Therapists Beginning With I in New York

I work with clients who are interested in more fulfilling relationships with themselves and the people in their lives, especially as this intersects with their journeys as BIPOC, queer folks, trans (binary, non-binary and gender expansive) folks, allies/accomplices, neurodiverse folks, and people with feminist/social justice values. I help people dream and envision the lives they want, in their bodies, in their sexuality, in their relationships/friendships/families, in their work, in their sphere of influence, and move towards them. I help people heal from patterns that we formed out of survival or socialization & want to grow from.

Growing up can be difficult. Whether your child or adolescent is demonstrating challenging behaviors at home or experiencing stress from school, I am here to help. During the day, I work with children as a school psychologist providing counseling for issues including anxiety, social conflicts, and oppositional behaviors. I also diagnose learning disabilities through assessments and provide consultation to families. In my private practice, I work outside of the confines of the school setting to help children, adolescents, and adults reach their fullest potential and learn to cope with challenging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I work with each client to identify sources of distress and dissatisfaction in their lives, and to overcome obstacles to living a healthy and happy life. I begin therapy by gaining a clear understanding of your strengths as well as areas for growth, and building a strong working alliance. Together we identify therapy goals and formulate a plan to achieve them. I combine cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, DBT and humanistic approaches to tailor a unique therapy plan for each individual. My approach involves listening carefully and asking questions to help guide you to greater understanding about yourself and to make the changes that you seek.

You or a loved one may feel overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or needing to work through past events. As a marriage and family therapist, I offer guidance to couples, families and individuals, who are dealing with issues that affect their mental health and well-being. I believe that providing compassion, a safe space and the efficacy-based treatment for couples and individuals that will help you heal. I assist premarital couples as Prepare & Enrich facilitator. I use techniques such as play therapy, when working with younger children, because I understand that children may not have the words to express their emotions.

My approach emphasizes the integration of culture and the therapeutic approach. I am also invested in an approach emphasizing a more integrative, dynamic, and holistic approach to mental health. I specialize in intergenerational trauma, domestic violence, grief and loss and improving interventions to support trauma recovery for better emotional, physical and relationship health.

Therapy is a process and I know it takes a lot of courage to seek it out. I believe that all of us have in us the right tools to change our lives and achieve our goals. Sometimes, all it takes is a little guidance and support from someone who might have a different perspective. As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide expert services working with adults and adolescents to strengthen their ability to overcome stress, grief and loss, anxiety and depression using specific interventions like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, coaching, and mindfulness training.

I believe in the potential of all human beings to grow, change, and develop in ways that enrich themselves and those around them. Unfortunately, pain is often the touchstone of growth. Explored wisely, however, such pain can lead us to deeper understandings of ourselves and the world around us. Psychotherapy can be a valuable tool for turning our personal pain into personal growth.

Wherever you are in your life’s journey, you don’t have to go through it alone. It can be challenging to understand why we are going through a difficulty in our life, but more importantly, it can be difficult to identify our own needs during these times. As a trained Art Therapist, I utilize talk therapy along with creative self-expression. I work from an intersectional and social justice framework, and as a female therapist of color I am committed to validating personal experiences and intersections of identity including race, ethnicity, and gender.

There are things in our lives that we have control over and other things in our lives that we do not control. Therapy offers the opportunity for us to change and find ways to cope with the things we cannot control. My approach in therapy is to do my best to understand who you are as an individual and help you recognize that you are the expert of your life. I have training and experience with working with individuals from various backgrounds and cultures and understand the importance of not having your experiences feel dismissed.

Seeking therapy takes real courage be it your first time or fifth. Relationships change, self-esteem wavers, bodies transform, major life events occur that place us in uncharted waters, life turns inexplicably difficult. Whatever the reason, therapy is a unique opportunity to examine internal and relational conflicts, tease out unhelpful thoughts and deepen your understanding of yourself in ways that foster empowerment, vitality and creativity.
