Therapists in 10017

As a clinician, I integrate psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches and EMDR with a Gestalt orientation and aim to make psychotherapy practical, flexible, and thoroughly individualized, matching the treatment to the changing needs of the client. I work with adults and couples and also do life coaching, management training, and executive coaching. In addition, I conduct wellness seminars on various topics (e.g., stress management, meditation, healthy eating, alternative healing). An area of expertise includes working with the expatriate community.

Since gaining my master’s degree in social work, I have been an individual therapist, done home visits for abused and neglected kids, and worked at a hospital for years. I have experience in medical conditions, death and dying, and difficult family dynamics. I am a strengths-based therapist who wants to learn about clients' lives and be able to help them gain larger perspectives about themselves in the world. I like to utilize mindfulness, CBT, and psychodynamic practices in our work.

Feeling unhappy or unsatisfied with something about your life or your relationships? Have you been overly emotional or easily upset? Have you felt recently that maybe you don't quite know yourself or where you're headed in life? If this sounds like something you've experienced lately, then it may be time to seek the help of a professional. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over fifteen years' experience in addressing issues just like these, and I would like to help you increase your satisfaction with your life.

It is my belief that mental illness and addiction can be treated successfully when a therapist and client have an active, open, and trusting, collaborative relationship. Sometimes an individual who is suffering needs to believe that there are solutions available for them and the chance to change. I have extensive training in working clinically with adolescents, young adults, and adults suffering from depression, anxiety, job burnout, addiction, or painful life transitions. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist and am extremely focused on helping my clients find solutions for their current problems.

I have helped people for many years, including adolescents, adults, and the elderly with problems such as Life Crisis, Depression, Anxiety, Bereavement and Loss Issues, Loneliness, OCD, Family Conflicts, Relationship Issues, Identity Crisis, Panic Attacks, Bipolar, and Psychosis. I strive to be sensitive to cultural and gender issues. I provide a listening, nonjudgemental ear and help the people I work with gain a new perspective on their life problems so they can thrive and not be weighed down by their past and present life experiences.

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children through adults. I have extensive clinical experience and am an expert Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I’ve been trained by top therapy institutes, am a board member for well accomplished CBT organizations, and run the official podcast for the national CBT organization. I strive to regularly advance my knowledge and provide leading scientific treatments. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, trauma, stress, insomnia, ADHD, defiance, and work/school issues. Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

Jackson (Jax) (he/him) excels at providing psychotherapy for adults and adolescents, as well as building executive functioning skills and strategies. Due to his academic and professional experience, and his own identity as a gay trans man, Jax enjoys working with members of the queer community. Jax thrives at working with clients who have ADHD, anxiety, OCD and autism (whether formally diagnosed or not). He has extensive knowledge about executive dysfunction and related skill-building. He also specializes in helping his clients navigate issues related to polyamory/non-monogamy.

I practice psychotherapy with a collaborative and integrative approach by curating evidence-based practices that work in accordance with each client’s needs and styles of treatment. Primarily, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Theory, Object Relations, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My approach is strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I passionately work with clients to create a judgment-free space that, over time, becomes a haven for discussing intimate or traditionally taboo subjects.

As a licensed mental health counselor, my approach is warm, friendly, and client-centered. I believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is the most important part of the therapeutic journey. I pride myself on being able to get a good sense of my clients and who they are individually in order to develop a strong therapeutic alliance. I am empathic and validating, but I am also skilled in challenging unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be getting in the way of living one's best life.

My approach is goal-oriented and integrated – pulling from multiple disciplines like Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solutions Focused Therapy. While keeping the individual’s needs in mind, an intentional humanistic approach remains at the forefront. Ultimately we’re going to need to have a meaningful relationship if we’re going to create change.

Reaching out for help can be very hard. You are coming to therapy for personal reasons, some of which may be uncomfortable to talk about. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, lack of confidence, coping with past traumas, having difficulty with work, or are simply feeling stuck. We understand that life can be overwhelming, even under the best of circumstances. We work with adults of all ages, children, and couples, to help them gain a better understanding of their feelings, relationships and inner-conflicts.

In therapy I provide an environment that will allow you to express yourself freely and openly. I am genuine and supportive, but can be direct and challenge you to adapt your thinking when necessary. I strive for my clients to feel more focused, emotionally regulated, and confident. I work with adults who are suffering from anxiety including OCD and panic, as well as depression, grief, and relationship issues.

I have over fifteen years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families; as well as psycho-educational testing and assessments; to children, adolescents, and adults of all age ranges. I also provide consultation to schools and educational facilities on learning and developmental issues.

I have learned the "connection" we make in therapy will lead to fruitful change. We begin by working on very specific concerns, to the more elusive, abstract conflicts of a more esoteric life that aren't so simple to characterize. Everyone comes to therapy with different hopes, unique needs, and a desire to seek what is transformational. I work to create a trusting relationship with all of my patients. In the initial sessions, I focus on what brings you to therapy at this moment in time and to establish a working rapport where you feel safe and listened to, without judgement. Therapy is a unique opportunity to find your voice,

Eric has 18 years experience combining Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology to young adults and artists in the performing and literary arts. He specializes in the "stuck points" that hinder growth and development. His goal is to guide you through your areas of pain, help you overcome feelings of unworthiness, shame, jealousy, artistic blockages, anxiety, and thrive during times of uncertainty and doubt. Eric appreciates and understands the unique challenges and subtle emotional intricacies of the mind/soul of the artist. Eric works from a collaborative, strengths-based, empowerment modality.

People typically pursue therapy to relieve suffering, to understand themselves and others more deeply, and to experience more satisfaction in love and work. Often it takes the perspective of another person, and the support of that person, to put these processes into motion. Therapy can provide the safe space to explore ways to solve problems, grow, and live more fully.

In my practice I enjoy helping people in their journey of self-understanding and life enrichment. My approach is primarily Psychodynamic, flexibly integrating elements of other evidence-based psychotherapies, such as CBT and DBT. I work with each person to identify core motivations, and to arrive at a more accurate and adaptive self-understanding. A focus of the collaborative work involves improving awareness of unproductive patterns of behavior. This usually leads to a virtuous cycle of insight, positive feelings, and behavioral activation. Clients gain a greater sense of personal agency and more control over the choices in their lives.

Do you want to take a partnership role in enhancing your emotional, physical, and behavioral health? I help people to actively recover from depression, anxiety and other mood disorders, manage emotional and behavioral aspects of chronic pain and illness, and develop and practice the specific attitudes, skills, and behaviors central to physical and psychological well-being.
