Adoption Therapists in 10010

Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! Are you struggling with adoption or attachment related issues, relationship conflicts, grief, anxiety, work struggles or just general life things? I strive to create a warm, compassionate space where client's feel comfortable exploring and challenging their feelings and behavior patterns while facilitating growth and healing . We all need a space and a person to help us work through our concerns. Let me be that person.

If you or your child are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship issues, school problems, life transitions, adoption or attachment related issues, impacts of trauma, or depression, I'm listening. There is hope and a way forward. I offer a safe, supportive space to deepen self-awareness, build empowerment, and identify and alleviate sources of distress or pain to create positive, lasting change. I welcome and work with clients from all backgrounds and enjoy working with students, adults, creative types, and people of color. I also specialize in working with adoptees and their families as I am personally connected to adoption.

Inevitably, we all encounter periods in our lives in which what we've learned to that point isn't sufficient for the challenges we now face. I believe therapy can be a rich environment in which to better understand ourselves and the world and to revisit what we want in life and how to get there. Whether you are dealing with significant anxiety or depression, or simply need a new environment to learn your way through new challenges with a helping eye and ear, I bring a creative, curious and open-minded approach to helping you progress through life's challenges.

Woman to Woman Psychiatry: Mental health across the lifespan. I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is ANCC board certified and a former Certified Nurse Midwife, with over 30 years of experience. My specialty is in women’s mental health throughout the reproductive and menopausal years. I work with women struggling with emotional symptoms at every stage of childbearing; preconception through pregnancy, postpartum, lactation, and menopause. Although I use psychotherapy and psychopharmacology, my treatment philosophy centers on treating the whole person utilizing complementary and integrative health techniques.

I work with clients who are looking to increase their self-understanding and are interested in exploring patterns in their lives that are no longer serving them. As a woman who became a mother later in life, I understand the pull many people feel to become parents and how the process can drastically change one’s life. I work with both adults and children to provide guidance on creating healthy boundaries and relationships, as well as navigating the challenges we face in life.

Congratulations on taking this step in seeking help and support for yourself or your family. I work with children and adolescents, families, men, and women. My 20-plus years of clinical work with children and families is built on an attachment-oriented foundation and is informed by my personal experience as an adoptive parent and training in relevant play and family therapies. Regardless of a child’s emotional/behavioral presentation or attachment (RAD) history, I view parents as partners in their child’s therapeutic process and support and guide them, in parent sessions and/or in family sessions with their child.

You desire emotional well-being, healing & inner peace. That's why you're here. You continue to experience pain & discomfort yet don't quite know how to process & work through it all. Your story & life experiences should be heard & understood. Personal growth & fulfillment is attainable once you have the right tools & coping skills to stay regulated. As a minority identifying therapist & child of immigrants, my lived experiences help me connect with my clients on a deeper level. With this understanding, you can expect to better balance your intersecting identities across life domains. You are deserving of validation & empathy.

Despite our best efforts to change, obstacles can be terribly difficult to overcome in isolation; I am dedicated to creating a safe space in which we can explore the thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relational patterns that may be causing you to feel stuck. I work with young adults on the various challenges that arise when transitioning into adulthood, including creating healthy romantic/peer relationships, early career development, and challenging family dynamics. I have experience supporting individuals in exploring their gender, sexual, and romantic identity development, and welcome members of the LGBTQQIA+ community.

I am a warm and insightful psychologist who focuses on helping people make significant changes in personal and professional areas of their lives. I work with adults, couples, and families who are dealing with transitions or want to maximize their full potential. In the first session I identify the areas which are most crucial to focus on and the approach which will be most useful for reaching your goals quickly. We then jointly create a plan of action for reaching your objectives.

Grayson is a licensed clinical social worker that works as an associate therapist at the group practice of Dr. Chloe Carmichael. Grayson holds a Master of Science degree in social work from Columbia University. Grayson is a warm and engaging therapist who creates a safe environment for her clients to explore and effectively manage difficult feelings.

You are about to take your first step forward toward growth, change and improving the quality of your life. Your decision to start therapy is a commitment to yourself. By exploring both the past and the present, you will recognize life patterns and dynamics which affect your relationships, career, and overall emotional and physical well-being. I believe each person is unique and do not utilize a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Rather, we will work collaboratively to create a safe, supportive environment that encourages honesty, authenticity, connection and directness. Together we establish the direction and pace of our work.

TELEHEALTH AND OFFICE: Do you need a boost to manage your life? For those of us who suffer anxiety, depression, sadness, grief, sorrow or just want to improve overall wellness or enhance your life, I invite you to call me to discuss your current life circumstances. I have studied many healing therapies including EMDR, EFT, TFT,CBT, hypnosis, psychodynamic psychotherapy, coaching, past life regression,mindfulness, psychosynthesis, yoga, shiatsu & martial arts. I facilitate your process of living beyond loss due to death, feelings of abandonment, life transition and infertility. I use an integrated approach based on the your needs.

The decision to enter therapy is courageous and important. Removing obstacles (such as anxiety and depression) that prevent well being and overall happiness, creating and enhancing relational experiences, coping with trauma, grief and loss or reaching professional goals are worthy and healthy desires. Whatever the precipitant to ones decision, we all have a need to be respected, heard, understood, and to feel safe, cared for and truly "gotten". It is both my belief and years of experience that tells me these conditions are necessary for long lasting, transformational change to occur. Together, we will actively work on helping you achieve your therapeutic goals

"At its best, psychotherapy alleviates suffering and makes possible a richer, more meaningful life. I work with patients by drawing on a number of different perspectives. In particular, I use a psychoanalytic approach to address repetitive patterns and historical forces that prevent people from creating the life they want to live. I integrate behavioral interventions when appropriate to confront specific problems and to help people develop a sense of competency, control, and agency."

Psychotherapy is an investment in a life lived consciously and self-reflectively. With respect for the complexity of psychological problems and their uniquely subjective meaning and function for each person, the "work" of psychotherapy fosters a curiosity about ourselves, our histories, our relational patterns, our ways of thinking and behaving, and of managing stress and loss. Questions like - why do I do the things I do? Choose to be involved with this type of person? React to stress or loss this way? Why am I stuck? Sad? Empty feeling? - help us develop insight and the capacity for informed change.

When facing life's difficult challenges, it is good to know that there are places that you can turn to for help and guidance. However, finding a gay therapist can be anxiety producing because when people decide they would benefit from seeing a therapist, they are often experiencing significant upset in their lives. This is usually not the ideal moment to be dealing with the stress involved in finding someone with whom it feels safe and right to be vulnerable.

You want to feel a sense of safety and security within your relationships. Whether you are with a partner and want to improve your intimacy or you are an individual looking to create a foundation for a positive relationship, I will collaborate with you to provide you the tools and motivation to feel empowered within your life. Through compassion and understanding, you will discover the platform to reach your full potential and enrich your life. My approach is to be attentive to your story as a couple or individual and tailor our work together to meet your unique needs.

My passions and experiences lie in working with children, pre-teens, and young adults who are navigating various forms of trauma. I also work with women and couples who are navigating the different challenges that come with a partner having experienced past trauma that is impacting their day-to-day lives.

I counsel individuals and couples and run support groups, with empathy, clarity, and humor, maintaining a hybrid style that draws from mindfulness, practicality, and unconditional positive regard. I consider myself another person in the room, not a blank slate, working collaboratively with my clients toward their goals.
