There is hope and a way forward.

Transform Your Life Through Therapy. For over 15 years, I've cultivated a safe, judgment-free sanctuary for clients to self-discover and heal. As an attuned, compassionate therapist, I gently guide you through your journey. My integrative approach draws from evidenced-based methodologies like CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, Trauma and Attachment Based Therapies, mindfulness practices, and somatic psychotherapy. By rewiring your story, you'll experience a profound transformation that extends far beyond the therapy room.

Deciding to come to therapy can be a difficult decision; one that takes courage and often comes with some anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail. I consider empathy, sympathy, and honesty are the key elements to a nurturing and successful therapeutic relationship. I’ve spent the last 4 years training and working with clients at institutions such as New York Presbyterian, New York University and Cornell Medical College. *** Hablo Espanol*****

Many of my clients come to see me out of frustration with their personal relationships or work roles. Such frustration can manifest in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and negative coping. I provide a supportive, yet challenging environment that fosters emotional well-being, new insights, and change. With a positive approach that focuses on individual and contextual strengths, my goal is to help clients develop the self-awareness, self-confidence, and skills necessary to overcome perceived obstacles and improve their relationships and work satisfaction.

Cristina Spataro has worked with children and families in crisis for the past 17 years. If there is one thing she has learned, it is that everyone has the capacity for change if they truly want it. Life is hard, and the “right” choices are not always so apparent. Our decisions and their consequences leave us questioning ourselves.

I have 25 years experience working productively with people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and sexual orientations. Our job together is to identify dysfunctional patterns that contribute to—even perpetuate—your difficulties. The main focus of therapy is to remove inner and outer obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals and having better relationships. Please note, after years of counseling and assessment in offices, I‘ve recently moved into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too.

My philosophy is simple in regards to problem solving, effective communication, improving relationships, working towards reaching a personal maximum potential and in healing from trauma. It’s to identify thoughts, feelings, wants, and needs. I believe that as soon as a person is able to communicate these four insight oriented drives, life immediately begins to improve and problems get solved. While this may sound easy, for many people it takes time to gain insight, self-evaluate, uncover and accept why we are the way we are (ie: biology and life experiences), decide on and follow through on changes to make in their life.

I believe that psychotherapy and psychoanalysis can be immensely useful in helping you recognize and understand deeply embedded ways of thinking about yourself and reacting to others around you. It is often those habitual modes of operating that contribute to anxiety, depression and a life lived below your potential and without contentment. I use the tools of psychoanalysis to facilitate your recognition of these patterns in an empathic and non-judgmental environment.
