Gottman Method Therapists in New York, NY

SLOTS open NOW! Many of my clients come seeking clarity on why they feel the way they feel, what's getting in the way of their goals, and how they have established patterns of relating that do not serve them. Others struggle with long-term mental health issues, trauma or crisis. I work with clients to solve problems and diminish symptoms by exploring the roots of their troubles. Through my training and careful listening, I empower my clients to create lasting change in their lives through the insight we gain together while providing a safe space to connect and experience relief.

"When we protect ourselves so we won't feel pain, that protection becomes like armor that imprisons the softness of the heart". In therapy, rather than avoiding pain, we learn how to hold space for it. Therapy is a space to slow down, to be present and to fully connect to ourselves and our experiences. When we connect directly to our experiences, we create space to foster emotional growth, gain insight and move toward healing.

Reaching out for help can feel difficult for many of us. However, we deserve the chance to heal, grow, and thrive in a way that feels authentic to our values and dreams. I offer a modern therapeutic experience for the modern adult. I aim to be compassionate, authentic, and direct when working with clients; always prioritizing building trust and safety within our relationship. I will help you explore how both past and current experiences may be playing a role in present-day challenges. Then, we will work on learning skills that will help you live the life you wish for and deserve.

Our practice, NYC Cognitive Therapy, includes a staff of male and female therapists with intensive post-graduate training in cognitive-behavior therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most widely researched and evidence-based form of therapy. CBT has been shown in more than one thousand studies to be effective in treating a wide range of psychological problems. CBT is active and teaches you the tools to be your own therapist. You are not alone and we are available to help you feel better. We also practice Gottman Method Couple Therapy, Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT).

As a NY State and Florida State Licensed Psychotherapist, I specialize in Couples Counseling. I am a Gottman Method Couples Therapist working with individuals and couples who struggle with: Disconnection, Lack of desire and intimacy, Negative communication patterns, Infidelity, and other traumas. If there is resentment or complacency in your relationship, surely disconnection is setting in. It takes some work to get back on track, and this can be done safely and efficiently with the help of a skillful therapist. I also do individual work with clients on various issues listed on my website https://www.kmhealth.net

Is anxiety, depression, or anger holding you from enjoying your life? Are having a hard time finding motivation after a breakup or losing a loved one? Are you struggling with your relationships/setting boundaries, or feelings of guilt. As a psychotherapist my work is driven by the deeply held belief that people get better. Every person has the ability to heal, make connections, and deserves healthy relationships. I can guide you through life's challenges with compassion and respect. My style is interactive/engaging and I work collaboratively with you to promote the growth and change you desire.

Pursuing your full potential is a noble goal, but it can feel frustrating when you get stuck and you're not making meaningful progress. I aim to help you build a strong foundation for your pursuits. We’ll work together to clarify your guiding principles and develop tools so that you can take meaningful action toward your goals. I specialize in providing support to adults and young adults struggling with ADHD, low self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship issues. As a son of immigrant parents, I am also familiar with the pressures that can come from fulfilling a specific role and expectations for one’s family.

Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationship/dating, family role, job, health or some other area of your life? Are you feeling anxious? Are you struggling with symptoms of ADHD? I am here to help you get to the root of the issue and together, we can work on finding ways for you to feel better. My approach to therapy is holistic and eclectic. I blend cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and mindfulness-based techniques to tailor the treatment to your personality and desired outcome. I also utilize the Gottman Method for relationship and dating issues.

Sometimes in life we feel disconnected from ourselves and the people we love most. We feel a strong desire for change whether we know exactly what that change is yet or not. At times that change is forced upon us due to a loss of some kind in which we find ourselves grieving and in pain. Or the change we want feels unacceptable and risky. As a therapist, I believe in the transformative power of change. I believe we all possess internal wisdom and the ability to change in ways that are needed and desired. I am also aware that change can be scary and feel impossible at times.

Whether you are feeling anxious, fearful, stuck, or seeking to improve the quality of your relationships, I can offer guidance in resolving inner conflict and living authentically. Together we will work to uncover underlying causes of distress, examining old stories that keep you stuck, and moving away from unhealthy patterns, thus creating freedom and fluidity. Psychotherapy has the power to be a metamorphic experience, and my aim is to create a warm, accepting environment to help you gain insight and navigate away from behaviors that get in the way of personal fulfillment.

My mission as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) is to empower individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. With diverse experiences, I've assisted clients in navigating various challenges, witnessing the transformative impact of talk therapy. Being part of clients' journeys towards positive change fills me with pride and reinforces my commitment to helping them lead fulfilling lives.

I am a trauma-informed provider supporting couples and individuals navigating grief/loss, conflict, trauma and transition. I am passionate about supporting folks identifying with neurodiversity (eg. eg. autistic, AuDH, diagnosed with ADHD, etc ). Clients I support often struggle with the impact of stories about who they "should be", questioning, "Do I matter?" or shedding pieces of themselves to create a sense of belonging. Understanding our stories is one of the bravest things we can do. Together we can explore yours, identify your values and strengths, and pursue healing and growth.

Our cultural emphasis on paid work identity has led to some of us getting stuck continually striving for “more” and feeling starved in other areas like meaning making, community, spirituality and connection. My life experience with trauma, addiction and LGBTQ+ concerns make this work personal for me. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex-positive, inclusive of all identities and enjoy working with clients in every life stage. My professional and personal experiences allow me to have deep empathy for those who are facing major life challenges such as trauma, substance misuse, divorce, career change, chronic health issues and loss.

I believe that positive reinforcement and approach in life can help people with individual and interpersonal challenges. I specialize in Marriage and Family therapy, couples counseling, anxiety, depression and anger management. I am a clinical fellow of The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, where I expand my professional expertise (in addition to my clinical work) to optimize therapeutic services provided to my patients.

Investing in your own emotional well-being is a wonderful decision. If you take this journey with me, it would be a collaborative one. I work with adult individuals and couples who seek to overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, hard life transitions or relational struggles. I believe each individual holds inherent strengths and the capability to change. Together we would create a space for you to process your experiences while identifying tools you can use to move forward.

My style of therapy is based upon a client-centered approach. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to empower your dreams. I'm a hands-on therapist that incorporates several modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gottman Method interventions, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness.

I work with individuals ages 22-37 who are struggling with racing thoughts, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues, and life transitions. I also help those struggling with prior trauma and PTSD. I help clients disentangle their thoughts, learn to cope with their stressors, improve their self-esteem, and make life transitions. Our work will teach you new coping skills, change your ways of thinking and relating to others, and resolve any past traumatic experiences that might be leaving you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or less connected to yourself or others.

I'd love to be a part of the change you desire in your life, whether you want to shift troubling moods, resolve relationship difficulties, or end addictions. My expertise includes working with individuals and couples who face a broad range of challenges such as stress, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, infidelity, anxiety, depression, and addictions. I have a special interest in life transitions, such as new parenthood or divorce, career changes, and upcoming or recent high school or college graduates. I have completed level three training in the Gottman Method, and am excited to work with couples to improve their relationships.

You can feel confident that whatever your issue is, we can talk about it and together we can figure out an approach to alleviate your suffering. Sometimes we need guidance while at other times we need someone to listen and hold space for us. It is possible that you are looking for a fresh take on your circumstances or have tried "everything" out there and are ready to give up. Do not be discouraged. We can figure out a way for you to heal.
