Dual Diagnosis Therapists in 10003

i specialize in teens and adults who are trying to get to the bottom of their feelings and try to figure things out. I’m objective, non-judge mental and try to tell it like I see it; not always how you may see it or even want to see it. I specialize in anger management, passive-aggression, couples therapy, addiction and depression/anxiety.

Welcome, and congratulations on taking this courageous step towards connecting with a therapist. In my practice, I offer individual and couples counseling. My approach is empathic, respectful, honest, and collaborative. Together, we will pay attention to past experiences, including family dynamics, as well as work on practical, realistic approaches to dealing with today. I have found that people are more resilient than they think. I work to help you harness that strength and regain hope.

Hello! I'm Jessica, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working in New York State. I specialize in working with adults with a range of concerns from serious mental health diagnoses to addiction, to anxiety and relationship concerns. I typically work with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, and/or PTSD. I'm happy to discuss diagnoses and conditions not listed as well. I work with individuals of all gender identities, as well as everyone across the LGBTIQA+ spectrum.

Seeking support through therapy is a courageous act that shows your desire to grow. I support my clients in finding healthy ways to deal with life's difficulties without the use of self-destructive behaviors. I currently have offices in Garden City and Manhattan.

Welcome to my practice! I am a Licensed Psychologist with more than 10 years of experience, specializing in recovery from anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. I feel that change is possible once you have felt understood and have a way of making sense of problematic behaviors occurring in your life. I believe suffering is a normal response to abnormal situations and work with you to bring this to light so you can change coping responses that no longer work for you. I incorporate cultural humility, seeking to honor all aspects of identity that contribute to your life. I provide sessions in English or Spanish.

Everyone has times in their lives where they feel lost, overwhelmed, or confused. Feeling truly heard and understood can be invaluable in overcoming these obstacles. As a therapist, my job is to guide you through the process of becoming your best self. I do this with kindness and humor, acknowledging that one of the most helpful part of therapy is the relationship that you and I develop.

I blend 25 years of years of experience and training with psychodynamic, somatic (mind/body integration), gestalt and the expressive arts, to work with individuals, couples and families and specialize in relationships, anxiety disorders, addiction, life/career transitions, PTSD and developmental trauma.My training in Somatic Experiencing enables me to address trauma at its bodily source -an inside out approach that cognitive approaches can’t access. My belief in our human drive for wholeness extends to my extensive work with individuals and families impacted by addiction, a fundamental disconnect of mind, body and spirit.

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons: struggles with anxiety or depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, loss, life changes and others. Feeling "stuck" is a common and often painful experience. I can help you uncover patterns in thinking, behaving and relating that have become problematic. Therapy can be challenging but with great potential gains. The result is a deepened self-awareness and the capacity to make choices consistent with your needs and goals. You can build satisfying relationships, end self-defeating behaviors and better manage life's inevitable stressors.

Each of us has an inner resilience. Sometimes we need support to work through a struggle to realize what our strengths are and how we can tap into them, along with additional coping tools, to live a more comfortable and fulfilling life. For me, therapy is a partnership that meets us where we are and provides a warm, affirmative environment for growth and exploration.

I have over 15 years of experience counseling children, adolescents, families and groups, both in the US and the UK. I am British and after being educated at Oxford University I worked in various professions before coming to New York to further my education and continue my therapy practice. My philosophy is that we all have the potential to improve our lives. With collaboration and support my clients develop strengths to help overcome difficult and stressful thoughts and feelings and to achieve meaningful and lasting change.

My dedication lies in empowering individuals to navigate their mental health journey with resilience and self-discovery. I am a therapist passionate about guiding my clients on a journey of soulful nourishment. For me, therapy is more than a process; it's an opportunity to explore, connect, and deeply heal. In sessions, I offer more than just therapeutic techniques; it's an invitation to explore the depths of your being, connect with your inner self, and embark on a profound journey.

I strongly believe that one of the most challenging things for one to do in life, is to reach out and ask for help. With this in mind, I believe in fostering a safe space where my patients are able to feel that they can commence upon the therapeutic journey. I believe in being an active part of the therapeutic process, so that together, we can begin to discover more self satisfying and healthier relationships on all levels. Thus leading to healing and exploring deeper insights and connections that might be leading to certain maladaptive patterns of behavior in our lives.

With over twenty years of extensive experience working clinically with adults, adolescents and couples, I bring a lively and effective psychotherapeutic approach to every session. I believe the connection between psychotherapist and client is paramount to all healing and change. I strive to develop a profound understanding of each of my clients through my honed insight, humor and reflection. Psychotherapy is a creative collaborative process that necessitates participation and investment from the client. With this commitment, small changes to self-defeating behaviors alongside a deeper understanding of your feelings and inner self.

I am a clinical psychologist with an extensive research background. Therefore, my therapeutic approach includes evidence-based techniques such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and DBT. My hope is that mental health treatment becomes part of your routine, the same way we make plans to exercise or see a primary care specialist. Warmth and compassion I believe are keys to establishing a therapeutic sense of safety and trust. Then we can explore deeper issues such as shame, fear, sadness, and self-doubt. Together, we will make goals that lead to the changes you want in life.

Dr. Waltman is a master clinician at the forefront of modern Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Specializing in case-conceptualization driven therapy, he tailors his interventions to meet the unique needs of each client and is known for his extensive knowledge of therapy tools and cutting-edge strategies. By creating holistic, individualized treatment plans, he helps clients overcome barriers and achieve lasting change.

My ideal client is someone who is open to the therapeutic process, interested in becoming more self-aware and who makes an effort inside and outside of my office. I look for thought and behavior patterns to offer clients a fresh perspective on themselves and on why they operate in the ways that they do. Once we identify contributing factors, we can initiate change. I tend to hone in on my clients' strengths and find ways to maximize and utilize them in their lives. I also hope to offer a peaceful environment for us to build a strong therapeutic relationship.

Do you often find yourself consumed by anxiety, wrestling with overwhelming emotions, and navigating a sense of feeling undervalued or overlooked? It feels like life is a constant struggle, and catching a break seems impossible. Perhaps you've experienced trauma that lingers, adding an extra layer of difficulty to your daily challenges. You yearn for a sense of relief, to escape from the pressures and stressors of life. Simple tasks become monumental, and you forget what it's like to feel unencumbered.

We are defined by our relationships. Relationship to ourselves, to others and to the world. Relationship dynamics get formed in attempts to succeed in life. Though sometimes we may succeed in relationship at certain points in life, those same dynamics can also become unproductive. At that point we can use the dynamic to understand the problem and determine the adjustments that then lead to success once again.

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.
