Therapists in Central Park, New York, NY

I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey that encourages growth and healing. I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, impacts of trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and family conflict. I also work with clients on identity exploration and those seeking a better understanding of themselves and their story. Whether you are looking to explore the difficulties you are going through and develop new coping tools, want to learn more about yourself, or want to break out of unhealthy habits and develop more agency/accountability in your life, I provide a welcoming environment for you to do so.

Are you feeling frustrated and stuck? Do you sense that you can do better? Are familiar coping responses no longer serving you as well as they used to? With over 15+ years of experience, I provide virtual counseling for adults that is secure and completely confidential. My specialty is in developmental trauma, which can leave an indelible impact on our adult functioning, relationships and bodies. I am particularly interested in studying and treating trauma's impact on men’s sexual development, such as unwanted sexual urges, sexual-identity confusion, addictions and fetishes. These issues require a value-neutral and nuanced approach.

I help adults struggling with self-love. Using strategic interventions, our work together will help you develop practical skills, health and wellness routines and address your mental and emotional needs on a fundamental level. Through our work, you will become intentional about your life, set specific goals, and feel empowered. I also help couples who have challenges in areas of communication, lack of trust, and a loss of respect. I offer a unique premarital assessment which reduces divorce by 30%. I also offer Christian and Spiritual Faith Based therapy for those interested.

Dealing with various types of trauma and the ways in which it can impact our daily lives can be challenging. I am here to help you understand that your trauma does not define you, your trauma reactions are valid and I’d like to support you in the development of healthy coping skills. This will allow you the freedom to transcend beyond traumatic experiences, forging a new path toward growth, healing, recovery and wellness. I can help you navigate and cope with addiction/substance use, PTSD, depression, anxiety, life transitions, identity related issues, and family/interpersonal relationships.

I believe all people deserve and deeply yearn to be seen, heard, and valued for who they authentically are, and it can be quite a journey to get there. I provide therapy services to adults and adolescents of all gender identities and sexual orientations facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, life transitions, sexuality, self-harm, and trauma. I am dedicated to helping my clients build more robust, fulfilling relationships, heal from traumatic experiences, and connect to what brings them pleasure and calm. Let's co-create the space you need to explore and heal.

I provide a safe space for you to explore patterns and narratives that are holding you back from living a life in which you feel valued, worthy, and aligned with your authentic self. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or trauma, having trouble connecting or communicating in relationships, or struggling to manage stress or change, therapy can help you better understand yourself and meet your own needs. I work with children, teens and adults and believe in the importance of treating the holistic self to improve wellness.

Are you an adult navigating the challenges of school, career, and relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain about your future? I am a biracial and multicultural psychotherapist who specializes in working with adults, couples, and college and graduate students. I understand the unique challenges that you may be facing, and I am here to help you navigate this uncertain time. I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Together, we will develop strategies to help you reclaim your life and flourish.

Parenting is hard, parenting if you or your child (or both) are neurodivergent is another layer of hard. Find another piece of the puzzle with support for yourself and your family. I hope that this journey will allow you to feel like you have a parenting partner. You and your family are unique and may not fit the preconceived expectations that society and the traditional education and work environments have for us.

If you’ve come here, you’re likely searching for a space for your thoughts and feelings beyond what your friends, family, or partner can provide. You are looking for not only a listener and confidant, but also someone who can reflect back and help you clarify what is on your mind. In a warm, validating, and confidential space, you will gain insight into your patterns- both those that serve you well and those you wish you could change- and test out different ways of understanding and relating. Our practice includes therapists specializing in CBT, psychodynamic, internal family systems (IFS) and contemplative methods.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who believes in the power of understanding ones own story. I do not believe that you are “broken,” or that you need “fixing.” I use a combination of mindfulness, strength-based, and compassion-focused approaches to empower my clients to re-claim parts of their story and achieve self-acceptance. I strive to help clients interpret past experiences and to unburden emotional pain, which can improve your relationships, help you achieve your goals, and improve your overall quality of life.

Hello! The decision to begin therapy is a courageous and self-nourishing one. It's challenging to take that step back and take inventory of your life and your role in it. Therapy is a place where you can truly do exactly that in a non-judgmental, empathy driven space. We will reflect on what may need to change, and process through those feelings as a team. Together, we will work on understanding emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and how they work together, effective ways to label and express your feelings, and learn coping strategies to use in your everyday life.

I believe our bodies serve as a living repository, holding both our true selves and the pain, suffering, and fears that have hardened us for survival. If you have noticed the impact and you are seeking support to heal, to reconnect with your innate wholeness, and to transform harmful patterns, I am here to assist you.

I am a compassionate and solution-oriented therapist with a reputation for a caring and straightforward approach. My work is client centered and goal oriented. I believe we all get stuck or overwhelmed at times in life, and that therapy in a safe and caring environment can be the first step into a more satisfying life, with rewarding relationships at the center. As a person and a provider, there is nothing more rewarding than walking that path with my clients.

Dealing with overwhelming emotions and stress can often be an isolating experience, but it does not have to be. My goal as a clinician is to create a safe setting for healing through compassion, understanding, and trust. Our work together will focus on gaining a stronger understanding of yourself while obtaining skills and techniques to forge meaning through difficult moments in life. I believe that high quality therapy comes from a customized approach by taking evidence-based methodologies and tailoring them to an individual’s personality and needs.

The important thing about one's symptoms is that therein lies the cure. Each symptom offers a learning in need of discovery and fulfillment and it's through our therapeutic partnership that we uncover this

Self-compassion is a great buzzword, but it's easier said than done. Sometimes you have to avoid or fight feelings and parts of yourself. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, worn out or conflicted. Maybe you are not satisfied with your core relationships. This could be because parts of you are stuck in past experiences and those parts are using the tools they have (like avoidance, self-criticism, anxiety...) to protect you from more pain, even though these tools don't always serve you now. Together, we can welcome and get to know each part of you slowly and safely, and introduce new tools for coping and making change.
