Therapists in Harrison, NY

I work with clients experiencing life transitions, relationship issues, loss, self-esteem, loneliness, depression and existential anxiety. Our work will involve learning to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with your inner emotions and, instead become more mindful, acceptant and tolerant of your feelings. I can help you commit to taking concrete steps to incorporate changes. As a result you will gain more self-confidence, a stronger sense of identity or authenticity, greater success in establishing interpersonal relationships, and more trust in your own decisions.

My client-centered approach allows for freedom and encourages you to explore and move through your therapeutic process in your own time. My approach provides unconditional positive regard, appreciation, as well as the absence of judgment, and can allow for the reparation of suffering from a wide range of illnesses. My clinical experience focuses on integrating psychotherapy, visual arts practice and engaging the creative power of art for clinical assessment and treatment. My approach meets you where you are with empathy and compassion, while simultaneously helping to create a secure space for you to explore, repair and build.

I provide a warm, safe and interactive space, where we work together to gain insight and confront challenges. We will identify a uniquely tailored plan to meet your goals to lead a more fulfilling life. I work closely with adults facing anxiety, relationship issues, life stage changes and have an expertise in treating addiction/substance misuse. I utilize evidence based treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing and dialectical behavioral therapy to relieve your distress and allow you to engage in the present with increased motivation and confidence.

I am a human being, mom, wife, daughter, friend, a Spanish Bilingual/Bi-cultural Licensed Psychotherapist in this Universe. Love to help individuals, couples, families, and run groups as well. I provide brief treatment (life is too short to expend in years of therapy) Offer crisis intervention, Life Coaching, Career Development and Meditation for those who are interested in it. My client isn't only that one in emotional pain, no, my client is also that person who wants to feel much better and want to enhance every area of her/his life. My client is one who wants to move to a higher level of this human experience.

I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative, trauma informed, sex therapist, who works with both individuals and couples. My approach to the work is relational and interpersonal. Therapy is a place where you can be your truest self, without judgement. It is also a place to explore difficult and sometimes painful topics. I work with individuals and couples who want to feel more comfortable with their sexuality, improve sexual functioning, and have more intimacy in relationships overall. We will explore many aspects of life and relationships that might be impacting sexual functioning including culture, upbringing, religion, biology, and more.

Therapy is going to the gym for your emotional and relational well-being, so I give you a ton of credit for being here, exploring how to get in shape! Throughout my work, I have developed a style that is warm, direct, and actively challenges you to evolve. I have a tremendous working knowledge of evidence-based models, including CBT, DBT, MST, and ACT, as well as psychodynamic theory and the Gottman Method. My commitment to staying updated on current research and utilizing evidence-based models is a testament to my resolve to deliver therapy that actually works to help you meet your goals and experience relief.

When's the last time you really felt heard? That someone was truly listening to you & what you had to say, instead of just waiting for their turn to speak? In these times when social media seemingly offers instant connections to anyone, yet can still leave you feeling unheard, unseen and disconnected from everyone, having someone give you their undivided attention and consideration can be a rare find. I am that rare find.

Are you adjusting to a significant life event and would benefit from an additional support system? Significant life events can include, but are not limited to, relationship conflicts, changes in circumstances, such as family, health, or job adversities, or overall ongoing life stressors. Such life experiences can impact your daily life, how you cope with stress, and they can lead to serious mental health difficulties. Would you benefit from talking to a neutral person, developing healthy coping skills, and increasing healthy habits? Finding the right therapist to work with makes all the difference and I would love to be of support.
