Therapists in New City, NY

I graduated from LIU with a Masters degree in Social Work and a concentration in addictions. I completed several advanced trainings in various specialized therapies including, EMDR, Inner Child, and CBT. I currently work in private practice treating individuals with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, relationship issues, and trauma. My objective is to help people reach their potential, to help them feel increasingly more comfortable with themselves, and to help them improve the quality of their relationships with others. I am passionate about the work I do, as I see the significant difference therapy can makes in a person's life.

The way in which people navigate the world is through experience. Many of us have had difficult experiences at different times in our lives which have contributed to the way in which we view the world and more importantly, ourselves. As such, most people carry negative views or beliefs about themselves that are simply not true. Until those beliefs are challenged in an effort to change them, we more often than not, experience emotional or psychological discomfort in many forms. Therapy is a space that serves to remind each individual of their ability to positively impact their lives by cultivating a more accepting view of themselves.

Finding a therapist that you can trust & feel comfortable with is half the battle in the journey of therapy! My first priority is just that; my goal is to create a non-judgmental & safe space for you to feel at ease discussing even the most difficult & uncomfortable of topics. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & received my Masters degree from the Silver School of Social Work at New York University. Over the past 10 years I’ve had various experiences in many areas of mental health & utilize a person-centered approach. Some of my specialties include generalized anxiety, stress, grief, loss, depression, relational issues & more.

Life can be challenging. Some people struggle throughout their lives, while others are challenged when faced with illness or adversity of their own or of someone close to them. As a clinical psychologist, I provide individual psychotherapy for adults of all ages and school-age children (ages 4 to 12) with a variety of psychological challenges and mental health issues. When I work with children, I collaborate with parents as well. I also work with children, adolescents, and adults in groups that focus on particular issues.

For over 12 years, I have helped couples better their relationships. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT), I offer customized counseling for a range of client needs in a secure, nurturing, and professional environment. Many issues can arise during marriage or long term relationships. Infidelity, poor communication, and loss of trust are among the most common issues we encounter. Helping couples to resolves these conflicts, repair damage, and reconnect is the most satisfying work I do.

I have been working with children and their families for over 15 years in settings such as hospitals, schools, mental health clinics and client's homes. I have extensive experience treating children with anxiety and depression, behavioral and anger management issues, ADHD, and oppositional defiance disorder. I have supported families through various stages of the divorce process and loss of a family member. I believe that a child is successful in therapy when the whole family is supportive and involved and I therefore have strong communication with a child's parents. I follow a Cognitive Behavioral and strengths based approach.

When children and teens are in crisis, so are their families? Is homework time stressful? Is your child unhappy? Does he/she not have friends? Is the teacher complaining that he/she is not paying attention to the lessons? Are you concerned your child's grades need to improve in order for he/she to be promoted to the next grade level? I help children learn ways to calm themselves so they can better pay attention. Through playing games which may involve math or reading, they begin to feel a sense of success and find learning can be fun.

I have over 10 years of experience providing specialized therapy to people with eating disorders and understand the complex nuances of what you are facing.

I am a licensed psychologist in private practice in New City, New York. I have been in private practice since 1996.

I received additional training through the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy attending a two year program in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and another two year program in Adult Psychotherapy. When working with children and adolescents, I provide space for them to comfortably express their thoughts and feelings regarding their experiences.

Navigating life's obstacles can be a challenging and sometimes lonely experience. I offer clients a supportive partnership where together, we can explore the issues of concern, the factors that are currently creating obstacles to growth so that clients can take steps towards change that works for them.As clients explore their life situations, they will walk away with greater insight that will serve them beyond our time together. As we work together and work on developing greater self awareness coupled with new patterns of thinking and behavior, clients will increase the skills they bring to dealing with present and future challenge

Within each one of us is an inner child that holds the many hurts of our life. To survive this world, we hide the child away, building strong brick walls, preventing the child from emerging. Sometimes we use our “busyness” to ignore the cries of the child behind the barricades. Or we turn to anger, addiction and numbness to drown out the deafening cries. In our moments of brokenness, we stop and wonder, “Is this how I will have to live the rest of my life?” Trauma touches us all in different ways. The role of a therapist is to guide you through the pain and hurt so you can live a life of intention, meaning and inner peace.
