Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in New York

Welcome! I am a trauma-informed and patient-centered therapist; trained in EMDR and specialize in trauma, perinatal mental health and mood disorders. I enjoy working with women, adults and young adults on managing mental health, life transitions, and improving relationships with themselves and others. I am passionate about helping people develop insight and awareness, as well as exploring how to break through negative patterns in order to live a more fulfilling and happier life. I am accepting new clients and accept private pay as well as United, Univera, Aetna, Oscar, Oxford, Cigna, Fidelis, Highmark BCBS and Independent Health.

Our providers are here to help you through this difficult time. We have years of experience treating a variety of concerns in various settings. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed, or unsure let us connect you with a provider who can help. From the moment you reach out you will be provided with individualized, patient-centered care in a judgment-free zone. Our goal is for you to meet your goals and we will provide all of the tools necessary to help you identify and achieve them.

Welcome! I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, life-role transitions, as well as those seeking emotional support with medical diagnoses, loss, and trauma. I work with patients to uncover and address their core beliefs, emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. Additionally, I provide effective therapeutic care to clients experiencing premenstrual dysphoric disorder, perinatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, those coping with with infertility and loss. I collaborate with patients to address cognitions and goals around the decision to have children, and relationships after becoming parents.

I work with individuals who are struggling with mood and anxiety disorders, either precipitated by perinatal mental health stress and daily life stressors. Such clients would be receptive towards homework assignments, self reflection, and questioning patterns in their life that keep them viciously entangled in their symptoms.

Life can be difficult. It can throw us for a loop. We can suddenly find ourselves feeling alone, bewildered. Life's transitions and changes can easily overwhelm us and it feels as though it is more than we can handle. But I can help you. I am here to encourage you, to support you. With an objective, non-judgmental ear and an open mind, I can give you another perspective. Sometimes, all it takes is another perspective to make life's challenges feel less intimidating.

Navigating the new normal, going through life changes, pregnant, have a newborn, loved ones lost, jobs furloughed, balancing all your new responsibilities of providing for your family, teaching your children, feeling isolated from other people and not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel are just some of the stressors that most people are dealing with right now. You are not alone. WE CAN'T CONTROL THE WINDS BUT WE CAN ADJUST OUR SAILS. Therapy can provide you with effective/powerful skills to help you feel peace, content and balance in your life. I offer individual, marital and group (perinatal) therapy.

Experiencing fertility challenges and pregnancy loss is an overwhelming and isolating experience. Feelings such as grief and loss, frustration, and hopelessness can complicate all aspects of one's life. Navigating these specific challenges is overwhelming and answers can be hard to find.

You are ready to celebrate the full you. You dream of moving beyond whatever is keeping you stuck in unhealthy patterns. You are tired of trying to fit into a world that was not designed for you. You want to respond instead of react, improve your connection to others, and be grounded in your body. Even when some areas of your life are going okay, things still feel hard. You may have tried therapy many times before but it never seems "to work" and you are ready to try something new.

Change is possible. You CAN feel better. You may be skeptical that what you're struggling with can be helped, blaming and judging yourself instead. You may be frustrated by many attempts to make things better without helping. A part of you may want to avoid looking at what is happening straight on for fear it could make things worse. These fears are normal. With kindness, curiosity, and a helpful framework, we can address these concerns while also allowing you to get the help you need.

Although you might come to therapy seeking help with your vulnerabilities, I believe you possess the strengths to develop healthy relationships with yourself and others and to change your life. Whether you come to therapy during an acute crisis, have reached a crossroads, or need to process and reflect on a layer of your life, therapy can be a powerful, supportive exploration. If you are seeking a better understanding or to change how you feel related to others, the meaning of important or painful moments in your life, or to develop insight into your life patterns, therapy can be a transformative tool for you.

We all go through challenging times in our lives no matter how old we are. Some people choose to deal with those challenges on their own and some make the choice to share their thoughts, concerns, pain, anger, frustrations with someone who can help them go through resolution of their conflicts. Being in treatment can change profoundly someone’s life only if one wishes and wants to do that.

Whether you are a single adult, a partner, or a parent, we all struggle with stressors such as feelings of anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, financial pressures, and difficult relationships. Therapy can be a useful way to explore where you feel stuck, and discover alternate ways to manage and cope so that you can live the life you envision for yourself. I use a collaborative, holistic, and relational approach to create a safe and brave environment where individuals, couples, and families can explore themselves and their relationships. l use interventions from various therapies, such as CBT and mindfulness.

Erin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), grief and loss, fertility, and pregnancy loss. Erin specializes in working with clients from adolescence to adulthood. She is a certified Daring Way Facilitator, a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, focusing on self-compassion, shame resilience, and vulnerability.

My practice focuses on fertility / pregnancy / postpartum (incl. new dads & LGBTQ families), grief (more specifically early mother loss, and pregnancy loss), and relationship issues. Throughout our lives, we're constantly relating to one another, and building new experiences from these relationships. Unfortunately, relationships can also often feel unfulfilling, or make us feel neglected somehow. They can bring on feelings of loss and disconnection. Then, life in general starts to feel unfulfilling. This can be changed. Psychotherapy, where the fit between patient / therapist is right, can be an immensely powerful tool.

I believe in taking a compassionate and holistic approach with each and every client. I firmly believe when individuals are provided with the tools necessary to see their own potential they can lead happy and meaningful lives. I offer a secure environment for introspection and self-revelation, and I am sensitive to the emotional nuances that come with the significant journey of life transformations.

Are you struggling with events from your past that make it difficult for you to engage in the present? Or wanting to understand why you are not feeling like yourself, and hoping to regain more control over your life? Perhaps you want to change some of your personal relationships, or shift generational patterns in your family. You have made a big step by reaching out for therapy and I hope to be able to help you thrive and find joy in your roles.

I believe that the work of therapy is about developing a healthy relationship with oneself and with other people in your community in order to live a good and meaningful life. By providing a safe and non-judgmental environment, I can help you achieve this goal. I primarily work with women before, during and after pregnancy regarding issues of infertility and postpartum; with individuals, couples, families and small groups. My main practice is home-based.

Or are you having difficulty communicating in your relationships and you're not sure where to turn? Life may seem difficult to manage and cope with mental health concerns. There are times when you feel better but the uncomfortable feelings always seem to return.

Life transitions and relationships can be challenging. Life changes whether they are expected or unexpected can cause anxiety, stress, and sometimes depression. Trying to start or grow a family can be more difficult than it is made out to be. Facing relationship difficulties whether it be the relationship you have with yourself or with a significant other and questioning your sexual or gender identity can be challenging.
