Adults Therapists in New York County, NY

With over 20 years proven experience, I have collaborated with a variety of clients -adults, children, families and the elderly - in improving their personal and professional relationships. By acknowledging our positionality and employing a relational, empathic approach in my practice, clients are able to successfully negotiate relationship issues, and overcome related struggles with depression and trauma. Empowerment is a major focus of our work.

Everything has been so difficult lately. You can’t concentrate at work, you’re irritable at home, and your relationships are all struggling. You always try so hard to be perfect, but that just paralyzes you from doing much of anything. You’re curious if these issues stem from unresolved issues in your past. You’ve been curious about therapy for a while now but resist taking action. Discussing your feelings with a stranger is embarrassing, and you keep thinking of all the reasons it won’t work. But you’re running out of options. You’re at the end of your rope and know something needs to change, but you simply don’t know how.

Nirja understands the therapeutic work to be collaborative & believes in intently listening to the individual’s perspectives, and works from a warm, empathetic and relational approach in the sessions. She integrates therapeutic elements of Relational-Psychodynamic theory and incorporates DBT and Mindfulness interventions, tailoring the therapeutic sessions to the individual’s needs.

Hello, I am LaToya J. Johnson, an NYS Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of counseling experience. I have provided care to individuals with chronic mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, PTSD, racial identity issues, relationship concerns, intellectual disabilities, and substance abuse. The most common theoretical approaches I use in my work are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, and Person Center Therapy. I believe every person has a right to live a happy and fulfilled life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has a passion for working with people through all of life’s obstacles and challenges. From depression, life transitions, relationships, anxiety or just needing someone to talk to, I will be there to provide a safe, empathetic, and engaging space. I focus on making clients feel listened to, identifying their strengths, and working towards their goals. I have experience working with adults 18-65+ years of age.

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.

Being aware of our internal experiences is one of the key foundations of self-healing. By fostering a deeper understanding of who we are, where we’ve been and what we’ve experienced, we are able to form the foundation from which healing can begin. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I offer a partnership for individuals as they journey toward overcoming past traumas, insecurities, and other behavior patterns that impede their ability to live fulfilled lives.

I practice Holistic Psychology and am passionate about making evidence-based therapeutic practices accessible. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and strengths-based. My approach is grounded in scientifically-backed methods with specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). I see clients of all ages ranging from young childhood through adulthood, including families and couples.

Have you wondered if your child or adolescent would benefit from therapy? I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. I can help your child explore their feelings, make sense of their experience, and develop their full potential. I can help your child become their own therapist by learning techniques and coping strategies to learn how to deal with their challenges in their lives. I work well with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, social issues, learning issues, attention deficit disorder, and body image issues. Clients often see improved well-being early on in therapy.

Reaching out is an important first step in your journey to empowerment, security, and breaking old habits that may no longer be serving you. For so many people, feeling stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed has become the norm. It is common to struggle with life from time to time, but struggling with constant negative thoughts, negative beliefs about yourself, anxiety, and depression does not have to be your norm. One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is helping women, men, and young adults feel empowered and secure in themselves, their decision-making skills, and their ability to create and shape the life they want to live.

I'm Megan Richardson, LMHC. My approach to therapy is solution focused and evidence based. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them rediscover their strength and resiliency. Areas of focus include helping adults navigate life transitions, relationship conflict, stress management, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. I work with adults but have and will see older teenagers. I support individuals, couples, and families experiencing a transition (which include attending college), emotion dysregulation, difficulty coping with stress, anxiety and/or depression.

I welcome everyone from all walks of life. My goal is to gain an in-depth knowledge of your specific needs using our talk space to deepen self-awareness, using psycho-education, and empathically nurture growth by providing the tools needed to achieve goals. The initial session will focus on completing a comprehensive assessment. I have worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults. I will guide, support, mentor, and collaborate with you on establishing goals to best meet your needs.

In addition to addressing different mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic mental health needs and interpersonal challenges, I hold zeal in supporting those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I also find passion in a foundation of empathetic, strength-oriented and ratifying approaches to non-traditional relationships, sex and sexuality. It can be exceptionally challenging or isolating to find affirmation while navigating these complex needs!

I believe the therapeutic relationship is an integral component of change and I have extensive experience in treating a wide variety of symptoms including depression, anxiety, executive functioning.

As a social work intern, I practice to find the most effective solution to the problems you come in with. I collaborate with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns and relationship problems. I strive to be supportive, easy to talk to, and results-oriented.

Right now, you may feel confused or scared or a mix of emotions that you can’t understand. That’s okay, you’re only human, and we all need some help sometimes to deal with the challenges that life throws at us. The hardest part of healing is often making that first admission that you need help, and then accepting it when it is offered. I'm here to tell you that you are not alone... Hi, I'm Linda, and I'm here to help you. As a clinical social worker, I have spent 30 years treating clients with challenges such as mental illness, addictions, personality disorders and rebuilding relationships.

It can be difficult processing who we are, what we have experienced, and how we should move forward in the face of adversity. While working collaboratively, I welcome individuals to share their story unapologetically and unpack these life experiences. I work to build a caring collaboration that aims to empower and uplift while fostering safety and trust. I offer an affirming, safe space for people who identify as a POC and/or LGBTQIA+ to explore their identities holistically and deconstruct their own narrative within a larger system. Together, we can create a plan with your specific needs and goals in mind.
