Therapists in Upper East Side, New York, NY

Do you experience persistent conflict around relationships, including the one with yourself? Do you struggle with a lack of personal identity that leaves you feeling anxious, depressed, or stuck? I am here to help. I am a trained psychotherapist focusing on adults working through attachment difficulties and the effects of childhood trauma. In cultivating the tools to understand yourself, we will collaboratively explore the connection between past experiences and current patterns, in addition to developing coping skills to mitigate symptoms.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward a deeper self awareness! I work with my clients to help them understand how personal challenges like anxiety, depression, addiction or trauma may be influencing their relationships, work, or daily life. My style is interactive, engaged, and non-judgmental while integrating the psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual well being of the whole person. I also feel that it is important to incorporate laughter into the healing process! Once we can find the humor in our human-ness it becomes easier to forgive ourselves and others as we move toward more authentic happiness.

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.

Collaboration and trust characterize a strong therapeutic relationship. Therapy is very much a conversation about how you think and feel and what you hope to change. My starting questions are "why now," and "how would you like me to help"? I am trained in developmental and clinical psychology and work with adolescents, young adults, families and adults throughout the life span. Anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders and transitioning to adulthood are specialties.

Emotional suffering and pain originate from the early childhood experiences which shape our minds. The haunted ghost from our past takes residence in our minds so that we repeat unhealthy patterns and continue suffering and pain. How can we free ourselves from the ghost spell? By providing a holding environment and sharing my genuine curiosity and psychoanalytic understanding, I help my patients sever the tie to the ghost from the past and break the spell. Insights into the root of their symptoms and difficulties and a new experience in a therapeutic relationship lead to psychological change, greater freedom, and enriched lives.

Our sessions begin with a conversation. What brings you here? What would you like to be different? What would your life look like if our work together is successful? With over 35 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist we can quickly and jointly determine if we are a good fit. I work with adolescents and individual adults as well as couples experiencing relationship, intimacy and/or parenting issues. My expertise in psychodynamic, cognitive, and relational therapy provide a unique combination. Please see my website for more information: www.drcarrierosenfield.com

My experience lies in treating adolescents and adults living with eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, and trauma. Given that our relationships with others and with ourselves are often at the core of these concerns, we will examine both in our work together. I have also witnessed how gender identity, sexuality, race, and culture can impact self-image, and strive to be an inclusive therapist who can help you explore these connections.

As a psychotherapist, I provide a safe environment for reflection where discovering and exploring fixed patterns that hinder you from realizing goals can lead to awareness. We all have parts of ourselves that we do not understand and feel that we cannot change, often leaving us feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Telling your story and gaining deeper understanding of yourself can have transforming effects on your life. I work with patients facing problems in love, work, family, school, issues with self-esteem, identity, and trauma. My analytic training makes me a skilled and empathic listener, helping to identify themes that lead to insights and more choices.

Perhaps you’ve been feeling isolated, frustrated, or like something needs fixing, but you are unsure where to begin? Current crises, past traumas, fear of failure, and difficulty in relationships can make everyday life overwhelming. If you are suffering silently, therapy with a trusted professional can be a great next step. I have several years experience treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, trauma-related disorders/PTSD, and personality disorders. I work with adults, teenagers, couples, and families.

With over 35 years experience I am able to successfully treat numerous diagnoses and life problems, from bipolar disorder, alcohol and other addictive problems to marital counseling. I work with adolescents and adults to help them to remove obstacles from their lives so they can enjoy the most fulfilling life. I love to engage with patients who are interested in the benefits of psychotherapy.

I believe that no one should face difficult times alone. The emotional pain of anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues might have left you lonely and isolated at the time when human contact is needed most. Opening up to your friends or family can be hard. By being warm, empathic, and non-judgmental, I provide a safe space where you can express yourself and feel seen and understood. Our work together can help you heal, get to know yourself better, find the strength to face challenges, deepen communication with others, and ultimately lead a more aware, fulfilling life.

In my practice, I address a wide range of needs and work with clients of all ages. I offer a personalized approach to therapy tailored to each client's individual needs. Together we can create insight into the events and transitions that have contributed to current life experiences, creating real and lasting change for the future. In our work together, I provide a warm and compassionate approach to create a non-judgmental space for self-exploration. My approach ranges from unstructured therapy addressing issues that come up in the moment to CBT tailored to a specific issue.

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.

If you're reading this, I want to congratulate you on taking the first step towards improving your mental health. Knowing you are in a place where you need to ask for help can be a scary feeling, and I want to commend you for starting this journey towards bettering yourself. Life can bring many unexpected challenges. I believe with the correct tools and mindset, it is possible for a person to overcome anything that comes in their path, no matter how difficult the obstacle may seem.

I believe that we seek treatment when we feel dissatisfied in our relationships, careers, or with ourselves. We might not be aware that our emotional conflicts block us from achieving what we want. Change and flourishing of creativity can occur when the analyst creates an accepting and safe environment for expression and exploration of all dimensions of our experiences. I am an experienced analyst with over twenty years of practice working with children, adolescents, adults and couples in Manhattan and Great Neck.

My passion for therapy stems from my belief that it’s powerful and healing to have a space to be heard and supported while addressing challenges and achieving goals. I work with adults of all ages and walks of life who want to live a happier and more satisfying and productive life. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, trying to understand their career and relationship goals, learning how best to respond to daily stress, anxiety, and challenges, and striving to improve their relationships, mental health, emotions, and self-esteem. Together, we will clarify your goals and develop insight, skills, and self-compassion.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, specializing in working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families. I have post-graduate training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, in addition to cognitive and behavioral therapies.

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss who are navigating life stressors and transitions, communication and relational difficulties, and the impacts of intersecting identities of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, social class, and beyond. Together, we work to unravel patterns, process past events, and explore dynamics with the self, others, and society for healing and growth.
