Therapists in Riverdale, NY

Listening is an art and a science. Speaking with trust to a professional in a private and confidential space. It's still the best medicine we have. We call it "the talking cure" because is a transformative experience. For this I provide a healthy and creative environment where all my patients can grow, relax, auto-reflex, think deeply and make the best decision of their life for themselves, their love's ones, for partners in a difficult relationship, their children, family as a whole and impact positively life itself and the world permanently.

I has been trained as a psychologist, anthropologist and social worker. Upon coming to NY I've been invested in working in different places and agencies. I've been exposed to most types of emotional/psychological symptoms and conditions that I was comfortable to treat. My main focus is psychological trauma and recovery. I also treat mood disorders, anxiety related disorders among others. I work with families, dyads, children, adults or couples as an Infant Mental Health Provider. Treating Panic Disorders and phobias have been effective as well. Life is worthy, let's find ways to enjoy it.

My goal is to guide clients through self-exploration, self-awareness and resilience building that transforms them into self-reliant individuals. I integrate psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), DBT, relational, and mindfulness-based techniques tailored to specific needs. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership explored within a safe, non-judgmental environment, working at a pace that is comfortable for the client; we can explore short or long-term counseling. Together, we can work towards resolving feelings of sadness, anxiety, and understanding maladaptive patterns, gaining insight to change problematic behaviors

I view therapy as a partnership designed to disentangle life’s complexities on the pathway to wholeness. For many clients this involves struggles with issues from their past, making sense of their emotions or dealing with one of life's many transitions. Others are in need of support around grief or working through relationship issues. My training as a former Diversity, Equity and Inclusion professional has taught me to view my clients through a multicultural lens that acknowledges and values all parts of their identity. As partners we will create adaptive coping strategies to bring clients into better alignment and fulfillment.

I specialize in working with couples, marriages, families, and I also provide individual therapy. I aim to increase healthier communication, understanding and on building a stronger connection, beginning from the first therapy session. I provide psychotherapy without judgement or blame, in a supportive, empathic and caring environment. I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, ages and sexual orientations. I look to empower people and to help them tap into their inner resources, aiming at aiding them in developing coping strategies to manage stressful situations, and to find solutions to their relational challenges.

I am a bilingual English/Spanish speaking Clinical Social Worker with experience in various settings. My practice supports adults, children, and families who experience stress and anxiety, depression, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & parenting issues. I use a trauma-informed perspective to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were 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. Footprints 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.

My approach to therapy is both warm and collaborative. I listen intuitively, and respect the client's expertise on the client's own experience. In therapy sessions, we are partners in identifying and building on your strengths. Together, we clarify your goals and clear away obstacles so you can move forward. I hold a master's degree from Bank Street College of Education in addition to my master's in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a certified ADHD clinical services provider.

Welcome to my practice. Reaching out and seeking help is a brave first step. I fully understand and appreciate how difficult seeking help is. For 19 years, I have been helping adults and adolescents face life difficulties. At times, these difficulties stem from life circumstances and at times they come from within but they almost always feel overwhelming. The good news, is that help is just a phone call away. I have helped people struggling with depression, anxiety, work and school difficulties, marital and relationships issues.

Often times support is needed to face the horizon ahead and to navigate the many challenges of everyday life.

Utilizing an eclectic and collaborative approach, incorporating family systems theory as well as interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral techniques, I seek not to pathologize, but to help you reach a better understanding of yourself and others so you can thrive and not just survive.
