Therapists in 10021

I have over twenty-five years of experience in the mental health field in New York City. I tailor my approach to each patient’s needs based on an in-depth consultative process.

I am intuitive, open minded and direct in my practice. I help people when they are feeling overwhelmed by life and unsure how to move forward. I work with people struggling with their relationships, professional or family stresses and life transitions. As a couples therapist I support partners to improve communication, increase intimacy, identify yearnings, co-parent more effectively and mediate for couples considering separation and divorce. I prioritize respecting your goals, and we work collaboratively to help you discover new ways to find meaning and build personal changes that can yield to a better life.

“When things change within you, things can change around you”. These words capture the power of therapy to help us improve our lives. I offer the opportunity to explore, navigate & negotiate life’s challenges and transitions. I bring 25+ years of clinical experience integrated with a mind-body-spirit approach. I offer a safe space and supportive guidance to enable you to share your story. In my work with adults, couples,and college students I effectively identify and offer multiple strategies, enabling you to develop inner tools and resources to achieve meaningful and lasting change.

It is my belief that anyone can benefit from psychotherapy as we all have unique concerns influencing our daily lives. Working in a safe and comfortable environment, I can work to help you know yourself better and to live your life the way you want. We will work collaboratively to explore and understand the psychological roots of emotional suffering by focusing on self-reflection and the examination and resolution of inner conflicts. I can help you to explore and modify your patterns of thinking in order to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and to improve coping with daily struggles.

My goal is to guide clients through self-exploration, self-awareness and resilience building that transforms them into self-reliant individuals. I integrate psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), DBT, relational, and mindfulness-based techniques tailored to specific needs. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership explored within a safe, non-judgmental environment, working at a pace that is comfortable for the client; we can explore short or long-term counseling. Together, we can work towards resolving feelings of sadness, anxiety, and understanding maladaptive patterns, gaining insight to change problematic behaviors

As a parent myself, I know the fears, anguish, and confusion you can have dealing with your child's or adolescent's struggles. If you are in a less than satisfying relationship, I can help you understand and effectively communicate your needs in a way your partner can respond to you. If you have an addictive problem, I can help you motivate yourself to overcome it. I provide a safe, comfortable, nonjudgmental place to heard. We will use intense problem solving methods to get the most rapid relief we can. We focus on your goals, not someone else's.

For over 25 years, I have helped adults and teens to overcome their anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I am a warm, caring and engaging psychologist who understands your emotional pain. As a results-oriented practitioner, my approach is conversational, action-oriented, and interactive with you to help you achieve your personal goals, based on techniques which have been proven effective.

I believe that positive reinforcement and approach in life can help people with individual and interpersonal challenges. I specialize in Marriage and Family therapy, couples counseling, anxiety, depression and anger management. I am a clinical fellow of The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, where I expand my professional expertise (in addition to my clinical work) to optimize therapeutic services provided to my patients.

Kenwood Psychological Services is a match-making service. We do not ask you to choose a therapist from a list of pictures and descriptions. Instead, we get to know you - your background, your personality, your needs - and then WE choose the therapist we think would be the best for you. We work with a group of more than 200 Psychologists and Social Workers, each of whom we know personally. They work from their own private offices around the city and surrounding areas. Most of them also have an active on-line practice, which makes them available to anyone in New York state.

Trained in cognitive behavior treatment, I am a compassionate, experienced, and skilled social worker who has held many senior clinical management positions. I am eager to collaborate and work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship issues, employment issues, anger management, and addictions. In a focused and direct manner, we will address immediate concerns and symptoms, as well as deeply explore unresolved childhood issues, emotions, and traumas. Together, with the client, we will exercise coping skills to empower you to take control of their life.

I am an experienced adult psychotherapist with accredited postgraduate training and clinical experience. I have special interests in work-related stress, performance anxiety, eating disorders and interpersonal relationships. I have an active affiliation with many major insurance plans. You can expect to have a consultation within one to two days. My office is conveniently located on the Upper West Side. Curiosity, humor and a toleration of paradox and irony can help. Let's see how we can bring out the best in you and make the world a better place for everyone.

Therapy works, and people can change. In my practice people stop acting like marionettes dangling on invisible ropes and feeling "out of control" or stuck in repetitive, unproductive destructive motions. Together, we rewrite your story and free you to choose new, productive, more authentic and organic behaviors. You will figure out what you really want and how to get it. You will also learn that you can't get a quick fix. It took you many years to "create" yourself the way you are, and you need to acknowledge and respect this creatively devised mechanism.

We are a not for profit community resource dedicated to providing low-cost psychotherapy to adults, adolescents and children.

"Our work-together can open doors". With my empathy, wisdom and knowledge, I can aspire and inspire change in you who are eagerly seeking and waiting. As a Psychotherapist, I am, first of all, an ally who provide support and a safe space to be. Then we go on a journey together: from an unawareness of the self, from superficial goals and aims towards an understanding of your individuality and to a state of centeredness-unified, integrated self.

Are you a new mom or contemplating motherhood? Pregnant, and feeling nervous or blue? Or, perhaps you recently had a baby and are feeling overwhelmed? At a time we are expected to be joyous, many women are enduring stress: hormonal fluctuations, professional/personal role changes, feelings of loss of a previous life, tension in relationships with family members, sleep deprivation and isolation. As a psychologist with 15 years experience, I am uniquely positioned to help women as they contemplate issues relating to motherhood. You can also join my support groups for new/2nd time mothers at the 92Y Parenting Center.

I am invested in each of my client’s goals and tailor therapy to your specific needs. It’s difficult to seek help, and I recognize how much strength it takes when you reach out. I see that in itself as the first step to feeling better. I am an LCSW-R, the highest level of licensure, and I provide a relaxed space for you to feel comfortable & unjudged, so that you can share thoughts & feelings that are hard to say aloud.
