Therapists in Upper East Side, New York, NY

Do you have a child or adolescent who has difficulty concentrating at school or defiant at home? Or is your child or adolescent having difficulty adjusting to a divorce? Is your child being picked on at school? Do you have a college age student who is unhappy or not doing well academically? I can help. I am a psychologist with expertise in treating children/adolescents and young adults. I work with children/adolescents of divorce parents and specialize in treating ADHD, depression, anxiety, school and family problems. I have a subspecialty in evaluating and treating children/adolescents with a trauma history.

My goal is to help you feel less alone and overwhelmed by the challenges life can present .I have over 30 years experience in helping people recognize their strengths and ultimately improve their self-esteem and day to day functioning. I have a general practice (anxiety, depression, mood and adjustment disorders) and I have special interests including working with young adults and relationship issues, including dating , breakups, singledom,marriage and parenting. I am interested in helping you improve yourself and your relationships in a space that is safe and comfortable.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with adults as well as children, adolescents, and their parents. While working remotely, I am primarily seeing pre-teens, teenagers, and adults. I work with people for various reasons including anxiety, depression, wanting to develop a stronger sense of self, relationship stresses, difficulty reaching goals, and adjusting to new life stages. I provide a warm, collaborative, and empathic environment in which we can explore and get a better understanding of your particular experiences and work to help you or your child/teen feel better and make positive changes.

You may now be seeking help to simply feel better. However, I have found over my many years of practice that therapy will usually make your entire life better as well. Often anxiety, low self esteem, depression, relationship problems, and underlying conflicts we may not even fully understand, limit us from achieving what we want in our lives. Sometimes, we even need to discover what we truly want in order to be happy and successful. My therapeutic approach is proactive and geared toward directly achieving positive change.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist/Neuropsychologist, I provide a nurturing, warm, and supportive environment in working with individuals and families.

Utilizing a broad focus of evidence-based treatment to best suit an individual, I incorporate an eclectic, psychodynamic, supportive approach, and CBT with children, adolescents, and adults.

Selected by NASW as Nassau County's "Social Worker of the Year for 2013", I have been providing quick symptom relief and comprehensive healing for 32 years. As I believe in "different strokes for different folks," I utilize Havening, EMDR, and DNMS to achieve these results. Clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and panic attacks have all benefitted. I also provide counseling for alcohol and substance abusers where I specialize in relapse prevention. Child and adolescent issues are also actively addressed, along with parenting concerns. Relief is available for those experiencing grief and other trauma i.e. car crash victims.

I believe children and parents can have a happy time together. All children as they grow and all parents as they go through parenting encounter kinks in their development. I like to help children and adolescents learn to listen to and express their feelings directly and to help parents learn how to listen and communicate better with their children. With over 25 years of experience working individually with children and parents, in play group therapy and in parenting groups, I know how to use the strengths of each, child and parent, to promote better understanding of themselves and each other.

The core of my practice revolves around the reality that transitions, especially around starting, growing and managing a family can present a multitude of challenges, and that therapy can help both individuals and families develop strategies to not only cope with difficulties, but also learn to thrive.
