Therapists in Lower East Side, New York, NY

Hello! My name is Jessica and I am a psychotherapist here to help you learn more about yourself and live a more fulfilling life via telehealth therapy. I work primarily with young adults, adults and teenagers. I specialize in anxiety and depression, as well as trauma and women's issues. I primarily work with young adults between the ages of 20-35. I have found that this age group suffers from anxiety, depression, and trauma disorders. Likewise, this age group is going through many life transitions that require insight and big decision-making.

I work with adults struggling with relationship issues, addiction, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Many of my clients are high performers who have become successful despite a difficult childhood. If you are curious how therapy can help you reduce your suffering, improve your relationships, and help you heal from past traumas, I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation. I use elements of EMDR therapy in my approach. I am kink allied and sex positive. I invite you to come as you are. I will respect, support, and encourage you during our time in therapy.

Good therapy works. However, there are often barriers between you and "good therapy." It's hard to find a therapist that is a match, hard to look at your life with honesty, and hard to work on becoming better. I'm a Counseling Psychologist providing psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. I've worked with a diverse range of clients with all sorts of presenting concerns. I've taught university classes on counseling and completed research on human behavior change. I know it's hard to find good therapy, but through all of my experiences, I've found one fact that remains consistently clear: good therapy works.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in Anxiety, Addiction, Depression, Drug Addiction & Abuse, and Post-traumatic stress disorder. I am also a Certified NYS School Social Worker and received training conducted by the Dept. of Veterans Affairs on therapy for handling disruptive behaviors, problem-solving, and depression. I currently offer telehealth therapy to Adolescents, Adults, Couples, and Seniors living in New York. I have experience in treating co-occurring disorders, Anxiety Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, LGBTQ+, Addictions, Depression, and ADHD.

I have worked for over 15 years with children, adolescents, and adults on issues ranging from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image issues, trauma, relationship, identity, and work difficulties. Additional experience in community mental health clinics, hospitals, group homes, and the Washington, D.C. Superior Courts have prepared me to help a diverse multiethnic and international population.

I am a certified psychotherapist and treat individuals with symptoms such as anxiety or depression, reflecting deeper unresolved emotional conflicts that need processing and working-through. These conflicts cause mental pain and can negatively affect all areas of the individual's life: personal and professional relationships, intimate relationships, career development, general physical health and well-being. My orientation is psychodynamic. I am an out-of-network provider and can give receipts for reimbursement.

Psychotherapy is a practice of deep listening and understanding. I help people develop insight into their troubles and look into habitual patterns that may create obstacles to their life goals. Together, we identify these patterns, explore feelings, and put effective coping skills into practice. When working with children, my approach invites the family in. Parent coaching, which involves a neurobiological understanding, and psychodynamic insight are integral. Through play therapy I help children discover ways to communicate their experience. The purpose is to establish a connection that encourages growth and the sense that children have a positive impact in their world.

In my years of practicing I have found that everyone can profit from counseling, psychotherapy, or psychoanalysis, depending on their need. I collaborate with my patients to help them better understand and remove the psychological and social barriers that inhbit them from being content and satisfied with their lives. I treat many kinds of patients in many psychological and life situations. I have found that many problems have been life-long, and unfortunately only when they becone too painful and interfere with their lives do people look for help. Sometimes these problems are most acutely felt at times of transition.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working with adolescents and adults in South Park Slope, Brooklyn. I received my PhD from the City University of New York, and completed inpatient and outpatient training at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. I am invested in helping my patients confront the challenges that bring them to my office, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and a lack of satisfaction with their daily lives.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults, adolescents and children on a variety of issues including anxiety, stress, depression and relationship problems. I specialize in therapy designed to target the root of your problem. If you are new to psychotherapy or if you have been frustrated by previous treatments that have only provided short term relief, my therapy might be the right choice for you.

I am an NYC-based psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with over 20 years of clinical experience. I trained at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR) and am still involved with the organization today. In my opinion, psychodynamic therapy is an essential part of psychological work and can be beneficial for people from all walks of life. I have found that psychodynamic psychotherapy is an effective treatment option for those struggling with overwhelming emotions. One of the benefits of this approach is that it helps to create a safe and trusting relationship, which is important when learning new coping skills.

I believe that each of us is endowed with a fundamental striving to grow. However, in life's journey we encounter both joy and sorrow. What is important is how we negotiate these experiences. If you are feeling undermined from negative attitudes or facing difficult challenges, help is available through a safe, in-depth psychoanalytic psychotherapy experience. We will explore the relational origins of harmful self-feelings and painful experiences to seek new pathways to enhance your sense of wellbeing. In psychotherapy, we will embark on an in-depth reflective adventure together to facilitate your growth to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

For over 25 years I have been privileged to become closely involved with patients and their challenges. I value my relationship with each patient and couple, and provide a safe, warm environment. My goal is to bring about positive change by alleviating problems and providing relief from symptoms. Extensive training and experience combined with warmth and individualized attention are the ingredients which enable me to help my patients successfully achieve their goals. Since every individual and situation is different, I match the treatment to the patient, and not the patient to the treatment.

I work with a wide range of age groups; young adults who are defining themselves, increasing autonomy, strengthening identities, often communicating through behavior; couples trying to improve communication styles or learning how to negotiate transitional periods in their relationships; older adults navigating life's challenges with resulting changes in roles. Clients of all ages may be dealing with relationship issues, poor confidence or self-esteem, loss, depression, anxiety and addictive problems, seeking to understand the sources of their discomfort rather than continue trying to avoid or outrun their problems.

The successful outcome of the work done in therapy is so very much a result of the unique relationship between patient and therapist. To that end my practice is one in which I am active, supportive and non-judgemental.Emotional injuries from the past live in the present, effecting how we relate and react to people and events throughout life. Psychotherapy has the potential to heal past wounds and impart the insights that can result in a healthier, more emotionally prosperous present. Depression, anxiety and relationship problems need not define us.
