Therapists in Garment District, New York, NY

Calling all South Asian Misfits who feel like they don't belong: Being yourself does not make you "less" of a South Asian; it makes you a more genuine one. If you have been ever labeled the "Black sheep" of your community or family, been told that you are "Too South Asian", or "Not South Asian enough", you belong right here! That's why I go by "The Bad Indian Therapist", because as someone who was raised Indian and Catholic, I've also been called these things too. I'm here to tell you that sometimes it's OK to be "bad", and even if we did everything right, we're still going to make mistakes. So, let's be "bad" together!

Wherever you are in your life’s journey & no matter your reasons for seeking therapy, I strive to foster a non-judgmental space where you can feel at home & well-understood. I provide psychotherapy to adults of all ages with a wide range of concerns. These include the everyday struggles of love, work, & stress, as well as family & career concerns, but also the profound challenges of depression & anxiety, major life transitions, interpersonal conflict, trauma, & other emotional difficulties. I have extensive experience with individuals of diverse identities & marginalized backgrounds including BIPOC, queer, & immigrant communities.

Are you trying to make sense or figure out the ins and outs as you negotiate different aspects of living your daily life? People and things do not upset us. We upset ourselves by believing they can. -Ellis. The goal of my work with clients is to help you to be more readily equipped with positive outlooks regarding life events, interactions with others and create positive satisfying outcomes in daily life. My experience includes treatment for anxiety and depression, self-esteem, issues regarding LGBTQ, substance abuse issues, along with family and employment stress. Through our work together we can work to improve your life.

Are you experiencing frustration and disagreement in your relationship? Feeling defensive, shut down, or overwhelmed? Feeling like you are beating your head against the wall hoping for a different outcome? Do you feel stuck and crave more in your relationship? Do you feel lonely, taken for granted, and unappreciated? Do you carry the burden of the responsibilities in your home? Do you struggle to change your partner’s mind about divorce, rebuild trust, forgive and be forgiven, or save a marriage after an affair? Do you want to rekindle your love and passion, and most importantly understand how much you love your lives together?

Authenticity is the core value of my approach to therapy. I am a born and raised New Yorker who understands firsthand being skeptical of the work in therapy, especially when leaning outside of your comfort zone. If you're reading this, you may be in a place where you're ready to do just that... It may be that all of your past experiences are a weight that you carry around everywhere. The more troublesome of these experiences could create barriers to having fulfilling relationships with others and can make it hard to be with yourself.

**Accepting referrals in CT office only** I am an NYU trained licensed clinical social worker and have completed postgraduate work in individual, couples, family and group therapy at several New York City institutes. I am licensed to practice psychotherapy in New York and Connecticut and have private practices in both states. I'm the former director of a children's mental health clinic, but now focus on work with adults, adolescents, couples and families. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, eating disorders, parenting issues, adjustment problems, relationship conflicts, and work difficulties.

Have health anxiety or want to prevent migraine? (I'm 27+ years migraine free!) If your answer is "Yes!" then I'd LOVE to help.

My work and approach are to live in the here and now of present issues, while looking to the future and resolving underlying struggles from former experiences, so as to help us realize and work through the parts of ourself that have been challenged and which continue to be so. My 28+ years of pre-/and post Master's psychodynamic work with direct client and patient clinical treatment, along with my ongoing experience as a Yoga Teacher, and REBT training, inform my style and approach in working with individuals who are invested in developing a healthy sense of self and achieving healthier life goals.

Hi! Are you a bit tired and exhausted? Are you a bit tired of being tired and exhausted? Finding and protecting our joy and happiness is critical to your entire well-being and ability to be "present" for the things that matter the most. There are many struggles that drains us of our energies, regardless and many times because of our families, race, religion, interpersonal relationships, sexuality, socio-economic, and immigration status.

It is my belief and the foundation of my practice that humans have an innate propensity towards growth. Inevitably though, we come across obstacles and difficult situations blocking us from reaching our full potential. It is my goal as a therapist to help clients identify these roadblocks through careful exploration of the self, and overcome them in order to reach our full potential. We have no “rule book” for life, but therapy provides a safe space to explore our inner and outer worlds, and learn evidence based tools to grow and live a fulfilling life.

All clients need empathy, understanding, caring, and insight about the sources of their problems. But clients also want concrete suggestions about how to improve their lives. I work with a wide variety of clients, struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I specialize in couple therapy with highly-stressed couples on the brink of dissolving their relationship, but also with couples just starting out or those just beginning to have difficulties who want to prevent destructive patterns that lead to divorce. I work with children and teens in family therapy and individually, and with individual adults.

Life presents us with new challenges and obstacles every day. Whether you are entering a new phase of life or career, struggling to manage family and personal relationships, feeling inadequate at school or at work, or simply feeling stuck in a loop of anxiety, depression, or shame, adding in the right support can bring a sense of relief. Therapy is a safe and confidential space to connect with someone who truly cares, sees, and hears you. Your therapist is equipped to carry and instill the hope that things can change in whichever direction you choose.

Hi! I'm Dr. Steinberg. Are you struggling with your relationship(s)? Are you in need of couples counseling or sex therapy? Do you need help recovering after infidelity? Do you have difficult or unsupportive parents or relatives? Do you wish to argue less (my TEDX Talk is about this!) or have parenting/family issues? Do you need extra support and guidance to help you handle challenging situations or desire to make important changes? Is "work stress" or work/life balance a problem? If you answered "Yes!" to any of these questions, then I would LOVE to work with you - to teach you valuable tools to help you secure SUCCESS!

Therapy is a place to explore your authentic self. Together, we can build an environment where that can happen.

She values the therapeutic relationship and believe it is essential to seeing real change in therapy.

Psychotherapy is a process that facilitates change, growth and renewal. There are many concerns that may bring us to therapy: a difficult relationship, a general feeling of dissatisfaction, a life transition, a traumatic experience, gender/sexual orientation issues, immigration, feelings of depression, anxiety or loss. All of these circumstances are worthy of attention.

Sometimes we can't stop the world from crashing down on us. Life can be difficult. We could use a little help. Let me help you. Are you stuck in an ineffective communication loop with your partner? Are you fighting against intergenerational trauma, making you feel overwhelmed with parenting? Do you have a hard time setting boundaries with family and friends because you don't want to "be mean"? Whether it's a life transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, or just needing that outside support, I am here to be what you need. Let's do this.

I work with individuals who find themselves stuck, or struggling with work, relationships, family, loss, and identity issues. Are you feeling anxious or depressed due to recent challenges in your life? Have you been struggling with self-confidence, purpose or direction in in our current times? Do you find yourself dealing with the difficulties of being part of a marginalized and/or stigmatized community? Starting therapy can be overwhelming and intimidating. However, it can also be the beginning of a self-exploration and discovery that leads to a more fulfilling, purposeful and balanced life.

My goal is to help guide you through challenging life transitions with empathy and compassion. Past events in our lives are part of our story, but they are not the entire story and they do not define us. My practice focuses on honoring the life that has shaped you, and empowering you to use those formative incidents to understand and grow into your authentic self. Therapy is a journey that we can take together, navigating the challenges in a collaborative way.
