Therapists in Armonk, NY

Feeling alone, anxious, sad, hurt, or depressed in this uncertain world? It's difficult to bear alone. This often interferes with every day life, if not peace of mind. Maybe I can help you. Practicing for many years as a psychotherapist, I have come to know what a difference it makes when you have a trusted empathic person to talk to. I provide a safe, confidential space and hope to form that empathic understanding bond with you. It is there that you can discuss your fears and/or anxieties, and find resolutions and options in your life where you feared there were none.

Psychotherapy is an endeavor that many people seek to improve the overall quality of their lives. Whether one is experiencing conflict within relationships, difficulties coping with stress, a specific life problem, or acute symptoms, the insights, skills and increased awareness that come from psychotherapy can be invaluable. I work with patients to help create and maintain satisfying relationships, decrease emotional distress, develop healthy and effective coping strategies, cultivate self esteem and healthy self image, and increase satisfaction with life.

We have been helping people learn how to make the changes they want since 2008. Relationship woes? Existential Angst? Have a troubled teen or child in trouble? Feel stuck your life? You are not alone. There are other people out here going through this too. This is temporary. We will reach out to you, discuss your needs, and pair you with a therapist familiar with your needs. Together, you will meet, identify issues, collaborate to create a plan, follow through with some reasonable interventions, and figure out ways to make the changes last.

Choosing a psychotherapist, relationship counselor, or coach is an important decision. Most importantly, you want someone who will not only understand you but can help you overcome your pain and stuckness and become your best self. I spend a great deal of time in the beginning learning about who you are and I then tailor my treatment to your specific needs. I don't just listen - my treatment is very interactive and you will gain deep insight into yourself and acquire tools to grow and change. My mission is to liberate the human spirit one person at a time.

I believe the healing process can begin by developing a compassionate and collaborative working relationship. Whether relational issues, mental health concerns, or addiction challenges have become overwhelming, working together can bring positive results.

I love working with those who know they are ready for change. Many seek to create a life that they can proudly call their own. Perhaps you have tried many times, or you are just now realizing you're not living the life you want. I have worked for years with people wanting to create their best life, and have found a uniquely collaborative way of working that removes internal barriers while changing ways of relating to others, so that a happier, healthier life is more than just possible, it becomes a living reality.

Throughout the 50 years I have been helping clients improve their lives, the resilience of the human spirit continually amazes me. I see therapy as a collaboration: my job is to listen carefully to the issues and concerns that worry and frustrate you and your job is to present your concerns to me. Together we will develop a working relationship with the goal of helping you overcome your problems and fears. It is my pleasure to join you in this journey.

I am a licensed Psychologist practicing in New York City and Westchester. I earned my PhD as well as three Masters degrees (Master of Art, Master of Science, and Master of Philosophy) at Columbia University in the City of New York. I completed my clinical internship at Jacobi Medical Center. In addition to seeing patients in my private practice, I worked as a Clinical Researcher at New York State Psychiatric Institute, where I investigated the functional organization and structure of the human brain for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

My approach to therapy is collaborative and warm. I believe therapy works when we establish a meaningful relationship that allows you to feel safe enough to develop a sense of curiosity about your inner world. Within this space, we can challenge long-held self-narratives and discover the roots of dissatisfying relational patterns. My goal is to help you see the world differently and build agency to make changes in your life. Together we will identify new ways of relating to yourself and others, leading to a greater sense of meaning and fulfillment.

I approach my work with clients from a non-judgmental, empathetic, caring and nurturing approach. Therapy should be driven by the clients needs and a safe place to bring issues and concerns, without fear of judgment or rejection. You, the client, should determine what we will discuss as well as the goals we work on together. I hope through our time spent together, you will have the opportunity to explore areas of concerns, as well as feel better and less stressed in your daily life. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to new clients, so we can better get to know each other and see if we are a good match for therapy.

Are you feeling tired, lost, and unsure about decisions? Have you encountered thoughts of helplessness? Are you ready to reclaim your purpose and take back control of your life? Navigating challenges are not meant to be alone, working in collaboration can get you one step closer to reaching positive well-being. Are you and your partner facing conflicts? If facing strains in intimacy, communication and understanding, a change in perspective and an effort in restoration can lead to healthy replenishment.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.

Psychotherapy offers a transformative path to address various mental health concerns, such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. As your therapist, I am committed to embarking on this journey alongside you, guiding you towards a deeper understanding of your unique challenges and the intricate interplay between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, all of which profoundly influence your mood.

I have two specialties - Helping couples to improve their relationships and helping people to change. With couples, I start with the belief that caring about each other doesn't always mean understanding each other and that many of us have never learned how to handle conflict effectively in a relationship. For those trying to change, I start with the assumption that we've usually already changed anything that's easy to change and that there are probably obstacles (often ones we are not aware of) to changing things we struggle more with - whether at work, outside of work or both.

I want to offer a space where every part of you feels warmly invited to participate in the process of healing and self-understanding. Whether you are seeking help for anxiety, depression, existential dread, addiction, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, professional hurdles, or creative blocks, I believe a key ingredient to long-term change is the chance to be experienced fully without the familiar fear of judgment. This means I welcome, with compassion and gentle curiosity, the aspects of you that feel buried, objectionable, or even unacceptable, perhaps due to social stigma or fear of being rejected.

Psychotherapy is a collaboration between patient and therapist designed to help the patient resolve problems and live a more satisfying life. My first task is helping patients feel as comfortable as possible to speak about what is troubling them. To this end, I offer a non-judgmental, accepting, and professional approach to treatment. I am a highly trained and experienced psychologist in private practice in Cobble Hill Brooklyn. I supervise and teach therapists-in-training. My training and experience have helped me to listen deeply and empathically as well as to offer steady commitment, caring, and concern to my patients

Hi there, I'm Dr. Elnur Gajiev—better known by most simply as Dr. El. I am a Creative Psychologist, a Wellness Coach, and a Business Consultant. I offer my experience and expertise to guide ambitious folks like you — who want to make a difference — align your habits and actions with your values, build resilience to overcome overwhelm and bounce back from burnout, and cultivate an intentional wellness practice that allows you to move through life with peace, presence, purpose, and permeating fulfillment.

We usually seek therapy because we're interested in change. Sometimes it’s to change something specific—how we interact with a particular person, a way in which we cope with stress, or our feelings toward some life event. Other times we aim for larger transformations, looking to increase our self-awareness, or to achieve more truth and meaning in our relationships or careers. Whatever your reason, finding the right support is an important first step. As your therapist, I'll meet you with curiosity, warmth, and respect, and work to create an authentic space where we'll reflect on ways forward toward a fuller, more balanced life.
