Therapists in Upper West Side, New York, NY

As a caring psychotherapist in practice for 30+ years, I specialize in working with adults who are unhappy with themselves and their relationships, who experience the discomforts of anxiety, low self-esteem and depression and who feel stuck and are unsure what to do next. I am committed to the growth of my clients.

Taking the step to better understand yourself and your relationships, as well as your most difficult emotions and memories, is a brave and worthwhile endeavor. You deserve to be met with compassion and curiosity. In my work as a psychotherapist, I strive to cultivate an empathic, client-centered environment to treat adults dealing with the struggles of living in the modern world. My years of experience in providing psychodynamic psychotherapy informs my focus in helping you find relief and lasting change.

In my practice, I aim to create a comfortable space within which to explore emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral difficulties. I work with children, adolescents and adults in individual, couple, and family psychotherapy. Through a collaborative process, I help patients discover connections between problematic patterns of thinking and relating, and the ongoing challenges they face. These connections – between thoughts and feelings, past and present, internal experience and external situations – can help a person think in new ways, generating possibilities for growth and change.

Sometimes life can feel incredibly overwhelming and you just don’t know where to turn. Recognizing the need to ask for help is one incredible strength you already possess!

Hi, I'm Kate! I'm an LCSW based in NYC and the lower Hudson Valley. Right now, I provide several telehealth-only services: counseling, life coaching, dating/sex coaching, and general psychotherapy. I have an MA in Human Sexuality from NYU, and a masters in Social Work from Fordham University, and ten years' clinical experience. I work with young adults, and adults, helping them with a variety of issues. However, my areas of focus include: sexuality, relationships, trans/nonbinary/gender identity issues; kink/poly/alt-lifestyle concerns. Coaching for artists & writers; career coaching, and weight management, bariatric surgery issues.

'If not now, when?" I work with couples, adults, and adolescents on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and creative blocks. I work together with you to understand the history of patterns of thinking and behavior that are no longer working for you and to gain insight into why they have developed and how to change them. We will work on how to create a more gratifying and better functioning present and future. I also draw on my many years of experience as an artist -working in film, theater, and dance and I approach the therapeutic experience as a creative collaboration.

Life is messy. It’s easy to feel scared, anxious, overwhelmed, out of balance and alone. I am passion about listening, providing support & helping, in a comfortable and secure environment. Therapy should be safe and judgement free. Whether making a decision, small change, or large life decision, I know it’s not easy.

People tend to find me thoughtful, warm, and down to earth. My professional reputation among colleagues is as someone who can handle any situation with a calm, reassuring presence. My style is relatively informal, and humor, play, and irreverence are integral to who I am and the way I practice. Younger clients often experience me as a "cool older brother" type, fun and funny, while adults tend to appreciate my creativity in cutting through stuckness to try something new and different and truly transformative. I've worked most extensively with kids, teens, and young adults, in both individual and family therapy.

Soul loss is what we go through when our early wounds and traumas restrict our energy and impede our ability to live freely and joyfully. I can help you retrieve your lost energy and rewire old patterns, so you can more fully embody who you were meant to be. Pain is often an invitation to learn more about our feelings so we can evolve and expand. I use a mind-body approach (somatic experiencing/ gestalt) with a relational lens (psychodynamic/ attachment/ Jungian) and energy healing. If you feel stuck after years of talk therapy, I can help. I see children, adolescents, adults, couples & families online only at the moment.

Asking for help is a sign of strength, and you do not need to undertake the healing journey alone. You deserve to live a fulfilling life and I am here to help you build it. I approach psychotherapy with the belief that increased insight, effective coping skills, and a strong therapeutic relationship are cornerstones to facilitating positive behavioral change. I have experience working with teenagers and adults with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, phobias, and bipolar disorder. I help manage maladaptive thinking, challenging feelings, and behavioral patterns that interfere with your quality of life.

My primary modalities are EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I've worked with trauma and injustice for many years, and I recognize the courage it takes to trust another person with the most vulnerable parts of yourself. In my office, I strive to provide a therapeutic space where all parts feel welcome, where you can experience something radically different and practice new and courageous ways of relating to yourself and to others. I've successfully helped teenagers, adults and couples experience healing from trauma and unresolved events, peace from anxiety and acceptance in times of grief.

We are all capable of achieving positive change. My goal as a therapist is to create space for reflection, connection, and expression in order to pursue sustained well-being. I work collaboratively to help individuals & couples tell their stories and develop agency in shifting unhelpful narratives. I offer therapy to adults around topics including sex, intimacy, relationships, gender & sexuality issues, identity, anxiety, depression and more. I have experience working with diverse communities as a as both a clinician and community organizer. My therapeutic practice is grounded in the contexts of social justice and equity.

I work with adults of all ages dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship stresses, feeling "stuck," identity issues, sexuality, major life-transitions, negative patterns, and grief/loss. I also draw on my corporate/legal background to help with job/career stresses and goals -- executives and professionals find my prior experience as an attorney to be quite helpful. I bring a spirit of creativity to our work, and encourage curiosity and humor whenever possible.

I am a compassionate and engaging therapist with 30+ years of experience integrating psychodynamic and body-based modalities. The therapeutic relationship and the sacred, generative space that is shared, physically or virtually, can facilitate profound growth and transformation. My practice is comprised of adolescents, young adults, and adults in Individual, Family, and Group Therapy. I often work with trauma and abuse, attachment and relational issues, anxiety disorders, depression, pain and chronic illness, learning disabilities, and various somatic issues and health concerns.

Transitions are triggers, and when you are in the midst of a major life transition, it is easy to lose yourself when so much is going on around you. How do you cope when others are asking for so much from you? How can you make space for your own needs when you might not even be sure what they are? Even small tasks can feel burdensome if you are struggling to find a sense of inner peace.

I know it can be difficult to make the informed decision to start therapy. The idea of unpacking our thoughts, feelings, behaviors and emotions can feel overwhelming and intimidating. Your bravery toward facing your personal hardships and improving your overall quality of life is the first of many victories that you will experience in our time together. Whether you are suffering with anxiety and depression, undergoing life transitions, struggling with self-esteem, facing relationship issue or looking to understand your past to make sense of your present.
