If things are not going well or you don't feel the way you'd like to feel, a good therapist can help. I think it's important to take a practical approach to therapy, especially in the beginning. Let's get you feeling better. I'll build your confidence in yourself and in your direction. I will teach you skills that you can practice in between sessions that build on what we discuss. From there, we can work together to figure out the origins of your symptoms and develop a better understanding of who you are so that we can work on who you want to be and how you want to feel for the rest of your life.
With over 20-years experience directing an urban college counseling center, I have real expertise in working with young adults. For the past 5+ years I have been in private practice, focusing on treating patients with anxiety disorders (including OCD), mood disorders, and chronic pain. I am also a seasoned, experienced, integrative couples therapist.
NY Mental Health Center responds to inquiries promptly. If you would like to schedule a session, I think you will find yourself at ease in a short amount of time and working in a productive, effective therapeutic relationship. You can view my profile and the rest of my team here: www.NYMentalHealthCenter.com.
