Therapists in East Harlem, New York, NY

Identifying and deciding to work through your personal needs is a bold and courageous step. Although it can be overwhelming to share your story with a therapist who is not known to you, it can also be liberating to speak to a neutral party. I use a warm and non-judgemental approach and value your wellbeing and boundaries. By taking a gradual and exploratory approach, you and I will develop a strong, safe and meaningful relationship in order to reach your particular goals.

I am a dedicated professional driven by a mission to educate, empower, and transform the lives of individuals, placing a special emphasis on men, women, and children of color. I firmly believe that honesty, integrity, and self-acceptance are fundamental principles that foster personal growth and enhance overall well-being. By embracing these values, I strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where individuals can flourish and reach their fullest potential. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and age groups, ranging from children to adults.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

Are you depressed? Anxious? Sad? Do you feel that life is not as satisfying as it should be? You are not alone! Or if you are, you don't have to be. There is help to be had. Both immediate symptom relief and lasting change can be achieved through psychotherapy. I can help you find your place in the world: in work, in relationships, and in love. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you achieve your goals. Visit billobrientherapy.com for more information.

Do you feel blocked, stuck, unfulfilled by your relationships or work? I can help by providing a safe space to explore the issues that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential. I have 20 years+ in practice and my approach is interactive and supportive. We begin by establishing a basis of trust and honesty, the foundation for dealing with the present as well as uncovering obstacles and patterns that have their roots in the past. Through this process new perspectives are gained as we work together to make the changes that lead to satisfying and meaningful choices.

My practice primarily focuses on individuals seeking treatment for issues of self-esteem, relationships or work problems. These problems can create feelings of despair, loneliness, and hopelessness. Normally, we all begin experiencing these feelings as children and as adults we may develop behavioral patterns which contribute to the perpetuation of low self-esteem. In therapy, we explore the reasons for self-defeating behavior. As we become more aware of what we do and why we do it, we can begin making the necessary changes for a successful future.

Creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship is the first step toward understanding what's standing in the way of greater life satisfaction and emotional well-being. I am interactive and direct in challenging old patterns of viewing oneself, others, and the world so as to make room for more hopeful possibilities. I believe in exploring the impact of the past on the present, yet because insight alone is often not sufficient for bringing about change, I help clients develop the concrete tools necessary to play more productive roles in their own lives.

My patients come to treatment to open up repressed parts of themselves. Sometimes, my patients are struggling to integrate family backgrounds, religious,or cultural with their lives today. They have often succeeded in their professional lives but feel stuck in their romantic or interpersonal lives.My patients usually bring a curiosity about how their history effects their present lives.They are interested in engaging in a treatment which examines this closely in order to understand why they are feeling blocked and to open up a greater sense of inner freedom in order to live more meaningful and fuller lives.

My client base is mostly high-functioning adults, used to working hard for optimum results. My clients are intelligent, determined people who strive to take responsibility for their lives and achieve happiness. I have three decades of experience working clinically with * Eating disorders, weight regulation, obesity, diabetes management, and body image problems * Navigating relational trauma * Management of stress,burn out, anxiety, * Struggles with self-sabotage * Feeling stuck * Career pressure, family demands * Interpersonal relationships * Finding a life partner * Separating from toxic relationships * Women's health issues * Living with cardiovascular disease and cancer * Loss: divorce, empty nest, health, death

My personal and professional understanding is that most people struggle with their decision to pursue psychotherapy. I understand the courage associated with your decision to see me today. Therefore, I would like to tell you about my training and my approach to psychotherapy. I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist and adjunct faculty at New York University. I hold a master's degree in clinical social work from Smith College School for School for Social Work.

I am a modern psychoanalytically trained psychotherapist, who works with both adults and couples, to maximize their ability to meet personal life goals and challenges and to grow emotionally. Life can be tough, but that doesn't mean you should give up on having what you want! Psychotherapy is about working on your life goals to have more of the life you want and deserve to have.

Many of us find ourselves confronted with challenges, sadness and/or destructive patterns that require increased self-awareness to overcome. I use a varied approach to address the individual needs of my patients in a compassionate, nonjudgemental, and empathic environment. I have helped people struggling with issues spanning anxiety, depression, eating disorders, transitions, loss, and trauma, among others. We will work together to explore the root of your struggles through guided questions and by challenging prior assumptions.

Suffering is an integral part of life, the same way manure is an integral part of the farmer's life. As a wise farmer learns to use manure as a fertilizer, I can assist you in understanding and using your suffering wisely, and learning to profit from it. I am silent when need be, yet I am also very willing to respond to your questions and to dialogue with you in a very direct way when necessary.

Accepting new clients! I enjoy helping you focus on healing...transforming from a life of pain to a life healing process. Each day that you are in therapy, you are working on having less pain and more healing.

I specialize in treating adults with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD).

I am a Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist working in the Mental Health field.

Thanks for reaching out. My name is Loren Dobbs. I am a very competent and effective therapist practicing in Manhattan. My clients include adults in all walks of life and at different stages of development. I provide supportive therapy using Cognitive Behavioral techniques. I offer individual treatment and couples therapy. My view of mental health is humanistic and mindfulness based. We can improve at any stage in life. When we develop positively, we experience less distress, make better decisions, and achieve greater satisfaction. We also become better equipped to tackle new problems that come our way.

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.

Empathy and humor are key in the therapeutic process and I use both. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years experience providing psychotherapy to adults and couples. During our sessions you will feel respected and heard with a focus on providing emotional relief.
