Adoption Therapists in 10006

Sometimes life throws curves that seem to be insurmountable. Talking with a therapist can help you pay attention to and resolve the conflict that has gotten in the way of you having a more fulfilling life. Problems at work or school, inability to get a good night's rest, overeating are among the issues that you can't see as having you stuck. Depression or anxiety are real issues that must be worked through to get you back on track. Separation and loss are areas that can cause trauma. Trauma can be leaving home to go to college, the loss of a relationship, grief of loosing someone to death. Talking can get you through.

I am a psychotherapist who believes in healing through holistic means. I use client-centered and relational approaches to offer support, suggest solutions, and build sustaining change with my clients.

I am an Individual, Couples, and Family Therapist practicing in NYC for the past several years. I have completed a post graduate training program at the Ackerman Institute for the Family, and have training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and trauma-informed practice. My practice is collaborative, engaging, transparent, and empathetic. I work to build bridges of understanding within and amongst individuals using a systemic approach that focuses on reducing blame, hopelessness, and anxiety so as to build bonds of connection, love, and compassion.

Do you wonder, despite all the outward signs of a successful life, why you aren't happier or more fulfilled? Perhaps you're frustrated or anxious about work, making it difficult to be around other people or find enjoyment. Or you're unsure about the job or relationship you've ended up in. You may find yourself sleeping less, eating more, or feeling increasingly "stuck."

I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in evidenced-based treatment for children and adolescents. I also provide Parent Management Training, an evidence-based treatment program for parents who find their child's behavior difficult to handle. I have received extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based treatment. My approach to treatment is goal oriented, time-limited and skills-based. I take a nonjudgmental and empathetic approach to patterns of behavior that may be inhibiting your child or teenager from living life to his or her fullest potential.

Looking for new ways to grow your life? My practice is inspired by holistic and integrative therapies, and my years as a musician as much as by my training at Columbia University and the American Cognitive Behavior Institute. But it's your needs, not my interests that will determine the shape of our work together. I use both empirical techniques and creative conversation to tailor therapy to best help the people I see. What matters is you getting the help you need.

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.
