Therapists in New York

Are you struggling with finding healthy ways to cope? Life can be pretty stressful and overwhelming for a variety of reasons. Relationships, family issues, parenting, work, school, daily functioning, responsibilities, social struggles can all become difficult to cope with. I believe it is important to collaborate with the client to find out what they would like to gain from attending therapy so that goals can be attained while facing these challenges.

Dear client, I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Drama Therapist here to support your healing and co-create a new or different reality. I will work with you to engage the fullest you and attain your goals both inside and outside of the therapeutic space.

I work collaboratively with my clients to optimize their levels of happiness and minimize their levels of emotional distress. Utilizing cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and behavior therapy (BT), EMDR, and components of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) in a supportive, validating, non-judgmental environment, I assist my clients in overcoming anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, eating disorders, and personality disorders, among other issues. I also conduct various types of psychological assessments, including forensic psychological evaluations and immigration exemption evaluations.

Effective therapy develops goals for change. Treatment also supports establishing new ways of experiencing life, behaviors and relationships. My private practice emphasizes making change through openness and trust, and building a personal plan that suits your unique life circumstance. There is no prescription for the length of therapy; some changes can occur with a few sessions and others may taken longer. Having realistic goals can help define when therapy is completed. Please call or email me learn more.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families with ten years’ service in this very rewarding work.

I also provide group therapy to address Domestic Violence and Self-Esteem in addition to Parenting with Purpose, classes for those with ACS involvement and mandated to a parenting program by the court. I have significant experience addressing the effects of racism, chronic illness, depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, family conflict and more.

Destigmatizing mental health is one of the biggest challenges we face in todays society. Many individuals are reluctant to seek treatment due to fear of how they may be perceived by their family, friends, and/or any person that plays a significant role in their life. Negative thinking and negative emotions combined with daily stressors is almost certain to lead you down an unhealthy path.

My philosophy is simple in regards to problem solving, effective communication, improving relationships, working towards reaching a personal maximum potential and in healing from trauma. It’s to identify thoughts, feelings, wants, and needs. I believe that as soon as a person is able to communicate these four insight oriented drives, life immediately begins to improve and problems get solved. While this may sound easy, for many people it takes time to gain insight, self-evaluate, uncover and accept why we are the way we are (ie: biology and life experiences), decide on and follow through on changes to make in their life.

I am dedicated to helping you through mental health, family, and couples issues with empathy and expertise. Your first session will always be offered within 7 days, and guiding you to your "best self" is my priority. As owner of practice Whole Wellness Services, I have designed a treatment team of experts that are solution focused and utilize evidence based practices while retaining a holistic philosophy. Individuals that come to us for therapy are looking for help with getting to a more joyful place and alleviating symptoms or behaviors that may be holding them back from doing so.

Searching for the best therapist can be overwhelming, we can help simplify this process for you. We are a group of down to earth, professionally trained, and compassionate therapists, who come from various backgrounds and cultures, and who can help you with your needs. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, life changes and transitions, feeling depressed or stuck, or experiencing challenges in your most important relationships, our team of therapists at Bhava Therapy Group are here to help you.

People often reach out with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and the challenges of navigating life transitions. Whatever the specific issue, clients often share a common goal: to gain a deeper understanding of the issues they’re struggling with, to challenge and replace patterns of thought and behavior that are not serving them, and to learn helpful coping skills to manage stressors in healthy and productive ways. Ultimately, clients frequently aspire to cultivate a life of fulfillment, authenticity, and peace.

If you feel anxious, depressed, fearful, relationship or family problems? We offer a cutting edge integrative assessment to address possible sources of your mental health symptoms versus simply treating the symptoms. We look at your overall health including hormones, vitamin deficiency and environmental issues that may play a role. We develop a unique individualized evidence based treatment plan to manage or resolve your symptoms. I bring an integrative strength based perspective to my counseling. We teach mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Patients that I meet with will receive a full range of psychotherapy services. I provide parenting counseling, relationship counseling, cognitive therapy, group therapy, psychoanalysis, and anger management. Psychotherapy is available for issues including anxiety, depression, substance abuse as well as eating disorders, couples therapy, individual and family therapy. HIV pre and post counseling, postpartum depression, court mandated treatment, phobias/panic attack, autism, Asperger, ADHD/ ADD, and OCD are a few of the presenting issues I specialize in with over 40 years of experience.

I believe my clients are the experts in their lives. I see myself as a facilitator of conversations that lead my clients to new perspectives. Therapy is an opportunity to take control of one's problems and as an opportunity to become the preferred version of oneself. My hope is to provide you with the tools and perspective to know that even when you FEEL there is nothing but closed roads, detours and wrong way signs in life, you KNOW you possess the power to strive for, obtain and maintain THROUGH and OVER it all.

Therapy is a human relationship above all where listening, empathy and understanding are paramount. I work collaboratively to create a course of therapy catered to your goals and desired areas of change. I bring with me 20+ years experience, but perhaps most importantly, empathy and a good sense of humor! I primarily practice solution-focused therapy which shares the same underlying philosophy as life-coaching.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed and unsure what to do next, it's time to get help. Let's turn your pain and uncertainty into growth you never thought possible. Talking about loss, grief, emotional pain and stress, with the right therapist who is non-judgmental will help you deal with these issues in a healthy way while feeling supported. You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and being a better you.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” (Carl Rodgers) We can’t change what we do not explore and the first step in the direction of that journey is always the hardest. But you are here already taking that step, looking for someone to assist with the change that you seek. Everyday life can be in the way of focusing on healing from our past, management of stress/mental health issues and making changes for our future. Setting aside time for yourself is important! You are important!

In a comfortable, non judgmental environment, you will discover the tools to navigate the sometimes stormy waters of life and make your relationships more fulfilling. I will be an active participant in the therapeutic process by giving you feedback and out of session assignments.

As a seasoned psychotherapist, I provide my clients with confidential therapy to assist them with managing the challenges they are facing.
