Therapists in New York

You are unique. Using a client-centered approach, I work with your individual needs and focus for therapy. Sometimes a person may seek change in their lives or want to process their unresolved experiences and understand themselves better. Whether you are sad about the past or worried about the future, I am well versed in multiple therapeutic modalities to be able to help.

Are you feeling like no matter how hard you try, there always seems to be something holding you back from your most joyful, peaceful and authentic life? I believe that your pain and struggle isn’t a problem to be solved, but actually contains within it the exact wisdom you need to reach your highest potential. As your therapist, I’m interested in helping you access that wisdom - in gently getting to the root of what has been missing for you on the level of mind, body, and spirit. I firmly believe that we’re all wired to heal, and that it is entirely possible to resolve the core wounds and patterns that are holding you back.

I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling life, as joy is our natural state of being. Through generational trauma, and various other events that transpire through one's life, the mind, body and spirit get coated with pain. I work with clients who desire to move past this pain. I believe that healing takes place by transcending limiting beliefs and feelings that are often found on a subconscious level. By uprooting these thoughts and feelings and processing the pain that may arise, the goal is to transcend them to live a more joyous life.

Sometimes people seek therapy because of painful situations, or they're unclear about which path to take. Sometimes they're trying to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood. And sometimes they have a more biological problem - ADD, depression, mood swings - and want to lead a rich and satisfying life despite these problems. I will help you to figure out the source of your problems, and find solutions. For twenty-four years I've worked with a wide range of patients with a variety of issues. I've taught Psychology at Smith College, and graduate students and candidates at the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center.

We have all been through times in our lives where we could benefit from talking to someone. At Quiet Mind Therapy Services, we are honored to be that person to you. We truly believe you can get over the difficult time you are having, and gain skills to better manage. Maybe you have been in therapy or counseling before, and are tired of focusing on the past? Our goal at Quiet Mind Therapy Services is helping you to move forward and solve the issues, not just talk about them.

Making the decision to pursue therapy can be a complex one. Whether it's better understanding your relationship with substances, tolerating a difficult life situation, striving for balance, or if the goal is self-exploration, the journey of psychotherapy can be an opportunity to grow. Building strengths in a safe and supportive partnership can pave way towards living a more satisfying life.

The world can be a complicated, confusing, and really overwhelming place, and we all develop our own ways of coping. Sometimes we reach a point where we realize some of our strategies need to change. I strongly believe that removing the shame and stigma associated with certain coping mechanisms and behaviors is integral to adjusting them. I work with clients to identify, and have compassion for, why they enact certain responses, behaviors, and patterns, and develop new ones that meet their current needs and desires.

Is your relationship not where it used to be? Or where you want it to be? Do you sometimes feel so disconnected and distant that you wonder how did we get to this place? Perhaps there has been a betrayal or deep hurt. Perhaps there has been a lot of stress or outside distractions and within all that you found yourselves alone and distant. Do you find yourselves rehashing the same arguments and not sure how to get out of this crazy making cycle? You want to feel connected again and strengthen your relationship. I can help you rediscover and build on the connection you once had. Actually, it can be stronger than what you once had.

My ideal client is someone who desires to improve the quality of their life. Someone who feels stuck in certain behavior patters or thought patterns and wants to live their full life with joy and contentment. Clients who want to wake up each day with confidence and the tolerance level to manage their thought and feeling and making choices that expand their life and capacity to be in it.

I strive to create an environment where you feel safe working through unresolved issues in an effort to expand your capacity for a fulfilling life. I will help you recognize personal strengths and resources and develop a stronger sense of resiliency. When we understand that most of our suffering doesn't come from feeling pain, but from all the ways we avoid confronting or dealing with our unresolved issues, we learn how to reduce our suffering.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling to manage trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, mood swings, dissociation, or other aspects of your mental health? Do these struggles impact your relationships or wellbeing? I am happy to support your journey of understanding and addressing these concerns. My approach incorporates a feminist perspective, and begins with collaboration and connection. I want to take time to explore your goals and obstacles, while also getting to know you as a person. You are the expert on your life, so I view therapy as a collaborative team approach that allows me to serve as a supportive guide.

I work mostly with women who experience issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, rage, feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed. I also assist people struggling with depression and anxiety related to everyday life issues. I am trained in EMDR which reduces negative emotion associated with trauma. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing has drastically changed how I approach trauma and has made a world of difference for the people I work with. Most of the people I work with need validation, insight and support and sometimes struggle with reaching out for help.

When children, teens, or young adults show mood or behavioral changes or are going through a difficult period of transition, I can help. In the supportive setting of therapy, we can find constructive ways to understand feelings, manage problem behaviors, and communicate effectively with others. We can work in a more open, exploratory way or a more structured, goal-oriented way depending on your individual needs. I also collaborate with parents and outside professionals for more wholistic care.

I am currently accepting new clients. I offer a warm, empathetic, judgment-free, and safe space for adults. This space will invite you to explore all parts of yourself and create more meaning in your lives. I believe that individual challenges are unique to your experiences, circumstances, cultural and spiritual beliefs, and personal identity. I find that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist. With this uniquely beautiful relationship, I believe the path to healing is more accessible.

Hi! My name is Dr. Nicole King and I am a therapist at Madison Park Psychological Services in NYC. I am currently taking on new patients, and would love to meet you! If you or someone you know is struggling with any variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, mood imbalance, emotional instability, personality disturbance, interpersonal conflict/relationship issues, trauma/PTSD, couple's or family disruption, behavioral issues, ASD, or ADHD, I might be a good fit for you! I am committed to creating a warm, safe environment where we can explore these issues together as well as providing actionable skills to help.

I am a Licensed and Board-certified Clinical Psychologist with over 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, drug, alcohol and process addiction and PTSD. I have also been fortunate to serve as a LGBTQ+ Veteran care coordinator at the VA medical center. In that role I provided psychological evaluations of TransX Veteran's readiness to start hormone treatment and provided LGBTQ+ affirmative psychotherapy.

As of 3/16/20 teletherapy is offered to promote public health safety. I provide psychotherapy and evaluation services for clients of all ages with cognitive, psychological, developmental, learning and neurobehavioral disorders and needs. I am a registered nurse (in NYS) as well as a licenced psychologist (in NY and MI) with years of experience and welcome clients with serious, chronic and complex health conditions. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psycholgy from Columbia University, an Internship and Fellowship at Cornell University Medical College.

I understand how difficult it can be to decide to seek help for life's obstacles. In my practice, my goal is to help my clients become experts on themselves. Every end is a new beginning. If you're challenged with relationship issues, family conflict, parenting, a trauma history, depression, anxiety or have a child or an adolescent who is struggling with behavioral issues, or just looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation and looking to move in a new direction, I encourage you to let me help you with your experiences. I am dedicated to getting to the root of stuck patterns. There are techniques out there!

I bring warmth, compassion, humor and empathy to the therapeutic relationship, and I honor and prioritize the development of trust as a necessary foundation for successful treatment. I will create a comfortable atmosphere where you can feel safe and empowered to share your thoughts and feelings freely without fear of judgment. When working with me, you will be able to identify your strengths, gain a deep understanding of the themes in your life, and gain insight into past experiences, relationship patterns, and unhealthy coping skills that may be keeping you stuck.
