Perhaps you've been in therapy before or you're just starting for the first time--starting can be so hard. You need to find someone where you can feel safe and comfortable. You wish to be happy, but some patterns may be holding you back from the life you want to lead. Maybe some aspects of your life are fulfilling and successful, but something still feels off. The way that you've been approaching life and relationships isn't working anymore-- you're ready to begin to learn & uncover new resources, ways of being and feel empowered making choices & decisions.

I believe in the the co-created experience of therapy between therapist and client. I have significant training and experience with a range of therapeutic models including Narrative therapy, Trauma-informed care, Solution-focused therapy, etc. I believe people at times come to therapy when parts of life are not feeling in line with desires/intentions for how they want their experience to be. I believe in the power and safety of therapeutic conversations to acknowledge and witness problems affecting clients (children, individuals, couples, families, etc) and together explore new possibilities which fit the person/couple/family.

I believe that happiness is available to everyone, but sometimes we are taken off the path of our true happiness - we loose our way. That way is often through relationships - beginning with the relationship with oneself.

I'm a Licensed Psychoanalyst and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist. I have extensive experience working with people coping with depression, PTSD, relationship issues, anxiety and career concerns. I'm also trained as a Psychedelic Integration Psychotherapist which is a specifically focused treatment designed to create meaningful, desirable and durable lifestyle changes.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, certified Gestalt therapist, and a visiting faculty at a post-graduate psychotherapy training institute. I practice from a body-oriented relational and culturally sensitive approach, specializing in working with survivors of dysfunctional upbringing, acute and chronic trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Seeking therapy can be an intimidating and overwhelming process. From acknowledging that you would like more support to searching for the right therapist for you, it takes time, effort, and courage to face your challenges and risk vulnerability. That is why I aim to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you experience trust, safety, and comfort to bring your authentic self into the room. To be vulnerable and open as your true self without fear of judgment is to move towards freedom and expansion.

My psychotherapy practice is dedicated to helping people overcome difficulties in managing troubling emotions, dysfunctional behaviors, or problems in career, relationship, or life transition. Working primarily in short-term cognitive behavioral models, trouble areas are defined and broken down. Clients are actively encouraged to collaborate on developing new, healthier perspectives, and to generate and practice effective coping strategies and skills. Foundations in psychodynamic and developmental theory, neuroscience, as well as eastern philosophy and mindfulness practice often inform and shape the course of work.

Nadine Burgos, LCSW, MS.Ed has dedicated the past 13 years combining education with supportive counseling interventions for diverse populations. Her therapeutic and multi-cultural competencies are tailored to meet specific needs of clients who struggle with: anxiety/stress, depression, panic attacks, interpersonal relationships, work/life balance, and low self-esteem.

Using a harm reduction framework, I support those involved in behaviors they are worried about to make self- activated changes that feel right for them rather than pushing any fixed agenda. A basic goal of my work is to provide a safe, supportive, caring environment that can foster comfort so my clients can take risks and make lasting changes.

Do anxiety or depression interfere with your ability to enjoy life? Do you have difficulty managing feelings? Is it hard to know what you really want? Do you engage in fruitless conflicts? Do you engage in behaviors that are not good for you? Have you suffered from trauma or childhood abuse? Are you isolated? Are you alone in how you perceive things? Are you a concerned parent of a child with troubles? Whether you have an immediate problem you want to resolve quickly, or long standing issues , I have helped patients for over 25 years with these sorts of difficulties.

I am a licensed psychologist who provides psychotherapy to adults and couples. I aim to create a warm, supportive, and contemplative space for self-exploration, to help bring into awareness and transform patterns that are getting in the way of living a full and satisfying life. By exploring the underlying causes of suffering, and becoming curious about one's own mind, greater freedom becomes possible. I see this process as a dialogue in which I take an active and engaged role, asking questions and offering ideas.

My name is Scott Graybow. I am a psychotherapist with over 14 years of clinical experience and extensive post-graduate training. I welcome the opportunity to help you work on the issues that bring you to therapy. I understand therapy to be a cooperative effort in which we work together to help you engage with your mind, your environment, and your relationships. Therapy is pragmatic yet deeply meaningful; we simultaneously focus on immediate problems and opportunities for long-term growth. Throughout our work together, I strive to offer help that resonates with your individual needs and preferences.

If you are thinking of calling me, it is because of at least one of these reasons: you have unsuccessfully dedicated considerable energy and time to solving your anxiety, your fears, your obsessions, your losses and trauma, your sadness, your failures in your relationships or in your productivity; you have become tired of repeating the same mistakes and behaviors, and have not been able to change; you have been rejected, you have experienced not being loved, understood, taken in your uniqueness; or you have not done all that you wish to be more courageous, creative, to be more as a person.

Currently accepting new clients! As a licensed clinical therapist with experience working with individuals, families and children, I am very aware of the many challenges we face at different stages throughout our lives. Are you currently feeling stuck, isolated and overwhelmed about how to begin facing and overcoming these challenges? You no longer have to feel alone in this process. In therapy, I will work to facilitate personal growth by creating a safe space and providing empathy, support, and feedback to empower you to feel confident in reaching and achieving your goals.

I am a Clinical Psychologist in New York, NYU faculty, with a Post-Doctoral degree in couples therapy and training in group therapy. Specializing in couples, individuals, and people's affinities for others, I find that relationships can be wonderful. They can also provide a platform for people to both learn about (and get into trouble with !) themselves and those they love. I work with couples, individual adults & groups to relate to time in the following ways: acknowledge the past, focus on the present, and consider the future. This sounds easier to do than it actually is to practice. So many difficult things in life are like that.
