Therapists in 11021

I have found that the most important factor in any successful therapy is the chemistry between therapist and the people he/she works with. I use the therapeutic relationship to understand what problems an individual faces outside the office, what blocks them from accomplishing what they want for themselves. A therapeutic relationship is often one of the most intimate and private relationships one can have. I try to help people develop their own sense of agency to gain control over their lives. I believe people want to be seen and heard. I enjoy being able to provide that for them.

My ideal client is an adolescent who is experiencing social-emotional challenges, peer pressures, parental conflict or someone needing someone to talk to which would lead to the need to service and counsel parents who are struggling with communication issues and conflicts in the home which would lead to working with the family to regain understanding, learn how to treat and speak with each other and engage me to bring a sense of normalcy into the total relationship. I also am honored to work with women struggling with the aftermath of a broken relationship, dealing with the stresses of work and family.

In a safe and respectful setting, utilizing traditional and holistic therapies, you can develop skills that bring you into greater partnership with you. As you come to truly know and understand your own unique journey, you will be led to skills that benefit the whole of you. When you feel comfortable within yourself, inner calm becomes readily accessible. Relationships that are sticky become fluid and more enjoyable. Whatever your personal issues, learning to understand and trust your own unique experience becomes the heart of a life well-lived. This is true for adults who see me individually, for couples, and with older kids/teens.

I am a licensed Psychologist with over 30 years of experience treating clients who span all age groups. I have advanced training beyond my Ph.D. that includes a certificate in Psychotherapy from Adelphi University. I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative one in which the client and I work together to explore current concerns, past experiences as they may relate to patterns of behavior, roadblocks to achieving one's goals, leading to an enhanced awareness of one's personal control. Building resilience is the key to coping with the challenges and transitions that life brings.

Life is filled with joy and pain. An emotionally healthy person is able to utilize internal resources to maximize the joy and navigate the pain. For many people, the most significant gratification in life comes from engaging in successful work and satisfying interpersonal relationships. I am interested in working with people to resolve the obstacles that keep them from achieving these goals.

If you have a desire for growth and discovery and can appreciate the value of process-oriented and relational therapy, then I may be the right therapist for you. I will engage you in a way that allows for energetic shifts, so that you have the ability to solve your own problems and remove the blocks to peace and happiness.

Change is always possible. I work from a strengths-based perspective, and I believe that the work of psychotherapy is to help people access untapped resources toward health and vitality. Someone suffering from depression is just that-a person with depression, not a "depressed person"--depression needn't define you. When you walk into my office, we will explore the roadblocks in your life that keep you from moving forward, and make a plan for getting past them.

As a psychotherapist and healer for many years it has been my privilege to offer and provide help and comfort to people in distress. Experience has taught me that we all struggle to recover from the pains of the past, deal with the challenges of the present and the insecurities of the future, in our efforts to live the best lives that we can. This often seems very difficult if not impossible to accomplish alone. A strong and nurturing therapeutic relationship is a powerful and stable foundation for dealing with these challenges to our well-being, especially in these very troubling and uncertain times.

I have always been passionate about my work and derive a tremendous satisfaction helping others. If you are feeling lost, alone and confused, you may not want to share that with others, yet therapy provides a safe haven. Working together on your goals can result in tremendous comfort and relief. It's risky to feel vulnerable but hopeful that you are working towards resolving what needs to be repaired in your most meaningful relationships. I'll be there to hear what concerns you, in your own words without judgment and join you in all celebrations along the way.

I invite you to schedule a free phone call for 15 minutes to answer your questions and concerns, discuss your insurance, and make a recommendation based on your needs. Whether you feel stuck, stressed, or unhappy for too long, I will assist you to identify your goals and figure out the way to change. I am a psychologist who speaks Chinese Mandarin and English in New York with more than 15 years of experience, I have the highest level of doctoral training to help people from different ethnic groups and LGBTQ+ community to overcome the challenges and live the best life possible.

As a licensed clinical psychologist and certified psychoanalyst, I facilitate my clients' efforts toward self-reflection, help them gain a clearer understanding of their life experiences, and bring awareness to their patterns of relating. Although I am also trained in CBT, my orientation is primarily psychodynamic; it promotes self-exploration and insight, along with productive behavior change. I take an active and engaged role with my clients by asking questions, offering alternative perspectives, and suggesting new ways of thinking about issues that may be getting in the way of living a more satisfying life.

I help young people, couples, families and adults with problems in living through brief and long-term therapy as well and through psychoeducational evaluations. Until my recent move from New York to Cambridge, Massachusetts, I ran an externship in working with children and adolescents for many years. I have supervised, taught, presented, and published; I have seen such a variety of problems that I am reluctant to say that I specialize. I approach people as individuals rather than as diagnostic categories, and don't assume a single treatment approach for everyone. The relationship we build is our best tool for making a difference.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in NYC with well over a decade of experience empowering and supporting women through life transitions, losses, and breaking distressing energy draining cycles. Are you struggling in relationships, harshly self-critical, unsure of next steps in building the life you want, a new or seasoned parent and feeling triggered and overwhelmed, or experiencing a recent change or loss? Our work together will help you better attune to yourself and build a life that feels centered, authentic, full and joyful.
