Adults Therapists in 10075

Every person who chooses therapy does so for a unique combination of reasons, as my patients have revealed to me in twenty years of private practice. No one fits into simple categories, teens especially. Some are impacted by events long ago, others by recent setbacks, while most are triggered by a combination of influences known and unknown. Working with children and adolescents, I understand these manifold pressures are sometimes accompanied by resistance to change, thereby limiting the otherwise positive support offered by family and friends. That’s when I can help.

As a clinical psychologist, I help people identify and achieve their goals, attain relief from troubling symptoms, and effectively manage life's stressors. I approach treatment from a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) lens, viewing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as entry points to making tangible improvements to your day-to-day life. I emphasize nonjudgment, respect, and accountability, aiming to create a space where you feel safe and empowered to do the work required to reach your goals. Equally important, I focus on helping you to develop systems to maintain those gains long after our work together is complete.

As a psychotherapist, I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and my goal is to help normalize the therapy experience while providing a compassionate and supportive environment. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults with depression and anxiety as well as life-stage changes and adjustments. I have training and experience in New York City and practice from a holistic perspective working to match interventions with your specific therapeutic need. I have much experience working with people with chronic illness and disability.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, and relationship difficulties in adolescents, and adults. Therapy can feel daunting to some and my goal is to create a safe, comforting and inviting therapeutic space for each of my clients. I see my role as a facilitator to uncover the root of problems with the goal of living a more fulfilling life. I provide my clients the space to better understand themselves, gain new perspectives and greater insights resulting in better choices and improved quality of life.

I specialize in helping young adults and adults thrive and be happier by positively addressing challenges and stresses that result from everyday obstacles, complex social and romantic relationships, school/work life imbalances and major life transitions (e.g. starting a new job, moving to a new place, moving on from a break up, etc). My clients often struggle with the effects of anxiety, stress, depressed mood or low self esteem. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment that enables my clients to express and process their emotions/concerns while learning healthy coping mechanisms.

Over the past 25 years, I have partnered as therapist, teacher, graduate professor, and learner with adults, children and their families, and couples. Most are within a transition, filled with angst, anticipation, conflicting emotions and thoughts. Many are navigating a loss relating to illness, relationship, academics, and often the ambiguous loss of expectations. There is suffering, sadness, anxiety, and often lack of trust in one's self and abilities. You have the resources, yet you may need a tool to assist accessing and building upon your strengths with a renewed sense of hope and confidence in varied future possibilities.

Going through profiles, you may not be sure what you are looking for in a therapist. I offer clients a free consultation call to determine what they need from both therapy and their therapist in order to move forward in life. If I’m not a good fit, I’ll provide you with referrals accordingly.

The courage to face one’s anxiety, sadness or pain is a huge step towards healing. I consider it a privilege and an honor to have people share their life struggles with me. Psychodynamic therapy helps people understand themselves better and, ultimately, the answers that they seek about their lives and what will make them more fulfilled will be revealed.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over fifteen years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. As a clinician with many years of experience working in schools, I also collaborate with teachers and other professionals when appropriate. I rock my glasses of the day and truly embody a therapist with my daily cardigans.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with over fifteen years of experience treating adolescents and adults. I have particular experience working with creative individuals and specialized training in the treatment of trauma and addictive behaviors. I have worked with many intelligent and creative people from all walks of life. Together we seek to better understand the nature of their difficulties, find relief from harmful repetitive patterns, and ultimately create a more fulfilling life.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and culturally sensitive. I try to harness each person’s unique inner strengths to guide clients toward resilience, balance, and a sense of fulfillment. I work with adults who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, transitions, as well as body and self-esteem issues. I integrate a combination of therapeutic modalities depending on the client’s unique needs. I offer guidance, support, and a safe space for exploration while recognizing that clients ultimately drive their healing process. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy sessions, both in English and in Hebrew.

Welcome to my practice. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and help adults struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, stress and life transitions, as well as those who are simply interested in self-exploration. No matter what brings you to pursue support at this time, I prioritize establishing a trusting, safe and respectful space in session and strive to help you get out of therapy whatever it is you are seeking from the experience.

I believe my approach to therapy has always been to provide a space where people can feel heard, understood and challenged to look at themselves and the choices they have made. This applies to the youth of today as well as those more experienced in life. I offer a genuine and direct approach to changing lives, while going at the right pace for each individual. People need to feel safe in a non judgmental space and appreciate honest feedback and direction while they transition on their therapeutic journey. I am eclectic in my approach to treatment and use a multitude of therapeutic techniques which are individualized to each client.

Engaging in therapy takes courage and strength. I approach therapy with warmth and compassion to create a safe space for reflection and healing. I work with teens and adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, and general life stressors.

My experience lies in treating adolescents and adults living with eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, and trauma. Given that our relationships with others and with ourselves are often at the core of these concerns, we will examine both in our work together. I have also witnessed how gender identity, sexuality, race, and culture can impact self-image, and strive to be an inclusive therapist who can help you explore these connections.

Feeling like others don’t get you, or that you can’t be successful or happy is stressful and can interfere with your quality of life. I can help you to work on your relationships and other important life goals while still being true to yourself. I specialize in providing affirming therapy for neurodiverse adults and people with chronic illness and/or disabilities, including autism, OCD, ADHD, chronic pain, general anxiety, social anxiety, persistent depression, bipolar disorders, trauma, and psychosis. Together, we can help you to adjust to a diagnosis, heal from being misunderstood, reframe your strengths, and plan for your future.

I believe that no one should face difficult times alone. The emotional pain of anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues might have left you lonely and isolated at the time when human contact is needed most. Opening up to your friends or family can be hard. By being warm, empathic, and non-judgmental, I provide a safe space where you can express yourself and feel seen and understood. Our work together can help you heal, get to know yourself better, find the strength to face challenges, deepen communication with others, and ultimately lead a more aware, fulfilling life.

As a licensed clinical social worker in private practice in New York City, I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, parent-child dyads and families. I work from a collaborative and integrative approach, tailoring each treatment to the unique strengths and needs of the individual/family in order to alleviate symptoms and create meaningful and lasting change.

Effective psychotherapy alleviates suffering, builds stronger personal and professional relationships and helps you achieve your goals and expand your capacity to live a fulfilling life. Through our work you will gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of yourself and how you engage with others. Together we will explore what has led to the establishment of your relational patterns. Therapy works through collaboration; we work together to understand your experiences, memories and relationships in order to create change. I believe people are stronger, happier and more successful when they are connected to those around them.
