Therapists in New York

Why do people seek therapy? Usually it's because they're feeling dissatisfied, anxious, or depressed--and it's becoming difficult to cope. Do you feel stuck in a relationship or work situation? Struggling with life transitions: marriage, divorce, pregnancy/infertility, parenting, career change, becoming an in-law, serious illness, aging parents? If you'd like to change your life, I can help you understand what's getting in the way. Working together in a safe, nonjudgmental space, we can help you find the solutions you're seeking.

I specialize in working with seniors and supporting and educating caregivers of individuals with dementia-related illnesses. If you’ve ever been on a plane, you’ve heard these instructions. “Please put your oxygen mask on first before assisting others.” Now, imagine hearing these words as a caregiver… Roughly translated it would mean, “take care of yourself and the better you will take care of others.” It’s difficult to see someone struggle, and oftentimes when we do, we sacrifice our own well-being to ensure theirs. It may not seem this way, but you both deserve hope and support through this challenging time.

To accept life's major changes with grace and dignity can be excruciatingly difficult. And yet, it is a challenge to welcome because when approached with careful consideration, it invites self-definition and intentional living. Are psychic wounds or limiting self-beliefs holding you back? What matters most to you? The Chinese sage, Lao Tsu, said, "If you don't change direction, you will end up where you are heading." Are you happy with your direction? If not, come see me. I listen carefully and help you find your way. I am an active, fully-engaged therapist.

My goal in working with you is to provide a safe/non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing the issues that bother you. Life has a way of bringing us challenges that we are not always prepared for. It might be related to a medical condition, issues with family, or the loss of a loved one. Sometimes it is related to trying to be comfortable in the life we have built for ourselves and the expectations of the community we live in. We will work together to identify your personal goals and strengths as you develop a plan to manage these life issues.

Whether you are struggling to find meaning in your life after dealing with the loss of a loved one, failing health, life changes or one of your parents, spouse or yourself has Alzheimer's or another dementing illness I am here to help you. Your first step is a phone call away. I will travel to your home. My clients are not necessarily "artists" and there is no need to be afraid of using art materials. Art therapy uses art materials to help you or your loved one in ways that words alone cannot. It is about the process, not the product!

I am a Mental Health Counselor with a Masters Degree in Counseling from Goldsmiths University of London where I trained in psychodynamic therapy. I also hold a Mental Health Counseling Advanced Graduate Certificate from the University at Buffalo and a certification in Creative Arts and Health from the New School for Social Research. I have facilitated music, writing, skill-building and discussion groups with a variety of populations. I am the author of Veganism and Eating Disorder Recovery (Routledge), a book which explores the discourse about veganism and eating disorders.

Life's greatest challenges usually come during times of transition and change. It's when we are forced to accept and adapt a new way of thinking and/or living that we find ourselves unraveling and losing all sense of control of what we once knew...or thought we knew. I have spent the greater part of my career working with individuals who live with various neurological conditions such as Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, Dementia, Neuropathy and many others. I have helped not only the person living with the disease, but their care giver/s as well. I work with adults and seniors predominately.

Life is full of struggles and transitions causing many people sadness, anger, anxiety, and fears. I will listen with compassion, empathy, and expertise. Together, we will explore personal strengths, self-awareness, and self-resilience. We will work together to reduce your anxiety, improve relationships, establish an empowered sense of self and develop confidence to match. With the appropriate support and a commitment to self-care, you can regain your sense of balance, find happiness, strength, and healing.

Each person's life story is unique. I hope to help you explore the chapters of your life story that you would like to understand better and improve. These subtle changes can enhance your day to day life today. The first step is recognizing that you want to make changes and then having the courage to do so. I work collaboratively with you or your child to help you explore what can be done to make changes and relieve some of the stressors. As an expert working with the Latinex and the Orthodox Jewish population, I understand the intersection of cultural identity and mental health.

Many conditions can affect our cognition, interfering with skills such as learning, memory, attention, problem solving, planning, or processing information. Neuropsychology is focused on understanding how brain health impacts cognition and behavior and using that information to make or clarify a diagnosis, develop an appropriate treatment plan, and/or monitor cognitive abilities over time.

I am skilled at helping adults with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, improving coping tools, and increasing self-esteem. I use creative approaches in a supportive environment to provide the best care I can for each individual person. Interventions range from traditional talk therapy to mindfulness techniques to engaging one's creativity through art or writing. I also specialize in psychotherapy for older adults and caregivers for medical and mental health issues including dementia.

If you feel stuck, limited, habitually repeating unwanted behaviors; caught up in negative thoughts/feelings; have experienced trauma and its long lasting effects, I offer you a gentle, compassionate, safe space as well as tools and skills to grow, change and heal. If you are blocked or lacking in passion, I will help you develop resources and pathways to a more joyous and fulfilling life. My work with couples/families focuses on improving communication, connection, problem solving; growing conscious, loving relationships. If you are wanting to embrace/embody graceful aging, let's help you live your most joyful, vital life.

My name is Lonnie Fox and I am a clinical social worker. I received my Masters Degree from NYU, and have 10+ years experience providing therapy and counseling to adolescents, adults and older adults. I have worked with these populations in community centers, mental health clinics and adult day programs focusing on dementia care. My career experience has evolved to include other adulthood transitionary times, such as graduations, new relationships, career changes and motherhood. I am a big supporter of meeting clients where they are at in order to best understand and cope with these times of transitions.

I am a licensed psychotherapist who believes every person has the capacity to change and improve their life. I work with the individual to identify their strengths and the areas that are creating stress or pain. Incorporating elements of cognitive behavioral therapy with other approaches, I help clients develop strategies to cope more effectively with problems including: anxiety and depression, grief, relationships, stress management, serious medical illness, problems at work, and issues of aging/ dealing with aging parents. It can be enormously beneficial to have a supportive and objective person to help navigate times of personal crisis or life transition.

My primary goals as a clinical psychologist are to help you:(1) live your life more fully, (2) feel more comfortable with and better about yourself, and (3) cope more productively with any stressors that you are facing. With this in mind, my therapeutic focus will be to provide you with the personal support that you need to make the changes that you want, and teach you specific techniques that you can use. We will do this in as time and cost efficient a manner as possible. Together, we will construct a new roadmap for you to use.

The goal in therapy is to become the best version of yourself. My clinical specialties include working with adult and older adult clients with anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, grief and loss, anger and stress management, relationship stress, and support for caregivers of loved ones with dementia. Our mind and body have a fascinating connection, and we would explore methods of healing from a number of techniques that pull from Western and Eastern medicine.
