Therapists in 10025

My approach is comprehensive and integrates the tools offered by my clinical training in psychology, Jungian dream analysis as well as my knowledge of spiritual disciplines. Experience has taught me that each of us possess an inner intelligence that supports our efforts toward living a meaningful and productive life. As a therapist, I consider it my role to evoke and nurture this positive resource. I have found that my emphasis on supporting what is right in us produces better results than a narrow focus on what is wrong. I have learned to listen to the whole person.

If you feel anxious, depressed and have difficulty facing challenges in life, I can provide you with the counseling and support you need to work through your problems, manage stress, and achieve a state of mental health and well-being. My goal as a therapist is to ensure that you find happiness and fulfillment through healthy, meaningful relationships, meaningful work and engagement in community life. You will learn essential coping strategies and effective communication skills that will help you confidently, compassionately and effectively interact with intimate partners, friends, family, colleagues, and clients.

I work deeply and kindly with all life's issues: from despair to the urge to create, from self - hatred to the capacity for love. I have been in practice for thirty years and alive even longer. I have never stopped working on myself. I'm committed to making a place where the patient feels safe. Here you can bring as much of yourself as possible into a compassionate relationship. This is where healing can happen.

Have you noticed that you haven't been sleeping well? That you worry a lot, are unhappy or having relationship issues? Have you ever felt like your life is out of control? It doesn't have to be that way. I am here to help. Let me tell you a little bit about my background. I am Japanese but have been living in the United States for more than thirty years. I am a trained psychoanalyst and for more than 20 years have been practicing psychotherapy.

During the global health crisis, I am conducting sessions over the phone. I am a licensed psychologist offering psychotherapy to individuals and couples. I treat adults and adolescents. My approach is primarily psychoanalytic/psychodynamic though I use cognitive and behavioral techniques when appropriate. I have specialized training in the treatment of eating disorders, substance abuse/addictions and LGBTQ+ issues. Additional areas of specialization or interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, chronic medical conditions, disabilities, love and intimacy, parenting and identity confusion.
