Therapists in Carnegie Hill, New York, NY

Psychotherapy is a collaborative, exciting endeavor and represents the hope that something new can happen in our lives. I treat individuals suffering from a wide range of problems: anxiety, depression, troubled relationships, marital distress, eating disorders, learning difficulties, ADHD in children and adults, and women with female cancers. I specialize in work with adolescents, college students and young adulthood. I also enjoy working with adults in middle age and with individuals who are struggling with the challenges of aging and loss. Most importantly, I tailor therapy to each person's particular concerns and needs.

I specialize in working with young -- middle aged adults who have been dealing with a range of issues: anxiety, depression, relationships, mood disorders, natural transitions (e.g. marriage, career changes), substance abuse, and trauma. During my 19 years of experience, I have worked with clients of diverse backgrounds. My therapeutic work is a combination of psychotherapeutic and cognitive behavioral approaches applied to individualized, interactive therapy. I am a graduate of Yale College and the Columbia University School of Social Work. I have a certificate from the Training Institute of Mental Health in Psychoanalytic Therapy.

For over 25 years I have been privileged to become closely involved with patients and their challenges. I value my relationship with each patient and couple, and provide a safe, warm environment. My goal is to bring about positive change by alleviating problems and providing relief from symptoms. Extensive training and experience combined with warmth and individualized attention are the ingredients which enable me to help my patients successfully achieve their goals. Since every individual and situation is different, I match the treatment to the patient, and not the patient to the treatment.

Are you or a loved one feeling stuck - uncertain about navigating changes in your life, how you see yourself, or how to reconnect with those close to you?

We can work together to break down your thoughts and uncertainties, determine the best way forward, and put practical strategies into action, to empower you to create the life you want for yourself.

Let's figure out the next steps together.

Managing complex emotions and past traumas can be challenging, especially when trying to balance the difficulties of everyday life. It can often feel overwhelming to try to address these feelings on your own, though not addressing them can often be even more painful. In my practice, I seek to help my clients work through their challenges and become more aware of their patterns and thought processes. I provide clients with an empathetic and affirming space that allows them to feel comfortable tackling their issues, yet I also aim to challenge my clients to look beyond the obvious and recognize damaging behaviors.

I have expertise in supporting individuals through a diverse array of challenges, including depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, life and career transitions, low self-esteem, and relationship issues. Additionally, I specialize in working with individuals diagnosed as highly sensitive persons (HSPs). Drawing from a deep understanding of the unique traits and sensitivities associated with HSPs, I offer personalized and empathetic support customized to meet each client's individual needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in depression, anxiety, personality disorders, the psychological impact of medical problems, eating disorders, and substance use disorder. I am also a CASAC (Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor). Having been a hospital based social worker at New York Presbyterian Hospital, I have teamed with psychiatrists and other physicians and am comfortable communicating with referring doctors. I work closely with a Cornell professor of psychiatry in my suite, who will quickly do a psychiatric assessment when appropriate and provide medication treatment, if needed.

The foundation of my work is built on trust, empathy, and non-judgement. I adhere to a holistic person-centered approach recognizing your journey is uniquely your own, and therefore, so should your pathway to recovery. We will work collaboratively, tailoring interventions to meet your needs, recognizing and honoring your strengths, and addressing challenges with strategies that respect your autonomy and individuality. It is through this collaboration that we form a partnership, one that empowers you to develop skills, gain insights, and make sustainable changes to become the person you always wanted to be.

I work with people who are curious about their own lives and are interested in knowing themselves better, often in the hope of increasing self-esteem and gaining more control over the choices they make. The work of therapy can be invaluable in findng new ways of living and relating especially when anxiety and fear cut off possibilities and keep a person feeling stuck. While I don't believe in cookie cutter approaches to therapy, I find than many clients benefit from challenging negative self-talk, learning to listen to their bodies, and investigating unwanted patterns that persist in their lives. I've trauma training including EMDR.
