Therapists in 10025

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.

My focus in working with patients is for them to feel deeply understood by me and to feel safe in exploring their issues, whatever they might be. This understanding is best accomplished, in my mind, through the use of empathy. What is it like for you to be you? For me, the relationship between patient and therapist must point in the direction of healing oneself and through oneself, others. I fundamentally believe, like others before me, that the patient is the one who guides the process. Similarly, it is the patient who is my best teacher.

We all have the capacity to heal, both ourselves and our relationships so that we may grow to our fullest potential. I have over thirty years of experience dedicated to facilitating that process. I provide a safe and nurturing environment as the foundation for any work we do. Together we will explore your past and present, helping you face and move beyond toxic memories, change old, dysfunctional patterns, and develop your strengths. You will learn to free yourself from stuck places and rediscover yourself in vital, new ways

The face you show the world may not reflect the way you feel inside. You might seem confident, happy and proficient to others, while privately feeling inauthentic or inadequate. You might notice yourself angry, frightened, lonesome or sad more often than you’d like, or for reasons you don’t quite understand. You might find yourself revisiting past hurts, feeling numb in the wake of difficult, long ago events, or feeling deeply at odds with your own body. Maybe your racial, sexual or gender identities have subjected you to painful familial or societal exclusion or marginalization. Or maybe the world just feels too heavy to bear.
