Therapists in New York

Accepting new clients via telehealth! Struggling with your mental health can be difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. Whether it be depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, or other mental health issues, I am here to help you understand where your issues have stemmed from, work on healing them, and learn new ways to cope and interact with your world. In working with me, you can expect to have a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your innerworld. I work with clients of all ages, and in individual, couple, or family modality.

When confronted with unforeseen challenges, we often do not know how to approach them and feel overwhelmed in the process. These challenges or experiences could be internal, interpersonal, environmental, or all the above. At NCS, we provide counseling services to help our clients process difficult emotions, provide coping skills, and collaborate to create the life path they desire.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of direct clinical experience. I specialize in working with culturally diverse young adults (aprx age 18-35) who are having difficulty regulating themselves and experiencing some level of emotional and/or behavioral distress, which sometimes leads to significant problems in school, at work, and/or in relationships with oneself and others. Often, this distress can be eased with increased self-awareness that supports your ability to regulate your internal experience so your emotions feel manageable, your thoughts are more comforting, and you have more control over your behavior.

Transform Your Life Through Therapy. For over 15 years, I've cultivated a safe, judgment-free sanctuary for clients to self-discover and heal. As an attuned, compassionate therapist, I gently guide you through your journey. My integrative approach draws from evidenced-based methodologies like CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, Trauma and Attachment Based Therapies, mindfulness practices, and somatic psychotherapy. By rewiring your story, you'll experience a profound transformation that extends far beyond the therapy room.

As humans, we tend to avoid our more difficult and complex emotions in hopes that they will disappear. However, it is more often the case that the feelings we turn inward find their way out, and sometimes in a less-than-ideal way. Therapy is a unique space to explore the parts of you that tend to stay hidden. It is a space to “look beneath the hood” to understand more fully who you are and "why" you are. With this newfound insight, we can explore ways for you to engage more fully in your life and relationships, dig into your sense of purpose, and reconnect with (or discover for the first time) feelings of stillness and joy.

Are you struggling with high-functioning anxiety, imposter syndrome, perfectionism or a people-pleasing tendency? You may feel constantly anxious or on the edge. But when you look for help, you often end up feeling not heard/understood. You're not alone and it's time to stop problem-solving all by yourself. Finding a therapist is daunting, but with a little step, you will no longer get stuck alone in the darkness. Together, we will address a roadblock in your life and build emotional and interpersonal skills in your tool box.

My goal as a clinician is to create a safe space where we can work through issues that may be causing you distress, and eventually celebrate your positive growth. I may be a particularly good fit for those seeking support around interpersonal relationships, life transitions, trauma, anxiety or depression. Together, we will explore the patterns in your life that are no longer serving you. I am also a certified perinatal mental health provider and have a special interest in working with folks navigating challenges around parenthood including postpartum depression/anxiety, birth trauma, pregnancy loss and infertility.

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist striving to deliver high-quality therapy that is holistic and tailored to you. My priority is providing a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship. This foundation is the groundwork that allows my clients to take risks in therapy and discuss what is really getting in the way of the life they want to lead. Therapy with me means going beyond the surface of thoughts and behaviors to access underlying emotions that are often at the root of feeling stuck. As an attachment-based therapist, I help my clients explore their relationships and their emotional and behavioral patterns.

If we think alike, we would agree that a good life is a life in which we are able to work, to love, and to play. However, in reality, many situations become barriers and prevent us from enjoying life. At times, we might even feel we can't breathe. As a devoted therapist, I will work together with you to remove these barriers -- whatever the cause might be: career stress, rocky relationships, identity confusion, past trauma... You need not face your problems alone. Over years, I have witnessed changes happening, wounds healed, trust rebuilt, and fear given way to courage.

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. An achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with individuals and couples to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined.

Hello, my name is Anna; I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist and a certified Neuro-Emotional Technique Practioner. I work with individuals, couples, and family systems, to better understand their unique dynamics and the influence these pre-existing patterns can have on our individual well-being. I offer collaborative support in discovery and recovery of connection with self and others. I particularly enjoy working with client's who identify as neuro-divergent and/or who are seeking personal growth/transformation.

Our clinical areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, martial issues, codependency, self-esteem, women’s issues, substance abuse, harm reduction, grief, and transitional concerns. Through evidenced based approaches, we aim to tailor our treatment approach specific to the needs of each individual. We believe in helping individuals build on their strengths, gain insight, and develop effective coping skills.

The experience of suffering is unique for each individual and deserves to see the light of day and fall upon the ears of an empathetic, insightful and attuned listener. Navigating the stormy seas of conflicts, desires, fears, and pain can feel impossible to do on ones own. I invite you to come speak with me so that together we may begin to listen in new ways to the valuable stories contained within the innermost often hidden aspects of self, opening paths to exploration of thoughts, feelings, and experiences that have previously eluded articulation in order to move towards greater clarity, self-understanding, and transformation.

In my practice you will find a safe, non-judgemental place where you can stop and take stock of your life. Somewhat like a shelter when you feel stuck and need to find a way out. I work with people with issues that are very specific - a relationship/job problem, repetitive thoughts and rituals. As well as with people with problems that feel deeply perplexing - a vague and sometimes acute feeling something is wrong in their life. In either case, I can help you overcome the emotional challenge you face now and find a better footing to tackle whatever you might encounter to live a happier, more fulfilled life.

Reaching out for support is one of the most powerful and important things you can do for yourself. Together through deep introspection, self-focus, and collaborative action, we will build within you a strong set of tools to help you move through your life with more confidence and ease. Through our work, we will uncover and strengthen the resilience that lies within you and set you up for the life you want to live.

Have you wanted to tackle some things that have been holding you back from achieving your full potential? Are there aspects of your past you may be avoiding? Are you wondering if you have addiction issues? Perhaps your family's history is something you need to discuss with someone?

I specialize working with individuals and couples of color helping with depression, anxiety, overcoming trauma, colorism, impacts of racism, uprooting cultural disparities and relationship challenges. I aim to teach or rebuild positive communication and conflict resolution skills. I also aim use evidence based interventions such as Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Techniques with an Afrocentric worldview.

I hold clients accountable to their goals and expectations they set for themselves.

Most people solve most problems on their own or with help from friends, but that doesn’t always work. Troubles mount up. Upheavals catch you unawares. “Go to” solutions can leave you empty-handed. Even planned changes can be disorienting - new jobs, retirement, new relationships, going off to school, children leaving home. Sometimes people just need help coping, changing bad habits, or thinking through options. Other times people feel hemmed in by circumstances, or find they don’t recognize themselves in the life they lead and want to deepen their sense that the life they are living reflects their own values and choices.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression or major life changes? If so, the good news is that there are scientifically proven methods to help you heal and get relief from your symptoms. As a trained and experienced therapist, I can guide you on a journey of self-discovery that will ultimately help you unburden, transform and heal.
