Therapists in 11201

Hello and welcome to my profile. By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating. I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect. Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

Are you living the way you were intended to? Or are there seen and unseen barriers blocking your full engagement in life?  Vulnerability to pain and struggle is inherent when we live authentically. It’s our entryway into full human citizenship. And in the acceptance of this struggle lies the birthplace of compassion, connection, authenticity, and joy.  In the space we share together, I want to join you in the quiet conversation you have at your core. A step at a time, we can leave behind the stories you inherited, and perhaps became complicit in, and claim more freedom for your truest self.

I specialize in working with people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, generational trauma, domestic violence, and eating disorders, including poor self-esteem, confidence, and body image. I particularly enjoy working with women, the LGBTQIA+ community, trauma survivors, and children/adolescents.

We are a team of bilingual Licensed Clinical and Master level Social Workers who practice both in New York and Pennsylvania. Our experiences include working with clients from different backgrounds and with different presenting problems, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, suicidality, mood and eating disorders. Our learning has been shaped through diverse experiences working with adolescents, and adults who face daily struggles and challenges in their lives.

I see adults from 18 - 88 years of age, from diverse ethnic, cultural, religious backgrounds and LGBTQIA. I have been trained to treat patients with depression, anxiety, chronic pain and illness, obsessive-compulsive, eating disorders, anger, drugs, alcohol, post traumatic stress, interpersonal, relationship and intra psychic issues. Many, but not all of my patients work in creative fields, education and athletics. I run a group via zoom. Psychoanalytic group therapy is a treatment modality that is designed to work with intrapersonal issues and relationships simultaneously. It is also financially viable. Let's talk about group!

Psychotherapy provides a unique space through which a new relationship with oneself and others can be forged. Change in patterns of feeling and relating can be achieved through a process of exploration of and reflection on one's deeply held beliefs, convictions, and values, and past and present experiences. My approach is collaborative and informed by psychodynamic perspectives. I strive to facilitate meaning, understanding, and empowerment through close attention to the details of one's internal life and external context. Many of the individuals I work with enter psychotherapy to work through depression and anxiety related to struggles with identity, relationships, loss, trauma, and migration.

I am attuned to the stressors of adolescents and young adults in these uncertain and frightening times. I am aware of what goes on in schools, at work, in the community and at home, and I can assist folks in unpacking trauma, establishing health patterns, and creating positive relationships with the self and with others. Many don't know exactly what brings them to therapy, but something doesn't feel right and they want to know why or make changes. Change is inevitable, and so very scary, particularly for young people. Folks want to feel heard, seen, and like they matter and that their struggles are real and valid.

My role as a therapist is to establish a secure, nurturing environment, one that allows for vulnerability and risk-taking, one that fuels self-exploration and promotes healing. I view the therapeutic alliance as being mutual and collaborative and aim for therapy to be an empowering, dynamic process driven by the client’s therapeutic goals. I believe the greater the collaboration between Therapist and Client, the more effective the process will be. My theoretical approach is both holistic and integrative, informed by sensorimotor psychotherapy, CBT, ACT and relational-cultural theory. I am also trained in AF-EMDR.

At present, April 2021, I am not taking new cases. I will adjust this profile when I have openings. I’m not receiving calls from this website. Together will find ways to process and work through such issues to enable you to engage fully with your life and enhance your personal development. I have a holistic approach and open mind and cultivate a comfortable, non-judgmental and safe space for many kinds of self-expression, whether verbal or using creative arts.

If you are struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, an eating disorder, PTSD or past trauma, perfectionism, challenging life transitions or creative blocks, please know that healing is possible. My hope is to offer you support through these challenges, emotional struggles, and any anxious thoughts and feeling that are causing distress and impacting your ability to heal and move forward. If you are ready for an integrative approach and the opportunity for the change that you desire, together we can identify the blocks you are experiencing, and use the most effective technique to move through and past them together.

By creating an open, non-judgmental space for self-reflection, I help individuals gain insight into the past and identify new ways of moving forward. Whether you're going through a major life transition, struggling with relationships, or feel that you are somehow holding yourself back, we'll work together to understand the conflicts underlying your unique story, and to implement significant, achievable change in your life.

Through our work together we will uncover ways to expand your strengths, identify unproductive patterns and develop healthier ways of seeing yourself. We will explore how past experiences impact your life and examine how the behaviors, feelings and thoughts that result may interfere with your efforts to achieve a more satisfying life. I utilize a wide array of approaches to guide clients towards increased self awareness and self acceptance.

Life moves quickly, and therapy can help you to slow down and reflect on your experience in ways that open up new possibilities. In this process, even the most troubling symptoms contain important potential energy. As a therapist I work to strike a balance between creating space for reflection and participating actively in the process, including, when needed, telling you what I really think. But most of all, I have respect for the particular difficulties that you face and for the ways in which you have lived with them.

I believe that the decision to engage in psychotherapy can be characterized as a committment to an inward journey. I view my work as a collaborative endeavor to help individuals improve their understanding of themselves and to support their ability to effect change in their personal lives. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with several years of experience. I primarily work from an insight-oriented perspective but I am also comfortable utilizing solution-focused strategies. I strive to provide a safe environment where we can work together to establish increased emotional health and life satisfaction.

Everyone goes through periods in their lives when they feel stuck with work and/or love. They can feel overwhelmed about the choices they have to make or feel forsaken by the perceived lack of opportunities. During these stressful times, they often lose their center, their sense of being grounded, and forget about the importance of personal care.

The experience of suffering is unique for each individual and deserves to see the light of day and fall upon the ears of an empathetic, insightful and attuned listener. Navigating the stormy seas of conflicts, desires, fears, and pain can feel impossible to do on ones own. I invite you to come speak with me so that together we may begin to listen in new ways to the valuable stories contained within the innermost often hidden aspects of self, opening paths to exploration of thoughts, feelings, and experiences that have previously eluded articulation in order to move towards greater clarity, self-understanding, and transformation.
