Therapists in New York, NY

Are you in the midst of a life transition-divorce, illness or loss? Are you a parent who wants to protect your child from the fallout of divorce? Do you have a child with special needs that is a challenge to parent? Are you looking to break out of a longstanding pattern of behavior that doesn't serve you well? Are you in a relationship that is painful and you don't know if it can be healed? Are you struggling with issues of infertility or thinking about adoption? Facing these issues and challenges can be daunting. I work with individuals to help them connect to their own capacity for transformation and growth. With the help of therapy people can develop tools and discover resilience that they can use now and in the future to overcome challenges that stand in the way of satisfaction, happiness, and a more fulfilling life.

Welcome! I started Water & Stone to support people, such as yourself, in finding a therapist or therapy group that fits your current needs, budget, and availability. When we speak I'll listen to what has been going on in your life and brings you to therapy before talking through options and sharing more about each group or therapist. My goal is that you find the right fit for you, so you can begin to feel a shift or relief within the first session.

I am a psychodynamically trained psychotherapist and have worked with adults and children for 18 years around issues that include PTSD, trauma, relationship problems, employment concerns, parenting questions, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I have found that talking can greatly reduce stress and distress and can lead to significant change. People tend to find immediate relief after beginning the process. I also practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people work through traumas and areas where they are stuck in their lives.

Life is messy. It’s easy to feel scared, anxious, overwhelmed, out of balance and alone. I am passion about listening, providing support & helping, in a comfortable and secure environment. Therapy should be safe and judgement free. Whether making a decision, small change, or large life decision, I know it’s not easy.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Child Life Specialist, and Grief Counselor with two decades of unwavering dedication to the field, I have had the privilege of supporting countless children and families through some of their most challenging moments. I recognize the profound impact that early experiences have on a child's emotional and psychological development. I provide comprehensive care that addresses not only the emotional needs of the child but also their developmental, educational,and social needs.This holistic approach has been the cornerstone of my practice, guiding me to tailor my interventions to each unique child.

I have over 15 years of experience counseling children, adolescents, families and groups, both in the US and the UK. I am British and after being educated at Oxford University I worked in various professions before coming to New York to further my education and continue my therapy practice. My philosophy is that we all have the potential to improve our lives. With collaboration and support my clients develop strengths to help overcome difficult and stressful thoughts and feelings and to achieve meaningful and lasting change.

I believe that it takes courage to ask for help, and I am here to accompany you on this path. Everything you need is already within you, and together we will develop tools to assist you in harnessing your inner strength in an effort to live your most fulfilling and authentic life. I believe that by working together, we can identify and enhance your strengths while exploring strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your identified challenges and build meaningful social connections.

"I Just Can't Seem to Get Over My Problem..." Does that statement resonate with you? Even successful people can still have unresolved struggles. I help people move beyond their stumbling blocks. Depression, anxiety, relationship problems, disturbing life experiences such as abuse, accidents, traumas, sudden illness/death can all prevent you from happiness. When symptoms persist, you can feel discouraged or defeated. You are not alone! Many clients feel this way when they first see me. Often, they've struggled for quite some time and have tried everything, only to experience partial relief. Hope is always available.

During different phases of life, it is common to face challenges that can affect your relationships, work, and overall well-being. These challenges can manifest as depression, anxiety, past losses, or even unknown factors causing distress. Engaging in therapy can offer invaluable insights into effectively managing these emotions. While seeking help may seem intimidating, speaking with a compassionate professional can be the initial step towards alleviating a variety of difficulties.

I believe that every individual can benefit from psychotherapy. In life, one will encounter hardship; psychotherapy offers a safe space for individuals to receive support without judgment or thinking they are beholden to someone. In my therapeutic work, I strive to help individuals face a variety of challenges, such as grief, depression, life transitions, gender and sexual identity concerns, and fertility issues. I specialize in working with cancer patients and their families, LGBTQ+ and disabled folx, which is informed by my positionality as an Asian-American cisgender lesbian that is a caregiver to someone with metastatic cancer.

I'm a psychologist who works with children, adolescents and adults, specializing in loss, trauma and family issues, in English and Spanish. I use integrative, strengths and evidenced-based therapy. I believe that humans are inherently wired for resilience. In particular contexts, our once healthy coping skills may prevent us from returning to our adaptive core. In therapy, I urge patients to learn to experience and tolerate emotions, access instinctive coping capacities and build a flexible mindset. This method allows patients to uncover strengths, and deepen their sense of hope, leading lives filled with vitality and exuberance.

Felling unsatisfied in your relationships or career? Is your child or adolescent struggling with school or at home? Is anxiety getting in the way of identifying and realizing life goals and aspirations? Do you see yourself repeating various patterns and feel ill-equipped to change them? Learned patterns from the past can persist into adulthood and frustrate one's ability to realize age-appropriate goals with relationships, career issues, and impede academic success.

Life is too short to feel stuck and not live fully. My clients and I work collaboratively on relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, job related stress, and trauma. I often work with men and women who either want to find love in their lives or who have recently experienced a loss of relationship through a painful break up. I have successfully helped clients getting "unstuck" and moving forward in their lives, work, and relationships. My approach is client-centered and relational. I relate to you based on your needs, your temperament, and your personal histories.

Are you looking for a therapist who understands the unique challenges inherent in family formation? Are you questioning how and whether to become parents? Are you in a foster or adoptive family and hope your therapist understands some of the issues specific to your situation? Are there missing pieces in your family history or have you learned new information via DNA testing? My practice is informed by my long-time focus on adoption. My focus is on understanding your story, connecting with you, recognizing your strengths, and helping you to determine how to tackle your challenges.

In this world that we live in there are some much darkness, heartache, grief and suffering, "Brokenness begs for healing" (Hawkins & Clinton, 2015). It is our duty those who know Christ to be the salt and light of this world. He is the only way truth and life. Through Godly coaching you will receive inner-healing, empowerment, restoration and motivation to go through life. You will discover the purposeful life God designed for you.

I work with individuals dealing with life challenges. Issues related to grief, illness, divorce, and its impact on children and the family. In addition, concurrent anxieties, and doubts and challenges coping with family loss and trauma. At times of stress, we will work to support your daily interactions and your inner thoughts to become easier. I have worked with people of all ages, helping them to find greater understanding and alleviate burdens in daily life. My goal is to support the issues you share with me and help you get back to regular life, outside of therapy.
