Drug Abuse Therapists in 10011

I want to help you gain a greater sense of control over difficult thoughts and feelings. Clients often begin therapy requesting concrete tools to walk away with from each session. This is something I offer through through my enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, with a dual focus on techniques for altering unhealthy thoughts and behavior, and for improving insight, awareness, and mindfulness. I have a long track record of creating powerful results for my clients.

Necesitas cambiar para seguir adelante? Searching and in need for a breakthrough? La Terapia ayuda evaluar opciones y explorar tu ser integralmente. Psychotherapy is an exploration of your whole self; mind/body/emotions. Gives new insights on vital and difficult areas of life that sometimes present much like depression, anxiety or other vulnerabilities. My positive attitude and focus on wellness helps you go through tough challenges to get ready for important decisions. My therapy helps people to work on issues around substance use/recovery, grief and loses, chronic health, relationships and sexuality, LGBTQ affirmation and trauma.

Psychotherapy is an investment in a life lived consciously and self-reflectively. With respect for the complexity of psychological problems and their uniquely subjective meaning and function for each person, the "work" of psychotherapy fosters a curiosity about ourselves, our histories, our relational patterns, our ways of thinking and behaving, and of managing stress and loss. Questions like - why do I do the things I do? Choose to be involved with this type of person? React to stress or loss this way? Why am I stuck? Sad? Empty feeling? - help us develop insight and the capacity for informed change.

My inclusive practice is anchored in a respect for the cultural lens that shape a diversity of world views. My therapeutic approach is especially effective for changing repetitive unproductive behavioral patterns in interpersonal relationships and supporting new insights for understanding that the same mindset cannot be used for finding solutions to the complex problems that created them.

Are you trying to figure out what's wrong in your relationships, or why you can't seem to find a partner? Trying to understand why you can't find the job you want, or find the motivation to look? Wondering why you're not happier, why things aren't working out the way you thought and hoped they would? And why you're so frustrated, angry, sad, anxious, confused and just plain scared too much of the time. Email me, or call, and we can look for the answers together.

As a therapist, I use an interactive, “here and now” approach. I believe that relationships are healing, and that a strong connection and open dialogue between myself and the client is the most effective path toward change.

Do you find it difficult to trust yourself to make healthy decisions? Do you have conflict with friends, family or your employer? Do you want to stop holding yourself back from doing what you REALLY want to do? You may be experiencing "normal" life stress such as finishing school, living together, getting married, a career change, or contemplating parenthood. You may be having "unexpected" stress such as losing a job, deciding to break up, losing a loved one, or being in conflict with yourself or someone else. It's normal to feel anxious, sad or overwhelmed at these times.

I see psychotherapy as a dialogue between two people that can yield great personal growth and transformation. I aim to promote a safe, supportive and trusting psychotherapeutic relationship that facilitates the exploration of areas of difficulty, hurt, and vulnerability.

I work collaboratively with my patients. I ask probing questions and point out inconsistencies. I also provide feedback, advice, insights, observations and opinions.
