Therapists in Scarsdale, NY

If you find yourself constantly caught up in a cycle of overthinking & overachieving, seeking balance and centeredness in your life, I am here to help. Through therapy, we will explore strategies to calm the racing thoughts, ease the pressure of constant doing, and rediscover a sense of harmony within yourself. While we may not possess the ability to directly control our thoughts & feelings, we do hold the power to consciously choose our responses to these internal experiences. Together, we can navigate the challenges you face, while embracing laughter, acceptance, and an authentic connection that promotes growth & well-being.

I recognize the courage it takes to ask for help and the difficulty of finding a therapist. I provide an atmosphere that is safe to make space for self-exploration. My approach features warmth, direct communication, and humor, which allows me to enhance the relationship and paves the way for effective treatment. I believe in utilizing a collaborative approach, supporting clients in asking the right questions to help them heal

Do you feel overwhelmed by the stressors in your life? Would you like to reconnect with yourself? As a warm and attentive therapist, I am here to help! Compassion and empathy are at the foundation of my practice. I value creating an atmosphere of complete non-judgment where clients can explore their goals and values and work collaboratively to align their lives with those values. The space we hold can allow you to be honest, open, and kind to yourself. Together, we can freely explore issues that may have negatively impacted the way you are living your life.

Searching for a therapist can be overwhelming: scrolling through endless photos, personal statements, and credentials hoping to find someone with the perfect combination of traits to help you or your child. I don’t know if that perfect match exists, but I do believe the most important factor in therapy is the trusting relationship formed between the therapist and the client. I pride myself on my ability to connect with clients who haven’t clicked with therapists in the past, and for easing first-time clients into the process. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space, an open mind, a sense of humor, and a deep well of patience.

Psychotherapy is, most honestly, a very remarkable and often surprising kind of 'conversation.' The distinction being that when we have a 'conversation,' we only know where it will begin, but not where it will end. The 'getting there,' the movement toward 'the end,' is often a thought-provoking, pleasurable, funny, sad, profound experience that changes people in wholly positive ways. When therapist and patient develop a good working relationship, transformative things can happen. My work centers around creating a serious, useful, and private space to begin exploring the depths of what causes you to suffer, or feel misunderstood.

Are you looking to initiate a major life change but keep getting in your own way of doing so? Or, has a major life change been thrust upon you and you’re having trouble adapting and coping? Do you struggle to believe that you ARE capable of finding the light through the dark road you're traveling? If so, I truly get it. I can professionally and personally attest to the challenges AND triumphs of getting through big life transitions. While I wish I could eradicate all difficult emotions and experiences you're facing, my goal is to help you move through them more effectively. You deserve to live in a better way. "Better" IS possible.

I work as a psychotherapist and coach in New York, using a relational and solution-focused approach to support clients in living out their values, improving their health and functioning, and deepening their sense of meaning, purpose and wellbeing. My work is influenced by mind-body and compassion-focused therapies, positive psychology, attachment theory, dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. My work is heavily informed by the years I spent as a behavioral scientist and researcher exploring meaning and mindfulness-based approaches to behavior change and optimal functioning.

Do you want to be less reactive and more intentional? Do you wish for the focus to do what you need to do? Do you often feel anxious, but not sure why? You’re in the right place. In recognizing a need, and seeking help, you've taken a huge step towards a more aligned life. When we realize that own minds, not just life circumstances, can create barriers to our happiness, we're on the right path. I specialize in working with creative people, those perhaps labelled "too sensitive", or who have ADHD and/or anxiety, and are actively working to enhance their relationships, find purposeful work and listen to their own inner guidance.

Life can be hard, sometimes we can't even get out of bed to face the day. Learning skills to address: sadness, exhaustion, family dynamics, work stress, issues of trauma, PTSD, depression that stops you from enjoying life are some of the factors that I address in treatment. It can be scary to address the past, face the issues that have impeded us from being happy and successful, but with treatment and learning new skills slowly life can be better. Everyone wants to be happy, but change is hard and the struggle is real. With my psychodynamic approach we can create a treatment plan and approach to address these issues

When looking for a therapist, you may be understandably wondering, “What model do you use?” While learning about a therapist’s training and ethos is important, I believe that fitting the therapy to the person, rather than fitting the person to the therapy, to be most useful. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who offers individual therapy to adults, teens, and children. Whatever brings you or your child to treatment, whether it be a recent challenging transition or chronically overwhelming circumstances, therapy can help to alleviate symptoms, find clarity and coherence, and allow you or your child to better cope.

I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and sex therapist offering both virtual and in-person psychotherapy and sex therapy sessions. I work from a collaborative, strengths-based, person-centered perspective and specialize in providing a safe, sex-positive space for individuals of all genders and sexual orientations. My style is warm, nonjudgemental, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and grounded in body liberation.

Finding a new therapist can be overwhelming. My goal is to provide my clients with a safe and supportive space as we explore how you can find greater peace and clarity. If you're feeling stuck, anxious, or unhappy with certain areas of your life, I can help you examine what is causing those feelings so you can gain greater insight and overcome patterns that may be holding you back.

In a caring home-office I offer supportive, practical, goal-oriented, cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral (DBT) psychotherapy for accepting and processing what's past and embracing what's next with wisdom and ease. With 25+ years of experience in areas such as: infertility, cancer, health, stress, relationships, divorce mediation, family therapy, meditation and yoga, depression/anxiety and wellness, work/life balance, I have a strong understanding life's transitions, especially with teens, young adults and families. My hours are flexible. The first appointment will be helpful in understanding the client's history and desires and determining if the rapport is comfortable.

I feel particularly suited to treat mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and trauma since I have dealt with these in my own life as well as having treated and studied them from the professional side. So I feel particularly both trained and lived in the very problems in living that I would treat in psychotherapy. My approach is eclectic, interactive, and heartfelt. This means that I do not follow any doctrinaire approaches but I do attempt to treat patients with goals and methodology that I arrive at through my experience and my knowledge.
