Suicidal Ideation Therapists in New York

I have spent over a decade in community mental health clinics which has allowed me the opportunity to interact with the many different ways human suffering can show itself. I have interest in hearing your story and working to understand what made our paths intersect. I want to help you understand what’s behind your suffering and work together to help you get back to what matters in your life. I have particular interest and background with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (well suited for sleep issues).

The teenage years are rocky for families. Parents are seeing many issues arise in adolescent development including school performance, social interactions and increased thoughts of suicide in teens. Family systems have been majorly impacted with these changes and many families have experienced on-going crisis with their teens. My doctorate is in adolescent and family therapy with a specific focus on schools and helping families to reintegrate into daily routines, increasing socialization and putting out the "fires" in the home. This short term therapy will help provide stability and open dialogue.

I am a licensed psychotherapist. I have worked in the field for over 15 years addressing issues of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, impulse control issues as well as relationship problems. I work with children and adults. My approach is client centered, I personalize my intervention to fit the needs of each individual client. I am proficient in psychodynamic, relational, cognitive behavioral therapy as well as play therapy and family systems therapy. My approach is thoughtful and insight oriented.

Maybe you’re suffering from depression or anxiety. Maybe you’re just overwhelmed by your job and your relationships. Either way, I am confident that I can help you. Whether you need help coming up with solutions to your problems, a chance to vent and unload every week, or a space to ‘dive deeper’ into your history, my approach can accommodate you. I uphold that you do not have to ‘find the right fit’ with a really good therapist—they will fit themselves to you. That’s what I aim to do for you.

Your life is an ongoing journey and it's time to make yourself a priority. Are you not living the life you dreamed of? Or do you often feel frustrated that your relationships, home life, and career are less than satisfying? Have you ever wondered what is stopping you from feeling happier, more confident, and in control of your future? We live in a society so busy that we can barely hear ourselves think. Its rare that anyone feels truly heard and listened to. I can help you to learn to lead a more authentic, self-actualizing life that works for you. Perhaps you're looking to take steps towards healing, but are unsure where to start.

I believe that physical and emotional health are closely connected — so striving for mental wellness is a mind, body, and spiritual process. Attending to one’s emotional health is just as important as seeing a medical doctor. I want to help patients feel better, meet their goals, and have a better quality of life.

I am a professional, well-established leader in the counseling and wellness field. I have been working as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and advocate for over 18 years. My experience includes working with adults, young adults, and teens experiencing mental health and behavioral struggles. My professional specialties include: depression, anxiety, trauma, grief / loss, anger, job-related stress, transitional concerns, interpersonal issues, communication difficulties, eating disorders, self-injury, suicidal thinking / behaviors, and impulsivity. I work with individuals with co-morbid medical concerns, those struggling with alcohol / substance use, and individuals who require court-mandated services in a confidential setting.

I'm passionate about providing a safe and therapeutic space for those who have experienced childhood, sexual, race or gender based, or combat-related trauma. I'm trained in trauma-informed mental health care and developed my therapeutic approach working with a diverse population of individuals and families. I'm deeply sensitive to racial, cultural, occupational, economic, and social justice-related influences on how we experience and heal from trauma.

Do you or your child suffer from anxiety or depression? Do worry, social fears, or obsessive-compulsive disorder keep you from fully participating in life? Have you or someone you love felt desperate and suffered from suicidal thoughts or self-injury? Do you want to build a better life, a life worth living, and escape from overwhelming emotional pain and doubt? I help adolescents and young adults to become the people they want to be by developing skills they need to understand and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors more effectively.

We all have strengths that make us unique, and in my therapy practice I strive to help clients identify their skills to set realistic goals for themselves. I have been in practice since 2013 primarily in community mental health settings, and I have worked closely with adults, couples, adolescents, and families struggling with challenges that include (but are not limited to): anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues and gender identity, grief and trauma, suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors, emotion regulation, low self-esteem, poor concentration, poor body image, career transitions and life stage adjustment.

Once you are engaged in a safe, validating and honest therapeutic space, there is tremendous potential for growth. I appreciate the risk you take when you share your struggles and stories. In honoring that risk, I will remind you every step of the way of your power. Pain, distress and discomfort can inform us about the ways we see, move through, and live in the world. I will encourage you to explore these pain points and move forward with a new perspective: more in alignment with your values and goals. I come from a social justice framework and trauma-informed lens, acknowledging how inequity and injustice inform your narrative.

Together we can identify the barriers that exist and collaborate to find ways to overcome them to reach a more satisfying state of being.
