Therapists in New York, 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.

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).

I am an extensively published, world-travelled expert on trauma and chronic illness. I conduct therapy in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, German, and Dutch. For the past 25 years, I have been assisting individuals with ADHD/behavioral challenges, trauma, PTSD, dissociation, depression, bipolar disorder, and physical illness. My clients range in age from 3 to 103. Early in my career, I developed a support group curriculum for AIDS orphans now available in 35 countries. Review of my work as a therapist are available online. Kindly employ email to contact me initially if possible. Thank you.

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.

Psychoanalytic therapy provides you with unique experience that focuses on uncovering your unconscious thoughts and lets you articulate them in a protected space. It gives you an opportunity to improve the quality of your life through better understanding of yourself and your relationships. I am dedicated to providing therapeutic and analytic help to individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, and problems with finding their path in life. I am also working with artists and other creative individuals who are having trouble starting and finishing their projects and with people who are going through major life changes.

As a psychodynamic therapist, I hold that exploring our motivations, inner conflicts and personal histories in a safe context can mobilize greater self-awareness, flexibility, and changes to problematic or painful modes of relating to ourselves and to others. I aim to foster a collaborative and responsive therapeutic environment informed by the specific needs and goals of each of my patients. I take a strengths-based approach and work to scaffold and reinforce the resources that each client brings with them.

As a true believer in human strength, many of us spend our lives searching for what is already there. A fuller and meaningful life is lived when we have discovered our inner strength. I am trained to help you find your inner strength so you can live a healthier and more meaningful life. My practice is rooted on a psychodynamic approach--assisting the client in gaining a perspective of pure insight in order to recognize the character, traits, actions, responses, and behaviors that will be transformed.

I am committed to creating an atmosphere of trust, respect, and honesty. I listen attentively and believe that the relationship that we create together is the most important tool for our work together. My orientation is also psychodynamic, which means that I believe in the central role of the unconscious, past history and emotional forces. I apply this approach to many kinds of issues (depression, anxiety, addiction, difficulty in interpersonal relationships, general sense of dissatisfaction with life). My goal is to help you develop the awareness, insight, and psychological skills that you will be able to use later on your own.

Suffering is an integral part of life, the same way manure is an integral part of the farmer's life. As a wise farmer learns to use manure as a fertilizer, I can assist you in understanding and using your suffering wisely, and learning to profit from it. I am silent when need be, yet I am also very willing to respond to your questions and to dialogue with you in a very direct way when necessary.

What do you want right now? Are you searching for something that keeps slipping away? Are you feeling stuck, sad, anxious or scared? Psychotherapy can help you discover what you may not see about yourself and your behavior. In my practice I work with people who are seeking change, self-understanding and greater fulfillment in their lives. Psychotherapy can be instrumental to help you establish better relationships, process conflict and deal with questions of self-worth. With warmth and dedicated attention I strive to be respectful, open and curious. I create a space where people can explore their internal world and speak freely.

I specialize in short-term intensive psychotherapy and long-term psychotherapy with children, adolescents, adults, and families, and I conduct psychological testing. My work with children and adolescents has involved helping them navigate a range of emotional, behavioral, and academic difficulties. I have worked in private and public schools and counseled parents to help them advocate for their children's needs. My work with adults has included serving in outpatient and inpatient settings to address a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties managing stressors, relationship, career and marital problems.

I always knew that I wanted to be a healer. The best description of what I do after 30 years of success is that I am a stress management expert for ages 2 and up. After training together in individual, family, and Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) my mother and I founded The Hamilton Practice in 1995. Working with survivors of childhood trauma and sexual abuse in Harlem for a combined seventeen years, we were stunned by the miracles that unfolded as we applied the power of connection and support. My mom left her body in 2021, so you will see only me when we meet, but you will be benefiting from the synergy of two generations.

Do you feel frustrated and stuck? Wondering if you are on the right track? Do you want change but don't know what kind of change or how to get there? Are you going through a life transition? Do you question wether your life can have more meaning? Or maybe you find yourself repeating the same pattern over and over and don’t know how to change it? I am here to help and support you. I will work with you to find your own inner resources, heal and integrate past experiences, feel more comfortable in your own skin and at home in the world, and experience more joy, peace and meaning in your life and relationships.

I am a licensed psychoanalyst working with individuals to foster a deeper sense of understanding and acceptance. My focus will be on helping you to become more aware of the source of your emotions, and to develop broader perspectives on feelings, thoughts, people, and life in general. Through the work done together you should be able to free yourself from inhibitions, find solutions to your problems, become more self-aware, and suffer less. You can expect an environment where all thoughts and feelings are not only acceptable, but encouraged expression, and where you will be listened to attentively, with no judgment.

We are not meant to struggle and suffer alone. Feeling understood, we understand ourselves better and find courage, inspiration and wisdom to lead authentic lives. Whether you are seeking help with adjusting to stressful life events, managing your own or your child's ADHD, anxiety, depression, parenting or romantic relationships, I hope to help you and/or your child gain a realistic and compassionate understanding of the difficulties, build resilience and improve coping. One of the greatest joys of doing this work is sharing the healing and liberating moments of putting something unspoken or unspeakable into words.

My practice has a dual specialty neuropsychology and psychotherapy. I see children, adolescents, and adults. In Neuropsychology, I see individuals who have experienced a learning difficulty or frustration in an academic environment. I specifically look to identify patterns of learning and adapting novel information to help individuals achieve the most out of their academic career. On the psychotherapy side, I use both psychodynamic and interpersonal modalities incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy to identify negative patterns of coping. Utilizing gentle challenges to current patterns, positive coping can be effected.

Welcome to my practice. In the consulting room, my aim is to meet you where you are. I approach our sessions with no personal agenda, and offer a space for your narrative to unfold naturally. However, rest assured, I am not a silent observer; our work is a collaborative process where two minds come together, engaging in meaningful dialogue and exploration. Together, we navigate your experiences, fostering a dynamic and collaborative therapeutic process. Feel free to contact me for an initial conversation. I believe this first contact is the best way to assess whether we are a good match.

I am Carol Lachman, a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist. In my practice I treat adults, adolescents and children. I try to help individuals understand and cope with the inner and outer sources of their unhappiness, and problems. I generally conduct individual sessions, but treat some couples. and also counsel parents of the children whom I treat. I treat children from ages two through adolescents, and provide psychotherapy for adults throughout the life cycle.

There have been times I couldn't help but cry with people and I couldn't help but laugh. Suffice it to say I will join you, once you feel comfortable, being creative about finding out how to be the most alive...how to tolerate and move effectively through pain...how to live from a place of ownership, passion, love...how to just be...human. In a fast-paced world where connection and meaning are forgotten, we cultivate a space for finding yourself. Go at your pace and take seriously your story and explore ways to make changes or even start to figure out what changes you may need in your life. Life is a process for us to see about.
