Adults Therapists in Spuyten Duyvil, Bronx, NY

My goal is to guide clients through self-exploration, self-awareness and resilience building that transforms them into self-reliant individuals. I integrate psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), DBT, relational, and mindfulness-based techniques tailored to specific needs. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership explored within a safe, non-judgmental environment, working at a pace that is comfortable for the client; we can explore short or long-term counseling. Together, we can work towards resolving feelings of sadness, anxiety, and understanding maladaptive patterns, gaining insight to change problematic behaviors

The courageous decision to seek therapy can allow us to explore the past, navigate the present and create the type of future that we want for ourselves in a safe, supportive environment. I've been a psychotherapist for 14 years and have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in different settings with a wide range of diagnoses. I tailor my therapy for each individual depending on their needs.

As a therapist, it is my goal to provide a safe and welcoming environment for healing and growth. I understand that each person has unique experiences and challenges. I will collaborate with you to develop your own individualized therapy. I work with clients to better cope with anxiety, stress, depression and relationship issues, among life’s other challenges.

We all encounter stress, setbacks, and challenges in life. In my work with adults, many common symptoms are experienced: Difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, feelng jittery - the recognition that we are working too much and not taking good care of ourselves, or are unhappy with our body image - or not enjoying things we once liked to do, inclined to withdraw from relationshops or having trouble communicating; felt irritable, easily provoked to argument, used alcohol (shopping, gambling, etc.) as a means of escape, and felt sad, alone, or tired? These are all symptoms that something needs to change.

I have experience providing bilingual services (English/Spanish) to children, teens and adults managing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, life transitions, and interpersonal relationships. I understand how difficult it can be to manage multiple stressors while also exploring your identity in this ever changing world. I utilize an trauma-informed eclectic approach often tapping into CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, play therapy, somatic healing and other modalities as needed.

Feeling overwhelmed by unpredictable circumstances? Navigating through life’s challenges can be daunting, causing feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, self-doubt, and miscommunication with those around us, leading to development of maladaptive behaviors to cope.

Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York, and I love what I do. I deeply believe in a person’s capacity to grow, heal, and move forward despite how stuck they feel. I love working with clients to create meaningful life changes when circumstances seem overwhelming. My style is genuine, warm and direct. I strive to help clients feel fully seen and understood. I think of the therapist-client relationship as a team working closely together to identify unhelpful patterns, deepen understanding of emotions, and move towards goals.

Having practiced for over 15 years in a variety of mainly institutional settings to support those having difficulty dealing with a wide variety of behavioral and emotional issues, I have developed tremendous insight and skills to help people overcome or deal with even the most traumatic of experiences. Now through multi-disciplinary private practice, I can bring my extensive knowledge and insight to children, adults, families and couples in the community who struggle with anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, family discord, anger, and many other challenges and work closely with my colleagues if medication may be needed.

Is depression or anxiety getting in the way? Are you feeling lost or alone? Can't seem to catch your breath or maybe catch a break? Is it difficult to put into words the way that you feel and you can't seem to connect? I believe I can help. I specialize in the treatment of mood disorders with adolescents and adults. I use mindfulness, CBT skills and ACT approaches to help my clients manage their discomfort and work toward their goals. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in clinical work.

As a therapist, I aim to help you navigate challenges and gain a deeper understanding of yourself by examining behavioral patterns, developing coping skills, and integrating mindfulness. I offer a warm and nonjudgmental space in which we work collaboratively, building upon your strengths and helping you realize your full potential.

As a licensed bi-lingual (English/Spanish) clinical psychologist, I have experience treating individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral and mood difficulties, interpersonal relationships, cultural issues and other life stressors. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, however I also employ other modalities to help individuals develop practical skills, reach their goals and meet the demands of their daily lives.

Chronic pain and illness can have a significant impact on the lives of those living with it. They can take a toll on mental and emotional wellbeing, relationships, and the way we feel about ourselves. People often describe feeling frustrated with their body, unable to keep up with day to day tasks, or anxious for when they may feel unwell again. Interactions with the medical system and insurance companies can be exhausting and traumatic. Pain and illness can play a big part in our relationship dynamics; creating challenges with the people we care about most who want to help but don't seem to understand or know how.

I work with young adults and older adults (50 years and up). Through supportive, insight-oriented therapy, I can help you process feelings of grief, depression and a sense of being overwhelmed. I know how difficult change can be. I went back to school at age 59, became a social worker, and am now a psychotherapist. I understand the power that the past holds on us, but I also know that through listening, understanding and connection, we can change in ways we didn't think were possible.

I am experienced in helping clients recapture the person they previously were. Many clients say to me, "I just want to go back to being the person I used to be", and that's exactly what we focus on. Clients also often say to me, "I just don't know what to do or what I want", and we work together until we figure out how to alleviate their confusion. We achieve this in various ways, most often through exploration of the presenting issues, examination of past relationships and significant experiences as well as decision-making and behavioral patterns.
