Humanistic Therapists in New York, NY

As your therapist, I will listen to you with care, interest, empathy, presence and compassion. I will support your emotional healing in a way that respects who you are. I will support your personal strengths, and help you engage them as fully as possible. I agree with Rogers, who believes that when a person experiences unconditional acceptance and empathic understanding from someone who is genuine and real, healing and growth occur. My style is generated from various humanistic psychotherapies with an interest in the mind/body/spirit interrelation, combined with a grounding in classical theories.

I am passionate about personal growth & connecting deeply with my clients. I have a virtual practice and see clients face to face via ZOOM a HIPAA compliant platform.

Welcome to my practice. I am a caring, knowledgeable, and experienced therapist with a wide range of eclectic specializations. I work with clients interactively, partnering with them to identify issues and find solutions to the problems which bring them to treatment. Awareness, demystification, and education are important ingredients in the kind of therapy I practice. In a safe and supportive environment, clients are able to explore options and practice more effective ways of thinking and behaving in order to take the steps necessary to achieve their goals.

I utilize a humanistic and integrative approach to therapy which first prioritizes the importance of human relationships (the therapeutic alliance) and totality of the human experience (in all its nuance and complexities). My therapeutic framework ensures a client-centered, empathic, and collaborative dynamic is fostered where patients are involved in their own decision making, treatment planning, efforts to self-actualize / self-regulate, and to be self-determined. Together, we will ensure our shared space is safe for honest disclosure, affirming, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and which prioritizes your therapeutic objectives.

I understand that seeking “counseling” or “therapy” can be very broad and mean different things. It can be intimidating at first if you haven’t had any prior experience or surprising to experience different therapeutic approaches if you have previously experienced counseling. I want to tell you that I’m here to provide assistance for the needs that you have currently in your life. I see counseling as a dual relationship where you get to be on the driver’s seat and choose where to go on this journey. I seat next to you pointing out details, providing useful information or simply supporting you as you reach towards your destination.

Reaching out for support is during a challenging time can be a difficult process. Finding the right person who understands not only what you are going through but also allowing you to feel heard in a safe space can be daunting.

Whether you are looking to learn how to cope with a life transition or you are working through painful trauma, I create an empathetic space to explore your story so you can be your true authentic self.
