Therapists in Valhalla, NY

A commitment to treat the whole person: BODY, MIND, HEART AND SPIRIT. My practice is dedicated to treating children, adolescent, college students, their family members, and special needs. Adults are seen on a case by case. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Expressive Therapist, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I view the body, mind, and spirit as being integrally connected and my practice is based on neuroscience research. My approach is integrative, holistic, dynamic, and experiential. This perspective has led me to extensive post-graduate training in cutting-edge techniques that help speed up the healing process

I am a trauma trained clinician who uses a mix of modalities to identify barriers to living the life you want, process what has you stuck, and make sure you have the skills you need to live a life with purpose. If you haven’t been to therapy or think it’s not for you, or you have a child who is protesting trying treatment, reach out to me; I tend to connect well with people who are treatment-resistant. I work with humans of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, non-suicidal self-injury, grief and bereavement, trauma & LGBTQIA+ folk. I am honored when someone commits to making this journey with me.

If you are struggling to be the person you want to be, having relationship issues or managing anxiety and depression don't go through it alone. I am here to help you work through your concerns with understanding and compassion. Having been through difficulties in my own life I am empathic towards others who are struggling. We will work together to identify unhelpful patterns and how to change them. You will also have a confidential space to think through what is happening so that you can get from where you are to where you want to be. You deserve to have peace of mind and calm in your relationships.

Life isn’t always easy! Sometimes, even the strongest amongst us need help to work through life’s challenges. In today's complicated world, we all struggle with a multitude of stressors. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I can help! I am passionate about encouraging my clients to focus on post traumatic growth within an empathic, validating and supportive clinical relationship.

Most of our patients have complex needs and are craving clarity and an effective plan.

Joy, Passion, Laughter are what we deserve and can embody. Let's explore the path to the life you desire including the ingredients that make your life truly exceptional.

Life has its way of sending us on paths that we’ve never actually intended to be on. Have you ever put an address in your GPS and while you’re driving, it starts saying, “Rerouting”? It’s sort of like living life with a plan (or even without one) and the unexpected sends you for a tailspin. Welcome to this thing we call ‘life.’ Especially during these days. *sigh and group hug*

Jungian analysis and psychotherapy treat a wide range of life's concerns and issues. Treatment focuses on resolving current difficulties or life changes, exploring relationship patterns or work conflicts, on understanding one's personal history more deeply, and more generally, on personal meaning and an enhanced quality of life. Certified Jungian analysts and psychotherapists are located in the greater New York area, including Westchester, Connecticut and New Jersey. Referrals can also be made to Jungian analysts in the wider United States and many countries throughout the world.

The areas in which I have worked extensively with children have been Anxiety, Performance Anixiety, Depression, Attention Deficit, Transitional Difficulties, Social Skills, Divorce, Loss, Separation, Anger Managerment and Learning challenges. I conduct individual, family, parent guidance/coparenting and group psychotherapy. I run Divorce, Loss and Social Skills groups for children ages 6-10.

Feel better faster with Intensive Therapy to address anxiety, sleeplessness, addictions, and depression. I specialize in the treatment of the long term effects of stress and trauma using the Intensive Therapy approach. Intensive therapy is structured psychotherapy designed to get to the root of the problem faster so clients can move on with their lives with less chronic symptoms. I use research-proven treatments integrated and tailored to meet the individual needs of each client. My approach is creative and collaborative, helping my clients confront what is often painful and otherwise intolerable, and work towards true healing.

The healing process is vulnerable and courageous. Whether you seek healing for yourself or your child, a safe holding space that provides supportive containment and compassion is so vital. I embrace each individual with the knowledge that one is the expert of their own lives. My role is to provide a space to access deeper wisdom and personal expression. I began my career in early childhood education and have brought my knowledge of early childhood development into my work as a therapist, with a focus on attachment, sensory processing and the nervous system constantly informing my work.

Seeking help when you are no longer able to manage problems or cope with distress requires courage and self-awareness. Choosing a therapist who supports your growth and healing is an essential part of the process. Your story, circumstances and needs are unique, and I believe that therapy should be tailored to fit. My approach is strengths based and trauma sensitive. I specialize in supporting clients through grief and loss, processing traumatic events, navigating life transitions and managing anxiety. I have specific training in EMDR and perinatal & postpartum depression, anxiety and mood disorders.

I specialize in perinatal mental health including postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. I also treat students entering or in college. I welcome all parents (new. experienced, hopeful) to my office. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, with a healthy dose of humor thrown in. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where we can work together, at your pace, to identify your goals and areas where you would like to see change. Give me a call to see how I can help!

I am presently accepting new clients for Parent Coaching only. I presently offer Attachment Parenting Coaching for individuals, couples, and ex's who are co-parenting in separate households. I also work with parents of estranged teenage and adult children to help them negotiate the distance in the relationship in ways that promote healing. My approach to working with parents is supportive, nonjudgmental, and includes hands on attachment based parenting strategies. Attachment Parenting creates structure and trust while bringing the child closer to the parent in an age appropriate way. All my therapy and coaching is offered online.

Life is a continuous process. Maybe it is a process of relationship struggle or life transition. We may feel anxious and stuck in repetitive patterns and find it difficult to pinpoint the reason. Partnering with me, we will pay close attention to your physical sensations, embodied emotions, and internal world. My immigrant background helps me attune with BIPOC communities, especially with Asian-Americans and international students. We can use a combination of art and talk to work through anxiety, trauma, cross-cultural adjustment, low self-esteem, being a people-pleaser, or perfectionist tendency.

What are the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves? Where do we learn them? Therapy is a great place to start creating new stories that are more aligned with your values and desires. I believe that healing happens in the relationship and approach therapy as a creative, collaborative experience between therapist and client, where humor, kindness, and self-expression are valued and encouraged. My areas of expertise include working with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma and family conflict, though I work with individuals of all ages to help them manage the stressors of life and achieve greater self-awareness
