Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in 10026

As a clinical psychologist, I work collaboratively with clients who are seeking to become “unstuck,” to meet new challenges, and to navigate relationships and emotions. I strive to develop a nuanced understanding and appreciation of my clients' values, needs, and struggles. Together, we clarify obstacles, evaluate coping strategies, identify personal goals, and develop the skills necessary for a path forward. My approach is non-judgmental, warm, and active.

People come to therapy with all sort of challenges. You may be stuck on a particular problem that seems to appear over and over or you are struggling with making decisions and then moving on. Maybe something unfortunate has happened in your life. Sometimes people have difficulty managing their emotions and the behaviors that result and want to learn to have better ways to cope. Often my clients are hoping to find deeper meaning in their work, their relationships and in the life they have created. Allowing yourself the space to engage in therap​y provides an opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and private way.

Life is full of choices and sometimes it feels too big or just too small. I am a licensed Master of Social Work that provides clinical care that starts with listening to you with curiosity, collaboration, and a strength-based approach that centers on your priorities and journey. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, NLP, and EMDR to meet your individual needs. I provide therapy to individuals, couples/intimate partners, career transitions, life cycle changes, gender, and sexuality identity, living with disabilities, kink, trans, & poly affirming.

PAC Psych is a small group private practice conveniently located on the upper west side of Manhattan run by Dr. Hayley Cooper. The mission of Parent and Child Psychological Services is to bring well researched and empirically supported therapies to children, adolescents and their families with a particular focus on anxiety, attachment and young children experiencing behavior difficulties both at home and in school. We believe that a collaborative relationship with parents and sometimes schools is often the best way to achieve successful results.

Until the pandemic, my practice encompassed adult psychotherapy and pediatric neuropsychology. At present, I have suspended neuropsychological evaluations as I am only providing remote services and have chosen not to do testing this way. I provide individual and couples therapy using an approach that may draw from different schools of therapy, depending on individual needs. I have very broad experience with a variety of ages and personal struggles. Although I am unable to provide pediatric neuropsychology evaluations, I am available for parent consultation.

As a Clinical Psychologist for 30 years, I continue to be enriched, challenged and personally deepened by my work. My therapeutic style is active, engaged and empathetic. I help clients find meaning and purpose in their lives, through exploring the past, asking questions about the present, and collaborating to brainstorm solutions for the future. As Clinical Director of the Center for Loss and Renewal, I have an expertise in guiding clients on issues relating to loss and grief. Alongside this specialty I am gratified by the many couples I work with on relationship enhancement issues as well as the coaching work for business success.

I am a psychologist who earned my Ph.D. at NYU and completed psychoanalytic training at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.

I enjoy working with people who feel stuck in their lives. Over time, I have developed a broad range of techniques to help clients identify their problems and to support the changes they wish to make. My clients are diverse in their backgrounds, but the primary areas of focus for many of them are Procrastination, Anxiety, and ADD/ADHD. I also am interested in working with Adult Children of Alcoholics and individuals who are having difficulties in their relationships. I feel privileged to be able to assist people in making their lives more fulfilling and gratifying.

I specialize in short-term intensive psychotherapy and long-term psychotherapy with children, adolescents, adults, and families, and I conduct psychological testing. My work with children and adolescents has involved helping them navigate a range of emotional, behavioral, and academic difficulties. I have worked in private and public schools and counseled parents to help them advocate for their children's needs. My work with adults has included serving in outpatient and inpatient settings to address a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties managing stressors, relationship, career and marital problems.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working with adults, adolescents and children providing individual and couple therapy. I maintain private practices in both New York City and Cresskill, New Jersey. I see psychotherapy as a journey of exploration and transformation through which one can enhance both self-understanding and freedom of choice. I work in a collaborative manner with my clients and practice in a flexible and integrative manner employing both dynamic and cognitive behavioral techniques. Therapy sessions are conversational where we explore thoughts and feelings in a warm, safe and empathic environment.

I believe in utilizing psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, my practice also focuses on changing the neural pathways that can become distorted when we experience trauma. With the help of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we can work to heal childhood trauma, adult PTSD, and distorted thinking that limits joy and growth in your life. Additionally, I have experience with supporting clients with cognitive integration after a psychedelic treatment. I can support you in taking control of both your body and mind.

Are you missing appreciation? Does he stonewall? Does she not stop criticizing? Anxious and having trust issues? Do you feel a lack of sexual desire? Fighting over sexual frequency? I can help you stop the negative cycle. Feel love again. Feel intimate again. Trained specifically as a marriage and family therapist, I am a highly trained and experienced couples therapist. I am easy to talk to and skilled at creating tools to foster healthy connections between couples and families. Together, we repair your relationship by introducing new methods of communication to increase empathy and flexibility.

I enjoy working with neurospicy/neurosparkly people, queer people, chronically ill people, and people who simply are ready to dive into what it means to be a human in this world. I believe in the interconnectedness of the body, the mind, and the spirit and will bring it all into our sessions if that is what calls to you. I don't believe in pushing people to disclose if they don't want to. I work within a framework of consent and open-heartedness at all times. I want you to feel safe when you are with me and to learn how to hold that space for yourself as well. Please check out my website at mountainmeadowllc.me for more about me.
