Therapists in New York

האתגרים שיש לישראלים בניו יורק הם רבים ומיוחדים; שאלות סביב בית, זהות, שייכות וגעגוע עלולות לשטוף את הנפש באופן קבוע (במיוחד בימים אלו). להיפגש עם מטפל ישראלי, בשפת האם, יכול להיות משמעותי ביותר עבור הקשר הטיפולי.

אני פסיכולוג קליני בעל רישיון לטפל בניו יורק ובפלורידה. אני עובד במשרד במנהטן או דרך זום עם יחידים המעוניינים לשפר את רמת חייהם ומתמודדים עם חרדות, טראומה, מצב רוח ירוד ומצבי חיים מורכבים (קשיים בנישואין, תחושת אי-מימוש, חוויית שכול ועוד).

אני מטפלת ישראלית-אמריקאית. במיוחד בימים אלו, מוזמנים ומוזמנות לקבלת תמיכה בעברית.

I utilize an eclectic, psychodynamic approach that is tailored to your individual needs. I work with a wide range of people facing a diversity of challenges. I have specific experience with issues related to substance misuse, LGBTQ identities, HIV/AIDS, anxiety, depression, sexual compulsions, romantic relationships, spirituality & religion, and trauma. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you and be a part of your process of growth and development. Feel free to contact me for more information or an initial consultation.

Welcome. I’m glad you are here and taking an important step toward finding the right therapist. Perhaps you have been facing significant challenges for a while, are unsure how to cope with certain life stressors, or just want to know yourself better. Either way, you do not have to walk this path alone. Our work will focus on your experience and creating ways to navigate the world more effectively. I do this by creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment through listening without judgment and working collaboratively. My therapeutic style is integrative and warm.

Accepting clients starting May 2024 - Sometimes we can find ourselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed and unsure about how to move forward. Therapy can be a good space to start. My name is Cherliz and I am a dedicated therapist based in New York with a passion for supporting individuals through life's transitions. My approach is rooted in person-centered, interpersonal, feminist, and CBT therapies, creating a space where clients can explore their unique journeys. I bring a rich cultural perspective to my approach, as I am a proud member of the LGBT(Q)IA+ community, while also identifying as Middle Eastern and Jewish.

As someone who is LGBTQIA+ and grew up in a conservative community, I know how living inauthentically can weigh on you. Pleasing others at the expense of yourself can have some challenging and long-term consequences. What starts as suppressing your emotions ends up as ongoing depression and anxiety as you continually make choices to minimize conflict rather than truly meet your own needs. While the path forward can feel confusing, there is hope for finding a sense of clarity and relief, and awakening to a life that you genuinely want to engage with and thrive in.

Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice on the Upper West Side. I completed my Ph.D. at Fordham University, and my pre-doctoral internship at the Yale University School of Medicine. I specialize in providing treatments that have been supported by research including cognitive behavioral therapy for mood and anxiety disorders, dialectical behavior therapy for emotion dysregulation/borderline personality disorder, and relapse prevention/motivational interviewing for substance abuse. In addition to my private practice, I work as a supervising psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center / Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

"Why should I go to therapy?" I remember asking myself that same question many years ago. Deciding to go to therapy isn’t easy. It usually means that life has been challenging and that you aren't coping well. Sometimes the cause is obvious—you’ve lost someone; you’re anxious or depressed; you’re dealing with change. At other times, things are less clear. You sense that something is off, but can’t exactly point to what it is. That’s where therapy can make a significant difference. Your time in therapy is likely the only time you'll have complete freedom to say what’s running through your head—good or bad—without being judged.

In my eyes, one of the most powerful aspects of therapy is the relationship that forms between the therapist and the client. The process of establishing a safe and supportive partnership makes room for us to collaborate on rewarding emotional work. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and supported along your journey of self-discovery, and to help you find resilience, authenticity, healing, and self-love. My approach begins with warmth and having an open-mind. I am here to help guide you towards the goals that you set for yourself.

Sometimes we can feel stress and lost with relationships, our families, and ourselves. We all need help. Someone to listen to up. You might wish you could improve your sex life in your romantic relationships, or change your family and relationships interactions. Maybe you want to live a calm and peaceful life and overcome past traumas that don't let you move on. Replaying your history over and over, wishing things were different. It might be the way you think and treat yourself that brought you here. Maybe you want to discover more about yourself and never knew how.

I have a long track of success treating people of all ages, in the individual, couples, family, and groups modalities. Special experience working with PTSD, LGBTQ issues and trauma. I also have provided treatment for people in the Autism spectrum. I can provide services in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hebrew. I have a robust system to provide you with the state of the art Telehealth services.

Therapy is an opportunity to explore the self and develop coping skills in the areas that YOU want to improve and NOT because you need fixing. Together, we’ll foster acceptance of the self, others and the world around us. My goal is to help you have meaningful relationships- with others and especially yourself. Whether it’s dealing with daily stressors or major life changes, therapy can provide essential insight and coping skills to help you get through this time. I am invested in helping you effectively deal with whatever comes your way and ultimately thrive.

Greene Clinic is a collective of diverse practitioners. Our services include a range of psychotherapy approaches, psychiatry, art therapy. Greene Clinic's psychotherapists are trained variously in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy, as well as skills-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral (DBT). Our approaches help clients deepen their self-understanding, work through feeling stuck, and gain tools for making change. We welcome clients from underserved and marginalized communities, including sexual, religious, and ethnic minorities. We are LGBTQ & alt sex friendly. Our clients include couples, families, students, people in the arts, immigrants, and people struggling with or recovering from substance use, eating concerns, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Seeing your child angry, depressed, anxious, and engaging in self destructive behaviors like cutting or using substances is overwhelming, confusing and frightening. Maybe something recently happened that explains these changes, or maybe it feels like this has come out of nowhere. Either way, you have come to the right place, and I am here to help.  I have devoted my practice to supporting teens and their families through one of the most tumultuous times of their life.

I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in New York and New Jersey with over 20 years of counselling experience. I specialize in working with couples and individuals who struggle with communication skills as well as emotional and physical intimacy. In addition, I help individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, OCD and personality disorders. I am a certified Schema therapist and have taken multiple trainings in Acceptance and Commitment therapy as well as Emotionally Focused therapy.

I place great importance on the therapeutic relationship. By fostering a growth mentality, I create an empathetic, warm, and supportive environment for my patients. I understand the role and impact of patients’ past childhood experiences on their lives and bring insight into the interplay between past and current experiences. Through this process, patients will develop healthier behaviors and strengthen their resilience to improve the overall quality of their lives.

Finding the right therapist is the first step towards healing and the relief of your pain. A trusting relationship is the essence of effective treatment. You need to feel connected and understood in order to share your internal world. My empathic capacities will enable you to feel safe enough to explore the problems which have hindered your life and relationships. My perspective is informed by contemporary relational psychoanalysis and I use psychodynamic methods to help us understand what makes you into you and recognize your potential, so you can become freer to change and be the author of your own life story.
