Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 11102

Are you finding yourself constantly overwhelmed by anxiety? Are the symptoms of your lingering anxiety impacting the quality of your life? I know exactly what you are experiencing: the pounding chest, tightened muscles, clenched jaw, and on/off cold sweats. People often suffer from anxiety for many years without seeking treatment. I believe that holistic and evidence based practices can reduce anxiety and panic, and I look forward to teaching you tools to help take your life back. I also work with LGBTQ couples who are struggling with a variety of concerns like sexual/intimacy issues, communication, codependency, and infidelity.

I specialize in working with clients with trauma history, relationship issues, life transitions, impulsive behavior, anger, depression, and anxiety. I also welcome individuals who are looking for self-knowledge and self-growth and want to fulfill their potential. I work with young adults and adults of all racial, ethical, and cultural backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations.

"We're all just walking each other home" -Ram Dass. My therapeutic approach provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment that meets clients where they are at. As we work together clients are able to increase their internal awareness, accomplish goals, and improve their lives. I have a great deal of experience with clients who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, as well as those with substance use problems.

Are you struggling with events from your past that make it difficult for you to engage in the present? Or wanting to understand why you are not feeling like yourself, and hoping to regain more control over your life? Perhaps you want to change some of your personal relationships, or shift generational patterns in your family. You have made a big step by reaching out for therapy and I hope to be able to help you thrive and find joy in your roles.

I work with clients interested in self-exploration or symptom relief. My goal is to collaborate with each client to make their therapy experience both affirming and change-oriented. I often seek a middle path with clients, to avoid all or nothing thinking - something that causes many of us to feel stuck and uncomfortable. The idea is to move closer to your values and needs while reducing anxiety, tension, stress, and dysphoria.

I am a licensed social worker in the states of New York and Connecticut with experience working with a wide range of different populations across the mental health field, including child/adolescent and adult clients. I have experience working in school settings, outpatient settings, emergency rooms, and inpatient psychiatric settings. I am currently affiliated with Bellevue Hospital, working in the Juvenile Justice Mental Health Services program. I graduated from Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Services where I participated in the Pipeline for Youth Health Fellowship program.

The most important part of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. I pride myself in building strong, caring therapeutic alliances. I have expertise in treating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, phobias, and PTSD. Nobody likes to admit that they need help, but sometimes it can be a life transforming opportunity.

You've just taken the first step towards advancing your own personal growth. It can be difficult to address the painful or uncomfortable matters in our lives, but it is the only way to propel ourselves forward; to make the future stronger than the past. While the past will always play a role in shaping our future, it doesn't define it. Through counseling, we will work together to identify and overcome whatever obstacles may be in your path. With a clear mind and an empowered spirit, you'll be on your way to living a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.

My experience includes providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults in different settings. I also have experience facilitating a group for adolescents, as well as using Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Multisystemic Therapy for Child Abuse and Neglect (MST-CAN). Although I have experience working with all ages, I enjoy helping children and adolescents overcome their challenges. My background includes working wi

Few things are harder than struggling alone. You might be holding onto pain from your family, friends, or past relationships. Or it could feel like you're stuck inside a traumatic event that chains your life. It might feel like no one understands how deeply sad, intensely angry, or desperately helpless you feel. But you're not alone. Healing from trauma is not just a concept; it is an attainable reality. It would be an honor to be invited on your journey towards healing, reparation and building a life worth living. I believe the goal of therapy is not just to stop the suffering, but to create a sustained life of thriving and joy.

I work with adults transitioning emotionally, professionally, and in interpersonally. My clients desire emotional growth; they understand that change happens from within. The clients I work with strive for deeper connections and the creation of meaningful lives.

Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes we need a dedicated space to explore its complexities. If you find yourself needing time and space for self-reflection, I provide a nurturing environment where we can collaboratively work through your challenges. Your journey is unique, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Therapy is a chance to discover more about yourself - everyone deserves this opportunity. In our sessions, we will identify ways to overcome your challenges and help you become more self-aware and empowered in your decision-making, to build the life you want. Together, we can seek what motivates you while you develop coping skills and learn how to perspective-take, to reframe negative beliefs.

Counseling is a tool to create change in an individual. My goal is to empower you to believe in yourself and reinforce your ability to make healthier decisions in life. Please feel free to email me or book directly with me on My Website!

Do you want to overcome depression or anxiety and feel confident? Are you struggling with relationships? Do you find yourself getting angry quickly? Sometimes life transitions get difficult to manage. I have been helping people with these problems for 10 years and we can work collaboratively and holistically. We will focus on physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of your life. We will figure out your best qualities and strengths, your personal resources and virtues to realize your true potential that will help you heal.

I am a caring, eclectic, and nonjudgmental therapist who specializes in working with adolescents, ages 12-24. I come from a place of empowerment and am trained in CBT, DBT, talk therapy, motivational interviewing, and superhero therapy. I am also in the process of getting certified in TF-CBT. I start where the person I am working with is and get to know them! I try different things with clients and see what they like and don't like, and we go from there. I don't believe therapy is one-size-fits-all. I love helping young people work toward their goals and feel better about themselves!

There's nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken, though I honor if you feel this way. I am passionate about guiding clients to restore their sense of wholeness by releasing the painful emotions/beliefs (some which are subconscious) that are contributing to issues such as anxiety/phobias, depression, harmful and limiting patterns/behaviors, emotional dysregulation, PTSD, feeling stuck/lost, low self-esteem, addiction, chronic pain/illness, etc etc.

You want to live more freely, more wholly, more in touch with who you really are. You want to find your way to wholeness and freedom. You may be looking to share and explore things that have never felt safe to open up before. You may have tried and benefited from other kinds of therapy, and are interested now in treatment that is focused on real, embodied experience now, in the present, rather than endlessly re-telling the same stories. You may have realized how the past has affected you, and you would rather define yourself than being bound by it. You are ready above all to reclaim your own innate goodness, wholeness, and strength.

Sometimes there is a concrete event or change we can point to as the cause for increased anxiety, depressed mood or relationship conflicts, but other times we just feel “off” and unsure of how to get back to our sense of control or centeredness. For many people, they are living in “survival mode” – on a constant hamster-wheel trying to stay productive & avoid unpleasant feelings OR in total shutdown. However, over time that wears us down, and we need a little unbiased support to work through our inner struggles or past injuries that prevent us from living a life of contentment.
