Therapists in Hamilton Heights, New York, NY

I believe we all have a core self and a purpose. Many individuals, however, are blocked by depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as low self-esteem, substance abuse, and eating disorders. I am an LCSW with a certificate from the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center. I have extensive experience working with adults from various cultural and socio-economic backgrounds and have treated individuals diagnosed with everything from bipolar to borderline personality disorder.

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.

My style of therapy is warm and engaging with a strong focus on checking in about what’s working in your therapy and what’s not, and tailoring it accordingly. I very much value your voice as the one that matters the most in the room. I like to invite conflict and difficult emotions in, when we’re ready, and resolve them in a way that feels safer and works a little better for your life. Some weeks that means sitting with a difficult emotion, other weeks that means finding concrete strategies to tackle the struggles in your life, and everything in between. I know growth is hard. My job is to help that journey not feel so big or hard.

Beginning therapy can be scary, intimidating, and stressful, but can also make a big difference in your life. There are times we feel stuck, lost, confused, angry, or hurt.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

I am open to treating and working with anyone who recognizes they need help. Therapy is a journey of self-exploration and as long as you are open to traveling down that road then I am open to helping you explore it.
