Therapists in 10010

Hello, I appreciate you creating time to be here. I'm Jean Messeroux (he/him), a Licensed Psychotherapist and Wellness Coach. With a background as an educator and social worker, I'm passionate about supporting mental health journeys. I hold a Bachelor's in English and African-American Studies from UMass Amherst and a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University. Beyond therapy, I'm a creative entrepreneur, using photography and design for healing and self-expression. Let's connect!

Sometimes we feel weighed down with difficulty making changes. Anxiety or depression can block us from moving towards our goals. Navigating relationships can be complicated and feel overwhelming. History of trauma can effect our present lives. In these times, we need a supportive, objective person to help us find our way. Let's work together to develop a plan that fits your needs and values and can ease some of the tensions.

You may be wondering what your last relationship has taught you. You may feel like your current job or school has you stuck. Maybe you're in the process of coming out, in the myriad of ways that means, and you're looking for help to process it. Maybe I can help. You are the *expert in your own life* and we will be co-creating this healing space, the therapeutic alliance.

Working as a clinical therapist, business executive, startup founder, and coach over the past 12 years, I combine effective somatic coaching and therapeutic skills, wisdom, and perspective gained from my own healing journey. I work primarily with men who want to live healthier, more integrated and authentic lives. I teach men the skills necessary to better manage stress and to be more present, ultimately leading to success in their personal and professional lives. My approach is a combination of somatic awareness, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral, and the 12-step recovery model.

I grew up in Jamaica with my mother and grandmother, and I remember witnessing them offering informal social work and therapy to many persons in need within our community. They were the kind of people others turned to for assistance, resources, advice, a listening ear, and a dose of reality. Their genuine concern and openness taught me therapy doesn't begin in an office; it starts with authentic human connection. I learned that it is important to understand our clients' diverse backgrounds so they can find a sanctuary where respect, honesty, and professionalism reign.

The quest for clarity, for contentment is exhausting and that "Life Is Good" banner taunts us mercilessly. Often, life isn't good - no matter how good we appear to others. Talking about our hopes, dreams, expectations and disappointments can be hard, but it's the best way to make better sense of our desire and the emotionality that necessarily comes with it.

My passion is to help clients make life changes that bring confidence, fulfillment and authenticity. As a Core Energetics Practitioner, with over fifteen years of experience, I help clients reengage their flow, purpose and direction. We can easily lose our sense of direction when struggles take over, whether those struggles are personal, relational or financial. We can find ourselves stuck in survival mode, depressed and anxious. Thoughts and movements become blocked and disconnected; we no longer feel in the flow of life. 

Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That's part of what it means to be alive. (Murakami). Loss is a part of life - of loved ones, hopes and dreams, relationships, a sense of safety. If you’ve lost your sense of self, I can help you return to yourself. If you’ve lost your professional mojo, I can guide you to rediscover it. I provide a holding space for you so you can move forward with strength and optimism, and eventually find meaning, growth and a renewed sense of purpose. Remember - there is no way out but through.

As a philosophical counselor, I utilize philosophical tools and theories to help my clients rationally address common issues that arise in life, and in doing so, learn to think more clearly, critically and deeply about them. Most of the issues we face every day are not pathological—they are not the result of mental illness—but rather just a part of life. These include questions about what career to pursue, or how to deal with a relationship issue, or how to find meaning in your life, or cope with the loss of a loved one, or resolve an ethical dilemma or to get clear on what fundamental values one holds or ought to hold.

I specialize in working with people who are committed to enhancing their lives through self-exploration under the guidance of a highly trained professional. I work with adults who desire a better understanding of themselves and look for freedom in how they experience their emotional life and the world around them. I am also the Founder and Clinical Director of Gotham Mental Health Group, PLLC, a Flatiron (and Northern Westchester) based group private practice. We offer individual, couples, family and group psychotherapy. www.gothammft.com

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. Maybe you micromanage yourself, frequently strive for the approval of others or have a fear of never being good enough. In our work together, I will support you in creating a safe and forgiving sense of self every step of the way.

I have found that my top skill sets lie in working with children, teens, and adults within individual, group, and couples therapeutic settings. I help individuals who are struggling with anxiety, stress, LGBTQIA+ navigation, life transitions, and other obstacles in life we all face.

Life in today’s world isn’t easy: online dating, social media, remote work, global uncertainty…the list goes on. I specialize in guiding young adults and couples as they navigate it all. My clients are working through life transitions, relationship challenges, career uncertainty, self-esteem issues, or just want someone to talk to regularly. My role is to identify the right tools to move through these obstacles so you can begin to thrive.

Things are not going the way you want. Maybe you're having the same struggles you've had before. You're stressed, anxious, unhappy. You have many responsibilities, you're frustrated, under so much pressure. But, at the end of the day, you don't have the relationship or life you want. It seems easier for other people. You may be feeling alone or lonely. It eats away at your confidence. In private you might question your self-worth, think you're not good enough. Maybe others think you have it all together, or they rely on you. It is especially confusing if you are successful in other areas. You are used to fixing things on your own.
