Jewish Therapists in Chester, NY

Your Place To Heal! From relationship trauma, abuse, anxiety, addictions, depression, loss of self, or neglect, to Full-Hearted Living. Welcome, I’m Chava Abramovitz & I help women and couples find safety & acceptance within. Are any of these thoughts familiar? *I’m not good enough *I don’t deserve happy things *I’m inherently damaged *This good won’t last, it never does. These are ingrained beliefs but not facts! They may be coping skills that helped you get through life until today, yet they’re now keeping you stuck. You don’t need to stay here forever: go from coping to truly living by harnessing your untapped inner strengths.

Here to help you remember who you really are.

I am a New York licensed creative arts therapist and a board-certified dance/movement therapist with over 15 years experience, working in a variety of clinical settings, and private practice. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, loss/bereavement, trauma, and autism spectrum as well as behavioral disorders. I am also certified in integrative somatic trauma therapy, trauma informed yoga, breath work, mindfulness and meditation. I provide group, individual, and family therapy at my practice.

My specialization includes helping with social/interpersonal challenges including social anxiety and anger, as well as navigating confusions around your identity and sense of self. Rest assured, I maintain a professional approach while respecting your beliefs and values, creating a supportive environment tailored to your personal journey of growth and self-discovery.

I am passionate about helping others achieve goals, work through and problem solve as well as address significant mental health issues and obstacles that intrude, create havoc and prevent individuals from living happy and healthy. As well as a licensed clinical social worker, I also have a masters degree in communication disorders....I'll help you find how and what to say when words and the ability to express feelings are at a loss. Life is not a dress rehearsal....we only go around once!!

I am a collaborative, calm, empathic, non-judgmental and flexible therapist, and I am pleased that you have found your way to my page. I have 10 years of experience in NYC-based social work and specialize in therapeutic work with adults, with a focus on depression, anxiety, relationships & boundaries, self-esteem, and explorations of gender identity and sexual identity. I am polyamory and LGBTQIA+ affirming. There are many different paths that lead one to therapy, and I am excited to have the opportunity to learn about the unique set of circumstances that have brought you to my (currently virtual!) office.

Accepting new clients who are motivated for change. Do you recognize that you deserve happiness and are willing to put in the work to find it? Let me help you find your answers. Clients who work with me appreciate my flexible and individualized approach to managing symptoms often associated with anxiety, depression, and the daily stressors we face during life transitions.

Do you find yourself struggling with sadness or constant worry? Are you having difficulty in your relationships? No matter what you're going through, this will be a safe space for you. I'm here to help. I am a licensed mental health counselor of 4 years and have mostly worked in nonprofit. I believe mental health care should be attainable for all, which is why I accept health insurances and offer reduced rates if needed. Much of my work has been with the Jewish population.

Tzippy works in with diverse populations in various settings, with a focus on adults in the Jewish community. She addresses anxiety, depression, self-esteem, self-confidence, specifically resulting from trauma and unhealthy relationships. When one has been in an abusive relationship it leaves negative effects. Whether you were hurt by a family member, friend, or partner, one usually feels confused, unsure, and alone. Throughout the therapeutic process, Tzippy helps clients recover by using a variety of techniques. This helps others build emotional stability, independence, and regulation, providing a strong sense of self and worth.

Dr. Gottlieb is a NYS licensed clinical psychologist. As a helping professional she believes that each person is doing the best they can in any given moment and that therapy can help build on innate strength so that they can do more. Dr. Gottlieb approaches therapy through the lens that all people are whole and unbroken as they are. Therapy does not change people, rather it helps them to develop the skills they need to live in a way that is consistent with the life they want to live.

I believe the therapeutic relationship can be both healing and empowering. I use a person centered, strengths-based approach to help each person best reach their goals. Together we create a warm, safe, and genuine space that each person can use to gain self-awareness and feel supported. We work to eliminate distress and facilitate personal growth to help the client reach their individual goals. Throughout this process, I place great importance on understanding the impact of a person’s identity, culture, and environment to best support them. I also believe collaboration, creativity, and humor are essential to the process!

I practice psychotherapy with a collaborative and integrative approach by curating evidence-based practices that work in accordance with each client’s needs and styles of treatment. Primarily, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Theory, Object Relations, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My approach is strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I passionately work with clients to create a judgment-free space that, over time, becomes a haven for discussing intimate or traditionally taboo subjects.

Do you want a non-judgmental space where you can show up as your full self? I'm Zohar, and I hold an MSW from Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and an MFA from Boston University. Therapy has helped me better understand my own behavior and has motivated me to change patterns that no longer serve me. My positive experience with therapy has inspired me to support others in exploring their own narratives, values, and actions.

I moved to Seattle in 2017 after spending the previous ten years on the East Coast in New York City and Washington, DC. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska as a Jewish gay kid who always felt “out of place” in a community where these identities were largely invisible. I also lost my mother to cancer at the tender age of 16 while attempting to accept my gay identity. As a therapist, these experiences have helped me develop resiliency and to better understand how oppressive systems can create feelings of loneliness, isolation, despair, and hopelessness.

I am a Jewish, queer, neurodivergent therapist. It is my goal to provide a safe and warm environment where my clients can explore areas of their lives that cause distress. We can work together to identify unacknowledged emotions, fears, desires, and entrenched patterns so that you can live a life worth living. I am motivated in helping any client who is struggling. I bring a great deal of empathy and understanding to people who are struggling with mental health issues and it would be a privilege to come along on the journey of healing with you.

I am a warm and caring postdoctoral psychologist working with adolescents and adults coping with anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, various mood disorders, school, work, parenting, and relationship challenges, as well as severe trauma. Additionally, I also work with those living with complex medical issues. As a mother, I also have a particular interest in women’s mental health as well as the challenges on the journey towards and within parenthood. I work with diverse populations and provide culturally-responsive therapy regardless of culture, ethnicity, religion, ability, socioeconomic status, gender or sexual orientation.

I am deeply committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's most painful journeys and realizations. I believe each person's story is unique, and I tailor my approach to create a safe, supportive space where you can uncover your strengths, explore your goals, desires, dreams, and fantasies, resolve conflicts, and foster growth. Together, we'll explore the intricate dynamics of your true self, whom you most want to be, complex relationships, and develop strategies to cultivate deeper connections, emotional resilience, and pride.

Feelings of hopelessness, shame and inadequacy may be rising up regardless of your daily positive affirmations. When you are feeling stuck, it may be time to try a different approach—targeting your thoughts, body and emotions. Together, you will learn to self-regulate, relieve your symptoms, and increase your confidence and self-worth in order to embody your authentic self. We’ll work together to heal your past so you can ground yourself in the present and reach future goals.
