Therapists in SoHo, New York, NY

We empower women to feel fierce and confident both personally and professionally. In short, we want you to feel like the badasses you were meant to be…PERIOD! We also help adolescents and parents navigate life transitions. For many of our clients, a lack of skills, low self-esteem, minimal self-empathy, and/or past hurts tend to get in the way of hitting desired goals and having fulfilling relationships. For adolescents finding autonomy while also dealing with ridiculously big emotions can wear on teens and parents. This can lead to depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation and self-harm

I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in evidenced-based treatment for children and adolescents. I also provide Parent Management Training, an evidence-based treatment program for parents who find their child's behavior difficult to handle. I have received extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based treatment. My approach to treatment is goal oriented, time-limited and skills-based. I take a nonjudgmental and empathetic approach to patterns of behavior that may be inhibiting your child or teenager from living life to his or her fullest potential.

Does your child have trouble expressing their thoughts and feelings? Are you frustrated with your child's behavior? Are they struggling socially or academically and you are unsure why? I offer individual psychotherapy as well as psychological, psychoeducational, and neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults.

I consider it a privilege to work with individuals to explore their inner worlds towards greater self-knowledge and fulfillment in relationships with themselves and the world around them. I work primarily with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, periods of transition/adjustment, and relationship difficulties. I also treat children with a range of difficulties including mood and behavioral problems.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in private practice in New York City. I treat Adults, Adolescents, and Children. I provide Individual Therapy, Family Therapy, Couples Therapy, Marriage Therapy, Group Therapy, Play Therapy, Mindfulness, and Sandplay Therapy. In addition, to the many clinical issues I treat (Anxiety/Depression) I provide specialized treatments in Substance Abuse/Dependence, and Methadone/Suboxone (Medication Assisted-Treatment- Counseling), ADHD/ADD, and Social Skills training (all patients/ Asperger's).

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker my passion lies with helping children and families effectively navigate their daily lives. Over the years I have worked with children and families, collaborated with different professionals and advocated on children’s behalf within a variety of systems. I provide a warm and supportive environment where I help children and families address issues such as: managing overwhelming emotions, developing social skills, creating a positive sense of self, building strong communication skills and more. My philosophy is for children and adolescents to feel seen, feel heard and feel understood.

The demands of modern life pull children, teens and parents in so many different directions and parents are feeling more pressure than ever to get it right. But what if there is no definitive right way to parent? What if you tell yourself, “I’m a good parent even though my child is struggling right now”? You are a good parent, your child is a good kid, and everyone requires a little extra help sometimes. That's where I come in. I have 10 years of experience providing that extra help to kids and parents who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and socioemotional or behavioral challenges.

Do you have dreams for your life? Or have you lost track of them? Don't let anxiety, depression, or family problems stop you. Use the private space of psychotherapy to give yourself a new beginning. Find your way from old problems to new possibilities. Do you have a child who worries you? Come in for parenting help. Or, bring your child in for play therapy, so he or she can deal with challenges in a way that is natural to children. GIve a chance to natural routes to growth and change!

Psychoanalytic therapy is often maligned in popular media but it remains for me one of the few treatments that seeks to address the innermost, often hidden, parts of ourselves. Psychological symptoms are not only a source of suffering, they are also a message that speaks to desires, conflicts, and pain, wrought by a personal history that can sometimes only come alive when spoken to a professional listening other. The flip-side of anxiety is always a passionate dream that has not been encountered as such. I see my work as bringing my clients closer to that possibility. The intimacy of speaking and listening is rare and a gift.

Seeking therapy for your child can be extremely stressful. I believe that when a child faces difficult times, it's crucial that they're supported and taught skills in order to help benefit their future. Managing the stressors of life and the behaviors our thoughts create can be extremely difficult.

Everybody could benefit from the mental and emotional support therapy has to offer, particularly in NYC, a place where everyone experiences stress about relationships, living environment, and everyday life. Each New Yorker should have his or her own psychotherapist! If you are going through challenging times and are in need of support; if you need a space to unpack all the stress you are carrying, or if you are ready to make a change in your life, call. Psychotherapy is about working together to create the best version of who you are and of your life at this moment.

I am an experienced clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach is grounded in a relational perspective, where I work to establish a safe and collaborative space in order to promote insight, curiosity, and personal growth. As a clinician I emphasize and value the therapeutic relationship, and work to meet each person where they are. My goal in working with people, is to work together to help bring meaning and understanding to the ways in which we respond and react to the world around us.

As a psychologist licensed in both NY and TX, my aim is to help people understand and overcome challenges that are restricting their well being, relationships, and effectiveness at work. For adults, I specialize in these issues: high-achievers, stress management, relationship issues, life transitions, parenting, marital or family conflicts, anxiety and depression (e.g., social anxiety, covid-19 related). It is truly rewarding to watch my clients become more self-regulated, more satisfied in their relationships, and more equipped to handle life’s stressors through learned coping skills.
