As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer many years of experience helping individuals and couples lead better lives. I approach my work with an effective mix of compassion and knowledge, support and challenge, kindness and intelligence, insightful reflection and hard work. I am very committed to helping my clients understand themselves and achieve their goals.

Starting therapy, or re-starting therapy, can feel like a daunting endeavor. I look forward to helping individuals, both teens and adults, who might be struggling with what it means to be in therapy or understanding how therapy might be able to help them. I practice primarily from a psychodynamic and relational perspective. This means that I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the necessary foundation for effective and meaningful therapeutic work. Every therapist-patient relationship is unique and I work hard to provide a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive therapeutic environment.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Manhattan who specializes in adults and older adults who are experiencing stress, depression and/or anxiety.

French-speaking individuals are welcome as I grew up speaking French in Geneva, Switzerland.

I recently acquired my Masters of Social Work degree and I am licensed by the New York State. I recently continued by education and received a certificate in psychoanalysis. I am very interested in helping people who desire support in existential issues of growing older and how it feels to face mortality. Many wrestle with such questions as "What has my life been about?" I offer emotional support with a spiritual focus.

I have been in full time private practice since 1992. I have specialized training in trauma, and addiction treatment. As the therapeutic action, healing for the patient, resides in the relationship between therapist and patient, this therapeutic relationship and how it unfolds is a primary focus. I use an eclectic approach including aspects of various relational theories including interpersonal, self-psychology, inter subjective, and object relations.

I have over 25 years experience working with adults and adolescents, treating depression, anxiety, eating issues, creative blocks, sexuality concerns, identity issues, bereavement, self-esteem issues, and relationship and work difficulties.

Eric Shanks LCSW is a Licensed Psychotherapist trained at Boston College.

My primary goal as a therapist is to create an open, empowering, and creative atmosphere so clients can gain comfort in self-expression. I view therapy as both an art and a science. Artistically, a therapist must be flexible and creative in constructing a comfortable environment and tailoring conceptualizations and interventions specifically to each client. Scientifically, psychology is grounded in research and I strive to provide clients with empirically-supported treatments. I have extensive experience working with clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, executive functioning, and infertility.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I provide you with a safe, affirming space to share about emotions, thoughts and behaviors that are impacting your daily functioning, relationships and sense of self. Through collaboration, we explore the origin of these concerns, identify and deconstruct your belief system, work together to process the past and come to a resolution.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I work to help people make changes in how they lead their lives and experience themselves.

My approach is collaborative, empathic, and supportive.

As a clinical and sport psychologist working with athletes in the MLB and NFL, I help people overcome barriers in their life and reach their full potential. I think warmth, humor and creativity are essential ingredients to our work. Together we will examine your thoughts and behaviors and how to change them to improve your mood and life satisfaction. I incorporate sport psychology into my work with my clients. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other science-based techniques, I help coach people using the strategies I've used with professional athletes over the past 14 years.

While there are many excellent therapists, the question of best fit is vital. My therapeutic approach honors suffering and difference. Therapy is a place for healing through words, stories, and a trusting relationship. Through this relationship new narrative possibilities arise, as empathy and compassion open a path for creative collaboration. The goal of this approach is relief from old narratives and relationship patterns that no longer serve you. As you develop greater insight and awareness, you gain the freedom to make more intentional decisions about how and who you want to be.

I am also trained in EMDR, a technique especially effective with trauma and its painful aftermath.

A glimpse of my style and approach is available at a low fee through my online course on anxiety management and stress reduction (https://dravisanders.com/online-courses). Different professional and personal experiences led me to the field of clinical psychology. Through my own experience of change, I have come to learn the importance of learning to non-judgmentally accept and recognize your current reality for what it is as a first step toward identifying areas in your life where you would like to experience growth.

I work primarily with individuals and couples struggling with relationship distress and believe that everyone has the power to change when given the opportunity to do so. While relationships can lead to stress and anxiety, they can also be the source of safety and security for us if we let them. Whether you're struggling in your relationship with your partner or yourself, we can work together to identify the parts of yourself that need attention and change negative patterns so you can feel closer to those around you and live a more meaningful life.
