Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists in 10013

The heart of my work is to help people find better solutions to life's problems, and to help people find relief from personal and work relationships that have become stressful. In over 35 years' experience treating adults of all ages, I appreciate and respect each person's struggle to overcome problems interfering with leading emotionally satisfying and productive lives.

My focus is on introspection & interpersonal relationships. I integrate a traditional and holistic approach in a safe and peaceful setting. I tailor to your personal needs and wants by removing the masks and uncovering your personal truth/individualized self. My practice incorporates skill building to help you understand why you make the choices you make and to live your life through self-acceptance, self-love, and confidence

If you are struggling with feeling stuck, lasting change can begin right here and now! I’m Dr. Larissa Tate, a Clinical Psychologist with years of experience specializing in working with people to overcome sleep difficulties, anxiety, and trauma. I believe therapy should be rooted in authenticity, compassion, and connection and I aim to collaboratively engage in a therapy process that is goal-directed and solution-focused so that we can achieve the changes you want to see. I strive to join my clients in figuring out why and how they've become "stuck" and then helping them move forward towards value and meaning.

To me, as a therapist, it is essential to develop a safe, nonjudgmental, honest, and supportive space for each and every client to unpack, process and move forward. I work with children ages 3-18 years, adults, and families facing various challenges and diagnoses.

I am a clinical neuropsychologist and learning specialist who is available for therapy/coaching sessions. I have a holistic approach that utilizes cognitive re-framing, behavioral modification and mindfulness practices. Cognitive re-framing uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and extinguish maladaptive thought patterns. Behavioral modification is used to optimize behavior patterns. Last, mindfulness practices are essential for identifying and maintaining optimal thought and behavior patterns. There are many different ways to practice mindfulness and working together we can uncover the path that works best for you.

As a clinical psychologist, I believe that knowledge, awareness, and insight are the cornerstones of therapy. By helping increase emotional awareness and identifying their related thoughts and behaviors, I facilitate understanding of causes and triggers for anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflict. An appreciation of each individual's unique background and encounters is crucial in comprehending how one relates to new information and experiences. I tailor empirically supported treatment to address emotional distress, and believe we are all active participants in our health and wellness. With the correct tools and insight, we can lead emotionally healthy, successful, and meaningful lives.

I have been in the mental health field for five years with a master’s in mental health counseling and, currently, obtaining my doctorate in counselor education. I have worked with a plethora of symptomatic presentations, but my specialties lie in cutting-edge practices of chronic pain and mind-body disorders, sexual disorders, and trauma/PTSD. Prior experience in domestic violence and sexual assault crisis counseling, along with community advocacy for mental health services. I view health holistically: mind, body, and spirit. I have a deep understanding of how our mind and body effect one another; overall health is my priority.
