Hungarian Therapists in New York

If you are at an impasse in life, experiencing anxiety, depression, or a lack of motivation, or if you need help navigating a complex relationship, please reach out to me; I would be happy to work with you. For many people therapy is a pathway to transformative self-discovery. I am an engaging thought partner. I listen deeply, and I will help you improve your relationships in the workplace, among friends and family, or in intimate settings.

Our team of clinicians has been hand-picked for their expertise and diverse areas of experience. Children or adults, individuals or couples, LGBTQ+, English or Spanish (or Japanese or Hungarian!), EMDR or psychodynamic, CBT or body-centered work. ​Whatever you are looking for, we have someone who can help.

I am passionate about helping my clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal struggles, and personal growth and development, while supporting them on their journey to live a more balanced life. My therapeutic approach is person centered and I work closely with clients to help them connect with their values, gain personal insight, understanding, and self compassion.

My practice focuses on: ·Psychotherapy for individuals across the life span (children, adolescents and adults), as well as for families and couples. As a therapist, I seeks to help individuals bring meaning, words and expression to their experiences that resist easy understanding. I work collaboratively to create a language for unexamined feelings and to create a space and time for their exploration, reflection and examination. ·Comprehensive neuropsychological, psychodiagnostic, educational and psychological evaluations for children (5 and up), adolescents and adults. This process serves to highlight strengths as well as clarify whether there are any learning/cognitive and/or psychological issues.

As a therapist my goal is to listen to and understand people, and to provide a space that is safe and conducive to our work together. I strive to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment where clients can confidently explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe in the power of a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship, as this is the foundation for success in therapy. When clients feel welcome and understood they are empowered to work towards change through increased openness and vulnerability.

Individuals of all ages, nationalities, gender, and sexual orientation are welcomed. The populations I work with include individuals, couples, students as well as  extended and blended families.

Life takes us on many unexpected twists and turns. No matter how hard working, tough or intelligent we are - none of us can get it right all of the time. Things have often been building up for a while, perhaps as early as our childhood. When we finally do fail, it hurts. We are shocked and caught unaware. We judge ourselves harshly and feel we are less than what we should be. This is when we need help in getting through these life transitions. Counseling can give us a fresh perspective. It helps us look at each crisis as an opportunity, to find even better directions for ourselves and for our loved ones.

I would like to offer my help to anyone who struggles with the current global situation. Right now many of us are struggling with increased stress and anxiety, as well as heavy emotions that might be coming up from unprocessed experiences from the past. Understanding the ways our nervous system and body handle stress and trauma can be very helpful in finding our way through the storm.

I've been to therapy. Whether it’s the first time in treatment or to start a new therapeutic relationship all over again, I know that the search for a person who is a complete stranger at first, and one whom you would share your most inner thoughts and fears with can be daunting. It is difficult. But it is possible. As a therapist, I pride myself in building relationships with my clients. Real relationships that are open, engaged and unconditionally caring, but ones that seek truth. I will be there with you in that process even when it's difficult or painful, and I will help you find and make the changes you're looking for.
