Therapists in 10010

I have broad experience over twenty five years, in private practice, family agencies and clinical settings. I offer short and long term treatment for problems in living and relating. My approach is relational, with a mind-body, whole person perspective. My practice includes clinical supervision, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I often support couples in healing stuck relational dynamics; at any stage of a relationship. Having lived abroad, I work well with expats around questions of identity, acculturation and belonging. I also work with new mothers and those who have lost a parent during early adulthood.

Life can be difficult at times. For many of us protecting ourselves from knowing our suffering can take the form of troubling emotional symptoms, self-destructiveness as well as anxieties and inhibitions. Yet it is precisely these symptoms we must take the time to listen to as messages communicating something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes - the emotional meanings of our personal history. By listening to you closely and carefully, we will explore together thoughts and feelings that were previously unknown to you yet powerfully affect your life. Talking changes the way things look.

I can help you when you are: Feeling depressed, sad, panicky or anxious. Having difficulty with work/school, breaking up a relationship or seeking how to repair a relationship. Just wanting to be heard and understood. Seeking to make positive transitions, self-growth and improve yourself. I offer: Psychotherapy that can be the best for "YOU". Psychological insights, help find ways to cope with stress and best solutions. Finding a perfect therapist is a courageous important first step to achieving your goal! My practice is located in NYC, Westchester and Long Island. I will respond your inquiry within 24 hours.

My passion and focus is working with adults, adolescents, and families experiencing distress in their relationships and/or symptoms of depression and anxiety. I approach my work with clients from a place of genuine curiosity and understanding. I aim to provide a safe space where we can discuss the challenges getting in the way of achieving your goals and create a sustainable support system for lasting change in your life. I pride myself on being transparent during the process and an active participant in session.

Despite our best efforts to change, obstacles can be terribly difficult to overcome in isolation; I am dedicated to creating a safe space in which we can explore the thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relational patterns that may be causing you to feel stuck. I work with young adults on the various challenges that arise when transitioning into adulthood, including creating healthy romantic/peer relationships, early career development, and challenging family dynamics. I have experience supporting individuals in exploring their gender, sexual, and romantic identity development, and welcome members of the LGBTQQIA+ community.

I often find that bringing awareness to underlying conflicts while providing tangible support provides the most lasting results. I have advanced training in psychodynamic techniques as well as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Your needs and how you wish to approach them will drive our work together.

I have been in private practice for more than 15 years and pride myself on helping individuals develop a strong sense of identity. I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The New School for Social Research and have extensive training from Beth Israel Medical Center, North Central Bronx Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital, and New York Presbyterian Hospital. I practice in Westport, CT, and Manhattan, NY. I work with families, adults, children, and adolescents suffering from mood, anxiety, and eating disorders, and help cope with life transitions, including parenthood, divorce, emerging adulthood, medical illness, and end-of-life.
