Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

I am on your side. I provide a safe and nurturing therapy relationship dedicated entirely to your healing and happiness. I work with people to transform issues around anxiety, sadness, unwanted patterns, change, feeling stuck, difficult emotions & moods, dissatisfaction, relationship issues, anger, boundaries, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, illness, abuse, isolation, addiction, career, family, sexuality, and more. I am in network with some insurances and I am happy to supply you with documentation for out-of-network coverage/reimbursement.

Often people enter therapy frustrated and confused about parts of themselves acting in ways they don't understand. Why can’t I stop drinking? Why am I eating when I am not hungry? Why am having trouble ending a relationship? Why am I bored and unfulfilled? I believe that without extending curiosity towards the parts of ourselves seem to stand in our own way, we will remain stuck. Our frustration and confusion is often internal, not external, and learning how to understand oneself through therapy can often lead to increased clarity, presence, and connection with oneself and others.

I will help you uncover the authentic self that lies beneath years of conditioning based on family and societal dynamics. You will learn how to be with and heal unprocessed pain. My style is a balance of empathy and active engagement. I love what I do, which will come through when we meet. My approach is holistic--a blend of insight with the principles and practice of mindfulness. I believe strongly in the unity of body and mind. I work with young to older individual adults and couples struggling with anxiety, relationship issues in particular mother-daughter enmeshment, trauma, and phase of life concerns.

Relationships, jobs, family dynamics, a move to a new city are just some of the various challenges in life. Sometimes we can find a reason for our sad, anxious or overwhelming feelings but other times we don’t know where those feelings are coming from. Therapy can be a journey of self discovery that creates more insight and gives meaning to these feelings. It provides us with space to put our distress into words and find new strategies to cope. At its best, therapy is a journey of self awareness through which a more fulfilling life is possible.

We all face challenge in our lives; the way we manage them can make all the difference. I will work to build a caring relationship and a strong therapeutic alliance so you can feel safe to express yourself, share your feelings, your hopes, your dreams, your pain. I listen deeply to what you say, and notice what your body and eyes say when there are no words. Our therapy sessions will be geared toward finding hopeful, strength based paths toward improving your days. I pay careful attention to personal and family history and to current patterns and behaviors in order to help you see new possibilities for yourself.

Muneera Zaidi, a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor, works primarily with individuals seeking recovery and support to cope with mental health disorders, alcohol and other substance abuse issues.

Volatile couples are often passionate couples. "We love each other and have a good relationship, why we do end up in the same hurtful arguments?" The passion in your relationship is energizing but can also turn into fights accompanied by extreme anger. Often this results in one person withdrawing and both left feeling hurt and misunderstood. I help couples turn volatility into versatility. Volatility is explosive energy; versatility means having choices and tools to use at the right moment while keeping healthy passion alive. My couples are people who have strong relationships but need help breaking patterns that lead them down a rabbit hole.

Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Is there something in your past that’s getting in the way of your future? Are you feeling lonely or disconnected from your friends and family? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone anymore. I am specially trained to assist those who struggle with anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems.

Life is overwhelming. There's so much that we are navigating and have pressure to get everything right. The last thing we want to struggle with is the very thing that helps us endure the challenges of life: relationships, sex, & our bodies. Do you find yourself trying to keep everything up and watching your relationships falling by the wayside? Sex & Relationships are important. We have so many ideas about it stemming from media, friends, family, religion and our own sexual history, which can be very confusing and isolating. Sex therapy helps make sense of what you know about sex, sexuality, & relationships

"I need help." As human beings, we all will say this phrase at some point in our lives. Acknowledging a need for help can be uncomfortable, painful or scary. Perhaps you've discovered that something is keeping you from being your best self. Or maybe your relationships, career, or family life is leaving you feeling depleted. Fortunately these struggles do not have to define who you are; change is possible and it can be a beautiful thing. Recognizing and building upon the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity and challenges has become a refined skill and passion of mine.

I am a clinical psychologist providing therapy and assessment services in Scarsdale and Greenwich. I treat various conditions, such as depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, social anxiety, and school/work issues.

Are you struggling to balance work, parenting/pregnancy, and staying connected to your partner? You are not alone. I work with clients to see where they can make positive changes and relieve stress. Other areas of focus are: maternal mental health (perinatal and postpartum anxiety and depression), and working with teens and young adults. I come from a mindfulness-based perspective, and have a strengths-based and Buddhist orientation. I believe that my clients - with the right support - can make meaningful changes that will improve their overall well-being and enhance their relationships.

I work broadly with young adults who often have bicultural backgrounds and are experiencing personal issues with themselves, family or relationships. It is a difficult balancing act between you, those close to you and differing cultural norms. Finding autonomy when the expectations of others sometimes burdens us, can lead to feeling anxious, alone or depressed. You can lose yourself to these feelings at times, which is why 1-on-1 therapy is a healthy approach to process these emotions.Family and friends may suggest or want vastly different things than you. In therapy, I will listen while giving you the tools you need for your goals.

I focus on the treatment of adolescents and adults by integrating both psychodynamic and CBT principles. I aid my clients in achieving meaningful and lasting change by helping them better understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It is my firm belief that clients ultimately do the heavy lifting in helping themselves. While I can guide them through with careful listening and appropriate questioning, it is with their dedication and hard work that they find the answers to a more fulfilling and happy life.

Why do I feel like that? Do I have a mental health disorder? Am I unhappy with my career? Or maybe I just have a difficult family. These questions deserve answers, but finding them alone is hard. For all the self analyzers out there, my goal is to help you untangle external and internal factors, that have unknowingly shaped who you are.We'll make sense of the "why"s, while simultaneously learning adaptive tools and coping skills. The end goal is to find clarity, within yourself, so that you can live the mentally healthy and happy life you choose.
