Therapists in 10025

In the current atmosphere of political and social chaos many people are feeling angry, disenchanted, lost. As a spiritually oriented psychotherapist, I use mindfulness techniques as well as integrated therapy in working with the anxiety and depression that result from the current climate.

The decision to enter therapy is courageous and important. Removing obstacles (such as anxiety and depression) that prevent well being and overall happiness, creating and enhancing relational experiences, coping with trauma, grief and loss or reaching professional goals are worthy and healthy desires. Whatever the precipitant to ones decision, we all have a need to be respected, heard, understood, and to feel safe, cared for and truly "gotten". It is both my belief and years of experience that tells me these conditions are necessary for long lasting, transformational change to occur. Together, we will actively work on helping you achieve your therapeutic goals

My eclectic form of Psychotherapy focuses on unresolved issues. to allow you to create an enriched life. I specialize in helping my clients work with their core shame and resulting issues such problems at work and relationships I am trained in EMDR which is recommended for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as well being trained to do inner child work. All these issues have unfortunately has probably given you a general feeling of anxiety, depression, and loss of zest in living. My own history has helped me discover the most effective techniques as well as compassion for your current struggle.

I became a therapist to help clients alleviate their specific ways of suffering, whether its depression or anxiety, trauma or emotional abuse, or struggles around identity and intimacy. I bring to my practice a history of having written widely in the areas of gender and sexual identity, and relationships and intimacy. As a therapist, I am committed to listening and collaborating with clients to understand and alter those feelings and ways of relating to yourself and others that may be needlessly constraining and a source of distress and unhappiness.

I believe that whatever most troubles you, it cannot define you psychologically, nor does it lessen the whole of your identity. Therefore, I regard all aspects of your past, your present and your inner life as a series of promising pathways. Through them we can seek a fuller understanding of your living reality, and we can discover and develop key resources for resolving your dilemmas. Throughout our work together my overall perspective on you, the client, is of your distinct, unique connection to the common ground of our human experience: that shared territory in which we all sometimes struggle, and in which I fully include myself.

We all have the capacity to heal, both ourselves and our relationships so that we may grow to our fullest potential. I have over thirty years of experience dedicated to facilitating that process. I provide a safe and nurturing environment as the foundation for any work we do. Together we will explore your past and present, helping you face and move beyond toxic memories, change old, dysfunctional patterns, and develop your strengths. You will learn to free yourself from stuck places and rediscover yourself in vital, new ways

Do you feel alone with your problems or stuck in the same old patterns daily, with the same old issues and conflicts? I care strongly about being genuinely empathetic, non-judgmental, and collaborative in my approach to therapy. I listen deeply to understand who you are. Together, we will navigate complex emotions and insights about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that can undermine your relationships and productivity. We will find and explore old patterns, and in doing so, give you emotional clarity, and increase awareness of your inner strengths and resources. Our work will help you feel more comfortable with who you are.

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.

Do you sometimes think that there’s something that’s missing in your life? What is preventing you from getting what you want? As your potential therapist, my hope is to connect with you through active listening and supportive conversation, to provide a secure and nurturing space to assist in your self-discovery and healing. My primary areas of focus include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family dynamics, life transitions, low self-esteem and stress. I provide a safe, collaborative environment in which we can explore your goals and identify the barriers that are keeping you from living a satisfying life.

Whether you are feeling down, depleted, or in pain; if you’re wondering whether you are good enough, or having difficulties finding the motivation to start your day, psychotherapy is an effective way of rediscovering yourself. It allows you to get to the root of your symptoms and find the answers you are looking for in order to create a more fulfilling sense of self. As individuals, we all experience depression, anxiety, trauma in our lives, often more than once. You do not have to go through these issues alone.

The face you show the world may not reflect the way you feel inside. You might seem confident, happy and proficient to others, while privately feeling inauthentic or inadequate. You might notice yourself angry, frightened, lonesome or sad more often than you’d like, or for reasons you don’t quite understand. You might find yourself revisiting past hurts, feeling numb in the wake of difficult, long ago events, or feeling deeply at odds with your own body. Maybe your racial, sexual or gender identities have subjected you to painful familial or societal exclusion or marginalization. Or maybe the world just feels too heavy to bear.
