Therapists in 10003

Working with individuals, families, children and teens for the past 20 years, I have come to learn that we all want to be understood so that we may live healthier, more productive lives. Often times however, conflicts and repetitive behaviors prevent us from finding the satisfaction we desire. Depression, anxiety, and a host of other self defeating conditions or behaviors can emerge that interfere with basic relationship success and can cause work, or school related difficulties. My approach is to work closely with you through any issues, in an atmosphere of acceptance and support, designed to address your individual needs.

For over 22 years, I've enjoyed helping people to develop strategies to reduce stress/anxiety, depression, and successfully navigate common life issues related to career, life transitions, and grief/loss. As we all are trying to cope with the current crisis, we are having to adjust and find ways to maintain our mental health, relationships, friendships, and health. I offer phone and video (FaceTime & Zoom) sessions until we get out of this crisis and can resume office visits. I have sliding scale rates based on household income. Please contact me for more information. Wishing everyone the very best during these challenging times.

Do you feel frustrated and stuck? Wondering if you are on the right track? Do you want change but don't know what kind of change or how to get there? Are you going through a life transition? Do you question wether your life can have more meaning? Or maybe you find yourself repeating the same pattern over and over and don’t know how to change it? I am here to help and support you. I will work with you to find your own inner resources, heal and integrate past experiences, feel more comfortable in your own skin and at home in the world, and experience more joy, peace and meaning in your life and relationships.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck, unseen, or disconnected? Have these feelings intensified after 2+ years of pandemic? Are you wanting more from your relationships and your work? Do things like creativity and embodiment feel elusive and out of reach? Or are you a performer or achiever who is often put on a pedestal by those around you, idolized yet at a distance from the kind of care you actually want?

Do you feel isolated in emotional pain and confused about how to begin to address it? Do you feel alone and misunderstood in your relationships? I am a licensed psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice for nineteen years. I have worked with a full spectrum of struggles to achieve fulfillment, overcome fears and trauma as well as reaching self-fulfillment and meaning. I have held clinical leadership positions at St. Luke's Hospital in New York and served as Clinical Field Instructor for Columbia University and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Miami Department of Psychiatry.

Through careful listening and an empathic, honest approach I can help you feel better about yourself and your life. You may feel stuck in a job or relationship. You may want more from life but not know how to get it. You may be struggling with with the difficulties of parenthood or marriage. I can help with artistic, creative, or intellectual struggles, body issues, sexual problems, substance issues, imbalances of life and work, impulse control, past trauma, or even just a general lack of inspiration or motivation in life.

Welcome to my practice! I aim to help my patients lead lives that are fulfilled and meaningful. I do so by collaboratively working to understand the internal restrictions that may be keeping them from taking full possession of their lives, relieving painful symptoms in the process. I have repeatedly seen that psychotherapy can nourish experiences of presence and vitality, deepen satisfaction in one’s relationships, and generate energy for creative, professional, and leisurely pursuits. If you seek self-understanding and relief from psychic suffering, I may be the therapist for you. I look forward to meeting you.

I am a NY State Licensed Creative Arts Therapist with over 20 years of experience. I am trained in Trauma-informed, Psychodynamic, Client-Centered Psychotherapy, EMDR (Level 1), and Mindfulness/Meditation as well. I believe therapy helps people to access coping skills, enhance their happiness, strengthen relationships, and find/make meaning in their lives. I help my clients to find their own unique strengths and resilience and to navigate the natural ups and downs of life. I offer a compassionate and authentic approach and evidenced-based interventions. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client.

As a licensed psychologist, the core of my approach is a genuine desire to ensure you feel understood and cared for. Throughout our time together, we will collaboratively work to harness your innate resources for growth, resilience, and change in order to achieve your treatment goals. I will support you in your process of gaining insight into behaviors and patterns that no longer serve in your best interest while simultaneously developing effective coping mechanisms. Effective therapy begins with the right match and I strive to provide a collaborative, safe, compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can feel seen and heard.

Life can be difficult at times. For many of us protecting ourselves from knowing our suffering can take the form of troubling emotional symptoms, self-destructiveness as well as anxieties and inhibitions. Yet it is precisely these symptoms we must take the time to listen to as messages communicating something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes - the emotional meanings of our personal history. By listening to you closely and carefully, we will explore together thoughts and feelings that were previously unknown to you yet powerfully affect your life. Talking changes the way things look.

I work with people who are looking to understand what they’re struggling with so that they can live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. Together we’ll try to understand the issue that brought you to therapy, and other issues that may come to the surface along the way. With insight often comes the knowledge of what you would like to be different, or how to best manage the circumstances you’re facing.

Hello. My name is Yael Sommer. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience spanning over two decades. While I possess experience working with individuals across all age groups, my current practice focuses mostly on adults and couples. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from various theories, such as attachment/relational dynamics, client-centered therapy, strength-based approaches, and cognitive behavioral theory. The specific approach I employ with each client depends on their unique concerns, the duration of their therapeutic engagement, and their desired outcomes.

For thousands of years, philosophers have been developing powerful tools for facing the deepest challenges in human life. In our sessions, we use these tools to empower you to think independently, live confidently and choose courageously. We approach your issues of thought and feeling as an architect approaches redesigning a standing structure: We try to understand and save what works well; but together, strive to increase the coherence, order and harmony. We push through to the deepest aspects of your questions, pursue the clearest formulations of your thoughts, and build strong bridges toward objectivity.

Searching through lists of therapists is no one's idea of a good time. Hopefully you have been able to reflect on what is important to you during this stressful and terrifying Covid-19 pandemic. I like to be able to find something positive about a dark time, but I am not relentlessly positive, nor do I think it is healthy for anyone to be constantly content or joyful. Life just doesn't work that way. Let me help you to define or articulate what is painful & discover alternate paths forward. Balance means embracing the positive and enduring the negative and having the self knowledge to know which is which.
