We construct our emotional world based on our past experience. What we attend to in the present, and what we expect in the future, is also based on our past experience. Our initial work is to understand our past and how it shapes our perceptions of challenges. As we learn how these perceptions came into existence, we then work toward making different choices in our interactions with others. In this manner we attain understanding and acceptance of our "self" and others.

Do you feel undeserving of your best life? Or carry a burden of shame from abuse as a child, and need help learning to love yourself? Therapy provides a healing path, and I will walk it with you. As kids we learn reading and math yet not how to handle troubling feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and shame. Psychotherapy teaches you how to love yourself. Relief comes as you drop harsh self-judgments that block moving from where you are now to where you want to be. You learn to discriminate between destructive self-criticism and positive self-correction.

I feel I am authentic, sensitive, warm, friendly, down-to-earth and, funny when appropriate. My inquisitive nature allows me to be a good listener. I take an approach of offering authority without being authoritarian. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to learn how to get more from life. By joining with a competent professional you can process those areas of your life that seem "stuck", overwhelming, or just bugging you. Part of our work involves learning to solve problems. We will stay focused on your goal(s) to make sure you achieve them.

Hi, I’m Beth (she, her), a social worker and therapist. I strive to create a safe, affirming, and motivating environment for my clients. I believe that the therapeutic relationship, which grows and transforms over time, is a fundamental aspect of effective therapy. My clients should expect warmth, compassion, curiosity, and candor.

Especially now and at times of overwhelming loss, trauma, and transition, I try to offer hope while also giving direction and practical tools around coping. Further, I strive to help you understand yourself more compassionately and work through blind spots that may be self-defeating and detrimental to getting along better with yourself as well as others. Within the session, safety is optimized while also maximizing the opportunity to work together at the highest possible level in order that goals are reached and that you are able to achieve the best possible outcome in terms of how you feel, act, and carry on your life.

We all go through times in our lives when we feel unsure of ourselves, discouraged, overwhelmed, or depressed. We all have anxieties. We also each have unique resources, strengths, and coping skills that we may draw on, reconfigure, and enhance. Therapy helps us to use those most effectively. Difficulties arise for us for many reasons, both private and public. Conditions in our communities and our political climate affect how we interact in our personal and professional relationships. Therapy can help us identify and choose among our alternatives to cope with new--or even with old--problems.

I have devoted my life to mastering the art of psychotherapy. Psychotherapy can use a wide variety of psychological treatments and techniques and is designed to help manage the pain, disappointment, sadness, hopelessness, and fear that come from work, relationships, and trying to move forward in our lives. Psychotherapy is also designed to help us to think more clearly about ourselves and people around us. As a result of successful psychotherapy, people go from feeling defined by their lives to creating a wide range of potentials and possibilities in the future.

Struggling to find your way in personal relationships or professional settings? Questioning where you want life to take you? Running into the same walls? Speaking with a therapist could provide a fresh perspective. Therapy can help you change the way you think and feel about your relationships and life; it can improve the way you manage difficult situations. I am an experienced, licensed professional. I take a collaborative approach. My training and expertise can help us understand and deal with a broad range of concerns including your relationships, loneliness, fears and anxieties, guilt and regrets, depression, bipolar and eating disorders.

Clients come to me with concerns, including anxiety, depression, family conflict, and struggles with intimacy. They feel stuck, angry with those around them, or caught in destructive patterns of behavior, yet they cannot seem to understand why. The relationship we build during treatment is a powerful tool to address these patterns that you feel unable to escape. Psychotherapy provides you space to safely explore these issues and work towards changing the patterns. I help my clients develop an appreciation for their life and work. Together we will explore the uncomfortable feelings and behaviors that prevent inner fulfillment, pursuit of goals, and overall life satisfaction.

Do you wake up with a sense of dread? Do you think you push people away at home or at the workplace? Would you like to feel better about your life? I help people problem solve in order to gain a sense of control over their lives. I encourage my clients to assess their own behaviors and consider changes that will lead to a more optimistic approach to their situation and a more positive view of themselves. Many of my clients are in the arts; they may feel stuck creatively and need help gaining a fresh perspective.

Hello,my name is Ludmilla Rubinov. I am the owner of a private NYC psychotherapy practice,as well as a psychotherapist with 15 years experience at St. Mark's Place Institute for Mental Health,NYC.

I treat individuals and couples using both short and long term treatment techniques. There is a writers' saying: 'How can I know what I think until I hear what I say?' This applies to psychotherapy as well. Talking about your problems and concerns with a trained, empathic listener is often the best way to discover both your issues and their solutions. I use a great deal of humor and compassion in my work. Psychotherapy is particularly helpful in working with relationships, career issues and ambivalence in choices.

I offer couples counseling and individual psychotherapy, and use a great deal of humor and compassion in my work. I work both psychoanalytically (seeking unconscious motivations) and cognitively, looking at present issues and challenges. This means that I utilize both short-term AND long-term therapeutic methodologies. I specialize in working with people who are depressed, anxious, suffering from sexual or relationship issues, daunted by the problems they face, or who find themselves creatively blocked, or not living up to their potential in their vocation, or who wish to guide their careers to new heights and new directions.

I help patients deal with blocks that prevent them having the best possible life and healthy, loving relationships. I use an empathetic, psychodynamic approach but also employ cognitive techniques - i.e. exercises during the session and homework. I want to help people notice and change their self-destructive patterns. I also help artists uncover the roots of their struggles with motivation and self-doubt.

It is sometimes difficult to know the direction one must take in life because of the influence of family, friends, and even strangers. Advice may be plentiful, but not helpful. I help by offering supportive and collaborative conversations so that you may find your own voice, use the skills and creativity that you have to survive life's challenges, transitions and relationships. I have made a commitment to work with individuals, and their families (when desired and available) to improve relationships, heal pains, and stregthen bonds.
