Family Therapy in Irvington, NY

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and their families. I try to provide a warm, empathic, and open therapeutic space where individuals can feel comfortable discussing and working on their present concerns. I believe it is important to tailor each individual’s treatment in order to meet them in the stage they are in and best suit their needs. Through my work at New York Presbyterian-Columbia University Medical center I have gained extensive experience working with evidenced based treatment modalities and am trained in a variety of different techniques.

The decision to begin therapy for yourself or your child can be difficult and often follows attempts to manage challenging life circumstances independently. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which clients are encouraged to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors in a supportive, nonjudgmental, and compassionate setting. I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience in Child, Adolescent, Adult, and Family Psychotherapy, Parent Consultation, Couples Therapy, and Special Education and 504 Plan Consultation.

Everyone tells you how impressive you are. Your coworkers are always asking for your advice and praising your accomplishments. Friends wonder aloud how you easily maintain such a beautiful home and happy family. Your life seems perfect (but “seems” is the operative word.) The truth is, you feel like you’re barely holding it all together. That shiny, flawless veneer hides a far darker reality. You're constantly burdened by a deep sadness and overwhelming anxiety. You live in fear that you’ll be exposed as an imposter. You desperately want to tell people how you’re feeling, but how could they understand when you seem to “have it all”?

You are most likely reading this because you are experiencing distressful feelings or facing challenges in your family life or career, including retirement issues. How can you know that I will be a safe and helpful therapist for you at this time? A highly experienced and effective licensed clinical psychologist, I have helped people from all walks of life with many problems in living. Although I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, and grief - my true specialty is change. I believe that what causes change in therapy is your therapist's skills and understanding and also the efforts you make to change.

Let's have a conversation. I offer a warm and supportive energy, providing a space that strives to help you feel comfortable and ready to share your story. Whatever that story is, we will work together to identify treatment goals and tackle the issues that are interfering with your quality of life. My mission is for you to leave a session more empowered, armed with new insight, coping skills and strategies that will help you navigate life's challenges with an improved sense of confidence and self-worth.

Hello, my name is Dr. Tasha M. Brown, I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, parents, and young adults. I provide a wide variety of evidence-based clinical services and I am passionate about helping the individuals she works with function adequately at home, school, and in their communities. My goal in treatment is to create a warm and supportive environment , where children, adolescents, young adults, and families can be their authentic selves. I am very dedicated to building a collaborative environment where we work hand-in-hand to address concerns together.

It's easy to stray from your path and feel lost, confused, overwhelmed, or numb. My goal is to support you during our journey together while we work to understand how your beliefs and behaviors are interconnected. Whether you need guidance, coaching, and accountability, or a deep dive into exploring the complexity of family dynamics and personal relationships. We will work together to understand your behavior and motivation, uncover the driving force behind your choices, and together resolve problems and improve the quality of your life.

I have enjoyed working with children and adults for over 20 years in clinical and educational settings, including as a faculty member in pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. My therapy sessions respect the unique experience of each family member and help facilitate insight and provide strategies leading to positive change. I work with children and teens with anxiety, social and academic challenges and difficulties with emotion regulation using talk therapy, play therapy, family therapy, and child-parent psychotherapy. I am also a certified trainer in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.

I am a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist that has been practicing for 19 years. I specialize in adolescents, but have had great success with adults as well. Using expertise that I have developed over my career, I can help you and your family with life transitions such as: divorce, birth of a sibling, death in the family, school issues, behavioral problems, parenting, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger management and anything else that you might want to discuss or process in a non-judgemental environment.

I approach each individual with curiosity and acceptance. I see my clients as the real experts on themselves- each in the process of navigating the world around them and learning as they go. I am actively non-judgemental and find it most therapeutic to provide clients with a safe context in which to explore thoughts and feelings, gain insight, and problem solve in a lasting and empowering manner. I actively listen and offer feedback, reflection, education and, depending upon the issue at hand, more directive advice. I also offer levity and humor at times, as it can be quite therapeutic overall.

For many people, life has never felt like more of a challenge. Maybe things were pretty good before the pandemic, but now you, your friends, your family, or your work are hard to recognize. Or maybe the pandemic has made already tight things much tighter. I work with teens and adults who struggle with motivation, identity, relationships, and finding and sustaining hope for a more stable and serene life. I use current psychological research to supplement traditional psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapies.

As a psychologist, I have worked for over 30 years with people dealing with various life challenges—depression, anxiety, relational issues and more. I maintain a strong subspeciality in eating disorders as well—including and especially the more common struggles: emotional overeating, constant dieting, binging, and body dissatisfaction. I believe it’s important for us all to understand ourselves, including how and why our struggles developed. At the same time, I know that understanding often doesn't help enough with the agony of longstanding emotional pain or addictive behaviors.

I provide ongoing psychotherapy and short-term counseling for individuals struggling with a range of issues including: anxiety, depression, challenging relationship and family dynamics, parenting, dating, separation/divorce, grief, trauma, and stress management. I also work with couples and families helping to resolve conflict, increase understanding of each other and learn strategies to improve relationships.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I treat children, adolescents and adults using evidence-based practices. I have expertise in working with anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), specific phobias, social phobia, panic disorder, and separation anxiety disorder. Additionally, I am skilled in working with individuals coping with the many aspects of chronic medical illness, including illnesses that may have prominent psychiatric symptoms (e.g., PANDAS, PANS, Lyme Disease/coinfections).

An important part of successful therapy is feeling connected with your therapist. I'll first work with you on building that connection by listening and trying to understanding your feelings and experiences. We will also work collaboratively to understand patterns in your relationships and past experiences that help shape your current situation and behaviors. Coming to a better understanding of yourself, your feelings and behaviors is the first order of change.

Welcome, finding a good fit with your potential therapist is key! I am a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience. I see both individuals and couples. I believe that all people share common struggles and that during challenging times can benefit from the opportunity to talk freely without the fear of being judged. We will identify self-defeating patterns linked to depression, anxiety, dissatisfying relationships and/or substance abuse as a first step. Finding alternatives which leads to living more fulfilling lives is the goal. I am also a consultant with expertise in healthy tech use across developmental phases.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience working with a great number of clients in a variety of settings. I work with adolescents and adults collaboratively to create a safe and comfortable space where clients can be their true selves. I help clients to explore their current circumstances as well as their past experiences to understand who they are and why they are this way. Through this understanding and experience clients are able to create positive change in their lives. I believe that to truly know thyself is the path to self acceptance and happiness.

I am pragmatic, flexible and solution-focused in my approach. I am well-trained and experienced in cognitive and dialectical behavior therapy techniques, and incorporate these skills when working with clients. Prior to focusing solely on my private practice, I worked for 14 years in an urban mental-health clinic, where I provided psychotherapy services to children, teens, adults and families, with a variety of presenting problems.

As a licensed psychologist, certified school psychologist & licensed behavioral analyst, I treat children, teens and young adults presenting with a wide range of emotional difficulties. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to help gain a deeper understanding of themselves and make effective changes in their lives. In my practice I utilize techniques that help facilitate a change in mindset. I have completed training at Mindful Schools and The Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy among others and I incorporate mindfulness into sessions on an individual basis for interested families.
