Family Therapy in 10035

Do you or a family member feel that life is so difficult and everything you try appears to be falling apart at the seam. Disappointment, hurt, grief and anger can morph into complicated unwanted behavior if left unresolved. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating and sleep disorders can arise when life circumstances are overwhelmingly stressful. Over the years the feedback that I have received from clients is: that I am warm, caring, understanding, easy to talk to; willing to help you tell your story by asking the questions that bring out your inner voice and easily reached by phone or text.

Curating space for you within boundaries of your own life can be difficult. The beauty in self curation is ownership; exploring, cultivating, and replenishing your intrinsic desire and goals. Be it individual, familial, or couples therapy, we can explore your individual and collective desires as a team.

My mission as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) is to empower individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. With diverse experiences, I've assisted clients in navigating various challenges, witnessing the transformative impact of talk therapy. Being part of clients' journeys towards positive change fills me with pride and reinforces my commitment to helping them lead fulfilling lives.

I am a spiritually oriented psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with many years of experience. I work only on line with adult individuals. I can help you cope with difficulties in relationships at home and at work, and overcome anxiety and depression, low self esteem and shyness, crisis and transition, uprooting and relocation, trauma and loss. I can empower you and guide you in your search for personal identity, meaning and self-growth. I work with all races and religions, especially with the Jewish, the Israeli and the international community.

The decision to start therapy is personal and courageous and not always easy. Everyone goes through times when they feel more stressed out, angry, anxious or depressed. It is easier for people to explore their lives and make transformations when they are working with a therapist that they feel comfortable with and trust. My intention is to help you identify the goals you want to work on and to help you understand what is getting in the way of achieving them. I ultimately want to give you a new perspective and look at your underlying belief systems and the repetitive patterns that have been keeping you stuck.

Creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship is the first step toward understanding what's standing in the way of greater life satisfaction and emotional well-being. I am interactive and direct in challenging old patterns of viewing oneself, others, and the world so as to make room for more hopeful possibilities. I believe in exploring the impact of the past on the present, yet because insight alone is often not sufficient for bringing about change, I help clients develop the concrete tools necessary to play more productive roles in their own lives.

I believe that people want to feel and do their best in all areas of their lives, and that they have the potential for doing so. I also believe that people encounter obstacles in life when they haven't been able to find their own individual sense of what is right for them. I work to help each person find that inner sense of what he or she needs and wants in life, and to access that sense when making relationship, family, career and all life-path choices.

I work collaboratively with clients using individualized treatment approach to address different problems they encounter at home, work, and school. We can work on managing difficult emotions, improving coping and communication skills, stress reduction, understanding and improving relationships with significant others, learning how to best utilize your strengths, and recognize and address some of the issues you find challenging. I have extensive training in individual, couple, and family psychotherapy, and see clients individually as well as with their partners and/or family members.

My practice primarily focuses on individuals seeking treatment for issues of self-esteem, relationships or work problems. These problems can create feelings of despair, loneliness, and hopelessness. Normally, we all begin experiencing these feelings as children and as adults we may develop behavioral patterns which contribute to the perpetuation of low self-esteem. In therapy, we explore the reasons for self-defeating behavior. As we become more aware of what we do and why we do it, we can begin making the necessary changes for a successful future.

I am licensed as a Marriage Family Therapist and Mental Health Counselor. I am also certified in distance counseling helping clients in the US and abroad. After years of teaching (graduate students) and Face2Face counseling in New York, I am now devoted to online/phone counseling, and at home Neurofeedback services.

I am an experienced, skilled, caring therapist with a warm and supportive style. I am quite experienced in helping patients with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress-related problems, and issues around life changes. Some of my specialties include helping people to overcome the effects of trauma; recent trauma as well as childhood trauma, such as growing up in a family where there was abuse, neglect, substance abuse, or violence. I also help people to overcome performance anxieties, such as fear of public speaking, creative blocks, stage fright, and confidence issues in performance in work and in other roles.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working in the field for over 30 years with children, adolescents and adults, individually and in family units. I help people across the age spectrum deal with anxiety and depression, along with the attendant school, work and relationship problems. My focus is on helping people overcome problems through self-understanding and manage their everyday lives through developing more effective coping skills.

I am a highly experienced licensed psychotherapist, certified hypnotherapist, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. For over 25 years, I have helped clients to achieve goals, resolve issues, overcome obstacles, and heal. Originally trained psychoanalytically, I use the most contemporary mind/body techniques, including clinical hypnosis, and somatic experiencing to achieve the best results. I specialize in a broad range of issues, including anxiety, panic, phobias, and depression. Many of my clients have family or relationship issues, medical issues, employment issues, and/or a history of neglect, abuse, and trauma.

As a psychotherapist I work to create a warm, safe environment where deep personal issues can be explored. I believe that we are shaped by our relationships and life experiences, and life in New York is notoriously fast-paced, hectic, and, yes, sometimes frightening, The constant changes we face such as career change, job loss, relationship loss, an empty nest, can create anxiety and even depression. I would like to bring my life experience and training to help you work through any or all of your major life issues to enable you to improve your life and coping skills.

My patients come to treatment to open up repressed parts of themselves. Sometimes, my patients are struggling to integrate family backgrounds, religious,or cultural with their lives today. They have often succeeded in their professional lives but feel stuck in their romantic or interpersonal lives.My patients usually bring a curiosity about how their history effects their present lives.They are interested in engaging in a treatment which examines this closely in order to understand why they are feeling blocked and to open up a greater sense of inner freedom in order to live more meaningful and fuller lives.

I have one of the few jobs where my goal is to get fired. My ideal outcome is to help you to help yourself so that you don't need me anymore. Do you feel "stuck" in a relationship? Do you feel as if you have the same arguments over and over again with no resolution? Do you feel like there are too many obstacles standing in the way of achieving a relationship you had hoped for? My job is to help you get "unstuck" and change problematic patterns of interaction so that you can enjoy meaningful relationships in the future.

Couples in crisis,or quietly losing their way, have come to me for help in strengthening their relationships in a neutral, supportive atmosphere. I also have extensive experience with individuals (adult and children) and families. In crisis, short term or long term therapy, I am quite familiar with issues of depression, anxiety, work, or family stress. Many clients contact me regarding concerns about isolation, sexual identity, mood swings,and interpersonal relationships . Men, who often seek out therapy less readily than women, are well represented in my practice. People in the arts also occupy a large part of my work.

Psychology is a life-long passion for me, and I bring three decades of education and experience to help you transform your most important relationship-- your relationship with YourSelf. You will expand your awareness of negative and limiting attitudes and feelings toward yourself, and better understand where these arose in your life story. As your understanding grows, so does your compassion, and you will become your most effective ally, able to provide an emotionally solid homebase. Once your foundation in yourself is strengthened, the sky is the limit in all areas of your life.

"When I begin to work with a patient I realize that together we face the challenge of exploring all the complexities, confusion, and hurt that are embedded in the problem for which they seek therapy. With a deep commitment to holding a space for all that is there and listening for the unspoken feelings that lie beneath, I bear witness to the experiential unfolding of what has not before been expressed. Once this happens, patients come into contact with their authentic self, the confusion begins to clear, the hurt sets about healing, and there is trust in this emergent self."
