Therapists in Monroe, NY

People often struggle with negative, self-defeating thoughts - often ones that they know are not completely true, yet nevertheless feel true. Many of my clients come to me because they want to make changes in their life - at work, school, or with family - but they feel trapped because of these negative thoughts. These thoughts can lead to excessive guilt, hopelessness, and indecision. As a therapist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, I am committed to working together with you in helping you get unstuck.

Does it feel like there’s more potential to your life, but something always seems to hold you back? Perhaps you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, or past trauma. Many people struggle with making meaningful connections, navigating relationships, and searching for purpose. My role as a therapist is to help you remove the roadblocks that keep you from living your fullest life. I support people from all backgrounds, including women, survivors of abuse, college students, the Jewish community, couples, and more. No matter what you’ve been through in the past, you deserve a healthy, happy, and meaningful life moving forward.

Are you experiencing stress , anxiety, depression or have an addiction problem? Have you had unresolved trauma? Art is an expressive medium which helps facilitate communication, reduce stress/anxiety and explore the different aspects of yourself. I use psychotherapy as well as the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the mental, physical and emotional well being of individuals of all ages in a fun non-threatening approach.

It takes true courage to share a story that contains a history of struggle or abuse. Have you found yourself overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed and want to better understand the triggers? Have you tried to ignore relationship or professional struggles in hopes they would eventually disappear? Have you reflected on past pain, and worry you are overreacting, won’t be believed, or are at fault? Perhaps you’ve achieved those goals related to wealth, fame and success, only to find your “perfect” life does not bring the satisfaction you anticipated. The old strategies no longer serve you, and now you need to try something new.

Feeling stuck and don't know how to move forward? Are you tired of the negative narratives that are constantly playing in your head? Do you suffer from anxiety, but are finding it difficult to seek help? With over 35 years experience working with those suffering from anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, I will listen to your pain and offer guidance, support and practical solutions. When you find the right person to share your darkest shame, remarkable transformations can occur. Let me assist you in your healing journey. Together, we can discover where you may be blocked. You deserve to feel joy again! There is hope! I can help!

Are you wrestling with a sense of unworthiness or isolation? Are you yearning to feel at peace with yourself and more connected to yourself and others? Has something significant changed in your life and you’re struggling to adjust? Or perhaps you know something needs to change but aren't sure how to get there? You may be searching for a non-judgmental and accepting space to navigate these parts of your life.

You’re a quirky, empathic, sensitive and creative woman who is finally ready to motivate and find meaning, but stuck in a negative spiral and struggling with emotions. Many creative and empathic women struggle with highly sensitive temperaments and appear typical on the outside but often feel like a hot mess and struggle in their relationships, parenting, careers, health. We can’t get rid of emotions, nor do we want to! It’s what makes us human! Anyone can benefit from learning ways to better regulate or express emotions. Anxiety and emotions can suck, which is why you may choose to use food or something else to numb or distract.

Do you feel like everyone has it together but you? Are you overly critical of what you see in the mirror or scared of how others perceive you? Do you live to please everyone but yourself? Being in a state of constant inner turmoil and insecurity is not just exhausting - it can spill into your physical health, your relationships, and turn simple conversations into unnecessary sources of stress. I promise, no matter what you're going through right now, there is a way out of the pain. My hope is that after our sessions, you'll feel more grounded, better able to cope with everyday stressors, and see yourself in a more positive light.

I support caretakers, empaths, creatives, those suffering from PTSD, ADHD anxiety, depression, phobias, addiction, sleep issues and lack of direction. Accessing inner wisdom and empowerment provides a place to heal old wounds from a place of strength. I help others experience a bigger perspective: this in turn, helps them to know they are not their stories.

This is a charged moment. Seeking a place to work on yourself, someone who can help you do so... it can feel wild and uncomfortable. I hope you will feel that you can trust me enough to welcome you into this work. To get to know you and work alongside you to find the things that seem to repeat themselves in your life. To understand why - but just as importantly, how - they happen. To create a space in which you will feel seen, heard, and understood. In the way I work, I will address the current situations you bring to therapy and also try and understand them with you in the context of the life you've lived until now.

Welcome! I specialize in addiction/alcoholism, and dealing with loneliness, anxiety, and depression in children, teens, and adults. Are you feeling tired, stressed, and anything but satisfied? Do you need support during a difficult time in your life? Do you feel anxious, sad and wish you knew why? Do you feel like you've tried everything to be a better partner, and parent and nothing you do is working? I'm here to help!

I am a clinical psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health and clinical assistant professor at NYU School of Medicine. I also coordinate the Group Therapy Program at NYU Langone Psychiatry Associates. My expertise is in treating anxiety and related disorders (PTSD, OCD, insomnia, ADHD/executive dysfunction). I have clinical and research experience at hospitals throughout the NYC area and I have completed specialized internships and fellowships. My patients often report feeling more relaxed, less afraid, having improved relationships, and increased life satisfaction at the end of therapy.

More and more, parents are realizing their children are struggling with mental health. The world today can be an overwhelming experience for many young people and families. If you, your child, or your family need some help, I can be the support you need. Through both my personal experience of going through therapy as a teen and now my professional experience of helping children, families, and parents, I feel uniquely qualified to help children, teens, and families navigate this complicated world.

My approach involves exploration of past experiences & beliefs while growing a narrative toward your aspirations. I believe in tailoring the therapeutic process utilizing traditional & creative methods. Using psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches, I aim to provide a deep & spontaneous therapeutic experience in a warm, understanding & safe environment

My hope is that all of my clients will begin to approach both themselves and their world with more gentleness. With so many beautiful moments to capture, do you ever stop and notice what it is that you attend to? These are the things that are filling your life. I believe that small moments are actually opportunities to develop more peaceful encounters with ourselves. Fortunately, we can recreate the way we speak to ourselves. I have over fifteen years of experience and have treated children, adolescents and adults with trauma, depression, anxiety and learning differences.

In a world where so many expectations are placed upon us, therapy is a place where the only expectation is to show up. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, life as an artist, relationships, dating, trauma, loneliness, creative blocks, life transitions, low self-esteem, or other challenges, I’ll hold the space for you to feel heard and understood. In the process, you’ll better understand yourself. I’ve worked with performing artists, adults switching careers, and teens and young adults growing into their authentic selves. I aim to foster an environment for self-discovery and expression.

Self-compassion is a great buzzword, but it's easier said than done. Sometimes you have to avoid or fight feelings and parts of yourself. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, worn out or conflicted. Maybe you are not satisfied with your core relationships. This could be because parts of you are stuck in past experiences and those parts are using the tools they have (like avoidance, self-criticism, anxiety...) to protect you from more pain, even though these tools don't always serve you now. Together, we can welcome and get to know each part of you slowly and safely, and introduce new tools for coping and making change.
