Therapists in New York, NY

Hi! My name is Stella Cook, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in practice for about 20 years. As a social worker, I approach emotional well-being through the lens of your health, your environment, and your own understanding of yourself. I consider myself skilled at working with clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, working through major life transitions or decisions, challenges with fertility, and foster care/adoption/parenting related stress. I generally thing setting goals is important, but not everyone loves them. I approach goal setting creatively, and with agreement.

I specialize in evaluating and working with preschoolers, school aged children and adolescents with a range of psychological, educational and neuropsychological issues. These issues include developmental delays, learning disorders, chronic medical conditions, divorce, remarriage, adoption and PTSD. As part of the process, I work closely with each child's family and offer parent guidance. My goal is to help your child resume moving forward on his or her own developmental path as efficiently as possible. While trained in a psychodyamic approach, I incorporate cognitive behavioral strategies and a deep understanding of attachment research and neuropsychology into my work.

Who we want to be and how we are in this moment can be different! I can understand firsthand how the intersectionality of multiple identities we all carry, along with life experiences can have a profound impact on our wellness and equilibrium. The great news is, I believe we all possess the skills necessary to develop into the best version of ourselves. Most importantly, it is never too late to start on the journey of self-discovery and transformation and as your therapist, I'm here to support that journey.

My goal as your therapist is to help you explore how your past experiences are impacting your present and create a lasting shift that improves the way you live your life. I strive to create a sense of safety that will allow us to explore your inner world together. Guided by genuine curiosity, empathy, and open-mindedness, I work to create a relationship in which you can share your most difficult feelings. I draw on my extensive training and over twelve years of experience while always remembering that you are your own expert.

Now accepting new Clients! There is no perfect being, relationship or parent. Once we get rid of damaging expectations in which we impose on ourselves or that have been imposed on us by others we began to understand who we are. Building or rebuilding a relationship with yourself enables you the ability to experience more meaningful romantic, familial and peer relationships. You are not expected to be perfect, you are expected to show up! Let’s work to get you to a place where you are mentally and physically motivated to be present in your presence.

Psychotherapy offers an opportunity for getting more of what you want from life. Whether you are considering psychotherapy for the first time or returning after time away, I commend you for taking this step toward self-growth. During my 20 years in the mental health field and as a clinical psychologist, I've worked with a broad range of people and find the work deeply rewarding. Some issues people bring to treatment include: facing problematic patterns in life and work, loneliness and low self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma, divorce and separation, depression and anxiety, difficulty meeting goals.

I'm a proud queer/pan/poly human, and I absolutely love being a therapist. As a straight-passing queer person, I have a lived understanding of what it’s like to have multiple marginalized identities that are misread both in and outside my communities. As a single parent who was raised in a very religious environment, I have done a lot of my own introspection and exploration to become the sex positive and body positive person I am today. I am a compassionate, non-judgmental, and empowerment-focused therapist. I aim to support you in living freely and authentically, as you thrive in your relationships with yourself and others.

I believe in the full potential of every individual. I am a clinical therapist who works with children, adolescents, and adults. My process is to empower each client to be successful and happy. We do this by creating a set of practical tools that you can implement in your own life to tackle challenges or life transitions. Together we discover and unlock the obstacles and negative thought/behavioral patterns blocking you from achieving your goals. I offer a warm, safe, non-judgemental environment where we can transform limiting thoughts or emotions into fuel for positive change and lasting happiness.

I have over 25 years of experience treating adults and adolescents in psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy. During the the COVID pandemic, I'm seeing patients virtually through tele-medicine, on some kind of screen or phone. I specialize in helping people with depression, anxiety, and relationship issues; sexual problems; addictions; and in treating survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

At Jennifer Mann Therapy, we help you go from feeling anxious and stuck, to living an empowered life where there is a roadmap for change. We focus on tools that resonate with you, spending more time honing skills that help and less time on those that don’t. Together, we uncover subtle patterns that are holding you back and aim for Aha! Moments and self-discovery outside of the therapy room.

Hope, resilience, renewal, expansion. We all have a fundamental need, and the innate capacity to heal, grow and flourish. It is a sign of your strength and striving for health that you are seeking support from a professional. With a safe, affirming therapeutic relationship as our base we can harness the power of your strengths to transform what may be blocking you from living your full potential.

My approach to therapy is warm and collaborative, and I seek to create a treatment specifically tailored to each client's needs. My training in psycho-dynamic, cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral psychotherapy, as well as mindfulness and health psychology allows me to creatively integrate all of these modalities in the treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders.

I am fascinated about how the brain works and how behavior can be adapted and changed if we allow it to happen.I support anxious and depressed people who truly desire to renewal their souls. Self-esteem, stress and conflict management, codependency, and parenting skills are some of the areas that rise my interest. I am specialized in blended and multicultural families. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.

Pregnancy is a time of transformation as changes take place in the future mother’s body, relationship with her partner, social and work life and environment. Parents have to adjust to their rapidly changing world and to a new little human whose survival depends on them. They often feel inadequate because they are not quite sure what they are supposed to do in this new role, and having a baby can be a very challenging and isolating experience. Some parents experience anxiety and depression as well as difficulty bonding with their baby.

You have the potential to move beyond where you are right now. Working with an understanding psychotherapist will help you get there. Together we will look honestly at the events that have occured in your life and that you are currently struggling with.

I know it is hard and I have been there myself.

I care and can help you via my coaching and/or therapy.
