Therapists in Chelsea, New York, NY

Hello! I'm Dr. Brian Freidenberg. In therapy, I place the therapeutic relationship above all else. The relationship is the vehicle for change. I believe that a good therapist listens well; is empathic; and provides a safe, empowering, and judgement-free environment. The client and I form a partnership to help the client navigate this great adventure called life. My primary areas of expertise are ADDICTIONS (e.g., substances, sex, video games, phone, social media), ANXIETY, CHILDHOOD and ADOLESCENCE, COLLEGE students, VETERANS, RELATIONSHIPS, TRAUMA, GROUPS, PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, and COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY.

My therapeutic focus is on helping people being challenged by stress, anxiety, traumatic events, loss or grief, relationship issues, sexual difficulties, career problems, addictions and compulsions, and who are seeking to find and develop creativity and meaning in their lives. I work with a diverse range of individuals and couples and have a particular expertise in working with people in transitions. I am trained in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques for the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and stress. I understand the many issues in dealing with international and cross-cultural relationships.

If you are experiencing difficulty in relationships, are having trouble navigating life's challenges, and are motivated to live up to your full potential, you've come to the right place.

I have trained and specialize in several modalities such as EMDR, Forensic, DBT, CBT, Family Therapy, Addictions etc. I provide ongoing assessment, diagnosis, psychotherapy and treatment planning to a socio-culturally diverse adult and adolescent population diagnosed with a full-spectrum of psychiatric disorders including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety-related disorders, substance abuse and dependence, PTSD, ADHD, Post-Partum Depression, Trauma related issues, Family and relationship issues etc.

Dr. Pete approaches clinical work from a cognitive orientation, including a variety of evidence-based treatments while creating an open dialogue about treatment techniques, goals and culture. The main focus is on improving wellbeing and reducing stress including integration of Eastern traditions such as Buddhism and Yoga. This has lead to the authorship of several books and research articles on the utilization of mindfulness for effective leadership, building effective teams, and improving the wellness of high performing professionals (athletes and executives).

In my clinical practice, I believe clients benefit from the ongoing dynamics that build between themselves and the therapist over time. Through my clinical and school psychology training, I am able to approach my work from different perspectives, depending on the needs of the client. I am a licensed psychologist in New York State and a permanently certified School Psychologist, as well.

Feeling different? Do you have a sense that people don’t get you? Do you travel a different path than everybody else? Are you living your life very differently from what other people expect you to? Life can be tough when you feel different. Different can also mean isolated, lonely, and misunderstood. But you can be different and still fit in. That's where I can help.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (Ph.D.) and the founder of Citylink Psychological Services, with extensive experience in treating individuals in New York City. I am also authorized to practice Telehealth across state lines in 39 states through PSYPACT.

My treatment areas focus on mental health issues, medical complications, mood disorder, relationship and workplace conflict, OCD, maladaptive behaviors, and everyday life dissatisfaction.

Navigating life can be a challenge. As a psychologist, I help you identify: (1) problem areas and patterns that are causing distress, (2) the source(s) of these issues, and (3) ways to enact change. Depending upon your individual characteristics, life experiences, history, and cultural background, difficulties can present themselves in numerous ways and color how we experience ourselves, our environment, and our relationships. Furthermore, external circumstances, often beyond our control, can cause or contribute to our struggles and it is important that we have appropriate and effective coping strategies to manage these.

Sometimes it's the small things that throw you off - a kind act goes unappreciated, a loved one doesn't pick up your call, someone cuts in front of you on line - any one of these situations can open a core wound, ushering in anxiety or depression. But what if I told you that you can learn to avoid falling into reactive states and move through your world in serenity and happiness? There resides in you a boundless source of love and joy - a source that together we can tap.

I believe that no universal way of treating people exists. Rather, your cultural identity, personality traits, and presenting issues guide the way that I approach therapy with you. My therapeutic intent is to treat the person not the problem. Therefore, I adhere to a wellness perspective to emphasize strengths and help you develop your sense of self in a collaborative and supportive way.

Therapy is your time, a comfortable, protected space set aside for you to slow down and focus on the things in your life that deserve your attention.

I strive to provide a safe environment where we can work together to establish increased emotional health and life satisfaction.
