French Therapists in New York

As a multilingual clinical psychologist (fluent in Spanish, English and French) who has worked in hospitals and private settings, I have had the opportunity to work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds that are dealing with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. In my practice, I work from a holistic perspective since I believe that to understand and resolve the problems that lead us to seek therapy it is essential to take into account the physical, psychological, emotional, and social dimensions of the difficulties we are experiencing.

I specialize in crisis work which can be in your private or professional life. What does crisis work mean it is a situation (s) or difficulty in your life that came upon you unexpectedly and you are finding it unmanageable to maintain all of your other daily activities. I I have traveled extensively, lived overseas, and speak French fluently (can do therapy in French). Hence, I am accustomed to working with an international and culturally diverse clientele. I am focused on working with anxiety and depressive disorders, cultural diversity, adjustments to working and living in a new city, country, or career moves.

Having grown up in Lebanon and upon completing my master's degree and PhD in Psychopathology and Clinical Psychology at the University of Sorbonne in Paris, I embraced multiple cultures as well as various approaches to psychotherapy. I worked and trained with women around the age of menopause as well as middle aged men. I also worked with children and adolescents. I was trained in many forms of the talking cures but mainly in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am fluent in English, Arabic and French.

I am a clinical social worker trained in Gestalt Therapy, which offers a holistic and existential approach to understanding human experience. I conduct therapy in French (fluently) and English. I am trained in Insight Meditation and mindfulness, which can help you cope with difficult emotions and life stresses. I am experienced with trauma, issues of loss, depression, belonging and separateness, and life transitions. I believe we have what we need in our bodies, minds and souls to heal from past wounds, cope with present problems, and shape a life according to our deepest needs and wishes.

What do you want right now? Are you searching for something that keeps slipping away? Are you feeling stuck, sad, anxious or scared? Psychotherapy can help you discover what you may not see about yourself and your behavior. In my practice I work with people who are seeking change, self-understanding and greater fulfillment in their lives. Psychotherapy can be instrumental to help you establish better relationships, process conflict and deal with questions of self-worth. With warmth and dedicated attention I strive to be respectful, open and curious. I create a space where people can explore their internal world and speak freely.

I specialize in short-term intensive psychotherapy and long-term psychotherapy with children, adolescents, adults, and families, and I conduct psychological testing. My work with children and adolescents has involved helping them navigate a range of emotional, behavioral, and academic difficulties. I have worked in private and public schools and counseled parents to help them advocate for their children's needs. My work with adults has included serving in outpatient and inpatient settings to address a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties managing stressors, relationship, career and marital problems.

I always knew that I wanted to be a healer. The best description of what I do after 30 years of success is that I am a stress management expert for ages 2 and up. After training together in individual, family, and Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) my mother and I founded The Hamilton Practice in 1995. Working with survivors of childhood trauma and sexual abuse in Harlem for a combined seventeen years, we were stunned by the miracles that unfolded as we applied the power of connection and support. My mom left her body in 2021, so you will see only me when we meet, but you will be benefiting from the synergy of two generations.

The home we seek to settle and belong is the inner home, the light we chase to enlighten our life is the inner light, and the journey we yearn to take for expansion and growth is the inner journey, all to meet the “most important person we will ever meet,” our true self. Each person’s inner journey toward healing and growth is unique. My role as a psychotherapist is to stand with you and help you, as you take steps towards a journey of self-healing and growth. A journey which may call for your courage, vulnerability, and discomfort, but it holds treasures of reintegration, expansion, transformation, and liberation.

As a licensed psychologist, I work with a broad spectrum of clients including those with depression & anxiety disorders. I see individuals who struggle with health issues, interpersonal difficulties (i.e. relationship/intimacy issues) as well as those who suffer from intra-personal problems related to their self-esteem, coping with major life transitions & managing stress. My clients care about their health & well-being in addition to seeking out effective solutions to their problems. Our work together is interactive & collaborative while I maintain a non-judgmental attitude. I see families, couples and individuals.

I am a New York licensed psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience working in the field of mental health. As a former professional dancer, I am particularly attuned to how we process stressful experiences. I value the importance of a gentle, insightful approach to change.

I strive to create a supportive and collaborative environment in which you can access your inherent strengths and find the answers that are right for you. Whether you're feeling depressed or anxious, going through a difficult life transition, experiencing grief or bereavement or simply wanting to understand yourself and the choices you make in a deeper way, psychotherapy can help.

Getting support is more important than ever. I help clients adjust to change, including loss, overcome difficulties with relationships of all kinds, address attachment issues, PTSD, and anxiety. I work collaboratively—a strong connection between therapist and client is the foundation of good therapy. Listening deeply to clients, I draw on 40 years as a somatic practitioner (incl. 10 years as a massage therapist) and use intuition, empathy, compassion, and humor to help guide the process. I integrate proven and effective mind-body techniques to alleviate chronic stress and pain and achieve wellness through life-style changes.

Because counseling can sometimes be a daunting experience, I aim to put my clients at ease from the first moment. Life can be difficult to navigate. We accumulate invisible scars and wounds over time. When the tools and thoughts that we use to cope with life's changes and challenges are out dated, they can leave us feeling depressed, fearful, or overwhelmed. I work collaboratively with my clients to fully understand their issues and to develop treatment strategies that address their concerns in an open, safe, and understanding environment.

My approach focuses on creating a compassionate space to meet you where you are, filled with understanding and free of judgment. As a certified academic and executive function coach, I will help you learn how to best help yourself. Whether you struggle with keeping track of daily tasks or need help optimizing your time, I am here to help. I can help you build study skills, identify and take charge of your priorities, reclaim your time, and build the confidence you need to succeed.

My therapeutic focus is on helping people being challenged by stress, anxiety, traumatic events, loss or grief, relationship issues, sexual difficulties, career problems, addictions and compulsions, and who are seeking to find and develop creativity and meaning in their lives. I work with a diverse range of individuals and couples and have a particular expertise in working with people in transitions. I am trained in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques for the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and stress. I understand the many issues in dealing with international and cross-cultural relationships.
