Lesbian Therapists in 10028

I am a compassionate, authentic, and concerned psychologist with over 30 years of experience treating adults, adolescents, and seniors. My specialties include narcissism, men's issues, marriage and relationship counseling, gay and lesbian treatment, and parent counseling. The bulk of my practice is individual psychotherapy. I provide a safe and nurturant environment with a cognitive behavioral approach combined with a dose of humor. I accept Aetna and Blue Cross but my services are available for out of network reimbursement.

Seeking a psychotherapist is often a decision made as a result of a crisis or when feeling a heightened level of personal discomfort. This decision takes strength, motivation and a desire to begin the process of exploration and development of greater personal insight and strategic ways of coping with existing circumstances. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 30 years of experience working with adults who have sought therapy to assist them in; improving self esteem, management/reduction of anxiety, mood disorders, relationship/intimacy issues, and those who desired a greater understanding of their behaviors and feelings.

I work with artists, couples, people with chronic illness, and young adults with separation and intimacy issues, seeking to find who they are. We consider how "old issues" sometimes interfere in our moving forward. I help individuals pick good partners and feel safe letting someone get close to them. I also help them to set appropriate boundaries with their parents and others. I reduce my fees to what is affordable for the client. I enjoy working with couples and understand cultural differences, having a Ph.D. In Russian, and lived in Russia and France, and worked with Asians, Latinos, Russians, Mormons, and Orthodox Jews.

I have 13 years of experience as a licensed clinician. I find the most important step is to create a comfortable, safe, and supportive environment for everyone I work with. We work together to strengthen motivation, create meaningful goals, and build a strong rapport. I passionately believe in empowering my clients and helping them become stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed in areas of your life including career, relationships, family; or notice you are repeating the same patterns? Perhaps, you are looking for ways to create a more balanced life and build closer relationships. Maybe you are looking for more fulfillment and meaning than your job provides, or experiencing unhappiness but you are unsure what to do about it. I understand that life can be hectic and sometimes we can get caught up in the events of daily life, experiencing anxiety or doubts about ourselves.

I’m a holistic psychotherapist trained to provide high quality, compassionate support to children, teens, and young adults navigating challenges of anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, stress, self esteem, and disordered eating. I have a particular passion for serving the LGBTQ+ community and work from a gender- and sexuality-affirming perspective. My experience in a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness, allows me to tailor my therapeutic approach to your unique goals and needs.

I believe that genuine relationships have the power to heal. And the relationship between a client and therapist is a particularly unique bond. Irvin Yalom has described this relationship as one of 'fellow travelers' on an adventure of mutual growth and discovery. As your fellow traveler, I’ll stand alongside you as an active collaborator on your journey. My hope is that together we can uncover the most expansive and alive version of yourself. Together we will create a space where all parts of you are welcome. As women and queer people, we’re often conditioned to think there are fragments of ourselves that must remain hidden.

You should not have to face life transitions alone or silently. Therapy should feel collaborative and authentic for it to be most effective. Together, I work with my clients to unpack any negative thought patterns that could make them feel anxious, scared, or stuck. I am honored to be on the journey with clients as they increase their emotional awareness and start to make the changes needed to become the best version of themselves.

It is not uncommon to have periods in your life when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, and in need of support. Therapy helps you to uncover and utilize your inner and outer resources so that you can live the life that you want. As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in working with people coping with depression, anxiety, life transitions, recovery from trauma, exploring sexual and gender identity, and managing chronic illness. Each year I become more inspired by my clients' courage and growth.

A truly fantastic therapist can be life changing. Learning to be honest with ourselves while sharing intimate details of our lives can be overwhelming for some, especially those who are in vulnerable positions. I truly believe that what is mentionable, is manageable. I provide a safe space where all can feel validated, appreciated and heard while developing a unique treatment plan tailored to the client's most pressing and specific needs. I mainly work from a solution oriented approach, where one can explore openly, without bias, the most inner and special aspects of themselves.

Are you an adult navigating the challenges of school, career, and relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain about your future? I am a biracial and multicultural psychotherapist who specializes in working with adults, couples, and college and graduate students. I understand the unique challenges that you may be facing, and I am here to help you navigate this uncertain time. I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Together, we will develop strategies to help you reclaim your life and flourish.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or alone? Does your child seem unhappy, defiant, or insecure? The moment you schedule an intake appointment, you are no longer alone. I understand that the process of beginning treatment can seem difficult, and I value the courage it takes to make that first contact call or email. I'll be right there on the other side to help you navigate the process.

Life is filled with uncertainty. The journey towards self-discovery and lasting change can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm here to guide you through the process of unlocking your potential and creating the life you envision.Drawing from your past experiences – your childhood, family dynamics, and the influence of your journey through school and beyond – we will work together to piece together the puzzle of your life. By understanding the origins of your thoughts and behaviors, we can gain valuable perspective.

Hi and welcome to my practice. I have been treating children, adolescents, adults and families for almost 40 years.

In our work together, we form a safe, trusting relationship where you can share experiences, resolve challenges, and learn to approach life with more confidence, humor, and joy. I have been treating clients for over twenty years, from many different cultures, countries, and backgrounds. My style is best described as respectful, sincere, and empathic. I completed my Ph.D. in clinical psychology, have a specialty in couples, family, and bereavement therapy, and have post-doctoral training in psychoanalysis at New York University.

My goal is to create a safe space for my clients on their journey to personal growth and healing. I believe that everyone's story is unique to them and will develop a personalized approach for each client using evidence based treatment.

My aim as a clinical psychologist is to help my clients lead more fulfilling and meaningful lives. We work together to understand and work through obstacles that have been hampering them. I’ve seen many times how that work can not only relieve distress but make possible richer and more satisfying relationships, new ways of dealing with difficulties, and a new sense of self.

You deserve to feel well; Let's get you there. Our work together is designed to cultivate greater contentment in your life. We all experience challenge, often around our relationships, our work, our health, and caring for our children and loved ones. These experiences can provoke anxiety, fear and uncertainty. Having a safe, nonjudgmental space in which to work through these moments can be profoundly helpful and often facilitate swifter resolution. I am trained in a wide number of modalities including EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems) Relational and Psychodynamic psychotherapy, among others.

Dealing with various types of trauma and the ways in which it can impact our daily lives can be challenging. I am here to help you understand that your trauma does not define you, your trauma reactions are valid and I’d like to support you in the development of healthy coping skills. This will allow you the freedom to transcend beyond traumatic experiences, forging a new path toward growth, healing, recovery and wellness. I can help you navigate and cope with addiction/substance use, PTSD, depression, anxiety, life transitions, identity related issues, and family/interpersonal relationships.
