Therapists in New York, NY

KRISTINEDANBACKPHD.COM I am the owner of Random Thoughts Psychological Therapy. A clinical psychologist/therapist in NY-CT, divorce coach/mediator, expert witness, and offer co-parenting, focusing on high conflict divorces/relationships. Our work will strengthen your resilience, ability to cope and adjust. Areas of focus are: narcissistic abuse, parenting, betrayal & loss. Psychotherapy allows for gaining awareness of how your history, biology, and emotions came together to create who you are, as well as, learning how to regulate your emotions, to have a healthier and more fulfilling life, work and love.

I have a unique, interdisciplinary background as a seasoned and compassionate holistic psychotherapist (individual, couples, family), divorce/family mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach. I view and treat patients as whole people, integrating Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, wellness, and Buddhist principles into a tailored holistic approach. Together, these approaches help patients understand and change how their thoughts and emotions impact their behavior. As a mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach, I am committed to helping people avoid court and resolve their differences sensibly and compassionately. I am passionate about minimizing the negative effects of divorce and separation by fostering effective coparenting.

People who come to me for therapy find a pragmatic clinician who responds actively and efficiently to urgent problems and symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and bereavement. I quickly identify and address how present day stressors are affecting my patients' relationships at work and at home. My admiration for people’s strength and resilience guides my work. I believe a good therapist should be a loyal ally, an advocate for a person’s best self, and a compassionate believer in human dignity and capacity for change. My style is warm. My personality is direct.

Is your relationship in trouble? Do you want to be better understood and better understand your partner, but don't know how? Have the ups and downs of life caused conflict or distance between you? Are the stresses of day to day life taking their toll on your family's relationship? Are you and/or your children going through divorce or loss? Everyone needs help sometimes- we are hard-wired to need connection. When we are feeling isolated or unseen, our day to day life feels emptier and our mental and physical health pay the price.

You try your best to get along with everyone. But lately, it’s been difficult. You're upset about all the disagreements with your husband/wife/ significant other. You don’t feel heard. You find yourself lashing out at your kids. Bickering with your long-term partner. Thinking about divorce. Angry at your parents. Strained relations with your adult child. Disappointed by friends. You feel misunderstood. Hurt. Confused. You may feel stuck in depression or anxiety. Low energy. Stressed out. Every day is so overwhelming and exhausting. How can you dig yourself out of this rut? Therapy can help…

I am committed to working collaboratively to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. Always using a trauma-informed approach, I bring my years of experience in the healthcare setting and in oncology support services to help clients find hope and meaning in the face of a crisis. Whether managing a life transition or serious illness, mourning the loss of a loved one, or processing the end of a relationship, my training supports individuals managing a range of stressors and losses. I have support group facilitation experience with bereavement, cancer and divorce.

It takes courage to tell your story, be vulnerable, and practice introspection. But as the old saying goes, “a problem shared is a problem halved.” Whether you’re experiencing challenges in your relationships, family, career, health, or questioning your life path, we’ll work together to find a solution. I’m a Counselor and Life Coach who supports people during life transitions—including marriage, divorce, career changes, motherhood, and grief and loss. Whatever you’re going through, I’ll be a compassionate listener who reframes the situation and so you can see it in a different, more positive, light.

Our cultural emphasis on paid work identity has led to some of us getting stuck continually striving for “more” and feeling starved in other areas like meaning making, community, spirituality and connection. My life experience with trauma, addiction and LGBTQ+ concerns make this work personal for me. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex-positive, inclusive of all identities and enjoy working with clients in every life stage. My professional and personal experiences allow me to have deep empathy for those who are facing major life challenges such as trauma, substance misuse, divorce, career change, chronic health issues and loss.

.Welcome! I am truly passionate about collaborating with you as we explore ways to find your authentic self and heal all of the old wounds and patterns that have stood or continue to stand in the way of your personal success as an individual, couple or family member. Are you and/or your current relationship challenged with issues of infidelity/"sexting"/virtual flirting via social networks or have you entered into the shame/blame game causing you and your partner to drift apart?

Trying to find a therapist can be daunting. My approach is empathic, genuine, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive and collaborative. I have 20+ years of clinical experience and am trained to work with individuals and groups of all ages and backgrounds. I also teach post-master's level clinicians and licensed mental health practitioners of various professions, including at the Psychoanalytic Institute affiliated with NYU School of Medicine, where I am a faculty member and completed post-master's training in adult psychoanalysis.

We all experience difficult times in our lives. Many of us struggle to maintain healthy relationships with our partners/friends/family or struggle to manage stress or know how to navigate life stage transitions (parenthood, breakups/divorce, retirement, illness, etc). Whether you want to strengthen your self-worth and confidence, improve communication or intimacy in relationships, slow down reactivity, or stop repeating self-destructive cycles, therapy is a space to gain insight and skills to help break patterns that hinder your life satisfaction. Therapy offers you the possibility to create the change you are looking for

I have over 30 years of experience treating people coping with life changes. These include issues around relationships, loss, loneliness, parenting, divorce, job change, caring for a loved one, chronic illness, and sleep disorders. I work with clients to guide them in identifying new purpose, managing anxieties and depression, and to support them in achieving personal balance.

As a therapist and coach, I offer a safe, supportive space for my clients to explore, grow awareness, and make decisions about the way they choose to approach and live their lives. People often reach out when they are at a crossroads with career or relationship issues, and they are experiencing emotions that feel overwhelming like anxiety or depression. I partner with my clients to provide empathetic, active listening as well as focus on skill development. Through our work together, clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, where they came from, and the impact the past has on who they are in the present moment.

Jenna Shnayerson, LMSW, is a licensed social worker and a skilled member of the clinical team at Rappore. She earned her Master’s in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College with a focus on providing high-quality, culturally inclusive clinical support. Jenna has experience working with a diverse population of clients, helping adults and older adults manage grief, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, and navigating challenging life transitions (e.g., divorce, the death of a loved one, retirement, etc.). She also has clinical family therapy experience.

I view challenges as opportunities for unprecedented growth, development, and enlightenment. As life twists and turns, it's easy to become disconnected from the things that matter most, even the most meaningful aspects of yourself. My approach to therapy is individualized and integrative, I work with you to learn who you are, why you suffer, and where your resilience lies. With this insight, you'll find freedom from regrets of the past, demands and conflicts of the present, and fear of the future. Together we'll draw upon your strengths and help you move through life with a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and authenticity.

I work with individuals dealing with life challenges. Issues related to grief, illness, divorce, and its impact on children and the family. In addition, concurrent anxieties, and doubts and challenges coping with family loss and trauma. At times of stress, we will work to support your daily interactions and your inner thoughts to become easier. I have worked with people of all ages, helping them to find greater understanding and alleviate burdens in daily life. My goal is to support the issues you share with me and help you get back to regular life, outside of therapy.

Therapy begins within a trusted, emotional connection where your unique story can truly be heard. I'm dedicated to helping you sort out your feelings and circumstances, to examine difficult relationships. I will teach you effective coping skills, strategies to better handle stress and distress. We will utilize new tools to address problem behavior patterns, unhealthy relationships and to problem solve. I utilize a nuanced, crafted combination of evidenced-based therapies: Mindfulness, Supportive, Relational, Psychodynamic, Motivational, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Modern Analytic and Family Treatments.

Life gives us challenges. These challenges can include anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, or just feeling stuck in life. However, we do not have to face these challenges alone. Through collaboration, we together can create an individualized and comprehensive plan to help you create an identity of your own, integrate positive practices into your daily interactions, and grow to live a happy and healthy life. email address:hcohn144@aol.com 917 414 7949 Mailing address United States P.O.
