Jewish Therapists in Howes Cave, NY

Birth and motherhood are meant to be addictive. Yet so many of us feel anxious in pregnancy, experience birth trauma and struggle postpartum. In a culture where mothers are not supported, and the system prioritizes "safety" above all, women are often left stuck in survival stress after birth of their child. But please know that healing, love, and joy is available for you. Whether you wish to process and integrate your birth experience, prepare for the transition to the new role, or address your hopes and needs in pregnancy or postpartum, I am here to walk alongside and hold space for you as you navigate the perinatal journey.

Why were we taught algebra, but never taught about healthy relationships, delightful sex, grief, depression, or loving our bodies? Why do we fall into the same traps we fell into yesterday? Why do we go back to behaviors that we know are bad for us? I work with folks who feel stuck in painful cycles. I have special training in relationships, sex, and grief. I’ll give you tools & hold you accountable. My specialties are relationships, anxiety, grief, men's issues, queer issues, compulsive masturbation, porn literacy, low desire, ED & teens.

Hello. My name is Phil, and I am a licensed psychotherapist with 25 years of experience. I work with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds who are at different stages of life. My primary focus is to help people find happiness and contentment in their world, as I understand that the search for meaning varies based on an individual's stage of life. I am ready to work with anyone who feels that my assistance could benefit them.

Clients who come to see me are looking for help and support—sometimes the issues are clear, and other times exploration and discovery are as much of the healing process as is “figuring it out.” Therapy is an interactive process and clients can expect me to be active during sessions. My clients know that my priority is creating a space where they feel heard and can find a sense of safety—

People come to therapy for a variety of different reasons. Some individuals embark on a therapeutic process with specific goals in mind or because they have recently been impacted by particularly challenging life events. Others may pursue therapy and specifically creative arts psychotherapy as an on-going process toward deeper self-knowledge, growth, and healing. I offer individuals and couples an approach that is holistic, client-centered, non-judgmental and creative through traditional talk therapy, creative arts infused therapy, and often a synthesis of the two.

Does no one gets how anxious, frustrated or checked out you feel? It's so hard to be misunderstood. Trauma, family pressure, relationship issues; these things can have you stuck in a cycle of unhappiness. These experiences may even have you anxious, depressed and seeking relief through using substances. You’ve tried everything you can to address issues on your own. You want someone to actually help you. Despite it being hard, you're willing to ask for help. I want you to know that you can feel more connected, whole, energized and fulfilled. I am dedicated to helping you, using somatic therapy to link the mind, body and spirit.

I love working with people to understand their own patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. All of these patterns have a root cause, and have served you in some way at some time—even if they are now proving to be unhelpful or harmful. In our work together, we will come to better understand the problems you face, develop a plan to make a change, and then put that plan into action. I specialize in working with teens and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, BPD, ADHD, patterns of difficulty regulating emotions, and pervasive isolation/interpersonal conflict.

My ideal client would be someone who is motivated to engage in the therapy process, and is open to both feedback and support. The ideal client is also someone willing to learn and practice healthy coping skills, as well as integrate what they have learned in counseling into their everyday lives. Patients should understand that the therapy process takes time, and commitment as well as good attendance is necessary in order to see progress.

Has "talk" therapy not healed your trauma? Do worries keep you up at night? (Goodbye sleep!) Maybe you drag yourself to school or work. Paste on a "professional" demeanor while managing tight shoulders or a throbbing stomach ache. Are your relationships supportive? Or are you "earning" love by cheering others up or by "fixing"? Do romantic partners dump their bad moods all over you? When will it be your turn to feel loved and cared for? To have someone listen deeply to your fears or dreams without dismissing or becoming angry at you?

I have 31 years of experience helping people who are hurting change their lives. Often, we develop skills to survive difficult situations -childhood abuse, bullying in school, a bad car accident, sexual assault, an abusive marriage or boss - and it's hard to stop using those old skills, even when we no longer need them. We react in a new relationship as if we have to protect ourselves from things in the past. This often leads to more pain and unwanted outcomes. I can help you recognize those maladaptive coping skills. Change is difficult and often scary, but so worth it. I will be there cheerleading you as you practice new skills.
