We'll explore your experiences and losses. We will move toward practical steps for your growth, confidence, contentment and comfort."

"*Accepting new clients* New to therapy? Living in New York can be hard, especially if you feel alone. Sometimes we struggle with a change in work status or the beginning or ending of a relationship and find that we need new coping strategies and someone to talk to. Other times, the impact of difficult family dynamics, trauma, or a stressful/unsatisfying profession can really test our limits. Together, we can explore and reduce your anxieties about these and other issues, gain insights into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and make changes that lead to a more satisfying and meaningful life."

"I understand how difficult it can be to decide to seek help for life's obstacles. In my practice, my goal is to help my clients become experts on themselves. Every end is a new beginning. If you're challenged with relationship issues, family conflict, parenting, a trauma history, depression, anxiety or have a child or an adolescent who is struggling with behavioral issues, or just looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation and looking to move in a new direction, I encourage you to let me help you with your experiences."

"There are so many ways of helping people to triumph over depression, anxiety and/or trauma. Talk therapy helps people understand what blocks have been created to interfere with accomplishing goals; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clear thinking and confident moving ahead, EMDR integrates rational and creative brains to eliminate trauma-based blocks; Comprehensive Resource Model to heal childhood wounds that are interfering in present life; Somatic Experiencing to heal body-based reactions from past small or big traumas; hypnotherapy to be guided toward an optimal future self."

"Many of us long for a more fulfilling life but aren't quite sure how to get there. Our lives may look ideal from the outside, but internally, something is missing. Often times we feel stuck in our current situations. My goal is to create a welcoming and safe environment where you can gain better understanding into what is keeping you stuck, and help you to make the changes necessary to live more authentically."

"I believe one of the cornerstones of effective therapy is a positive therapeutic relationship. I treat individuals of all ages and backgrounds, and tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the needs and inclinations of each of my clients. Using a mix of psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and expressive arts therapy, I treat problems such as anxiety and depression, coping with trauma, relationship and family issues, and problems of childhood and adolescence."

"I am interested in each person's story and what brings him or her to therapy. My genuine interest in people plays an important role in addition to my 25 years of experience. I see my job as helping each person understand what may be blocking him or her from getting what he/she wants in life. I use a variety of techniques, tailored to each person's needs. I enjoy the process of forming a unique, collaborative relationship with each individual, leading to helpful change."

"Life is filled with obstacles that have to be negotiated on a daily basis in order for us to move forward. I've helped adolescents, adults and couples do this by working through- and in developing coping strategies to use in addressing- many issues, including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, related mood disorders, addiction, loss, grief, severe mental illness, trauma, family conflict and uncertainty about a direction in life. Through 'straight'- honest- talk, deep reflection, exploration, identification and acknowledgement of the problem, I can help you develop effective ways to 'free up' the oftentimes fixed and toxic self-perceptions that may be holding you back."

"I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience treating children, adolescents, adults, couples and families from a wide array of backgrounds. I bring a warm, down-to-earth, strength-based approach to therapy. Working in a variety of modalities tailored to individual needs, I have helped many children, teens and their families resolve conflict and change longstanding patterns that aren't working anymore. Together, we can work to learn new problem-solving tools that you can carry forward through life."

"As humans we are conditioned to avoid pain and we think and behave in certain ways learned through our upbringing, culture and other life experiences. Therapy gives us the opportunity to reflect on these experiences and interpretations of the world in order to recognize what is no longer serving us. Sometimes all we need is the right guidance to get on the right course of change or action."

"As you contemplate the opportunity to begin therapy, you may be facing a difficult life challenge, seeking change, craving self-understanding or resolution. My years of practice have taught me that meaning can be found even in our most challenging times, and that in our journey toward change lies our strength to overcome even the most challenging of things. A Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I offer you a safe and exploratory counseling relationship in which you will be empathically guided to gain self-awareness and supported to tackle the challenges that lie ahead in your personal journey."

"I work as a coach for issues related to professional and career goals. I give support and pragmatic tools to individuals who work independently or who for any reason need someone to help navigate their professional lives. You may be taking on a variety of jobs, be going through a work or personal life transition, or face uncertainty in the workplace. Or, you may be settled into a “successful career path” but looking to find deeper meaning in your work or other ways you spend your time. My purpose as your coach is to join you in your ambitious goals while anticipating ways to implement them that are sustainable and avoid burnout. Your professional life should not mean compromising your health, financial needs, or personal relationships. Coaching will help you identify manageable goals and move forward, taking your plans to the next level."

"Drawing from my background in clinical social work, dance/movement therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and psychoanalytic psychotherapy I use an eclectic approach tailored to each client's individual needs to help you overcome your obstacles to leading a richer, more satisfying, and more meaningful life.

"The time to plan and develop a new family is a time of challenges and innumerable opportunities for growth. The relationship between parent and child will provide the foundation for this developing being to perceive the self and exist in the world. To assist you during this process, Sara Rothstein and I founded Art of Parenting. AOP provides several services specializing in the early stages of family planning and growth. Our groups use art making and discussion to focus on the parents' emotional and psychological process, and in turn on how parents can better nurture their children."

"I am a child and adolescent therapist who works with young people and their families in a developmentally sensitive manner. Through careful listening and collaborative parent work, we create the possibility for change. Younger children use play as their most authentic means of communication. Talking directly about worries can be overwhelming. Play becomes a rich way for me to communicate with your child. Older children often communicate directly about their concerns, but will play while we talk. Play gives them a feeling of control and familiarity when addressing difficult issues."

"I offer a safe, comfortable place to bring your hopes, fears, pain, confusion and excitement; where your thoughts and feelings will be respected and heard and your strengths acknowledged and utilized. Together, we will work to understand and transform the areas of suffering and/or concern. I am not afraid to go to where you need to travel. I work with trauma, grief, unhappy relationships, problematic behaviors, feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness or those who want to make their life "better." I have a large "toolbox" of techniques and approaches that help to create an experience suited to you."
