Therapists in Hyde Park, NY

Whether you're transitioning to a new job, anxious about a relationship, navigating a recent loss, these adjustments can feel stressful and overwhelming. I have experience working with trauma, grief, life transitions, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, and academic/occupational issues. I enjoy working with college/graduate students and young professionals. am trained in a range of modalities including CBT and DBT, but overall, I am person-centered, attachment based and psychodynamically oriented. Thus, I approach therapy from a trauma-focused lens, providing a safe space for clients to process all thoughts and feelings.

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".

What is holding you back? I work with young adults who don't know the answer to that question, who are struggling with life transitions, finding a purpose, and may be having a life "crisis." Often my clients are dealing with depression and anxiety related to difficulty making decisions, are stuck in an unsatisfying job, or are feeling confused and uncertain about the next step in their life. My goal is to help you understand what you want and what's holding you back.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. In my work I find it useful to draw on a variety of clinical perspectives as each client brings to the process a unique set of needs, strengths, and goals. I love helping clients get unstuck from the patterns they live and relive over and over, whether it be in their jobs, families, relationships, or even inside their own heads.

At one time or another, any one of us may feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. We may feel we are alone in our suffering or going through something no one else can understand. We may turn to drugs, alcohol or reckless behaviors. Our relationships suffer, our identity and self-worth collapse, and the vision we have for a happy, fulfilled future seems impossible to achieve. For many, therapy provides the guidance, skills, support and insight to unravel the source of suffering and change limiting thoughts, beliefs and behaviors into healthy, adaptive ones.

Helpp! What can I do when my thoughts leave me feeling overwhelmed and trapped in my own head? Enhancing your coping skills is a great start! I can help you unpack your negative thoughts, and empower you to create positive, affirming ones. Together, we will get you better acquainted with your emotions, and help you gain a sense of clarity and peace.

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.

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.

It can be challenging to ask for help (especially when you don't know what to expect or have been disappointed in the past) but the benefits of therapy are immense. Whatever you're struggling with, talk therapy proves to be one of the most effective ways to identify unhealthy patterns and better understand ourselves. The origins of mental and emotional pain are mysteriously complex sometimes, but it's often related to unmet emotional needs and feelings of shame that drive negative thinking and impulsive/restrictive behaviors that make it harder to get better. Let's work together to help you find lasting change.

Maybe you woke up today & said, "shit, I really need to find a therapist." Maybe you've said that many mornings. You know that your past affects you, but you aren’t sure how. It leaks into different areas of your life - work, relationships, self-esteem... and it’s exhausting. You find yourself repeating the same cycles and wanting to stop, but yet you keep doing spinning. Maybe you feel stretched thin, overextending yourself to please yourself or others. You want to feel more at peace, to have better relationships, and to understand more about yourself. However, self-help podcasts and books have only taken you so far...

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.

It's hard to say when things 'shifted', but you realize that you barely recognize the person you've been living with. It's both heart wrenching and horrifying to imagine that you and your partner have grown so far apart. You're questioning your relationship - maybe ALL of your relationships. You're a stranger to your partner, and they, to you. What brought us together to begin with? And why can't we work through even the simplest things? At some point maybe you convinced yourself that 'this will pass'. Maybe it started when you got that new job, when your kids were born, when... But now, the distance between you can't be ignored.

I have years of experience working with folks of all ages in various settings towards their mental health and life goals. With curiosity, humor, and compassion, I strive to create a space to explore the oftentimes messy worlds within and around us.

Are you facing personal or professional issues and want to feel heard, safe and validated? Do you feel stuck in your daily life, do you battle with self-worth or maintaining strong relationships? I specialize in working with adolescents, families, parents, & adults who want to make a change, but need the guidance and skillset to take control of their lives.

As a therapist specializing in children, teens, and adults, I utilize a range of modalities including CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, and Somatic interventions. With children, I employ attachment-based models, working closely with parents, to address anxiety and tantrums, fostering resilience and healthy development. When working with teens and adults, I delve into root causes while simultaneously enhancing coping skills to improve overall functioning. Each intervention is tailored to the individual's needs, ensuring a comprehensive approach to therapy.

I believe that therapy is a space for us to tackle life’s difficulties as well as celebrate life, find joy, and build self-compassion. I provide empathic, nonjudgmental psychotherapy, focused on deepening a sense of self-awareness, gaining insight into your emotional experiences, and empowering you to live a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic approach is rooted in relational and attachment-based theories. I frequently use humanistic, and behavioral interventions tailored to meet the needs of the individual or couple I am working with. I strive to create authentic and collaborative relationships with everyone I work with.
