Therapists in New York

My objective as a Marriage and Family therapist is to collaborate with my clients, while providing a safe and non-judgmental space, to examine solutions toward stress together. I can assist individuals, couples, and families to improve their communication skills, coping methods, and boundaries to progressively move forward. Though I may be viewed as a relational expert, my diverse experience of working with multiple backgrounds, and age ranges has allowed me to understand that clients are truly the experts of their own lives, and can achieve their goals with courage as well as guidance, which I intend to provide.

My clinical work draws from an integrative systemic approach that includes; structural, family of origin, intergenerational trauma transmission, cognition, narrative practice, social justice perspective, experiential, insight oriented, communication skills building, collaborative, and differences in perspective that clients hold about their problem.

As we make our way through life, we are often forced to give up parts of ourselves in order to survive and belong. Many of our defenses, developed early on, may hinder our wholeness as adults while contributing to a sense of “stuckness.” I believe that we are innately wired for healing, and that provided with a safe environment our healing capacity is activated as we listen to, feel, and process our core emotions. Emotions carry our stories, and when not processed properly can lodge themselves in our bodies and manifest in various unhealthy ways.

I believe that individuals hold a great deal of expertise about their own lives. Psychotherapy is not a process of prescription, but rather one of co-exploration. In my view, a therapeutic alliance grounded in empathy, curiosity, and shared purpose can be the site of profound healing and insight generation.

I understand you might feel stuck in the past or the same negative loop and haven’t found any meaningful progress by talking to yourself, your family, or friends. My goal is not only to give you the tools to relieve your symptoms and better cope with specific situations but also to transform your narrative and generate sustainable growth. I use an integrative and tailored approach to meet your needs and cultural values. Combining systemic and relational framework, and mindfulness practice, I’ll help you gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and align them to achieve what you most value in life.

Ideal clients are open to change, introspection, and vulnerability. Therapy can be a scary process; We look at ourselves and our lives with the goals of making a change for the better, or maybe a deeper understanding of ourselves. It's my goal to build a relationship with you so we can explore yourself, and your life together, in a safe and enlightening way. It's my experience that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. Feeling safe with your therapist is paramount, and it's what I prioritize in my own practice. I want you to feel comfortable to be vulnerable, and explore yourself.

Clients often arrive at my door carrying it all on their backs wishing to make sense of their experiences, and their stories. They are uncertain of how they've gotten to be where they are. They wish to know themselves wholly. They wish to live deliberately and to know where they belong. They hope to trust themselves. They crave an authentic connection to self. They seek permission to rest. They long for freedom and to feel empowered when they look in the mirror. They have been through the thick of it, have had to become resilient and feel called to finally come home to themselves with love and gentleness.

As your therapist, I am present, listen actively and reflectively, with compassion and empathy. My approach is patient and allows clients, like yourself, to set the pace that feels right for them. Through individual, couple and family therapy, I assist clients in improving communication, managing emotions, navigating relationship issues, working through life transitions, and overcoming obstacles like anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and trauma. My goal is to empower you to gain self-awareness, build resilience and reconnect with your sense of purpose and fulfillment.

If you are dealing with anxiety, poor body image, trust or intimacy issues, suicidal thoughts, mood swings, a complicated relationship with eating, and recent or past traumas, I want you to know that feeling grounded and connected is within reach. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families with these exact concerns for years. Your life's problems may seem impossible or difficult to overcome, and you may feel anxious about "explaining it all" to a therapist who is also a stranger. My goal is to lay those fears to rest.

In my eyes, one of the most powerful aspects of therapy is the relationship that forms between the therapist and the client. The process of establishing a safe and supportive partnership makes room for us to collaborate on rewarding emotional work. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and supported along your journey of self-discovery, and to help you find resilience, authenticity, healing, and self-love. My approach begins with warmth and having an open-mind. I am here to help guide you towards the goals that you set for yourself.

Feelings of hopelessness, shame, and grief can keep us feeling stuck. Depression and anxiety can be overwhelming, making it difficult to move forward and live our lives to the fullest. If you're here, it's because you're seeking change, and by taking this first step of seeking help, you're already on the pathway to healing - you're already doing the hard work! I want to acknowledge that seeking help takes courage, and I'm here to face the hard things with you and help you work through any wounds you may have experienced.

It is in my belief that we are all intrinsically whole, deserving and worthy of love and meaningful connections. However, somewhere along the way we have incurred pain and hurtful experiences that have tainted our story and lens of how we see the world and ourselves. Sometimes the narrative runs so deep that we can’t stop the thoughts and feelings that flow continuously. In this way, everyday feels like a struggle. Perhaps you secretly feel lost and lonely or you struggle with feelings of anxiety, insecurity or sadness and are uncertain about how to navigate the complexity of your emotions. Wherever you are - your story matters.

I have a passion for empowering young adults in navigating the complexities of emerging adulthood and those who are interested in self-exploration and growth. Whether it’s adjusting to a new stage of life, academic pressures, navigating career changes, identity exploration or relationship challenges, I strongly believe we all deserve someone who can support us through these life transitions. Together, we'll explore your values, goals, and fears, uncovering the inner resources you need to navigate life's twists and turns with grace and resilience.

I have immense passion collaborating with clients coping with the effects of intergenerational trauma. Good new day, my name is Tuesday Taylor, a Drama Therapy graduate from New York University. Originally from Appalachia, for the past 12 years I have worked with put-at-risk youth and families co-creating a supportive environment to explore suppressed emotions. I am steadfast in joining the client on a restorative voyage utilizing interdisciplinary techniques of creative arts and talk therapy methods. Our therapeutic passage may include narrative story, psychodrama practices, and role theory.

My goal is to arm you with tools to find a more fulfilling way of living; therapeutic tools that follow you out of my office door and into your life. I have learned firsthand how a strong therapeutic relationship can create an opportunity for transformative change. That is why the alliance between therapist and client is of utmost importance to me. By integrating clinical theory, mindfulness, and yes, even humor, I help clients cultivate insight, self-acceptance, healthy boundaries, increased intimacy, and clarity of direction allowing depression, anxiety, and relationship problems to be relieved.

Are you feeling isolated in your relationships? While romance may begin in an instant, long-term relationships are not easy to maintain alone. No matter where you are in your relationship, seeking guidance, opening the lines of communication, and establishing safety in emotional expression are the cornerstones of any lasting and fulfilling relationship. I aim to empower my clients to realize the strengths they already possess. I work with them, both individually and as couples and families, to utilize those unique strengths to develop a positive narrative for their lives and relationships.
