Therapists in Upper West Side, New York, NY

I have over eight years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, parents, families, and adults. I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings supporting clients in building coping strategies and managing anxiety and depression, interpersonal difficulties, life transitions, and day-to-day challenges.

My aim as a therapist is to get to know you and your unique personality and to facilitate a space where you can authentically show up to discuss your feelings and desires. Circumstances in life can be distressing and isolating, but you do not have to navigate that alone. I believe exploring these feelings and experiences in depth can provide a clearer understanding of oneself and the ability to navigate such stressors. I currently see children, adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relational issues, and loneliness.

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.

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.

In my experience, some people come to therapy for specific symptoms, but many people come to treatment because of a pervasive feeling that something is not right or not working. They may feel they are not living the life they want, or can’t enjoy the life they have, or that they have lost touch with a part of themselves. They may have unfinished business from their childhood, or feel stuck continually repeating the same patterns in their relationships.

When you reach out and begin therapy, you have begun an important journey of inner awareness and self-understanding. Each person's life's journey and experience is different. The process can be scary at first, frustrating even, but always rewarding. It takes courage to step out of your comfort zone to seek help or answers to personal questions, doubts or discomforts. if you are questioning your sexual orientation, gender identity or the process of coming out, it can be difficult. Your personal truth can be hindered by cultural, religious and familial bonds.

Navigating life’s circumstances can be complicated and challenging. Although we must find the strength to get past the roadblocks in our lives, we don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can help us get to know ourselves so that we can find new ways to respond when the pressure of modern living becomes too much. My aim as a therapist is to partner with you on a journey of self-discovery so that you can find satisfaction and thrive. I believe therapy can help us uncover subtle beliefs and patterns that shape our daily experiences. With greater awareness, we gain the tools to enact positive change and remodel relationships.

I work with artists, couples, people with chronic illness, and young adults with separation and intimacy issues, seeking to find who they are. We consider how "old issues" sometimes interfere in our moving forward. I help individuals pick good partners and feel safe letting someone get close to them. I also help them to set appropriate boundaries with their parents and others. I reduce my fees to what is affordable for the client. I enjoy working with couples and understand cultural differences, having a Ph.D. In Russian, and lived in Russia and France, and worked with Asians, Latinos, Russians, Mormons, and Orthodox Jews.

My social work education and continuing teaching in the field commit me to an eclectic approach to psychotherapy. What does that mean to you? While I lean toward the object relations and intersubjectivist schools, it means I'm listening to you and thinking about you not simply through these (or other) theoretical lenses, but as the person you are and the situation you're in. It means that I view the relationship we form together as the basis for the changes you want to make in your life.
