Psychoanalytic Therapists in 10019

I am easy to talk to, caring, and non-judgmental. I am an experienced therapist, former Clinical Supervisor at Columbia University, and adjunct faculty at the City University of New York. I work with most issues, but specialize in relationships, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and adult female survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with post-graduate psychoanalytic training. I treat people struggling with a range of difficulties, including interpersonal relationship issues, familial issues, childhood and adult trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, as well as academic and career inhibitions. I often work with patients who have tried therapy in the past without obtaining the relief they'd hoped for.

I am committed to helping my patients understand and correct patterns that interfere with the realization of their personal and/or professional goals and living their life more fully. I treat individuals and couples and specialize in relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, addictions, life transitions, health concerns, unresolved trauma and parenting/step-parenting challenges. I also treat people who feel relatively sturdy and successful but are going through a period of notable stress when stretched beyond their capacity. I have a graduate degree from Columbia University and a four year postgraduate certification in psychoanalysis and comprehensive psychotherapy from the National Institute for the Psychotherapies.

People often feel alone with their problems. Your inner world can feel very different from how others see you. Privately you may feel sad, anxious or overwhelmed with life's challenges. You may be unhappy with how your life is going generally or with specific things about yourself or your relationships. Perhaps painful/traumatic experiences from your past are continuing to trouble you. Your feelings may lead to difficulty with intimacy, work, self-image, sleep, drugs/alcohol, eating, sex, or motivation. These are the kinds of problems I hear about often from people I see for psychotherapy. Together we can work to improve your life.

I believe psychotherapy is a life-changing process that can expand one's capacity for self-reflection and self-awareness, thereby paving the way for more meaningful relationships and a more fulfilling life. I endeavor to help my patients find the tools they need to feel the most productive and the most alive. My approach is psychodynamically-oriented; however, my years of practicing have taught me that there is no one-size-fits-all model. I believe each person has different needs, and I bring both my experience and collaborative skills to each treatment. I have been described as empathic, relatable, and warm.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice in Manhattan. After finishing a Masters of Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania, I completed a four year post-graduate program at the William Alanson White Institute, a psychoanalytic institute in New York City.

We each want the best life we can make for ourselves. Everyone has potential that has not been developed or utilized enough. Whether one has symptoms of depression, anxiety, problematic relationships or anger difficulties, each one of us can progress to remove symptoms and develop our unique personalities more. That is what keeps me excited about my work after so many years of practice as a psychotherapist. I help people to accomplish their goals and improve their abilities to get more out of life, including their relationships. We are complex beings, filled with so much untapped potential.

Anxieties, insecurity, depression, difficult patterns in relationships or work, and problems focusing can be understood and changed, so you have more energy and confidence to devote to living. Become more connected to yourself and others through a specialized process of exploration with a trained professional, and see a difference in your life. A therapist's expertise and experience are very important, but the key ingredient of effective therapy is a "good fit" between you and your therapist. If you'd like to see how it would be to work together, I would be pleased to hear from you.

A person seeks professional help when they feel unfulfilled and stuck, during a time of great loss/crisis or when they are experiencing relationship difficulties. Despite all efforts to handle this alone, they continue to experience a painful awareness that something significant is missing. I provide a empathic, non-judgmental and confidential environment in which we work together, at a comfortable pace, to identify/explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors which interfere with your reaching your maximum potential for happiness in your career and relationships. Through our work together, you will move toward healing and improving the quality of your life.

I have 40 years experience, and am deeply committed to, treating adults between 25 and 65 years old. Men and women suffering from confusion, anxiety and depression as they struggle to realize their potential – in their professional, sexual and love life. The goal of my work with patients is to understand their personal complexity so that new and constructive patterns of living can be obtained. Most importantly, the working through process of psychoanalytic treatment leads to the development of a strong, creative self and a freeing up of one’s potential and direction going forward.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for twenty years treating adults and adolescents. I graduated with a BS in psychology from Harvard and received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Columbia University. I also received psychoanalytic training at The William Alanson White Institute.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, and major life transitions. I draw from my psychodynamic training at NYU, postgraduate psychoanalytic certification, and two decades of experience to help you relieve distress, increase resilience, and improve your quality of life.

I am an accomplished Psychoanalyst, Pre-Marital Counselor and EFT Couples Therapist, and strive to help individuals and couples find their harmony and achieve their life goals. If you are struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety or depression, I look forward to helping you regain your sense of self. If you are a pre-marital couple looking for guidance in achieving marital harmony and success, I look forward to helping you. If you are a couple or family in conflict, I will help you to understand why your relationship has broken down, and how to rebuild safety, trust and healthy communication patterns.

I am a caring psychoanalyst with 20+ years of experience. Starting therapy may feel overwhelming but the experience can transform your life. Are there things you're doing to sabotage yourself? Do you get caught in the same patterns? How can you get the most out of your relationships? I believe therapy is a dynamic, two person process which takes place in an environment of safety and honesty. With insight, humor and warmth, I create a safe space for you to explore your feelings, relationships, ambitions, memories, and dreams. With awareness, acceptance and compassion, I believe that change is possible.

My name is Stephen McNulty. I'm a Licenced Clinical Social Worker and a psychoanalytically trained psychotherapist. I'm a graduate of New York University and hold an advanced Certificate in Clinical Social Work. I'm also a graduate of the Washington Square Institute for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.

I offer adults and couples a collaborative approach to therapy that promotes healing changes. You'll find me to be a nonjudgemental, understanding & empathetic listener committed to helping you improve your relationships and life ambitions. In the course of our treatment learning to recognize the triggers that bring up your painful feelings which have created barriers to your goals, enables you to reevaluate them & opt for making more productive and beneficial choices. For thirty years I have integrated my psychoanalytic understandings with newer evidence based treatments to better suit your particular needs.

I have trained in a number of therapy modalities (interpersonal psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, coaching), and use an eclectic and flexible approach which takes into account the particular client and their goals. I am the co-director of the Artist Program at the William Alanson White Institute, where I also serve as director of referrals for their Sexual Abuse Service. Other areas of specialization are financial therapy and executive coaching and leadership development. I do consulting work with financial firms and planners, as well as executives and other professionals going through career transitions, or looking to improve their work performance.

I help individuals who are interested in working at a deep level and who seek transformation and abiding change. I aim to help people find more than just relief from the immediate concerns that lead them to enter psychotherapy, whether they be depression, anxiety, relationship problems, occupational/academic concerns, or other difficulties. I thus actively work from the ground up to help my clients develop more self-understanding, greater tolerance for distress, and a newfound security in their capacity to confront life's innumerable challenges.

Therapeutic change requires a trusting relationship within which thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored freely. As a seasoned therapist, I believe that the crises that bring us to the first therapy appointment can be the beginning of a process of self-exploration that leads to greater self-understanding and more effective problem solving. As we sit together, I help you reflect on what is going on in the present and how you got there. I pay close attention to patterns and themes that emerge and help you organize these so you can develop a narrative of your life that makes sense to you.
