Therapists in New York

How can we make deeper changes when we are trying to manage unusual pain, or are just handling our day-to-day suffering? When we feel safe and accepted as we are, we can challenge ourselves to grow, and to encounter others in an authentic way. I aim to create, with you, a safe place where we get to know your habitual patterns of behaving and relating, and explore less familiar sides of you that may offer surprising possibilities for thinking, feeling, relating and living. How can deepening awareness enliven, balance, support, un-stick, sustain or change your life? Let's find out!

Feya Health is a woman-owned, Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy group practice, featured on MTV. Our Integrative approach helps clients address their self-destructive patterns by getting to the core and root of their issues. The result is a drastic reduction in the initial presenting symptoms over a short period of time. We offer a comprehensive, integrative & customizable approach to the Ketamine & Oxytocin Therapy Process and specialize in EMDR, PTSD, CPTSD, human optimization and Pharmaceutical Medication withdrawal.

Have you ever experienced a pattern of negativity? Examples of this could be engaging in the same toxic friendships or relationships repetitively, having the same fights over and over with your family, or continuing to work in a job you hate for years and cannot seem to make a change? Intellectually, you may know that these things are changeable and a problem, but emotionally there is something that is keeping you stuck.

We are a psychotherapy practice located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, offering virtual and in-person sessions. We provide individual therapy, couples counseling, group therapy, costume therapy, and psychedelic integration. We specialize in serving the LGBTQIA+ community, and we are also an excellent match for those who subscribe to non-traditional lifestyles. However you identify, we strive to truly know you as an individual - your values, beliefs, and outlook on life - while also maintaining an appreciation for overarching human needs, such as the desire for connection with others and the longing to feel understood.

The mission of Gorham Mental Health Counseling is to help clients to CONNECT to their whole self and HEAL their whole self. If you are ready to make a shift in your life, and feel truly connected to SELF, then please Contact Me! The approach to gaining access to your system is through compassion, curiosity, and kindness. Internal Family Systems is a model created to understand ourselves from a systems lens, so you can learn why the different parts in you, interact the way they do. If your goals in therapy are about understanding yourself better, in a non judgmental process, IFS may be a great fit for you!

As we walk through life, our experiences can often leave us feeling disconnected or even shattered; however, life also offers opportunities to heal in the deepest sense of the word. In our work together, it is my intention to walk alongside you as you find your way to your highest, most centered self. In my work, I have found that everyone collects trauma along the way and that within the context of a therapeutic relationship, meaning can be created and transformation occurs.

Each session, I will help you navigate your thoughts, feelings, and actions related to a variety of topics that you bring to the table. I will increase your awareness around how you view and interpret the world. Some of your beliefs may not be serving you and we can challenge them and change them together.

These days, we are busy and stressed. It seems that the tasks never end, and the work never stops. Everyday seems to have something new that can potentially bring down a delicate balance that we have worked so hard to achieve. We hear about self-care and work/life balance, but we struggle to do these things. You want to do it all but there never seems to be enough time. Sometimes work, school, family, friends, or anything else makes it difficult for you to have some time to process and think.

Our human experience can be challenging. Sometimes we ponder about ourselves, our significance in this world, our relationships and the societal hardships we encounter. Other times, we spend our moments living in our past experiences while also worrying about future outcomes. Whether, these thoughts are due to anxiety, depression or past trauma, I am here to lead you through the woods.

Each of us is deserving of joy and peace, and I am here to help you claim yours. In therapy, we will collaboratively explore the barriers that stand between you and your most authentic self so that you may live fully and enjoy who you truly are. I treat individuals and couples with a variety of issues related to body trust/kindness, trauma, LGBTQIA+-specific issues, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and more. My approach is collaborative and kind in nature with mindfulness, DBT, and Internal Family Systems incorporated as needed. Body respect, trust, and the principles of Health at Every Size are foundational to my approach.

As a therapist, I work collaboratively with my clients to identify and achieve their goals. I believe that within each of us lives an innate drive towards wholeness and transformation. Some people call this drive an "inner healer". Through cultivating greater self-awareness and acceptance of the patterns and behaviors we want to change, I believe we can make way for this natural process of transformation to emerge to live life more fully and authentically.

Not sure where to start? Searching for the "right" words? Concerned about talking to a 'complete stranger' about your anxiety/depression, relationship/work struggles, AD[H]D/ creativity blocks? Sure I "know" about people's struggles, individually & as couples -- and how to overcome these-- as well as different approaches to therapy. I have listened to & helped many folks over 35 years as a NYState Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Certified Adult Psychoanalyst. In addition, I have been an Adjunct Associate Professor (at NYU, Brooklyn College, & several NYC psychoanalytic institutes); I was in my own analysis; & I continue to supervise less experienced clinicians.

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.

We all face a time when life and the ever-moving, demanding parts of it exceed our typical ways of coping and we are unable to manage our lives healthily. Maybe you don’t know what you are looking for, or perhaps it has become clear to you that your present struggles have become too overwhelming to deal with alone and you need support. I offer an engaged and collaborative relationship to better understand core problems and emotional conflicts that get in the way of having a fulfilling and meaningful life.

The most important part of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. I pride myself in building strong, caring therapeutic alliances. I have expertise in treating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, phobias, and PTSD. Nobody likes to admit that they need help, but sometimes it can be a life transforming opportunity.

I am a licensed clinical social worker working with adults (18 years+) managing life transitions, relationship challenges (family, friends, partners, coworkers), general and acute anxiety, depression, struggles with self-esteem and body image, and coping with the stressors of college (both undergraduate and graduate levels, both academic and non-academic related). I have experience working in the health care field, including discussing grief/loss, living with a chronic illness, being a caregiver, receiving a life changing diagnosis, and being familiar with what it's like to work in a health care setting.

I value working with individuals from all walks of life and understand the importance of a judgment-free environment for one to express themselves freely. I gained experience providing therapy for individuals suffering from addiction, Depression/Anxiety, ADHD, OCD, attachment disorders, childhood trauma, personality disorders as well as everyday life stressors. As we enter different phases in our lives, it can be difficult to adjust, and this is where certain tools can be used to facilitate changes as smoothly as possible. I also specialize in women’s issues, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

Solution-Oriented Therapy with Empathy and Kindness....The problems and dilemmas that you bring to therapy: These are the sparks that will propel you forward towards your healing. We discuss and explore your issues, and then we integrate what you learn into your daily life. We move as slowly or as quickly as you are comfortable with, in an atmosphere that is safe and contained, creating a path to hope, insight and personal strength. After 30 years helping others heal from and handle difficult situations as well as reach their dreams, it is clear to me that taking action steps - even tiny steps - is key to moving forward.
