Couples Counseling Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in the U.S., Japan and Europe. I provide psychotherapy for adults who experience relationship issues, difficulty coping after a stressful event and life transitions. I draw from relational, insight-oriented, cognitive and trauma-focused approaches and am committed to creating a safe, supportive and collaborative environment.

Having trouble finding, maintaining a relationship? Do you struggle with emotional eating and body image/self-esteem? See me quoted in New York Post, "Is This The Most Dangerous Diet Ever?" by Doree Lewak. Are you pulling your hair out? Trouble sleeping? Feeling stuck, hopeless? I'll help you get what you want sooner, using a variety of techniques to overcome your problems. It may be scary to reach out for help, but it's so much better than continuing down the same unsatisfying path. I listen actively and respond immediately to your concerns with warmth, understanding, and practical suggestions.

I offer an affirming and non-judgmental safe space where collaboration and empowerment are central to the therapeutic process. Using integrative and holistic methods, we will work at a pace that is most comfortable for you to reflect, heal, and be heard. Although my professional and personal experience regarding LGBTQNB, poly/CNM, kink/BDSM, SW, and POC communities inform my practice, I understand the importance of recognizing and acknowledging individuality and personal experience in all its forms.

We all go through challenging times in our lives no matter how old we are. Some people choose to deal with those challenges on their own and some make the choice to share their thoughts, concerns, pain, anger, frustrations with someone who can help them go through resolution of their conflicts. Being in treatment can change profoundly someone’s life only if one wishes and wants to do that.

Christina Bradley, MS.Ed., DBT, CBT, REBT is an experienced mental health professional determined to be a service to people of all ages and backgrounds looking to improve their quality of life. While we will explore and understand the past, we will definitely move forward as a team. I specialize in individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, addiction/substance use, grief, enhancing interpersonal skills/coping skills, career direction, and conflict resolution.

People often come to therapy feeling a need to fix or change some troubling aspect of themselves. What can be surprising, however, is that the therapeutic process may begin as a journey of self-acceptance rather than fixing or changing. Most of us have not been fortunate enough to have people in our lives who can listen without judgement or agenda. That is my job as your therapist. By truly listening, I will learn what the world looks like through your eyes and this understanding of your inner world will help me guide you through the challenging journey of self-acceptance as the gateway to personal transformation.

My treatment approach is collaborative, informed by psychodynamic, experiential, and cognitive-behavioral theories to strengthen your coping skills and work towards symptom relief. Deciding to seek psychotherapy is not an easy decision, thus I commend you for taking this step. I am here to help you define and better understand your life, relationships, difficulties, and goals. Together we can make a difference.

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children through adults. I have extensive clinical experience and am an expert Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I’ve been trained by top therapy institutes, am a board member for well accomplished CBT organizations, and run the official podcast for the national CBT organization. I strive to regularly advance my knowledge and provide leading scientific treatments. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, trauma, stress, insomnia, ADHD, defiance, and work/school issues. Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

Having taught, supervised psychotherapy and treated patients for 40 years, including consulting for a substantial number of top tier businesses in the New York, I have a developed an understanding of what helps people grow and transform their lives. I believe that people should be spoken to truthfully about the pain in their lives but with kindness and empathy as essential to enable processing.

Whether you are dealing with family stress, parenting challenges, career decisions, relationship issues, or simply wondering what is next for you, I am here to help you feel more in control of your life, your goals and your aspirations.

I am a licensed psychoanalyst, and I have the training to get to the root of your problems. I was required to undergo my own psychotherapy before I could be licensed. I have helped all kinds of clients who came with a variety of problems involving depression, anxiety, relationship and job conflicts, addictions, and the like. I have also done my homework, researching and authoring 15 books on psychology and 30 books in all. My latest, LIZZIE, is an acclaimed novel about Lizzie Borden. I have 50 years of experience that I can apply to helping you. You can read about me on my website: drschoenewolf.com.

The parts of ourselves that we struggle with are sometimes our greatest assets. Therapy can be a place to better realize our strengths and identify where long-term patterns of narratives and behaviors are no longer serving us. I am passionate about working with LGBTQ and POC on topics such as: gender/sexual identity, anxiety, depression, OCD, acculturation, racial identity, social skills, and relationships. My therapeutic approach incorporates both systemic and relational pieces. We do not exist in a vacuum. All of our experiences shape the person we are today.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck, unseen, or disconnected? Have these feelings intensified after 2+ years of pandemic? Are you wanting more from your relationships and your work? Do things like creativity and embodiment feel elusive and out of reach? Or are you a performer or achiever who is often put on a pedestal by those around you, idolized yet at a distance from the kind of care you actually want?

Do you wonder, despite all the outward signs of a successful life, why you aren't happier or more fulfilled? Perhaps you're frustrated or anxious about work, making it difficult to be around other people or find enjoyment. Or you're unsure about the job or relationship you've ended up in. You may find yourself sleeping less, eating more, or feeling increasingly "stuck."

We develop relationship patterns early in our lives and repeat important aspects of them going forward. Many of the obstacles that emerge in our efforts to achieve our goals and make fulfilling lives for ourselves follow on our unwitting repetition of these patterns. They made sense then, but impede you now. My approach to therapy will involve getting to know you in some depth, in order to use the relationship we create to identify these patterns and allow you to more consciously shape your life.

It's not easy to find a therapist so I hope that what I tell you about me and the way I work will make it easier. I help people resolve anxiety and depression, particularly in the context of LGBTQ issues, problematic governmental leadership, pandemic related anxiety/isolation, self-esteem, body-image, creative blocks, sexual/relational difficulties. I'm down to earth, easy to talk to, non-judgmental and interactive. I work to minimize and overcome the shame and self-blame people frequently feel. All backgrounds/lifestyles are welcome. I create a safe environment for individuals and couples. Skype and phone sessions available.

I love working with individuals and couples who want to bring meaning into their life and find satisfaction in spite of adversity and misfortune. I bring a spirit of optimism and a confidence in people's ability to learn and grow. My professional training in Clinical Social Work only enhanced my natural, easy way of connecting with people. I have been practicing psychotherapy in New York City since 1980 after receiving my B.S.W. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and my Master's degree at Carleton School of Social Work in Ottawa, Canada.

I am a clinical psychologist providing therapy and assessment services in Scarsdale and Greenwich. I treat various conditions, such as depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, social anxiety, and school/work issues. I also focus on life transitions, whether that be a recent move, transition from college, changes in family dynamics, or changes in significant relationships. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in conducting psychological assessments. Therapeutically, I focus on developing teens and adults, where as I provide assessments for all ages.
