Therapists in 10060

I have been seeing patients for over 19 years and my experience has shown me time and again the wonderful changes that individuals can attain when they become more aware of the hidden meanings behind seemingly incomprehensible and self-destructive behaviors. When one takes the time to try to understand these behaviors instead of simply judging them negatively, it is often the case that maladaptive behavior patterns are discovered to be attempts persisting from the past at finding the best solution to a difficult situation.

My passion and focus is working with adults, adolescents, and families experiencing distress in their relationships and/or symptoms of depression and anxiety. I approach my work with clients from a place of genuine curiosity and understanding. I aim to provide a safe space where we can discuss the challenges getting in the way of achieving your goals and create a sustainable support system for lasting change in your life. I pride myself on being transparent during the process and an active participant in session.

I imagine you may wonder what your life means. You might want to feel vitally connected to nature, the spiritual world and people in your life. Or you feel sad or numb and want to understand why, to feel more energy. Or you just want to sit still and not worry about the future. In one way or another, you are looking to feel safe and fulfilled, to relieve distress and feel less alone. Perhaps you feel loneliness and don't know what to do about it or have an addiction you sometimes hide and sometimes admit to yourself. You may have a child or adolescent you're concerned about, with conflicts you hope can heal.

I have thirty years of experience working with individuals ,couples and families. My work and practice experience has made me acutely sensitive to needs of adults with chronic illness, and with parents whose children have learning disabilities. I am a trained psychoanalyst and my psycho dynamic approach to my work enlarges clients understanding of their situations and offers them insight into patterns of behavior that interfere with their functioning in a variety of interpersonal relationships.I also have extensive experience working with individuals who suffer from anxiety and/or depression.

My practice centers on acceptance and creating a safe place to explore roadblocks to freedom. I hope to support clients towards authenticity of who they were designed to be. Through a holistic approach I account for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing in how they all cooperate and balance together.

The right therapist will help you understand yourself better-who you are, how you think, your hidden fears and motivations-in order to identify and disrupt the patters in your life that may be holding you back. I am a licensed psychotherapist with extensive training in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice. In a safe, caring, and nonjudgmental environment, we will explore recent and past experiences that may be getting in your way and work together to overcome issues related to depression, anxiety, anger, post traumatic stress, stagnation in your career and personal life, and/or difficulty maintaining healthy relationships.

I am a cognitive psychologist -- a practical person who will help you understand: What are your goals, and what is blocking you from reaching them? We'll work together to get a handle on how your thoughts may be impeding your progress, and, more importantly, how to adjust your thoughts to increase your chances of success.

I encourage and support individuals to live authentically and embrace their individuality. In helping people create healthier habits and set SMART goals my clients are successful. I'm there to help them with the challenges they may come across in the process. As their accountability partner, we work as a team, it's a collaborative relationship that is free of judgement and my clients feel safe to explore their options.

I work best with adolescents and adults with a clear desire to make behavioral changes in their life and are not content with insight alone. They must be willing to actively collaborate in getting better and commit to learning new strategies for coping.

Profound change often can be accomplished by simple shifts in understanding. In my 30 years of private practice with individuals, couples and groups I have helped people develop better relationships and more satisfying lives.

To quote my patients: "Isolation STINKS" "Remote work is EH", "When will I be able to date and see my friends" If these feelings resonate, I can help you work through them and come out stronger from the experience. Concurrent with my private practice, I worked as a clinical consultant for Right Management Associates, an outplacement firm. Subsequently, I was a partner at Harris, Rothenberg Int. (HRI), a global firm that provided psychological counseling to law firms and major organizations.
