Therapists in Hyde Park, NY

You're slamming the alarm clock; it was another night of broken sleep. You're feeling drained and wishing for a moment of peace and happiness. You are constantly giving to others when you're running low and rarely have time for yourself. You feel pressures and stress piling up and weighing on your shoulders. You want to reach out for help but are scared of being vulnerable and driving people away. At night when you lay down to sleep, the thoughts are racing and the worries return. All that you want is understanding, support, and acceptance.

Everyone deserves a soft place to land, a space to gather, to explore themselves deeply, and to heal. As a therapist this is what I hope to provide to each of my clients. I believe everyone is doing their best with the tools they have and that with nonjudgmental support and guidance, we all can reconnect and flourish within ourselves and our relationships. Together, we will develop a healing relationship where you can feel safe even when vulnerable, comforted in your struggles, and encouraged as you are guided toward the resources you need to feel more secure in the world.

Children deserve to have a wonderful sense of " It's good to be me!". That should carry through to adulthood, experiencing myself as empowered, loving, and many other great qualities, and able to have satisfying relationships. However, that great sense of self can be lost due to kinds of emotional and psychological wounding. This produces a loss of sense of wholeness and a resulting sense of fragmentation and all kinds of problems this fragmentation produces. My job is to help people regain their sense of wholeness and everything that goes with this and the feeling " It's good to be me".

Maybe you woke up today & said, "shit, I really need to find a therapist." Maybe you've said that many mornings. Perhaps you find yourself repeating the same cycles and wanting to stop, yet you keep spinning. Cycles of all types - anxiety, depression, self-sabotage, addiction, productivity issues and more. It leaks into different areas of your life - work, relationships, self-esteem... and it’s exhausting. Maybe you feel stretched thin, like butter scraped over too much bread. You want to feel more at peace, to have better relationships, and to understand more yourself. Luckily, therapy can help get you there.

As we walk through life, our experiences can often leave us feeling disconnected or even shattered; however, life also offers opportunities to heal in the deepest sense of the word. In our work together, it is my intention to walk alongside you as you find your way to your highest, most centered self. In my work, I have found that everyone collects trauma along the way and that within the context of a therapeutic relationship, meaning can be created and transformation occurs.

I work with individuals who have experience trauma (sexual, physical and emotional), individuals with anxiety, depression and experiencing loss (of a child or adult) and stressful life transitions including immigration.

My name is Soren and I work with children and adults of all ages to help people grow in whatever directions feel the most authentic to them. If you are feeling misunderstood, lost, trapped, or alone, my practice is a safe space for you. Many times we hide our deepest truths from others and even from ourselves in order to keep moving forward and not make a fuss or ignite difficult emotions. However, this denies us the chance for a more full and connected life. Life is hard, beautiful, and confusing. In my work we learn to hold space for all of these truths and explore them honestly.

Are you struggling with worry, overwhelm, and stress? Are you feeling limited or stuck in life? When personal exploration is supported and encouraged, we decide who we are and how we want to live our lives. I provide a therapeutic space that is compassionate and engaging so that you can gain insight and uncover new paths forward. I aim to help you to learn and grow from the past to live an intentional and empowered life in the present. My work emphasizes developing both practical tools to help you in the short-term and deeper healing/trauma work.

Imagine how you'd like to be in a year from now. Take a moment; I'll wait... Would you like to feel more alive, more energized, and at peace with yourself and those around you? Would you like to let go of the heavy boulders of anxiety, panic, anger, depression, and trauma symptoms? My goal is to join you on your journey to healing and help you achieve your vision. Why don't we chat for a few minutes, so you can see if this is the right choice for you? I look forward to getting to know you!

Beginning therapy can be scary, intimidating, and stressful, but can also make a big difference in your life. There are times we feel stuck, lost, confused, angry, or hurt. Periods when relationships feel like they’re falling apart, life feels aimless, or we feel unhappy and can’t quite pinpoint why. For some this is new, while for others it can be a lifelong struggle. Therapy provides a safe space for processing thoughts and feelings, for exploring the past and its influence over the present, and for risking change. Therapy can help you cope with challenges and make sense of what has happened so you can gather the skills to grow.

You excel in one or more areas of your life, yet you silently struggle with feelings of being unworthy and unlovable. Sometimes you may even feel like an outsider in your own life. Maybe you buy nice things, or go on amazing trips, but for some reason you still don’t feel happy. You may hide behind your work and push people away because you are afraid to let them know who you really are. This is not what you want to be doing but you can’t help it. This is not your fault. You are doing the best you can with the resources you were given. At The Empowerment Opportunity, we will help you tap into different resources within yourself.

Life can bring uncertainty and pain that we need help to navigate and heal from. Are you feeling unhappy or lost? Having relationship difficulties? Worried about the future? Have you endured great losses or hardships that are leaving you feeling confused, isolated or unlovable? You do not have to shoulder this alone. Maybe you want to feel fulfilled or joyful. Maybe you want to cultivate meaningful relationships. Maybe you want to grow in ways you never thought possible. I am passionate about helping people put the pieces of themselves back together in a way that leaves them feeling inspired and open to life's possibilities.

Contact me if you are struggling with relationship difficulties, sex, sexuality concerns, trauma, losses of loved ones, ADHD, depression or anxiety. I will help you better understand and accept yourself, and use your own insights and strengths to change and grow. I am also passionate about working with individuals, families and groups with cross-cultural/immigration background. Coming to United States as an international student myself, I deeply understand the challenges in the international community, the painful process of loss and separation from home countries, and difficulties to fit in due to language and cultural barriers.

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.

I am a mental health counselor with a limited permit, working under the supervision of Dr. Sheila Chiffriller, a licensed psychologist. I provide psychotherapy to a diverse population of clients, specializing in survivors of trauma, borderline personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues, anger, family issues, couples' issues, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, grief and bereavement. My practice is rooted in principles of affirmation, intersectional justice, harm reduction, and embodiment and holds the position that social oppressions and systemic problems operate as barriers to wellness.

Therapy is a noble, intimate, and sometimes messy undertaking. Those who come to it may hope to relieve emotional pain, expand their understanding of themselves and their life narrative, or access more moments of joy and presence. Together, we can help you move towards what you might otherwise shy away from, understand the source of challenges, and find new ways of coping and being in the world. I work from a psychodynamic, attachment-based framework, and blend tangible skills to help alleviate your pain in the day-to-day and enhance your relationships.

I have 10 years working in the mental health field and have worked with a wide range of populations.
