Therapists in New York

Sebbene il processo di psicoterapia possa intimidire molti di noi, credo che rappresenti un primo passo verso l’appagamento personale, relazionale, ed una maggiore consapevolezza del sé e di coloro che ci circondano. I miei pazienti sono persone che affrontano problemi relativi all’adattamento ad una nuova cultura e società, hanno incertezze sulla propria identità, preoccupazioni relative alla propria età, transizioni nella loro vita, dilemmi sulle proprie relazioni sentimentali e familiari. Supporto anche individui alle prese con dubbi su sé stessi, esitazioni riguardo la loro carriera, stress, ansia e depressione.

Cercare sostegno è il primo passo nella giusta direzione verso una vita migliore. Credo che ognuno abbia dentro di sé il potenziale per superare le sfide che ha davanti ed il mio impegno è quello di sostenere questo percorso, utilizzando un approccio basato su accettazione, coping e ascolto attivo. In Italia ho lavorato in contesti familiari come Psicologa ed Educatrice per diversi anni. Ora lavoro come Psicologa Scolastica nell'unica Scuola Italiana-bilingue di New York, dove aiuto gli adulti ed i loro figli a trovare nuove strategie e considerare punti di vista diversi nell'affrontare transizioni, problemi familiari e disagio.

avvertire difficoltà quotidianamente, sentirsi inadeguati nell'affrontare gli obblighi o ancora non riuscire a realizzare i propri obiettivi è un sentire comune in questo periodo.Tutto ciò può influenzare l'umore e il modo in cui ci si rapporta con gli altri, ma si può superare. Sono specializzata in terapia cognitiva comportamentale e psicoterapia psicodinamica. L'unione di entrambi risulta essere molto efficiente nel trattamento dell'ansia e nell'identificazione delle origini di questo disturbo. Il mio lavoro è rivolto a adolescenti, giovani e adulti.

La sensazione di non appartenere veramente, che sia nel contesto del proprio ambiente culturale, della propria famiglia di nascita o del proprio sesso, può spesso portare a un doloroso senso di inadeguatezza, stagnazione e bassa autostima. Se non affrontati, questi sentimenti lasciano il posto alla paura e al risentimento e ci impediscono di trovare la nostra vera voce, di perseguire la nostra vocazione di vita, di formare e mantenere relazioni significative e di provare gioia. Continuare a nascondere e imbottigliare i vostri doni e desideri può solo portare ad un rimpianto a lungo termine per una vita non vissuta. C'è un altro modo

Relazioni, carriera, maternità, famiglia, immigrazione sono alcune fra le miriadi di sfide che la vita ci mette di fronte ogni giorno. Momenti diversi portano a sfide che possono lasciarci scoraggiati o insicuri e a sentimenti a cui spesso non riusciamo a dare un significato. Il percorso terapeutico è un percorso di scoperta di se stessi che crea insight e può aiutare a dare un significato alle nostre azioni e sentimenti. Il percorso terapeutico è un viaggio alla scoperta di se stessi, dei propri conflitti interni ma soprattutto delle proprie potenzialità e punti di forza.

Sono una terapista Italiana, immigrata a New York circa venticinque anni fa.

KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE. Stuck? Worried? Depressed? Low self-esteem? Experiencing relationship problems, difficulty parenting children, work/career, phase-of-life problems such as aging parents, illness, difficulty organizing yourself; addiction to alcohol or food? Compulsions? I will tackle your most acute symptoms first, explore solutions and behavior changes to enable better choices, explore barriers to achieving life & career goals. Very importantly, self-knowledge through exploration is crucial in avoiding repetition throughout the life cycle. I am also a certified psychoanalyst and experienced in the deeper, psychoanalytic approaches. I tailor my approach to the client's needs and capabilities.

I am internationally recognized for helping people break negative patterns and improve communication in their relationships. For over 35 years, I've led groups for eating disorder recovery & self-esteem enhancement. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples and families challenged by depression, various forms of addictions, including co-dependency. I help people manage anger, stress and emotional struggles. With compassion and creativity, I actively engage with people to foster resilience, confidence and self-worth in order to mobilize their strengths, fortify their sense of value and embrace their life journey.

I approach therapy with the understanding that our mind and body are not separated but aspects of a unified whole. Our emotions and life history are held and manifest in the body and change begins when we acknowledge and work with our full being. Through a process that goes beyond talk, I help my clients bring attention to how their concerns effect how they breathe, feel, move, think and express themselves, as I support them in gradually exploring the underlying emotional terrain.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. I see therapy as a powerful two-person process of discovery and acceptance. In session we laugh, we cry, we understand and we grow. We read over the past, stay rooted in the present, and look forward to a more balanced and fulfilling future. My integrative approach to treatment is rooted in interpersonal psychodynamic theory, but also drives from other models to meet each person's unique needs. My areas of expertise include trauma work, college mental health, issues related to international relocation, cultural integration, study abroad, body-mind balance, and adoption.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a private practice in Manhattan. I meet with adult and adolescent patients for treatment of depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. I am also qualified to work with individuals presenting with addictions and high risk behavior. It is my belief that psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between therapist and patient and that a good match promotes effective treatment.

Therapy is a creative process that could provide new perspectives to expand our sense of being in a safe and collaborative relationship. I work with adult individuals, couples, families, adolescents and kids. I enjoy working with international individuals and families. A particular interest of mine are issues of cultural identity and ways in which culture inflects the experience of selfhood.

Do you feel that your marriage has lost the spark? Are you asking yourself, what is wrong with my partner? Do you feel that you drink more than you used to? Is your teenage child acting as a runaway train? Does my child drink? Does she use drugs? Is she sexually active? Are you second-guessing your parenting skills? Is it them? Is it me? Do you feel that you have lost your grip on things? Contact me and I will help you better understand these concerns.Some people listen, and some wait to speak. I listen.

Suffering is an integral part of life, the same way manure is an integral part of the farmer's life. As a wise farmer learns to use manure as a fertilizer, I can assist you in understanding and using your suffering wisely, and learning to profit from it. I am silent when need be, yet I am also very willing to respond to your questions and to dialogue with you in a very direct way when necessary.

I specialize in short-term intensive psychotherapy and long-term psychotherapy with children, adolescents, adults, and families, and I conduct psychological testing. My work with children and adolescents has involved helping them navigate a range of emotional, behavioral, and academic difficulties. I have worked in private and public schools and counseled parents to help them advocate for their children's needs. My work with adults has included serving in outpatient and inpatient settings to address a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties managing stressors, relationship, career and marital problems.

Life has become an endless string of chores. You've gotten good at smiling on the outside, but internally you're just going through the motions. The loneliness, exhaustion, and lack of motivation are eating at you. Despite the well-meant advice from friends and family members you still feel stuck, unable to live your life fully. You know you desperately need to find meaning and purpose, but you barely know how you got here, much less how to begin fixing it. Symptoms of depression are often related to traumatic experiences.

I treat a wide spectrum of conditions including mood and anxiety disorders (e.g., bipolar and depressive disorders, panic and phobias), ADHD, marital issues and PTSD. My niche is in personality disorders (e.g., borderline and narcissistic personality disorder). I have extensive experience treating trauma sequelas, dissociative disorders and helping individuals overcome grief. My practice also includes treatment of eating disorders in adults (e.g., bulimia) and parasuicidal behaviour. Although my practice is mainly guided by empirical modalities, I tend to approach each client in an eclectic manner to customize treatment as needed.

I currently DO have openings! And I provide EMDR! With 16 years experience, I use a combination of insight-oriented and tool-based psychotherapies in a safe, compassionate and private environment. My approach is both culturally-sensitive and educational, allowing you to achieve clarity on past patterns and hurts that may be hampering healthy connections in your current life. Working with me, you will be empowered with tools from EMDR, CBT, DBT, Somatic Experiencing and Mindfulness and the 12-Steps, as well as unique methods I invented myself, to alter old patterns of thinking, feeling, perceiving and interacting.

I am a licensed psychoanalyst and a neuroscientist. I earned my PhD from University College London where I conducted seminal research in the field of neuroaesthetics. I coauthored three books on neuroscience, art and psychoanalysis and I have lectured for many years in the Psychology Department of Milano University.
