Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in 10014

I help clients overcome frustrating relationship patterns, self-sabotaging behavior, and persistent depression and anxiety. In our sessions, you'll find a thoughtful, supportive, and creative environment where clients work at the pace most comfortable for them. My approach to therapy seeks to align an individual's feelings, values, and actions. Our emotions motivate our behavior, and when we want to change but seemingly can't, we're often working against our emotional selves. Clients work with me to tap the right motivation to meet their goals. I treat individuals, couples, and parents.

My approach to therapy is practical and empathic. It is my goal to help you live and love your life by developing the insights and tools necessary to overcome whatever difficulties you experience. Clinically, I specialize in helping people who suffer from anxiety, depression, OCD, anger, stress, relationship problems, and longstanding psychological issues.

Exploring your personal well-being is courageous and deliberate work. Like all work, it is worthy of a safe space. As a therapist, I strive to honor, respect, and cultivate that safety in our time together. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, anger, and relationship conflict. I have years of experience working with entrepreneurs, researchers, educators, & first responders.

Have you been feeling anxious, overwhelmed or alone? Do you find that your mind and emotions control you? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns? I have 18 years' experience as a licensed therapist treating these symptoms. I offer Therapy & Psychedelic Therapy. I have a background in art and a warm, engaging (rather than silent) style of interacting. My experience includes work at 2 eating disorder centers, Mental Health Assessor for University of California, graduate psychology professor, crisis work w/ Mental Health Association of NYC, supervision of interns and Integration of Psychedelic experiences. I am licensed in CA, NY and PA.

I offer a supportive, empathetic, and collaborative space in which to explore and navigate life’s challenges and goals. I strive to empower you to develop insight through self-reflection, as well as offer concrete skills and tools to support you in managing daily stressors. My multicultural background grants me a special sensitivity and curiosity towards cultural expressions and their impact on identity, relationships and the therapeutic process. Drawing on trauma-focused, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and somatic approaches, I tailor my approach to best address each individual’s unique needs and abilities.

The therapeutic journey is not about fixing yourself but about discovering your wholeness, which has been there all along. I am dedicated to working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, stress, and interpersonal conflicts to help you navigate life’s complexities. As your therapist, I will collaborate with you to explore your inner world and rediscover your best self to achieve deep healing and emotional growth. I offer you a warm and non-judgmental environment to help you learn more about yourself and question the life stories that no longer serve you.

You want to transform and change but no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to attain your goals. This can leave you feeling stuck, tired and vulnerable. I help motivated young women, professionals and therapists go from feeling anxious, caught in a life stage, wanting to find meaningful relationships, accelerate at work and improve self-esteem, to living an empowered life where there is a roadmap for change. We work together to reduce anxiety, improve relationships, establish an empowered sense of self and develop confidence to match. I work with those who are motivated to transform their lives with a clearer vision and path.

My years in practice and in the world have taught me that therapy is a journey shared by both the therapist and the client. The key to success is an active curiosity, careful listening and a non-judgmental attitude. Creating a safe environment based on mutual respect is the starting point of any successful journey. Our goal is to understand your thoughts and feelings to help you achieve more control over your life. We will identify and work through those issues that stand in the way of fulfilling your dreams.

People often come to me during life transitions when they feel anxious, scared and sad. Together we explore and develop more self awareness that leads to greater self acceptance and purposeful decision making. I work with Individuals and Couples to heal from traumas, process grief, work through shame and self judgment, improve relationships, manage career challenges. Additionally I have a special interest in working with parents during postpartum and beyond.

My practice centers on helping people live everyday more fully. Daily pressures to manage work, relationships, and ourselves often leave us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Some people express these feelings through anxiety or persistent self-critical thoughts. Others may feel discouraged, guilty, ashamed or sad. Many use substances, food, risky behavior or other distractions to momentarily feel better. Psychotherapy can help resolve these issues by creating a space to gain better coping strategies, enhance your focus of your place in the world, and develop greater resiliency.

Do you feel lonely, depressed, or rejected? Do you feel bad about yourself, have anxiety, or experience trauma? I work with adults, couples, and adolescents. I'm a trained psychoanalyst who also practices mindfulness and meditation. Therapy is a process of self discovery and change. It will assist you in understanding your patterns and teach you how to put words to your lived experiences. It will help you feel better about yourself and allow you to interact with the world around you more effectively. I can help you to reduce the intense feelings that get in the way of accessing your fullest potential.

I believe that we go through life with our personal narratives - millions of experiences weaved together to tell our stories. In our work together we would explore your story, deconstruct maladaptive narratives, and create bold, strength affirming ones. I believe in laws of attraction, in thinking BIG and transforming our dreams into reality. My clients have repeatedly commented on my dynamic, reflective, and engaging style, as well as my keen abilities at building and fostering strong therapeutic alliances.

I have over 25 years of experience helping clients heal from anxiety, depression, grief, low self esteem, trauma, including PTSD and relational trauma, relationship challenges and self destructive tendencies. We will work together to understand how the challenges you are experiencing impact you, and how you can heal most effectively. Each client has a different way of healing, and so I customize my approach based on your individual needs. The approaches I use are trauma recovery, psychodynamic, sensorimotor, and mindfulness among others. I am LGBTQ affirming and welcome clients of all ethnicities and cultural backgrounds.

My approach to treatment begins with learning about you as an individual and gaining an understanding of your objectives and timeline for achieving these goals. My approach is individualized, pulling from your strengths to develop a strategy which empowers you to reach these goals. Not only do I work with those who may abuse substances or alcohol and who often struggle with mental health issues, but I work with close family members and significant others who have been impacted by this use, helping them better understand what they can and cannot do to help their loved ones and themselves.

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.

Through my warm and collaborative style, I aim to encourage and empower individuals to overcome current obstacles and see their life goals realized. My main areas of expertise are treating OCD, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders using cognitive behavioral therapy and other research-supported techniques. I also see people for a variety of other issues, including adjustment to difficult life events, life transitions, challenging family dynamics, and relationship problems. My main goal is to create a safe, supportive space where I can provide practical and effective treatment that is tailored to your specific needs.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and I support individuals through the process of growth and healing, self-discovery, and coping through difficult times.

By gaining clarity on aspects of your life, whether it be what has shaped you, or what is currently keeping you stuck, I help you use this awareness to live a more intentional life. My therapeutic style is warm, active, and genuine. I strongly believe in the importance of building an authentic and trusting relationship in order for therapy to be effective.
