Family Systems Therapists in Garment District, New York, NY

My purpose as a therapist is to inspire individuals to discover their own true power by identifying patterns which may be holding them back from who they truly are. I believe my role as a therapist is to guide people toward finding their own inner power and strength, listen to their own inner knowing and find their own healing. Therapeutic modalities I utilize include depth work, internal family systems (parts work/inner child work) and family of origin, positive psychology, self-efficacy and self-empowerment perspective also known as feminist theory. Above all, I utilize a spiritual and holistic approach.

In my work as a Mental Health Counselor I have seen change in clients, real change. Whether you are being held hostage by a debilitating addiction, a paralyzing depression, or you just need to sort out life's many challenges, I am here to listen and support you. Becoming a therapist was a natural extension of what I was doing in my first career; I worked in the social services field for many years. My empathic, person-centered approach will help us build a collaborative relationship. In my work, I implement various techniques such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT and Internal Family Systems.

Do you feel like you've achieved some success in your education or career yet still find yourself struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, intimate relationships, cultural identity, substance use, or wanting to connect with your innermost desires? These things can often make people feel empty, lost, or unfulfilled. Therapists at Vivid World Psychology are dedicated to providing quality services to each individual, family, and couple that comes to our practice and helping them effectively resolve their problems, so they can build a meaningful and fulfilling 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.

I am a bi-lingual, Spanish speaking, bi-cultural psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of depression and anxiety issues, including general worry and career anxiety. I work flexibly and openly with clients to identify treatment goals, and map out a strategy to achieve them. Together, we find practical and creative solutions to the problems that bring you to treatment. Recognizing the inseparable connection between the mind and body, I regularly incorporate mindfulness practice into our work.

Whether your problems are specific - a relationship, work, troubling thoughts or experiences, or more abstract - feeling stuck, empty, lonely or misunderstood, quality therapy can offer invaluable support. I work collaboratively, compassionately and interactively with individuals and couples to improve their lives. Following your lead and pace, we explore your past and present, patterns in your life, your perceptions, behaviors and choices, and consider how our relationship may mirror your dynamics in the outside world. Though it can seem impossible initially, gradually you gain the insight and emotional capacity necessary for invaluable lasting change that feels authentic and comes from within.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of New York with over five years of clinical experience. I believe that therapy is a space where we can open ourselves and safely explore all of the different parts that make us unique and special. I specialize in working with individuals and couples in the areas of communication, relational distress, LGBTQ+ acceptance and identity realization, and navigating life transitions. Additionally, I have helped clients process and surmount issues of depression, anxiety, OCD, infidelity, self-esteem, impulsivity, and more.

Life often feels harder than it needs to. We have so many balls in the air, and constant juggling often leads to anxiety, self-doubt, and anger. It can be hard to be a good parent and spouse, to meet the expectations of friends colleagues and family, all while trying to meet our own needs. No wonder we find ourselves lost, unfulfilled and disconnected. If it seems like you don't know which way to turn, you've come to the right place.

Are you and your spouse/partner having difficulty communicating? Is your sex life non-existant? Do you dread going home? Is your self-esteem suffering? Then come to talk about it in treatment and find new ways of reconnecting. These are tough times, with some individuals working two and three jobs to stay afloat financially. Keeping it together is a balancing act for couples - especially if you have children. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My style is empathic and proactive.

Sometimes you know exactly what the problem might be, and other times it feels more confusing and elusive. I specialize in working with preteens, teens, and young adults in exploring, making sense of, and moving through their beautifully complex internal worlds. I believe that past experiences and relationships have a profound impact on how we see the world and move through it. Using a variety of effective treatment approaches tailored to each unique individual, we will explore how your lens has helped protect you in the past while also identifying new ways the pattern can be shifted to better serve you moving forward.

It is important to have physical and mental well-being.Therapy is a process of self discovery and healing. I believe in the process and help people understand that we do it together. It takes time to work on one's issues but I believe in the process of growth and positive change. I help people recognize that you have to love oneself , feel you deserve to be happier and do the work to make that happen.I believe that people are survivors and can overcome obstacles. I look up insurance benefits for patients and do all billing to lessen patient worry over this. I provide telehealth therapy for those who work from home or are disabled

Are you an artist in spirit? Do you identify as a creative, if not within practice within your dreams? If this resonates you are most likely someone who emotes beyond words and or speaks in metaphors. My therapeutic approach is creatively oriented within both verbal and the expressive arts. My practice assists in you accepting your true self, within live analytic, psychodynamic growth. I am relational, attentive, engaging and goal oriented. I want you to experience desired changes and growth overtime that we work towards collaboratively for ideally a year or more. I specialize within the LGBTQ community although treat all folk.

Do you have a great life, and wonder why you don’t feel more content? Do you sometimes wish you could better handle common challenges – relationships, worries, anger, or disappointments? Our ability often depends on how our parents handled these challenges themselves. The early years are critical for developing coping skills, or better yet, emotional resilience: the ability to adapt to stressful events, to resolve them, and to ultimately thrive.

I am passionate about working with adolescents, adults, and their families/support systems. I have particular specialties using research-based practices to work with individuals struggling with Anxiety Disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. In addition to those specialties, I support clients through a wide range of challenges including, depression, stress management, life transitions, and career and academic stress.

Hello, I am glad that you are here. I have been a psychotherapist for over 25 years. My commitment to you is to be a good listener, nonjudgmental, and to provide you with a safe space. We can join together to help you to master your best approach to a balanced life. My particular style is person centered, focused on healing and is holistic; I work with the whole being that is you. As your therapist, I will work with you to provide you with skills to cope and successfully manage and treat the distress.

Do you feel that you are "just getting by" or not even that? Have you been experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression or being overwhelmed? Do you feel that you and your spouse/significant other are not "connecting" in the way that you would like? Are you unable to stop self-destructive behaviors such as sexual acting out, compulsive use of pornography, alcohol or drug abuse, eating or gambling? Has a recent crisis made you feel out of control or unable to handle things as you have in the past? Feeling good is important!

Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, I stand by the commitment, “I’m here with you.” I believe that each of our stories are equally sacred as they are unique and see therapy as an opportunity to cultivate curiosity for ourselves and to let go of self-judgement. Taking a Psychodynamic approach, I aim to help my clients unravel, experience, and understand themselves more deeply, through building awareness, flexibility, and the capacity to make change. Humor, authenticity, and the willingness to experiment is foundational to my approach.
