Adults Therapists in Yorkville, New York, NY

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.

Hi, I’m Richard! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York City. I enjoy working with teenagers, college-aged students, young adults, and families.

Have you ever felt like you're tirelessly trying to keep pace in a world that doesn't quite align with your rhythm? Do you find yourself grappling with negative self-talk, guilt and ‘should-haves’? Why do things seem effortless for others but not for you? Do you often feel that your needs aren't met? You want to feel good about life and find meaningful connections but you struggle to do so. If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone in these feelings. In a world that often misunderstands, there's a place where your experiences are fully appreciated. If you have anxiety, Autism or ADHD then this is a safe space for you.

Anyone can benefit from therapy. The first step is often the hardest and I want to congratulate you on taking yours. With over 19 years of clinical experience I help people with issues related to relationships, self image/esteem and goals, while addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. I work with adults and teens towards helping them adjust and thrive in their environments. Safety, comfort, and ongoing encouragement are essential in my work and I am able to adjust my therapeutic style based on the client’s needs. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation.

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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, and relationship difficulties in adolescents, and adults.

In more than 25 years of practice, I have helped many people answer a basic question: What is at the root of behavioral patterns that cause them unhappiness and dissatisfaction? This is the first step in dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, fear, guilt, and relationship problems. I am an experienced psychotherapist who works with adults and couples.

Over the past 25 years, I have partnered as therapist, teacher, graduate professor, and learner with adults, children and their families, and couples. Most are within a transition, filled with angst, anticipation, conflicting emotions and thoughts. Many are navigating a loss relating to illness, relationship, academics, and often the ambiguous loss of expectations. There is suffering, sadness, anxiety, and often lack of trust in one's self and abilities. You have the resources, yet you may need a tool to assist accessing and building upon your strengths with a renewed sense of hope and confidence in varied future possibilities.

Yidong imagine everyone as a piece of melody. Each melody has its basic tone, no matter what the lyric might be about. The tone is mystery to have access to and fix, where despite you can add different instruments to cover it and change lyrics for your melody, it still somehow feels the same. You may be feeling confused and tired, or frustrated and trapped. Instead devoting all the effort to change your tone, I am here to help provide insights and reflective attitude towards any tone that you bring into our space, that you resent, or confused about.

Currently, I only have weekday morning availability. I provide a safe and supportive space for my adult and adolescent clients to explore and work through the conflicts, concerns, and struggles that bring them to therapy. I believe every client has a set of skills and strengths that therapy can help to identify and build upon. Therapy focuses on uncovering underlying issues and thought patterns that may be negatively impacting the client's life. I also provide parent support to parents of adolescents who want to strengthen the relationship with their child/better understand their child's developmental needs.

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.

Every person who chooses therapy does so for a unique combination of reasons, as my patients have revealed to me in twenty years of private practice. No one fits into simple categories, teens especially. Some are impacted by events long ago, others by recent setbacks, while most are triggered by a combination of influences known and unknown. Working with children and adolescents, I understand these manifold pressures are sometimes accompanied by resistance to change, thereby limiting the otherwise positive support offered by family and friends. That’s when I can help.

The courage to face one’s anxiety, sadness or pain is a huge step towards healing. I consider it a privilege and an honor to have people share their life struggles with me. Psychodynamic therapy helps people understand themselves better and, ultimately, the answers that they seek about their lives and what will make them more fulfilled will be revealed.

As a therapist, my ultimate goal is to help you achieve greater happiness and satisfaction by better understanding yourself and your relationships with others. I have experience working with adults of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, sexuality, and gender issues. I also work with individuals facing life transitions, career challenges, health problems, and other stressful issues. I engage with people from diverse professional backgrounds, including artists and entertainers, and I am proudly LGBTQ+ affirming.
