Spirituality Therapists in 10011

Therapy shouldn't be an expensive luxury. I accept many commercial in-network insurances. More than ever, with the recovery from a pandemic, inflation, and lifestyle changes, there is an increase in anxiety, depressed mood, social fears and worry about the future and unknowns. Therefore, therapy is more of a necessity for many of us.

An effective mental health counselor is a social anthropologist at heart with a profound knowledge of ethnicity, sociology, race, religious and/or spiritual denominations,family dynamics and how economics influence and determine emotional conflicts. Fluent in French, Spanish and English, well-travelled and well-versed in the arts and literature of other countries and with a subtancial background in psychology and psychoanalysis I approach emotional issues with flexibility and relevance to the individual patient. I delve into the client's self and biographical life to mobilize hidden forces, unused energies to assist him/her in the struggle to prevail.

Welcome. Reaching out to begin psychotherapy is an act of courage. Right now, you may be feeling caught in ways of being that don’t serve you. You may have already taken steps on your own to change. Psychotherapy can help by shedding light on how this came to be and transforming the patterns of thought and emotion that have led to feeling stuck. As this transformative process takes place, I will help you to develop new ways of being that are more in alignment with who you truly are so that you may live with more depth, self-compassion, and freedom.

I believe everyone has their own unique experience in therapy, and that one approach or theory does not fit all. Having said that, I believe the therapeutic relationship is central. We are hurt in relationships, and we are healed in relationships. A therapist's job is to provide an open space so that the client can express thoughts and feelings, and have the experience of being listened to without judgment.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is fundamental to the healing process. In our work together, we will co-create a safe, non-judgmental, restorative space. Through genuine warmth, compassion, & humor, my hope is that you’ll feel ready to explore and embark on your unique journey. As someone with a strong spiritual foundation, I empower individuals to tap into their inner healing intelligence as they navigate their past and present life experience. My passion lies in supporting attachment wound healing through reparative connection and increasing awareness and understanding of how trauma gets stored in the body.

As an existential therapist specializing in OCD, depression, and anxiety, I invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. In our sessions, we'll explore the depth of your existence, including your thoughts, emotions, and being. Together, we'll confront the existential dilemmas that underlie your challenges, uncovering meaning and purpose amidst the chaos. With a compassionate and person-centered approach, I aim to guide you towards greater self-awareness, acceptance, and empowerment. Let's ease our way into a profound exploration of the self, illuminating the path towards healing and wholeness.

Earning graduate degrees from Columbia and Yale Universities, I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in both the states of New York and Massachusetts, who is trained in psychoanalytic,dialectical behavioral (DBT) and humanistic treatment modalities. With offices in the West Village of Manhattan, I work with adults, children and adolescents with a variety of difficulties, including problems related to anxiety; mood, such as depression and poor self-esteem; interpersonal conflicts; career transitions; issues of professional identity; feelings of ineffectiveness and failures of performance in work and school; marital conflicts; and, difficulties with intimacy in romantic relationships.

I have the honor of accompanying fellow LGBTQIA+ individuals of color, especially those moving through life transitions, first-generation undergraduate & graduate students, academics, artists, writers, and those holding intersectional identities rooted in multicultural and interracial families, partnerships, and transcultural and/or adult adoption. In addition, I work with couples as well as poly individuals and ethically/consensually non-monogamous partnerships.

Are you having difficulty coping with life stressors or transitions? Are you struggling with overwhelming worry or sadness? Are you feeling stuck in frustrating relationship patterns, or engaging in self-defeating behaviors? I am here to help you address and overcome barriers to achieving greater emotional well-being. Together we will explore these challenges, understand your unique needs, and develop your personal goals towards lasting change and fulfillment.

Many of us struggle with the wish to be close to a lover/partner/spouse while simultaneously feeling fearful of risking vulnerability. Past hurts, traumas in childhood or adolescence, negative family messages about sexuality, body image issues, present-day stresses, betrayals of trust, and experiences of loss, may all contribute to this hesitancy. As an AASECT Certified couples and sex therapist, I will work with you individually and/or in couples' sessions to develop a better understanding of what holds you back from experiencing the deeper physical and emotional intimacy you desire.

I work with people who are stuck at certain crossroads in their life. Typically, the external problems seem to solve themselves once therapy reaches a certain point. This applies to work, relationships, life goals, and creative pursuits. My job is to help you transform mental or physical pain into something that is bearable and makes life worth living.

My approach to talk therapy is based on identifying and integrating parts of the individual and their experiences to foster self-awareness, practical solutions and advance personal growth. I work with adults on a wide range of challenges from emotion regulation, attachment patterns, grief and interpersonal systems to more clinical issues such as anxiety, depression and trauma related disorders. I have a wide range of experiences that include facilitating group therapy, working with refugee/migrant communities, LGBTQIA clients and individual/family therapy related to substance use disorders and treatment.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Did your sex life hit a bump in the road and you're not sure how to get it back on track? I work with relationship partners to figure out where the sexy spark went and how to get it back. So whether you just got a bit too comfortable with each other or there's some underlying emotional issues to resolve, we will work together to get to the bottom of it and get you back to feeling the sexy spark. I love working with sexual diversity including sex workers, LGBTQIA+ clients, kinksters and non-monogamous folks.

Sometimes life's challenges can cause us to feel overwhelmed, stuck, and unfulfilled in different areas of our lives. I work closely with you to create a supportive therapeutic space where we can safely explore your thoughts and feelings, overcome obstacles, and build a path towards a more fulfilling life for you.

I do insight oriented psychotherapy with clients interested in focusing on current issues and how they are effected by earlier life experiences, present conflicts and future possibilities. The issues I am best suited to address are depression, trauma, child abuse,aging, chronic illness, gay and lesbian/sexual orientation/ coming out

Often, people have come to the point where whatever they are doing is not working anymore. It may not have worked for some time. Finding the right therapist and the right fit is of extreme importance. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor. In our work together I will provide a safe place where you feel supported, while at the same time creating a safe place so that you can challenge yourself. We will work closely together in looking at and learning from your successes, as well as exploring stuck points that are impeding you in gaining a fuller life.

I've been a practicing psychotherapist in the New York City metropolitan area for over 25 years. Most of my clients are adults with relationship problems, work issues, anxiety or depression. Some have histories of trauma. My approach to therapy is generally a psychodynamic one with a focus on the here and now. I also use mindfulness, hypnosis, ego state therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as tools in treatment. I have found that this eclectic approach is helpful to clients as one size does not fit all.

We will focus on your strengths to develop healthy coping skills and problem-solving methods as lifelong tools. You are the expert of your own experiences, I use this philosophy to help clients achieve their goals.   My practice uses a strengths-based approach to work through challenges. I aim to help individuals develop and achieve goals that lead to empowerment and a life of fulfillment. If you are struggling with issues that impede your growth, please allow me to join you on your journey. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, which places a high value on helping clients understand their process.
