Family Systems Therapists in 11201

The teenage years are rocky for families. Parents are seeing many issues arise in adolescent development including school performance, social interactions and increased thoughts of suicide in teens. Family systems have been majorly impacted with these changes and many families have experienced on-going crisis with their teens. My doctorate is in adolescent and family therapy with a specific focus on schools and helping families to reintegrate into daily routines, increasing socialization and putting out the "fires" in the home. This short term therapy will help provide stability and open dialogue.

Prioritizing client's goals without judgment or assumption and a pragmatic, compassionate approach to therapy are the foundation of my work. My areas of particular expertise are substance use concerns + disorders, LGBT issues, post-traumatic stress, critical incident debriefing, compulsive behaviors and stress management. In line with the core principles of Motivational Interviewing, I work side-by-side with my clients to explore their concerns and triumphs with a focus on building self-compassion and resilience.

**Currently Accepting new clients!**** Hello! I am a passionate and warm bilingual (Spanish and English) Licensed Master of Social Worker. I have clinical experience in different settings including outpatient treatment programs, school settings and private practice. I can work with all age groups from teens to adults.

I am motivated by a desire to support people to make sense of what has happened to them across time, and to explore how their past experiences might be impacting their present lives. This has led me to focus on trauma-related issues, in particular the relationship between mind and body in response to traumatic experience. I have extensive experience working with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), disrupted attachment, abandonment, losses and intergenerational trauma. I am trained in psychodynamic and Jungian psychotherapy and draw on approaches from other schools of psychology and modalities

I understand the vulnerability of bringing the intimacies of your inner and outer world to another human being. And finding the “right” therapist is often a source of additional angst. The good news is that I have trained extensively to provide the safe and healing “holding space,” for you to come as you are, without fear of judgment. I will meet you with skill, understanding, and strategies to address current, past and/or future challenges. My typical client is high-functioning, but struggling in some aspect of life with issues like anxiety, low mood, unresolved trauma, or relationships. Congratulations on taking the first step!
