Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in New York

Sometimes it's difficult to know the full extent of the way our trauma and life experiences have impacted us. We find ourselves repeating certain patterns that we know are not good for us and can't seem to break the chain, we constantly fall into moods and feelings that it's difficult to pull ourselves out of. In deciding to do therapy with me, together we learn how to identify the ways in which your past trauma and life experiences show up in your adult life and begin rewriting your narrative for your future.

If you are struggling in your relationships, experiencing a life transition, open to uncovering the roots of your painful emotions, finding yourself in patterns that are not serving you, curious to work through trauma, and/or in need of support to cope with all that life can throw at you, I am here for you. My clients tend to be more resilient than they realize, and I am here to help you utilize that strength. Together, we can process whatever it is you are dealing with presently, or have dealt with in the past, and help you release your burdens so you can live the life you want to live, which you deserve.

If you are struggling in your daily life, I am here to help. I work with adults who are seeking help with coping or managing their anxiety, depression, past or present trauma, relationship difficulties, or any other issue that is preventing them from fully living their lives. You may be seeking relief from persistent difficult feelings, hoping to make long-lasting changes in your life, or needing to process traumatic experiences. My deepest goal is to provide a safe space that offers empathy, genuineness, and warmth, as I help you to identify and harness your inner strengths.

Hi, thank you for stopping by. Breaking unhealthy patterns of behavior. Struggling with a (recent or past) traumatic event. Working on your anger or other emotions that get in the way of achieving goals. Learning how to set boundaries. Gaining insight about yourself. Learning more effective ways to communicate at work or in your personal relationship. Can't vent to friends or family anymore. All of these are the right reasons for therapy. This is the first step towards feeling better, thinking better, working better and living better.

Do you find yourself getting stuck in the same relationship patterns over and over again? Do you find yourself doing everything in your power to discontinue previous relational patterns and behaviors? Are you struggling with self-doubt, low-self-esteem, and painful self-criticism that seems to be holding you back? My approach to therapy looks at these patterns and behaviors through the lens of parts work. This allows us to separate the self (you), from the parts that struggle with self-doubt, and from the parts that persist in repeating unhealthy relationships and behavioral patterns.

Intimate relationships are an opportunity for great love, enrichment of our lives and true partnership. The challenges we face in modern-day society and the lack of training we receive often equate to great difficulties within some of our most important relationships. I love relational work because we have an opportunity to create meaningful, loving and supporting relationships, but only if we have the tools to do so. Imago Relationship Therapy provides tools, a perspective shift and a roadmap. This is courageous work, that can significantly impact yourself, your relationships and those around you.

Choosing to begin therapy is a wise and wonderful step in the direction of healing wounds and belief systems which may be holding you back. Together, we will collaborate to help you unearth your true self and discover the most beneficial strategies and skills for you to actively pursue and practice living the life you desire. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor experienced in working with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in relationships, life transitions, supporting business and helping professionals, trauma, anxiety, grief, sexuality, OCD, confidence building and spirituality.

You are probably reading this because something doesn't feel right and you hope for change - you may be down or anxious, perhaps you are struggling with work or a relationship. Taking the first step is always the hardest, so I recognize the courage it takes to look for a therapist. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed or ungrounded or maybe have a sense of being stuck or lost. We all go through times when life feels harder than it should. Whatever is going on, talking does help. Therapy gives you the space to slow down and turn your attention inward.

I specialize in working with women and children. I am trained in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International, specializing in working with postpartum mood disorders, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, infertility, pregnancy loss, people trying to conceive, and termination for medical reasons. I also work very closely with parents on parenting difficulties and strategies. Besides supporting women through motherhood, I am also passionate about supporting high achieving women manage anxiety and stress and unlearning unhelpful patterns in their personal and professional lives.

Be yourself - everyone else is taken! My practice focuses on people struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, trauma, and anxiety. These often manifest as difficulties in romantic, social, and work success. I help my clients feel better about themselves, less alone, and more capable of loving and being loved. My clients end up feeling more comfortable in their own skins and engage in life, work, and relationships with greater confidence.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you find yourself repeating patterns that leave you unfulfilled in your relationships or unable to make changes? I offer a safe and judgement free space where the collaborative process of guided exploration and curiosity will lead to deeper understanding and self-acceptance. I will help you see the choices in your life so you can become an active participant in the life you want to lead. Together we will consider your family-of-origin dynamics, belief systems, and how those as well as other systems play a part in your current relationship with yourself and others.

I work best with young adults struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, life transitions, and stress management. I look to help clients process their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, create a deeper awareness and understanding of themselves, and ultimately develop self-compassion, relief from symptoms, and positive change. I work collaboratively with clients to identify both positive and negative patterns or areas for potential growth in their lives, create goals for themselves and improve at their own pace.

Reaching out to a therapist is the hardest part. Now that you've found me, let me make the rest easier. I see therapy as a collaborative process and one where together we discover what is already working and what needs some attention. I'm an active participant and see us as a team where we get to know all of your parts, beliefs and identities. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, are struggling with your career or life trajectory, dealing with family or relationship issues, I am ready to get you or your relationship to a happier, healthier place.

I am a mental health counselor with a specialization in trauma. My perspective on working with clients is through a lens that traumas, both big and small, can create rifts within our selves, our personal relationships, and hinder our potential. I am trained in EMDR through an EMDR international association approved training and IFS through the IFS institute. Both modalities offer evidence based treatment for trauma. If you choose to enter therapeutic work with me you can expect a space where your feelings and experiences are validated while we work together to examine those that are challenging or not currently serving you.

I have a passion for helping adults, teens, and children heal from trauma. Whether you're struggling with a complex trauma history or navigating through a stressful life event, I work alongside my clients to help them navigate challenging experiences, overwhelming emotions, and confusing relationship dynamics (in families or with partners). My clinical focus and passion is working with clients navigating intimate partner violence, family violence, sexual assault, abuse as a child, and other complex traumas. In recent years, I've also developed a specialty in working with parents of children with special needs.

I believe in everyone’s ability to heal and grow. With genuine care, authenticity, and deep respect, I accompany clients on their journey. We will explore the route of your struggles and uncover any blocks or adaptations that don't serve you today, which will allow you to experience and share more of your true SELF. I provide a safe, supportive environment to do deep work, grieve losses, heal traumas, anxieties, and depression, and develop a more secure relationship with yourself, others and the world. Together we will discover and hone your inner strengths, your ability to be present, and help you make the changes you desire!

I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, poly- and kink-knowledgeable post-doctoral psychologist offering individual and relationship counseling.

I work with adults struggling with varying levels of trauma, stemming from childhood or current relationships. I enjoy assisting young adults in their journey of discovering who they are, including clarifying their identity, whether that's sexual orientation or coming of age situations. I also work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, Bipolar disorder, and relationship issues.

Looking for a warm and empathetic psychotherapist who takes a humanistic approach. My goal is to provide curious inquiry through a non-pathologizing lens filled with compassion and care. I view therapy as a heart-centered, shared journey focused on healing and wellness.
