Teletherapy for New York

As a South Asian therapist in NYC, I understand the importance of cultural diversity and intersecting identities. Those who gravitate towards working with me tend to set high standards for themselves, and are typically from culturally and professionally diverse backgrounds. Often, we do the needful of everyday life while constantly doubting ourselves. I help people overcome internal conflicts, self-sabotage, and unhealthy relationships with others in their lives. It might be tempting to put yourself on the back burner and attend to others, but you also deserve a safe space to process and be heard without fear of judgment.

As an individual, you may be experiencing a range of symptoms in body and mind that affect your ability to function optimally, to rise, and become your fullest you. In individual therapy, you’ll discover that these symptoms conceal aspects of yourself that yearn to be seen and known by the rest of you. In accessing these buried parts of self, you’ll find that your symptoms become openings through which powerful transformations occur. As a couple, you may find yourselves trapped in repetitive, painful interactions. In couples therapy, you'll begin to transform these interactions into a safe dialogue where all feel seen and known.

Your Place To Heal! From relationship trauma, abuse, anxiety, addictions, depression, loss of self, or neglect, to Full-Hearted Living. Welcome, I’m Chava Abramovitz & I help women and couples find safety & acceptance within. Are any of these thoughts familiar? *I’m not good enough *I don’t deserve happy things *I’m inherently damaged *This good won’t last, it never does. These are ingrained beliefs but not facts! They may be coping skills that helped you get through life until today, yet they’re now keeping you stuck. You don’t need to stay here forever: go from coping to truly living by harnessing your untapped inner strengths.

Are you feeling frustrated with your child's behavior and wondering where you've gone wrong? Maybe you feel like you have no idea what you are doing and somehow messing it all up. Parents are certainly not taught how to best manage the varying emotional needs and temperaments of their children. The good news is, I am trained in this, and I am here to provide guidance and support. I can help you better understand your child (or children's) unique needs. I can teach you and them the strategies to help better manage life's difficult moments.

If you feel stuck, limited, habitually repeating unwanted behaviors; caught up in negative thoughts/feelings; have experienced trauma and its long lasting effects, I offer you a gentle, compassionate, safe space as well as tools and skills to grow, change and heal. If you are blocked or lacking in passion, I will help you develop resources and pathways to a more joyous and fulfilling life. My work with couples/families focuses on improving communication, connection, problem solving; growing conscious, loving relationships. If you are wanting to embrace/embody graceful aging, let's help you live your most joyful, vital life.

Bilingual (English and Spanish) psychotherapist with experience and interests in treatment of depression, anxiety and PTSD. Together we will work towards your wellbeing. I am here to help you gain insight and assist you with overcoming unhealthy patterns that leave you feeling stuck and depleted. Using a holistic and eclectic approach, I will focus on your strengths, and the gifts you already hold within. As we collaborate together, we implement effective skills, and tools to help you feel connected, empowered and in control of your life, environment and your relationships. I enjoy working with diverse populations and backgrounds.

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.

I am a Licensed Psychologist with 20 years of experience in private practice, community and hospital settings. I specialize in the treatment of unresolved emotional injuries from childhood, post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety and grief. Through our work together, my clients gain insight and shift outdated coping mechanisms, such as addiction, codependency and compulsive behaviors. I also treat acute trauma, that can result from accidents, medical care, interpersonal or community violence.

I specialize in working with teens and adults who find that limiting beliefs and stress are preventing them from reaching their full potential. As a client, you are an over-achiever and someone who appears to achieve in all areas of life. You believe in perfection versus completing something as "good enough." You show enthusiasm and capability to the world but feel exhausted, overwhelmed, stressed, fearful, and inadequate. I also run 8 and 9-week groups for preteens, teens, and adults. Please view the groups tab for more information or my website.

Hey there! I first want to congratulate you on taking the first step in reaching out for help. I have worked in a variety of treatment centers including residential, outpatient and inpatient treatment. I am currently serving adolescents, adults and couples. My experience includes working with clients who have trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment issues, and relationship conflict. My goals are to help you get to the root of your distress, manage your symptoms better, and to provide you a safe place to express yourself without judgment.

I am passionate about working with individuals & couples facing relationship issues, adjusting to life transitions, or healing from anxiety and depression. I have a focus on helping people heal from attachment trauma caused by emotional abuse, neglect, or betrayals. If you notice unhealthy patterns in your relationships, have difficulty regulating or expressing your emotions, or feel stuck, I would love to help you. Together, we will apply a lens of curiosity and compassion to help you identify and respond to the challenges you face. We'll work together to first understand how and why you feel, think, and behave as you do.

In addition to individual work, I facilitate psychodrama groups and women's retreats. What if the stories you have heard or told about yourself could be reimagined? As a creative psychotherapist, I help folks struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and the demands of perfectionism to identify narratives that no longer serve them and seek out new and hopeful perspectives. I support my clients in seeking authentic expression and in processing relationships. Regardless of the stories you hold, either from family or society, you are deserving of peace and happiness.

Therapy is about creating meaningful, lasting change that creates a sense of fulfillment in your own life and relationships with others. It's an investment in you and those around you. I have a collaborative, goal-oriented approach, tailored to each individual and shaped by my own training, experience and interests as well as my curiosity, empathy and respect for others. My practice is informed by a wide variety of influences (psychodynamic training, parent management training, studies including DBT) and interests (mindfulness, parenting issues, work/life balance, life transitions, neuropsychology, positive psychology).

Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy offer a space to speak that is absolutely singular. It is a rare thing to be genuinely listened to. Free from the expectations and etiquette of other forms of speech, those who engage in psychoanalysis and therapy find themselves speaking in new and often surprising ways. It is here, in the moments at which elements of ourselves that had previously been unacknowledged become finally articulated, that we change: symptoms fall away, anxiety alleviates, repetitive forms of behavior and relation shift. The result is a process that is challenging, thrilling, and transformative.

Book a session with me if you want to create a healthy and empowering narrative of your life that you can understand and reconcile with. Prior to working as a therapist, I studied comparative literature in college and worked as a copywriter in the advertising industry, discovering, creating, and sharing “stories”. I was drawn to therapy as an occupation, having learned that psychotherapy, essentially, is a process of storytelling. As a therapist, I strive to empower and support my clients in their journey of uncovering and re-arranging their thoughts and feelings to create a coherent and empowering narrative of their lives.

I am often asked, "am I normal?" It's valid to want to know if other people have the same stressors, anxieties, wants and desires as we do. I encourage my patients to challenge the idea of normalcy, rather than measuring their thoughts, actions, and emotions against external standards. As your therapist, I act as an open-minded, unbiased, and nonjudgmental third party who can reflect with you, challenge you, and help guide you toward better insight into yourself and the world around you.

As a first-generation Indo-Caribbean American therapist, I understand the struggle of balancing multiple identities and the importance of finding harmony between our individuality and our communities. Growing up between Caribbean and South Asian culture has shaped my view of visibility and belonging in my community. I typically work with young professionals, people of color (POC), interracial couples, and first-generation siblings who are looking to discover a stronger sense of self and heal relational ruptures.

I realize that the decision to begin therapy is not always an easy one and what happens in therapy can be difficult to put into words. Put simply, therapy is about letting your voice be heard. You can reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in the presence of someone who will listen in a non-judgmental way. My expectations of my clients are simple - that they attend their scheduled sessions and that they are honest. In return, I will be an attentive and emotionally present ally, helping you learn more effective ways to approach daily struggles.
