Therapists in Riverdale, NY

Comprendre et dépasser l’émotionnel Être psychothérapeute requiert une grande curiosité, un renouvellement permanent des idées et une volonté d’ouverture vers d’autres formes de cure. J’intègre un traitement axé spécifiquement sur l’exploration en profondeur de l’émotion qui inhibe et bloque l’équilibre personnel et familial. Je participe activement pendant les séances tout en respectant les émotions de mes patients sans jugement ni contrainte. Je m’intéresse profondément à la vie de chacun, aux cheminements passés et présents. Nous travaillons ensemble et formant une equipe solide.

Peut-être que vous vous sentez deconnecté(e) de vous même, ou que vous avez du mal à connaître vos désirs, ou que vous n'êtes pas satisfait(e) dans vos rapports avec les autres. Vous avez aussi peut-être des difficultés liées à l'expatriation. Nous travaillerons ensemble pour comprendre les raisons de ce qui vous amène en thérapie et pour vous aider à faire les changements qui vous donnerons accès à une vie plus épanouissante. Dans les séances, je mets en avant un sens de securité pour vous permettre de parler librement et vous exprimer comme vous ne l'avez peut-être jamais fait.

Psychothérapeute psychodynamique française à NY. Je travaille avec les adultes ainsi que les enfants/ados. Je suis formée en thérapie pour deuil compliqué et persistant, ainsi que les problèmes de psychologie maternelle: deuil périnatal, dépression, angoisse durant la grossesse et post-partum. Avec les enfants, je travaille principalement sur les troubles du déficit de l'attention, l'anxiété, la régulation émotionnelle et comportementale, le deuil, et les compétences socio-affectives. Ayant vécu dans 4 pays différents, je comprends bien les soucis uniques de la communauté internationale à New York (choc de cultures, etc).

Life presents us with new challenges and obstacles every day. Whether you are entering a new phase of life or career, struggling to manage family and personal relationships, feeling inadequate at school or at work, or simply feeling stuck in a loop of anxiety, depression, or shame, adding in the right support can bring a sense of relief. Therapy is a safe and confidential space to connect with someone who truly cares, sees, and hears you. Your therapist is equipped to carry and instill the hope that things can change in whichever direction you choose.

Our lives are woven with stories—the tales inherited from others (relatives, friends, social and professional circles) and the ones we craft for ourselves. Juggling familial duties, chronic pain, toxic environments, life or career transitions, the experience of loss, harassment, trauma, or cultural disconnection can deeply challenge our inner narrative, interfering with our ability to mend the threads of our stories, and flourish. In my practice, I assist patients in untangling their stories, finding new perspectives/meaning, and actively pursuing aspirations.

My broad experience both in a variety of psychological treatment modalities (Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy), as well as in working with a wide range of clients, enables me to provide therapy that is both deeply compassionate and well-rooted in psychological science.

"How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb?"..."One, but the light bulb has to want to change!" My clients share a genuine desire for self-understanding and motivation for change. But my practice is truly diverse: adults of all ages, nationalities,ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations. In addition to writers, performing and visual artists, I treat professionals, non-professionals, stay-at-home parents and retirees. I work with adult ADD and specialize in life transitions. I work best with clients who want a true therapeutic partner and an interactive approach.

I am collaborative, responsive, and direct, whether working with adolescents, individual adults or couples. I have varied training and specialties, and strive to assist those in treatment with me to reach an unsnarled, contented, mindful, chosen life. Aside from therapy of differing types and lengths, I also can offer second opinions, forensic consultations, and diagnostic assessments. A collaborative approach with you and with the other professional and personal contacts in your (or your family's) life is also my commitment.

I come to practice with an integrated, flexible approach to treatment that considers how personal experience and family history, as well as constitutional profile, inform behavior, decisions, relationships as well as beliefs about oneself, others, the world and the future. I take a strength-based, collaborative approach to enhance an individual's sense of worth, vitality and efficacy and build healthy, gratifying relationships. My approach is integrative, exploring the psychological factors that contribute to distress while offering practical, logical strategies to restore balance, meaning and strength in a gentle, non-threatening environment.

In my current virtual practice I am working with many age groups dealing with the anxiety of trying to cope: with getting ready for college; with city life and roommates; with relationship partners; with making decisions to move ahead with relationship commitment, or not and if so, how; all ages attempting to cope with remote work and cramped living arrangements; and the pain and changed nature of our current city life. I help patients seeking relationships, fixing them and leaving them.

You may feel like you’re the only one experiencing sexual challenges in your relationship, but difficulties like low desire, painful sex, or premature ejaculation are more common than you think. If you’ve been afraid to talk about your sexual challenges, you probably feel alone, overwhelmed, and unsure about what to do. If you’re in a relationship, you and your partner may have stopped talking about sex, deepening the disconnection and feelings of loneliness and shame. Fortunately, there is a way out of this negative cycle, and you can create the sex life and relationship you desire.

Couples and individuals seeking therapy deserve tremendous respect. In my work with relationships, I offer Emotion Focus Therapy (EFT) to help both partners to get unstuck from the repetitive patterns of emotional disconnect, that lead to fights or deadening silence. As a couples' therapist with an advanced training in Gottman therapy, I integrate it in my work when needed. My approach to individual treatment is Internal Family Systems (IFS) where you get to know your inner world, become more present, less reactive, and more capable of self-healing. I work both with monogamous and consensual non-monogamous relationships.
