Therapists in Washington Heights, New York, NY

Fluent in both English and Spanish. In our sessions, you'll find a warm, empathic environment coupled with a readiness to challenge and guide you towards self-discovery and growth. Unlike the stereotypical silent therapist, I engage actively with my clients, adapting intuitively to your unique needs.

Do any of the following statements feel like you? 1: I can't seem to fulfill my short or long term goals. 2: I'm often anxious, even panicky. 3: I'm often depressed. 4: I often feel unappreciated. 5: I'm uncomfortable around people. 6: I pull away when feeling close to someone. 7: My wife/lover & i are not doing well. 8: I have family, friends, a good job, & feel empty and alone. 9: I have difficulty expressing my feelings, & thoughts, to others. 10: I tend to put everyone's feelings before mine, then feel resentful & angry. You are the expert on you let me be your guide on your journey to self-fulfillment and self-realization.

Discovering who you are and what truly matters is a personal journey we often navigate alone. Yet, embarking on this exploration together with a dedicated therapist can illuminate new perspectives and foster growth. I approach this process with an appreciation for the ways in which you’ve navigated life so far and understanding that not everything needs to be abandoned, after all, you’re here! Instead, we look at how we can evolve to set you up for the best version of yourself and your life right now. Between the two of us, I believe we can accomplish the change you want!

My clients are as diverse as the city we live in; from adolescents to older adults, my focus is on treating complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. Clients come to me with the intention to heal, and liberate themselves from the cycles that have kept them in a place of insecurity.

I am a licensed clinical social worker working with adults (18 years+) managing life transitions, relationship challenges (family, friends, partners, coworkers), general and acute anxiety, depression, struggles with self-esteem and body image, and coping with the stressors of college (both undergraduate and graduate levels, both academic and non-academic related). I have experience working in the health care field, including discussing grief/loss, living with a chronic illness, being a caregiver, receiving a life changing diagnosis, and being familiar with what it's like to work in a health care setting.

I believe that we never lose our creative spark, and that with the right tools, it can be accessed and implemented as a healing force. With creative expression, we can imagine real life scenarios through multiple lenses, and look into the past and the future through different perspectives. No matter your age, art-making can be used to make sense of our emotional landscape, foster self-compassion and organize our thoughts, which can get jumbled in the hustle and bustle of life. I utilize an integrative approach that marries both Art Therapy and traditional psychotherapy. No experience using art materials is needed!

There are circumstances in life that may trigger such negative feelings that we can barely stay afloat and function. During such times, we may feel stuck, realizing that all the resources that worked for us in the past do not work anymore. At other times, we may feel okay yet not fully satisfied with our present lives; we may want more but do not know what. I’m here to help you make that journey from surviving to thriving. I combine psychotherapy, coaching, and education. With my husband Michael we also offer Couple to Couple Coaching, drawing from our own professional training and life experiences to help other couples.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, practicing in New York City for over 40 years. I offer individual psychotherapy to adults and adolescents, as well as couples and family therapy. We may address a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, loss, life crises, problems in intimate relationships and troubling patterns of behavior. Inevitably the work expands to include an exploration of beliefs and self-protective ways of being that are no longer needed and get in the way of a whole-hearted appreciation of one's unique strengths, one's entitlement to make active choices and to pursue one's most authentic goals.

I am a clinical social worker with over thirty years experience working with individuals, couples and families. I have a Master's and Ph.D. from Columbia University and I serve in both teaching and supervisory positions at The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. My expertise working with couples provided the basis for a course I recently taught to therapists on How To Do Couple Therapy.ver

Are you an adolescent having self esteem issues? A parent in need of support? An adult with a mood disorder, or simply trying to manage life transitions?

One of the most meaningful aspects of therapy is how it provides a person with the opportunity to discover their inner self. The gift of therapy is that it reduces loneliness, emotional pain, and secures you to your authentic self. As a therapist who has worked with individuals, couples, and families of diverse backgrounds, I have seen the impactful growth clients have achieved. I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families who are struggling with relationships and other interpersonal challenges. I use a client based strength model of therapy which emphasizes the value of the client's unique strengths and capabilities.

With over 15 years’ experience as a bilingual Psychotherapist working with very diverse populations from adults to adolescents who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD I learned that not everyone feels comfortable going to speak to a therapist in a traditional setting like an office. This is why I offer “Walk Talk Therapy” and mobile therapy. I want to eliminate as many barriers as possible for you to get the help you need. Just as we are all encouraged to exercise for our physical health, I believe everyone should connect with a professional therapist to strengthen one’s emotional health.
