Jewish Therapists in Round Top, NY

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.

Wouldn't it be great if your therapist didn't just listen to you, but helped YOU listen to yourself? You know, that Self that gets lost among all your responsibilities and commitments and social media and stress and all the things you tell yourself...all that stuff that makes you feel fragmented and overwhelmed. I excel at helping people discover themselves amidst the noise of life. Understanding yourself is the key to getting "unstuck" and moving towards healing, success, and growth.

Creating a safe, warm, and collaborative environment is important to me in building meaningful and supportive relationships with my clients. Everyone, I believe, deserves a fulfilling life, and sometimes life can be overwhelming. My therapeutic approach is to help you identify your patterns, new insights, coping skills, and your strengths moving forward. Working together, you can look forward to a better understanding of yourself and your relationships. I am committed to helping people access a deeper and re-energized connection with themselves, with others, and with the world around them.

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 have years of experience working with folks of all ages in various settings towards their mental health and life goals. With curiosity, humor, and compassion, I strive to create a space to explore the oftentimes messy worlds within and around us. I believe we all have an innate profound ability to heal ourselves that can be activated with the right support.

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.

Sadness and fear live inside us all. At times, we are so used to feeling depressed and anxious that it seems as though there is no point to try and work through these struggles. But there is a part of us that wonders- maybe there is a way to find contentment in life? Maybe there is a way to make peace with pain? Maybe I do not need to feel so alone? In our therapy practice, we provide you with clinicians who are both skilled at their work as therapists and empathic and warm human beings. We value creating an accepting and safe environment whereby you feel comfortable expressing your struggles and fears.

Is current life testing your ability to cope? Have chronic concerns persisted? My therapeutic style facilitates health in response to many struggles; anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship conflicts, grief, as well as, sexual, emotional, and physical trauma to improve your quality of life. With supportive use of psychodynamic knowledge and Somatic Experiencing, emotional resilience emerges. Assessing where progress can flourish, we use the most relevant methods for addressing your specific needs. I offer therapy that addresses acute and chronic issues, fostering healing by the integration of past, present, body and mind.

I invite you to share a therapeutic experience with me to explore and uncover your true essence, manage your emotional pain, and work to shift your internal view of yourself to a positive awareness of who you genuinely are. In NY/NJ, I work well with issues such as: anxiety; depression; trauma; self esteem; single parents; familial and other relationships.

Life can be overwhelming, and it’s okay to seek support. I have over 25 years of experience helping clients improve their mental health through therapy. I work with clients who want to feel better. Many clients have stated that "I have it all but I am still not happy". We will look for the source of unhappiness and work to change your thoughts, feelings, and reactions. My clients describe me as easy to talk to, warm and humorous. I often give "homework" assignments to my clients to reinforce our discussion from sessions. I aim to have my client feel better and take away skills that will last a lifetime,

I’m Tanya, a Queer, Xennial, born and raised New Yorker from a blended family. Mental health is a second career for me, after working over 15 years in business and corporate finance, a world I left in 2012 after an experience with psychedelics that changed my self-concept as well as the trajectory of my life. Since that experience, I have immersed myself in advocacy for people who use drugs, using a harm reduction lens. I don’t believe in psychedelic exceptionalism, but I do believe in them as a possible alternative means healing and self discovery. In addition to a connection with the psychedelic community
