"I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 30 years of experience. My greatest strength as a therapist is helping clients gain freedom to be aware of everything they feel and to make decisions about how they are going to express those feelings in their daily living. I am a highly interactive therapist, guiding the direction of exploration within a session, challenging the restrictive beliefs that the client has held since childhood, and advising behavior outside the session."

"No matter how many times you promise yourself that this is the last time – there is always another… Another binge… Another purge… Another meal that must be restricted… Another weight you have to reach… Another and another and another… No matter how miserable this is, no matter how many times you promise yourself that this is the last time – there is always another. It's torturous, it's misery, and it's dominating your life. The good news is, that when you're finally ready to break the cycle, there is help - and hope."

"Something happened – something scary and overwhelming – and life hasn’t been the same since. You find yourself avoiding close relationships or social events because you just can’t tolerate the fear that they trigger. You notice that you’re much more reactive than you used to be – loud noises, sudden movements, unexpected events – they all provoke a burst of anxiety. And no matter your intention, no matter how much time passes, you keep reacting, you stay hypervigilant, you look for danger everywhere. When this goes on for some time, it’s easy to become despondent, overwhelmed, and exhausted. This doesn’t feel okay – not anymore."

"Emotions are overwhelming you - your feelings get so big that you lose perspective and it seems you cannot act rationally. When you find yourself using substances or behaviors like alcohol, food, shopping, money, or emotional manipulation to manage these moments, it’s time to try something new: Dialectical Behavior Therapy. DBT is useful for those experiencing emotional distress as well as those having difficulty with procrastination, isolation, relationship conflict, or work effectiveness. DBT is especially helpful for individuals who have difficulty regulating their emotions."

"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."

"Are you struggling with anxiety, substance use, eating disorders, depression, or loneliness? Are you seeking non-judgmental support from a caring, well-trained therapist you can trust?

Wherever you are in this moment, you will be embraced, treated with dignity, and supported in your journey to become a better you. Get the support you deserve. Please call now for a free phone consultation."

"My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and confidential. Shifting moods, relational misunderstandings, professional stressors, or trauma are just some of the things that can be problematic in life. I will work with you to gain the insight needed to better address things that may be problematic for you, while just as importantly, helping you recognize your strengths and potential for growth."

"I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Psychologist working with individuals who may be having difficulty coping with feelings of anxiety, depression, or interpersonal challenges. My experience working with a cognitive behavioral and mindfulness based orientation promotes self-awareness, more adaptive coping skills and greater insight into working through challenges."

"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."

"I am a licensed clinical psychologist working in the field for over 30 years with children, adolescents and adults, individually and in family units. I help people across the age spectrum deal with anxiety and depression, along with the attendant school, work and relationship problems. My focus is on helping people overcome problems through self-understanding and manage their everyday lives through developing more effective coping skills."

"I provide psychotherapy services to individuals, couples and families in a comfortable and confidential setting. I offer a personalized approach to treatment with a supportive, collaborative and interactive style. I treat a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, social isolation, medical illness, infertility, substance abuse, grief and loss, life transitions, goal setting and career strategy. I exhibit cultural sensitivity, and understand the patient as part of a system of family, work, friends, and community. I help patients identify key areas of their lives to nurture, maintain, grow or adjust in order to feel in balance."

"Welcome. I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in issues pertaining to young adulthood, anxiety, depression, substance use issues, relationship concerns, career and life transitions, academic difficulties, and questions about identity. I received my MSW from Columbia University and MPA from The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. I am a graduate of NYU Psychoanalytic Institute's Psychodynamic Psychotherapy of Adults program and William Alanson White Institute's Eating Disorders Compulsions and Addiction program. I have received extensive trainings in evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Relapse Prevention, Harm Reduction Psychotherapy and Motivational Interviewing."

"I have enjoyed working with individuals and couples seeking relief from a wide range of issues (since 1979). I excel in connecting with people in a way that would leave you feeling understood and I have the experience and skills to guide you to the place where you can understand your options for relief, growth and change. My training in mind/body therapy and clinical hypnotherapy are powerful tools that are strss-reducing and facilitate your feeling empowered. To watch people clarify their goals, heal themselves and/or their relationships, and reclaim control of their lives is truly my passion."

"Life can feel overwhelming at times. Some might find it difficult to find the emotional courage to seek psychotherapy when you are already dealing with a quagmire of complex competing loyalties, identities, and personal and political conflicts. Whether you are dealing with the stress of racial identity, cultural integration, concerns related to fertility, substance abuse, or transitions throughout the life cycle, this process does not have to be an isolative experience. Carrying around those frustrations with nowhere to process them can further exacerbate difficulties in daily activities."

"I am an experienced psychotherapist in practice for 26 years, who is a supportive, non judgmental listener. Working with couples and individuals, I have treated depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship issues, gender/sexual identity issues and coping with illness (with a specialization in breast cancer). My clients include straight, lesbian and gay individuals and couples. My educational background includes training as a psychoanalyst with a psychodynamic, interactive focus."

"I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of disordered eating and body image concerns, as well as issues related to women's health, pregnancy, miscarriage, and adjustment to significant life transitions such as parenthood, work-family balance, college, career change, and loss. I believe a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship is essential in the facilitation of healing, and the process of growth and change. I employ an integrative method, drawing from various theoretical understandings and treatment modalities, to develop an effective approach to address distinct needs."

"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."

"It’s getting physically and mentally harder to make it day-to-day. The amount of energy you spend managing your food, managing your impulses, managing your negative body image is unsustainable. It’s exhausting! Some days, finding something that you can tolerate wearing is virtually impossible. You end up with a crumpled pile of clothing on your bed – a mound of misery that will have to be dealt with when you get home tonight. Still, you can’t stop. But you really want to."

"My style is active, non-judgemental, supportive and collaborative . I believe that emotional injuries from the past live in the present, effecting how we relate and react to people and events throughout life. Psychotherapy has the potential to help heal past wounds and impart the insight needed to change how one views oneself and one's own participation in conflicts and problems. I am an empathic listener and strive to help clients grow in all aspects of life."
