Therapists in Harlem, New York, NY

Navigating diverse health challenges, my sanctuary is for those facing ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, or OUD. Uniquely, I offer medication management, a service rare among Psychology Today providers. Whether you seek comprehensive care tailored to your needs or specialized guidance, here, personalization is key. Clients find a blend of empathy, trust, and acknowledgment of their uniqueness. Balancing scientific expertise with compassion, I’m committed to guiding you through your health journey, ensuring your care is as individual as you are.

I believe in utilizing psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, my practice also focuses on changing the neural pathways that can become distorted when we experience trauma. With the help of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we can work to heal childhood trauma, adult PTSD, and distorted thinking that limits joy and growth in your life. Additionally, I have experience with supporting clients with cognitive integration after a psychedelic treatment. I can support you in taking control of both your body and mind.

I am an eclectic psychotherapist who offers a safe space grounded in empathy and understanding. I fully believe that you are the author of your story and you get to create the narrative to your life. I am trained in numerous modalities and interventions, but I use a personalized therapeutic style that best fits your needs.

Life’s journey features many complex and dynamic processes. How we come to learn about ourselves and understand life around us is key in how we experience it. It is my belief that self-care with the purpose of healing and self discovery can radically improve our experience navigating everyday life and have powerful impacts in the world around us. Informed by principles of social justice and anti-oppression, I offer a space to work with you as an individual in context of communities that you are a part of and are important to you. My practice integrates psychodynamic, cognitive and mindfulness techniques.

As a native New Yorker, born and raised on Long Island, living in the city for the last 10 years, I have been connected to the people who choose to live here. A bustling city where, as Frank Sinatra said so well, "if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere". I believe this to be true and I believe it to be easier with the work of psychology.

Therapy is all about helping clients in a way that makes sense for them - it's a mutually agreed upon experience that can be interactive and playful. Going to therapy doesn't mean something is "wrong," and doesn't even have to be about making changes or setting goals. It can be as simple and positive as sitting with a stranger, being heard and gaining insight. My style is eclectic and tailored to my clients' particular needs. I draw on a multitude of influences, primarily psychodynamic, interpersonal and relational.

The goal of my therapeutic practice is to create an analytic and intuitive space to help you work on exploring and resolving your unconscious thoughts and conflicts that might be the basis of your mental distress. Fostering deeper acceptance and understanding of your unconscious thoughts and wishes can provide relief from depression, alleviate anxiety, and improve interpersonal relationships. I have empathy, openness, and an eye for psychodynamics that allows this space to be recreated each week throughout our therapeutic relationship.

Navigating life’s challenges can leave us feeling unsure of how to move forward, or that we are not our best selves, or that we are not living in a way we want to be living. Each of our paths through life are different, and each of our challenges are different. Some of us have challenges at work or at home that we aren't handling well. For some, past experiences can complicate how we live our current lives.
