Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in 10014

I believe people come to therapy because something isn't working for them. They need someone to listen to their story, hear the deeper meanings and make meaningful connections for them. They may be depressed over a relationship, experiencing a loss of self esteem, mourning a loved, seeking a deeper meaning in life, or becoming aware of a past trauma. Sharing ones concerns with an experienced therapist can help connect past history to the present allowing one to gain meaningful insights into ones life. Therapy is a place to share, unburden and grow toward the fulfillment one longs for.

Every person has a unique personality and philosophy on life. Because of this, every person deserves to be treated differently. This requires a unique psychotherapist, with a wide range of experience and a wealth of knowledge. Whether you're a young person, or an older person, you deserve expert guidance to effectively treat your issue.

All appointments are currently offered online only via Skype or Zoom. I use an integrative approach to treatment including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, existential, and multicultural approaches to help adults and older adults with a variety of issues including anxiety and depression. I also have clinical knowledge of abnormal psychology, mood disturbances, and self harming behavior. I take a strength based approach to the work, and I work with patients for short-term therapy and for longer-term therapy. I focus on unconscious factors to help patients increase self-awareness and insight.

I believe growth occurs in an atmosphere of respect, compassion, and a belief in the human capacity for healing and change. With this belief, trust, and a collaborative effort, we work together to get "un-stuck" and move towards the resolution of life challenges. My approach to therapy emphasizes insight, self-awareness, and empowerment for the promotion of a more integrated self.

I know how difficult change can be and how alone we can feel when overwhelmed with challenges. I love to learn about my patients’ lives and to help them understand themselves’ better in order to overcome obstacles that hinder their ability to thrive.

I work with adults, adolescents, and couples. I am active in my work; I clarify for each person what is important to her. My orientation is psychodynamic; I explore past history connected to the present and open the possibility of finding out who you are, how you arrived here, and where you are going. Crises in development and transition are important, opportunities for change. These are good moments to enter therapy. Times of depletion or feeling stuck are also important moments to initiate change. I'm here to help. It is important that you feel I understand you correctly, as you see yourself.

The successful outcome of the work done in therapy is so very much a result of the unique relationship between patient and therapist. To that end my practice is one in which I am active, supportive and non-judgemental.Emotional injuries from the past live in the present, effecting how we relate and react to people and events throughout life. Psychotherapy has the potential to heal past wounds and impart the insights that can result in a healthier, more emotionally prosperous present. Depression, anxiety and relationship problems need not define us.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

Our work together can open doors.With wisdom, humor and warmth I know change is possible. Therapy with me offers you chances to look at yourself afresh, without judgment,in a safe supportive environment. If you're feeling stuck you can learn how to become "unstuck." We will talk about managing anxiety, increasing self-confidence and generating a greater sense of calmness at home and at work. You can learn how to deal more effectively with the important people in your life,as well as how to come to terms with the inevitable crises, disappointments and losses in life.

Welcome! I am a Psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the field. I have provided support to individuals ages 7-70, addressing a number of issues including anxiety, depression, loss and grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, and attachment issues. My approach to therapy is solution focused and culturally sensitive, and I utilize several modalities to find the best fit for my clients including CBT, Complicated Grief Therapy, and EMDR.

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.

Psychotherapy is about change and growth, an endeavor that takes commitment and courage. Change can be painful at times and often scares us, so we rather stay within the bounds of old but familiar patterns of going about our lives. To have someone you trust to guide you through the change process can make all the difference. A genuine and supportive therapeutic relationship can help you take an honest look at your feelings and thoughts about yourself and your relationships with others, which will bring about the change that removes the barriers to a healthy and fulfilled life.

Are you seeking better relationships, greater career success, or relief from emotional distress? I will work with you to overcome the obstacles to living the life you want. Understanding yourself and others in new ways can increase your ability to relate to people authentically and experience love. Reconsidering recurring patterns that once seemed inevitable or uncontrollable can help you eliminate self-defeating behaviors and discover new choices and options. Acquiring the psychological skills to direct your life more effectively can lead to making lasting changes. Developing your emotional intelligence can promote greater resilience, humor, and capacity for pleasure.

Sometimes people seek therapy because of painful situations, or they're unclear about which path to take. Sometimes they're trying to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood. And sometimes they have a more biological problem - ADD, depression, mood swings - and want to lead a rich and satisfying life despite these problems. I will help you to figure out the source of your problems, and find solutions. For twenty-four years I've worked with a wide range of patients with a variety of issues. I've taught Psychology at Smith College, and graduate students and candidates at the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center.

I have had success using this combined approach to efficiently help people into better relationships, better jobs and a better life. I'm available to my patients by phone and text for urgent matters, 24/7.

Imagine how liberating it would be to live an authentic life! In this life, you would live according to your values.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist seeing clients at my private practice in Manhattan. For the past 14 years, I have worked with individuals and couples unsatisfied with their current situation and wanting more from life - more happiness, connection, and success. Though I am trained in providing long-term psychotherapy, I have adapted my techniques to maximize the results of shorter-term treatment. While many clients want the intensive experience of longer-term treatment, I recognize that this is not always possible due to the constraints of time and money.

Psychotherapy lets people be their most 'authentic' selves and live at their highest potential; it also helps them understand barriers to optimal living. Expecting that you have all the answers is not realistic, and entering therapy is a helpful step to deepening understanding, resolving problematic relational patterns and simply making changes. Also,Therapy need not be a 'lifelong process'. I have a proven track record working with people achieving results. My treatment approach combines a Relational psychodynamic frame with goal-focused techniques. I tend to work very interactively with clients relationally, while also allowing abundant space for clients their own insights and self-reflection.
