this continuum, I hope I can be of help to you in your search for change. Generally speaking, my style incorporates your talents, abilities, strengths, values, and creative interests - the elements that make you unique and that are not captured by a psychiatric diagnosis - in our work.

Encountering certain life experiences can be difficult, and we find ourselves struggling to overcome the obstacles. Learning how to respond and relate to our experiences can change how we navigate life and move toward what is meaningful and important. As a mental health clinician, my work aims to provide adults and older adolescents with comprehensive clinical care that considers the multifaceted aspects of an individual's life, including cultural, racial, and social identities. I offer a safe and supportive environment to help you process your experiences and cultivate the next steps in your life.

You are the best expert on your own life. My role is to offer you the tools and environment to create the life you are happy to lead. I understand the decision to seek out help is often not an easy one. That’s why I believe in an integrated approach, customized to your unique situation, using the best and most relevant evidence-based techniques.

Life at times can be difficult turning your world upside down .I offer a direct eclectic experienced approach to psychotherapy to manage and resolve symptoms of Acute Stress Disorder, PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, depression and personal recovery treatment related to addictions and aftercare. I place a strong importance on you feeling safe, heard, and understood in the therapeutic relationship. Each intervention is designed to the unique needs of the client, enhancing personal choice, inner strengths, and self empowerment. Accepting new clients. Weekend appointments available.

I work with people who are searching for an authentic and interactive therapist who will help them resolve underlying issues that lead them feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied. I provide an open and validating space so that you can freely explore your difficulties while also challenging you in a non-confrontational way. I have a flexible approach and incorporate techniques from different modalities in order to meet your individual needs. I look forward to collaborating with you and understanding what you're hoping to achieve in therapy.

I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at Yeshiva University and psychoanalytic training at New York University. I have been in private practice for over 35 years, treating adolescents and adults. Most of the people I see, seek treatment to get help with difficulties in relationships. In psychotherapy, we identify repetitive patterns that interfere with the initiation and/or maintenance of intimate relationships. I also work with people who experience anxiety or depressive states.

The quest for clarity, for contentment is exhausting and that "Life Is Good" banner taunts us mercilessly. Often, life isn't good - no matter how good we appear to others. Talking about our hopes, dreams, expectations and disappointments can be hard, but it's the best way to make better sense of our desire and the emotionality that necessarily comes with it.

I provide an empathic, supportive, and non-judgmental space to individuals from various backgrounds facing a wide range of symptoms. I specialize in treating young adults with addiction, including those with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, and have in-depth experience helping individuals with anxiety and depression.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist with many years of experience working with a diverse clientele. I believe that growth occurs in therapy not just from insight, but from the willingness to tolerate the discomfort of the unknown and experiment with new ways of being in and out of sessions. I strive to be an engaged and active partner in this work. I also do executive coaching for people in tech, finance and media-related fields. Although psychological factors are never entirely left out of this work, the focus is on optimizing professional goals.

I work collaboratively with my clients to help them understand the thought patterns, belief systems, and expectations that influence how they move through the world. It is a process whereby, together, we bring the hidden pushes and pulls of their lives into clearer relief and empower them to make the desired changes in their lives.

Psychological evaluations (also referred to as ‘testing’ or ‘assessment’) can help children, adolescents, and adults better understand their behavior, functioning, cognition, mood, and personality. Evaluations are likely warranted in the presence of suspected ADHD; difficulties with attention, concentration, and/or hyperactivity; persistent academic difficulties (e.g., reading, writing, math); social, behavioral, and/or emotional difficulties; inability to engage in real-life skills (e.g., grooming, getting dressed, etc.); and/or psychological symptoms that have not responded to treatment (e.g., paranoia, severe anxiety, etc.).

I am a clinical social worker with over thirty years of experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families. My role as your therapist is to compassionately support personal growth, using empirically supported interventions, and providing practical strategies to handle life's many stressors. I provide culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care, and welcome all ages, genders and sexual identities. Curiosity, empathy, and validation of your personal truth are essential components of my practice and I treat my clients as partners in developing their own life solutions and healing process.

Beginning therapy can be scary and is a bold step toward making proactive changes in your life. I provide a warm and relaxed atmosphere to explore your emotional life in a safe and supportive space. Aware of the importance of the body, I experience you as a whole person: your words, life themes, affect, posture, and your presence. By experiencing you in your wholeness, I can contextualize what can feel confusing or fragmentary. I can share what I see and understand, helping you raise your self-awareness. This process can harmonize your thoughts and emotions. Insight alone often is not sufficient for healing.

I believe that we all struggle, at times, to cope with difficult feelings. You know, the ones that have been with us all our lives? The ones that make us feel stuck and hopeless at times? I also believe that we can make some sense out of our feelings by examining past relationships. With this awareness we can begin to look at your current feelings and relationships. In a non-judgmental environment, come as you are. We will approach this together.

When facing life's difficult challenges, it is good to know that there are places that you can turn to for help and guidance. However, finding a gay therapist can be anxiety producing because when people decide they would benefit from seeing a therapist, they are often experiencing significant upset in their lives. This is usually not the ideal moment to be dealing with the stress involved in finding someone with whom it feels safe and right to be vulnerable.
