Therapists in New York, NY

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.

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.

As a clinician, the therapeutic process is only meaningful and complete with the reciprocity and engagement of those I work with. Each individual is unique and their stories are interwoven with a rich tapestry of diverse emotions. By balancing the abstract, creative, philosophical, and introspective aspects of life with friendliness, compassion, empathy and care, I walk the path with you on your journey toward peace and happiness.

We are a team of psychologists who are here to help you to get the change that you want. Our philosophy is in developing deep relationships with you to understand your issues. Problems like obsessive thoughts and behaviors, not fitting in, and difficulty finding a good partner can seem like isolated problems but many times are not as simple as they seem. Our psychologists will help you to uncover what may lie beneath each problem and their interconnectedness to understand their complexity. Change can then happen through insight and/or behavioral techniques.

I am a clinical social worker with over thirty years experience working with individuals, couples and families.

I ventured into this profession as a means of addressing my own emotional wounds, navigating a difficult childhood and through the sudden and tragic loss of a dear friend as a child. I aim to utilize my personal journey to bring hope and possibility to those who have faced similar pain, grief, and adversity. My focus involves aiming to provide brief-term therapy, typically spanning between 6 to 8 sessions. Embarking on this therapeutic journey and facing your grief head-on is courageous. While I may not have all the answers, I aim to assist and nurture your path as you navigate these difficult times.

In my practice, I focus on helping people understand and alter the patterns that stand in their way to actualize their potential, feel alive and whole. I treat people who are striving to find love, or feel lonely in their present intimate relationships or/and their families. I work with people to find a voice to speak their frustrations, longings, and desires, and the courage to use this voice with others. In the safety and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship we seek to understand the origin and role that feelings of anxiety, shame, and worthlessness play so that they lose their inhibiting power, and dissolve away.

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.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.

Do you find yourself dwelling on the past? Is your fear of the future holding you back? Are you wrestling with organizational struggles, losing track of tasks, or anger management? I know how crippling that can feel. Together we can navigate these challenges, identifying the inner part of you that wants to succeed, and fostering a sense of control and empowerment. My goal is to provide you with practical tools and a compassionate space to overcome obstacles. This is the Person Centered Approach.
