Therapists in Chelsea, New York, NY

To others, or on paper, your life may look great, but you still feel unfulfilled. My clients are New Yorkers who want more, and often they feel uncomfortable sharing these insecurities with family or friends. Whether you are experiencing career challenges, struggling with family issues, or spending hours fruitlessly swiping on dating apps, you know you need to break the cycle. I provide a safe, empathetic space and a solutions-based approach to explore areas of concern. I also work with clients to identify the issues underlying a feeling of general malaise. Sometimes we just don’t know what we don’t know.

I have been working in private practice for the last ten years. A common type of client I see is someone who did quite well academically as a student and faces challenges when it comes to the more nebulous and messy arenas of adult life, particularly in careers and relationships. Oftentimes, the questions and choices one faces with no clear roadmap can feel overwhelming and isolating. I specialize in areas such as dating, attachment issues, polyamory, struggling with a break-up/divorce, infidelity, boundary setting with loved ones, job stress and confusion around career path, sexual identity, and generalized anxiety and depression.

An effective therapist can help you overcome difficulties and enhance your life. My name is Asya Rivinson, and I am a psychotherapist licensed in NJ and NY. Currently I have my private practice in Springfield, NJ, and in Manhattan but my experience of working in different countries helps me to connect with clients of various backgrounds and values. My work as a therapist for over a decade developed both my skills and my faith in the value of therapy. In my work, I am supportive, insight-oriented, professional and knowledgeable.

I am an expert at helping people change how they think, feel and behave. I help people find ways to motivate themselves to change and ways to stay on track once they begin. My specialty is addictions, but I see clients with many different kinds of problems, for example, relationship problems, depression, anxiety and procrastination. I help people figure out what they want to do and then how to go about doing it. My recent book, Am I Addicted? 64 Questions and Answers to Help You Change an Addictive or Semi-Addictive Behavior (available on Amazon) outlines techniques to help people feel and do better next week and next year.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than twenty-five years of experience. I received my doctorate from Rutgers and then went on to receive a postdoctorate certificate in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis from NYU. I view therapy as a collaborative process, one in which the client and I work together to find out what they want to get out of life and, more importantly, what is getting in the way of the achievement of these goals. I use a combination of techniques (psychodynamic, object-relations, cognitive-behavioral) to help best serve my clients.

If you and your partner are finding it hard to communicate and having the same fight over and over again, I can help. I work with couples to figure out their patterns, negative cycles and behaviors that are difficult for them to see on their own. I work with couples to identify triggers and work on deeper issues that are blocking the ability to create a nurturing relationship filled with empathy and compassion. You will gain new perspectives on yourself and your partner, resulting in growth and deeper connection.

I work with adolescents and adults with an emphasis on achieving a quiet, relaxed and joyful state of mind to help with a variety of mental health challenges. My mission as a therapist is to help you overcome the limitations created by issues such as anxiety and depression so that you can feel like yourself again and can go on to lead the happy, successful and unburdened life that you're meant to have.

We will focus on your strengths to develop healthy coping skills and problem-solving methods as lifelong tools. You are the expert of your own experiences, I use this philosophy to help clients achieve their goals.   My practice uses a strengths-based approach to work through challenges. I aim to help individuals develop and achieve goals that lead to empowerment and a life of fulfillment. If you are struggling with issues that impede your growth, please allow me to join you on your journey. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, which places a high value on helping clients understand their process.

Everyone’s journey to therapy is unique. You may feel overwhelmed by the world around you. People in your life may have expressed concern over patterns in your behavior. Or, perhaps you’re bottling up feelings of anxiousness, depression, anger, loneliness, numbness, or dissatisfaction. These are all valid reasons to seek out therapy, and that is where I can help.

I want to help you gain a greater sense of control over difficult thoughts and feelings. Clients often begin therapy requesting concrete tools to walk away with from each session. This is something I offer through through my enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, with a dual focus on techniques for altering unhealthy thoughts and behavior, and for improving insight, awareness, and mindfulness. I have a long track record of creating powerful results for my clients.

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.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist experienced in dealing with a range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and identity concerns. I am comfortable working with adults from all backgrounds, and I specialize working with artists and professionals at various stages in life. I take an integrative approach to therapy, providing coping strategies and empowering the individual to change the negative patterns impacting their life. For some, this means short-term work focused on specific goals and symptoms. For others, this means a deeper exploration of the self with the goal of achieving physical, cognitive, emotional and spiritual freedom.

My primary goal as your therapist is to help you navigate challenges through a non-judgmental, collaborative and client-centered relationship. As an Afro-Latina female clinician, one of my passions is to serve people in my community and to help them find meaning in their lives. I employ an integrative approach to therapy to meet individual needs. This means that I integrate various techniques from several modalities to meet you where you are and help you achieve deep healing. The approaches that I use most often are Psychodynamic, Narrative therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

My clients want to improve mood, self-esteem, relationships, sleeping habits, etc., and come to realize that something happens within the client/therapist relationship that does not happen alone. My typical client shows improvement within a few months, and then eventually meets with me less frequently (for 'tune-ups'). And, my clients sometimes return to sessions with me after leaving therapy, if things begin to go awry.
