Therapists in 10001

I am a licensed psychologist and a certified school psychologist with experience in providing evidence based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Rational Emotional Behavioral (REBT) and Dialectical Behavioral therapies (DBT) for children, adolescents and adults. I have experience working with a wide range of psychological and emotional difficulties including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relational and family problems, as well as behavioral challenges. I also have extensive training in conducting evaluations looking to diagnose any learning disabilities, ADHD, emotional and/or behavior problems.

Establishing yourself, and your identity, is a lifelong process. You are not alone when you face questions including: Who am I? What is my purpose? Who do I want in my life? What do I stand for? Why am I here? When we consider these questions, along with countless others branching from these, you might find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or frustrated. Attempting to navigate this process, you may face societal expectations, dysfunctional family dynamics, economic challenges or other stressors operating against you. While desire to be stable, authentic, and true to self is shared, your story will always be unique.

My clinical approach to therapy is based mainly on CBT and REBT techniques and facilitates mental, emotional and interpersonal shifts. By focusing on interactions, connections and problem solving mechanisms, I work to strengthen and enrich individuals, couples and families. I believe in direction and collaboration, coupled with warmth, empathy and acceptance, and an openness to change. I welcome clients that are motivated to grow and shift and open to insights and analysis, both self and that imparted by myself.

I have been a psychotherapist for more than 20 years, counseling individuals and couples with a variety of psychiatric conditions and life transitions. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process and create an environment where you can begin to critically think about your life choices while exploring relationship patterns. I will help you achieve both clarity and resolution with respect to life transitions and relationships by asking precise questions. Together we will focus on issues regarding empowerment, liberation and healing. You will reflect, act, and reflect again on your emotional and social life.
