Welcome! My name is Jami and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York. I have worked with a wide range of clients on diverse issues including anxiety, coping skills, depression, grief, stress, relationship issues, substance abuse, and trauma & PTSD, amongst others.

Although at times it seems like a daunting task, I believe that every individual has the potential to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Anyone who is courageous enough to begin therapy has taken the first step towards trying to achieve this. It is my belief that creating a therapeutic alliance based on emotional support and acceptance will lead you towards personal fulfillment. In a safe and supportive environment we can work together to overcome obstacles that are standing in the way of you achieving personal fulfillment.

Are you are looking for someone to help you deal with stress related to romantic relationships, dating, or friendships? Is trauma, self-confidence, anxiety, shame or depression, getting in the way of your goals? Navigating life challenges can be complicated. I can help by using a collaborative, warm, and change-oriented approach to help you manage struggles.

I make use of an integrated approach to psychotherapy that is individualized based on client need, incorporating cognitive behavioral, and dynamic approaches as appropriate, to address difficulties with mood, behavior, motivation, and relationships. I offer both short and longer term support, as you see fit, to help you grapple with the obstacles you are facing.

I believe each of us is truly unique and so are our needs. There is no "one size fits all" method of approaching treatment. As such, I work with clients in a collaborative atmosphere, developing strategies and goals which are both meaningful and achievable to you, specifically.

Beginning therapy takes great courage and I have the utmost respect for anyone taking that first step. I strive to create a safe therapeutic space of total acceptance for where you are in your journey. As a therapist, I listen to people and help make sense of both the struggles and the strengths. I bring warmth, humor and an active style to my sessions. I help my clients to find meaning in their experiences and to move forward to create new stories. Together, we help you create the life and relationships you want.

If you are someone who wants to make changes in your life but find you cannot do it alone, you may need a partner to help you achieve your goals. Psychotherapy is a path towards change, towards becoming the person you want to be. If you struggle with life's decisions, depression, anxiety, relationship worries, you may gain insight and personal strength through psychotherapy. When you make the choice for working in psychotherapy, it is a choice toward greater insight and pleasure in your life again. Psychotherapy will give you more personal freedom, more options to reach your goals.

Are you unsure of how to cope with recent changes? Are you tired of the repetition in your life that has led to the same frustrations and disappointments? Do you feel confused, without direction or purpose?

Sometimes it’s the feeling that something is missing from your life, the vague emptiness.

I help lgbtqia clients in their 20s & 30s understand relationships and build closer, more loving connections. Are you feeling alone? Need to feel heard and understood? Stuck in the same old relationship patterns? Want to deepen your communication? Many of us have blocks to feeling close with others. In a cis-hetero-patriarchal world, many of us have survived interpersonal trauma. But healing is possible. Together, we got this. Now, let's get to work.

I am a compassionate licensed mental health counselor who is committed to providing dedicated care in a safe environment. Together we can begin to cope with issues of the past and present. Through collaboration we can start working towards building a better future.

My main goal is to help clients to achieve their full potential and enjoy life. My professional values are safety, trust and communication.

The privacy of our emotional suffering can be painful. Not being able to share our innermost thoughts and feelings makes it difficult to have more meaningful relationships and to experience ourselves in a way that is life-enhancing. Having taken this first step to begin psychotherapy means that a part of you has chosen a personal path of healing. Talking with a psychoanalyst, someone who understands the complexities of the emotional world, will bring to life your pains, desires, and conflicts within a non-judgemental process that is both soothing and life-changing.

Currently, after 15 years of working at the city outpatient mental health clinic I am very excited to open my own private practice providing a high quality of care using telehealth platforms. I have experience helping clients of different age groups and with various mental health issues. My ideal client is someone who suffers from depression/ anxiety/ bipolar disorders, has relationships issues or difficulties to cope with work, school or life transitions stressors. Also, I like to help immigrants adjusting to living in the USA, especially clients from the former Soviet Union. I am fluent in English and Russian languages.

Knowing yourself deeply is a key ingredient in creating the life you want. I help people understand the psychological meaning of their symptoms, become aware of unhelpful patterns they repeat, learn how to handle difficult emotions, and recognize that they can make choices based on self-awareness rather than fear. I consider it a privilege to treat those who seek my help. I am an empathic listener who is also actively engaged in the therapeutic process. My goal is to promote wellness and not to just relieve symptoms .

I specialize in working with adults with overwhelmed nervous systems, which includes all of us facing climate catastrophe and rising fascism. I use a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework that sees mental health not as an individual problem, but one rooted in systemic and structural problems. I use historical and material conditions as a context to understand ways systems of oppression are replicated in therapy despite intent, including ways adaptive responses to a hostile social environment are labeled “disordered.”

I believe in everyone’s ability to heal and grow. With genuine care, authenticity, and deep respect, I accompany clients on their journey. We will explore the route of your struggles and uncover any blocks or adaptations that don't serve you today, which will allow you to experience and share more of your true SELF. I provide a safe, supportive environment to do deep work, grieve losses, heal traumas, anxieties, and depression, and develop a more secure relationship with yourself, others and the world. Together we will discover and hone your inner strengths, your ability to be present, and help you make the changes you desire!
