Therapists in New York, NY

I’m a licensed therapist specializing in trauma and relationships. I help individuals and romantic partners navigate emotional and relational triggers, and create a better relationship with themselves and others.

Just as we do not rush a butterfly out of its cocoon, it is imperative to honor each individual’s process, trusting the journey is as beautiful as the destination. Nayera utilizes an eclectic approach to therapy that incorporates Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with components of Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness Therapy.

I firmly believe that each individual is capable of improving their life, when they are ready to do so, and with the help of a well-matched therapist. I will work with you to gain a better understanding of who you truly are and what you want, while exploring ways to help you find purpose, peace and acceptance. I use integrative therapeutic approaches, and attachment theory and shadow work frame my perspective. I believe our true self emerges when we shed the social persona and integrate our identity with the unconscious parts of ourselves, thus rediscovering who we truly are.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am trained to think systemically and work with individuals, couples and families. I have worked with a wide range of presenting problems, such as: depression and anxiety, stress related to life transitions (such as marriage, pregnancy, graduation, switching careers, etc), relationship & family issues, issues related to parenting and children, trauma, chronic pain, and more.

Life doesn’t come with a manual. It is hard to navigate and we can consciously and unconsciously create many maladaptive patterns that serve us for a short while but become problematic later on. I believe that self-awareness, insight, and pattern recognition are key to well-being. Thankfully, you don’t have to do this alone. Together through acceptance, compassion, and trust we will explore the different aspects of your life that you find difficult. Collaboratively we will identify and change your unhelpful patterns and develop those that serve you and your goals.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

My approach to therapy is to create a supportive and compassionate space that will allow us to challenge and explore patterns of behavior, relationship dynamics, thoughts and experiences, while allowing healing to occur on the path to achieving your therapeutic goals.
