Therapists in New York, NY

"A healed you is there inside, waiting to be released from the past and ushered into a healthy reality." - Anonymous. Psychotherapy will provide you with the opportunity to heal emotionally, mentally and spiritually. As a therapist, I provide a supportive and empathic environment where it feels safe to explore the influence of the past on the present and to make changes in the here and now. Together we will understand the psychological and behavioral patterns of relating which are preventing you from moving forward into the life you were meant to live. You will learn to connect with yourself and others in new healthier ways.

I am a licensed therapist passionate about working with individuals dealing with addiction (or a family member’s addiction), anxiety, depression, and codependency. Do you struggle to feel content or whole without using something external (substances, relationships, food)? Do you have difficulties setting boundaries with others or practicing self-compassion? It can feel overwhelming to be vulnerable with another person in therapy and to let yourself truly be seen, but there can be freedom and connection from doing so. I create a non-judgmental space for you to strengthen your inner resources through awareness and self-acceptance.

As a therapist, I understand that life can be tough and that we all face different challenges at different times. That's where I come in. I have worked with both adults and adolescents on a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, codependency, and self-esteem. My ideal clients are people like you who are ready to make positive changes in their lives and are willing to put in the work to make it happen. If you're tired of feeling stuck, or overwhelmed, I'm here to help.

I'm a Jungian-oriented Board Certified Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor & Registered Art Therapist in the states of CT, IL, NY, PA, TX. I specialize in relationships, adult attachment anxiety, codependency, childhood trauma (emotional neglect, alcoholism, narcissistic parenting), and major life transitions (times in a person's life which call for deep self-evaluation). I use humor, empathy, and alternative methods of healing to help you find your own path in life! While life is at times a Tragi-Comedy, we can walk through the fire and free ourselves from the grips of anxiety, inner criticism and fear of loss.

My ideal client is an individual or family member who has a loved one who is using drugs or alcohol. The Family Recovery approach - healing from codependency, broken trust, strained relationships and communication problems - is a powerful evidence-based methodology that works. Through the recovery process, you will gain new perspective, learn a variety of coping skills, and find relief and freedom from the pain of living with addiction.

Therapy is a powerful tool in the process of inviting our most authentic selves to emerge. My approach is grounded in an integrative blend of Eastern and Western philosophies with the goal of fostering greater consciousness and connection between the mind, body, and spirit. I provide a compassionate and safe container to work towards healing past wounds while addressing present problems. Together, we will foster your capacity to be more present and effective, while nourishing your sense of fulfillment and joy in love, work, and community.

Hi. My Name is Laura Solomon. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing for 20 years. I also have a Master’s in Social Science and graduated from both the University of Albany and Binghamton University. I have worked with a wide range of clients including addiction, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, codependency, grief, and family issues to name a few. I believe in meeting people where they are at yet also healthily challenging them for growth purposes. I have worked with clients in person as well as virtually.

My hope for my clients is that the tools learned and experienced in the therapeutic space can be integrated into daily life to strengthen connections to self, others and the natural world. I have experience working with adults, marginalized populations, refugees, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. Areas of focus include grief & loss, multigenerational trauma, political/climate anxiety, academic/work related anxiety, major life transitions, codependency and attachment.

As a clinician, I treat adults struggling with mental health disorders. I use Solution Focused Therapy and a Strengths Based Perspective with clients to treat a multitude of clinical problems, such as: depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem, codependency, and relationship difficulties.

I am fascinated about how the brain works and how behavior can be adapted and changed if we allow it to happen.I support anxious and depressed people who truly desire to renewal their souls. Self-esteem, stress and conflict management, codependency, and parenting skills are some of the areas that rise my interest. I am specialized in blended and multicultural families. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.

Life experiences, both traumatic and seemingly ordinary, can leave us with no choice but to develop coping strategies that can be lifesaving in the moment but eventually lead us away from our inherent joy, curiosity, creativity, and connectedness. Therapy can help us heal. I specialize in relational work, including relational patterns that come from our families of origin, relationships with ourselves, with our friends, romantic partners, and children, as well as relationships with food and substances. My approach is eclectic, blending psychodynamic approaches with somatic interventions, IFS, CBT, DBT, and other modalities.

Sometimes, coping can become exhausting and dull. Maybe what you have been doing is not working anymore, or you are looking for a place to start. When you are overwhelmed with issues of anxiety, struggling in your interpersonal relationships, or with your own identity and sexuality, with no relief, it is time to try something different. I believe so much of the therapeutic process finds success through connection and self-awareness. I aim to co-create a comfortable and open space to explore these challenges and to honor and support you in your decision to prioritize your mental health.

I invite clients struggling with an array of issues from anxiety, codependency, addiction, and eating disorders to work with me. I am usually the best fit for people who are motivated and looking to make difficult changes in their life that they have struggled with managing on their own and need more support with. My goal is to help you shrink the gap between where you are and where you want to be. I gently challenge limiting beliefs, whether it is perfectionism or "not enoughness" that usually hold people back from being their most authentic/compassionate selves. My approach is softly assertive and active with clients!

Integrative counseling with a holistic health emphasis is effective for building greater awareness and self-acceptance, changing unsatisfying patterns and behaviors and developing the necessary skills to meet your goals. This approach assists you in understanding & reclaiming your true nature, encompassing the inherent qualities of happiness, well-being, presence and love. I work with clients struggling with life transitions and challenges, such as; career change, strengthening relationships, depression, anxiety, anger and stress management, codependency, addictions, parenting, separation and divorce, health concerns, etc . . .

My passion is working with clients who have sexual compulsive issues, sexual addictions, internet pornography, and their partners including partners of those who offend sexually. I provide a non judgmental, confidential, and safe environment for clients to explore the areas of their lives where they may struggle. I also specialize in working with clients who have substance abuse issues, dual diagnosis, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship concerns and codependency. I also assist clients with chronic pain and tinnitus. I am actively licensed in Florida, New York, and Tennessee and serve clients in those states.

I am licensed in FL, NY, IN, ID, and UT, a certified EMDR and Trauma-Focused CBT therapist, Addictions Professional, CFRC, and a TBHI Board Certified Telehealth Professional.

With over 15 years’ experience as a bilingual Psychotherapist working with very diverse populations from adults to adolescents who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD I learned that not everyone feels comfortable going to speak to a therapist in a traditional setting like an office. This is why I offer “Walk Talk Therapy” and mobile therapy. I want to eliminate as many barriers as possible for you to get the help you need. Just as we are all encouraged to exercise for our physical health, I believe everyone should connect with a professional therapist to strengthen one’s emotional health.

I am specialized in break-ups, self-esteem, codependency, emotional management, communication in relationships, self talk strategies and decision making skills training. Life is too short to constantly be at war with yourself. I have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Psychology and I have worked in Mental Health for 10 years. Through my career, I have helped more than 300 clients to change the direction of their lives in problems such as: -Break up/Divorce - Low Self-esteem -Communication in their Relationships - Codependency - Self Talk Strategies. I work only online, in English or Spanish.
