Therapists in West Harrison, NY

I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and sex therapist offering both virtual and in-person psychotherapy and sex therapy sessions. I work from a collaborative, strengths-based, person-centered perspective and specialize in providing a safe, sex-positive space for individuals of all genders and sexual orientations. My style is warm, nonjudgemental, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and grounded in body liberation.

I work with people who want to be happy, feel confident, and thrive in their lives. Folks often come to see me when feeling numb, anxious, or insecure. In working together, we would focus on developing an understanding of what you'd like your life to look like, and creating a plan to make it a reality. My therapeutic approach stems from a relational framework and considers how every individual's identities and social environments shapes their beliefs, values, and experiences.

Therapy is going to the gym for your emotional and relational well-being, so I give you a ton of credit for being here, exploring how to get in shape! Throughout my work, I have developed a style that is warm, direct, and actively challenges you to evolve. I have a tremendous working knowledge of evidence-based models, including CBT, DBT, MST, and ACT, as well as psychodynamic theory and the Gottman Method. My commitment to staying updated on current research and utilizing evidence-based models is a testament to my resolve to deliver therapy that actually works to help you meet your goals and experience relief.

Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Rize-Up Together began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

I love to learn and continue to attend trainings in many different therapeutic techniques and strategies. I believe that therapy should be individualized and truly believe that the therapeutic relationship itself will foster the greatest results. My true passion is giving individuals the tools they need to better manage all of the different roles they play in their own lives. Depending upon the client, I tend to use mostly DBT and CBT related therapeutic techniques.

Finding the right fit for a therapist is so important. You want someone you can trust, open up to about things you would never tell family or friends, and someone who can offer you some useful strategies and feedback. I am an interactive therapist. This means, I will not just sit there and have you talk for 50 minutes without any interactive feedback. Being an interactive therapist, we are having a conversation so there is give and take. I will ask you questions and perspective about what is going on for you that maybe you didn’t think about before. Collaboration is huge! I am not the expert on you. You are.

Everyone sees you as successful and put-together. Inside, you’re terrified of failing, disappointing people, or being seen as not good enough. You struggle to feel fulfilled.

I practice Holistic Psychology and am passionate about making evidence-based therapeutic practices accessible. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and strengths-based. My approach is grounded in scientifically-backed methods with specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). I see clients of all ages ranging from young childhood through adulthood, including families and couples.

Psychotherapy is, most honestly, a very remarkable and often surprising kind of 'conversation.' The distinction being that when we have a 'conversation,' we only know where it will begin, but not where it will end. The 'getting there,' the movement toward 'the end,' is often a thought-provoking, pleasurable, funny, sad, profound experience that changes people in wholly positive ways. When therapist and patient develop a good working relationship, transformative things can happen. My work centers around creating a serious, useful, and private space to begin exploring the depths of what causes you to suffer, or feel misunderstood.

Finding a new therapist can be overwhelming. My goal is to provide my clients with a safe and supportive space as we explore how you can find greater peace and clarity. If you're feeling stuck, anxious, or unhappy with certain areas of your life, I can help you examine what is causing those feelings so you can gain greater insight and overcome patterns that may be holding you back.

A Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with couples, I do premarital counseling for anxiety and fear of commitment, communication when intimacy has gone. Infidelity: forgiving is possible. Divorce, remarriage, and step-parenting. I work with life's transitions, partners being on different timelines regarding parenthood, depression, anxiety, challenges of being single in a couples world, changes in career or breaks in relationships, romantic or familial. I am interactive, empathetic. My goal: connect you with your inner strengths, build up your self-esteem, and move towards the next steps of your lives.

I provide client centered motivational interviewing. Due to our current state of affairs, I am also supporting individuals struggling with isolation and medical concerns due to pandemic, as well as emerging from this crisis. I have extensive experience with family/adolescent, LGBTQIA+, HIV, geriatric population, drug treatment, sex/food addiction, formally incarcerated/legally involved, and life-coaching and long-term counseling. Excellent engagement skills and outcomes. In field for 20 years. Providing in/out of home counseling, as well as telehealth services. I am a highly supportive, working with and towards your unique goals.

Many of my clients relate to the experience of feeling "othered", different or as existing outside of culturally-constructed margins. In our increasingly isolationist world, feeling different or other is becoming a common experience. While many things may remind us of our difference, or "non-normativity", in therapy I aim to collaboratively uncover and identify the worth and purpose that I believe exist in all humxn beings. I believe that all concerns, struggles, challenges, curiosities and explorations brought to therapy are related to relationships--the relationship we have with ourselves and other people. Often, clients express a need for deep connection and goals involve enhancing relationships, identifying emotions, coping more effectively with emotions, and nourishing self-worth and confidence. Research on therapeutic effectiveness has repeatedly demonstrated that therapeutic relationship is the principle determinant of positive therapeutic outcome. Thus, when I first meet clients, client-therapist relationship and chemistry is the primary emphasis and catalyst for change.
