Hello, My name is Dr. Vera Daniels, owner of a health and wellness center in NYC. I am in business for over 10 years. My special skill set and treatment technique aims to help an individual identity and change concerning emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I can help you with anxiety or stress, depression, anger mangement, life improvement goals, specific fears or phobias, addiction, weight loss, gender identity, and other challenges.

The greatest discovery I have made in life is to embrace the unexpected, to crave the twists and turns as much as the great joys of life, and to lead with curiosity. Life can often feel scary, and we may face challenges that leave us feeling like there is nowhere to turn. If you find yourself feeling this way, you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with feelings of great sadness, anxiousness that feels uncontrollable, or struggling to move past an event in your life you have turned to the right place. Seeking therapy can lead to a greater understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the person you want to be.

The goal of my practice is to improve the quality of life of my clients and assist them reach their full potential and personal goals. Specializing in family and couple therapy. I also specialize in depression and anxiety. The ideal client will be dedicated to their own treatment and have a strong desire to feel better. Together with my client we work as a team to achieve the therapeutic goals and make life worth living and enjoying. I have been working in mental health for over a decade and it's my greatest passion in lifeI work to improve the life of my clients daily and I am very successful at achieving therapeutic goals.

This world can be pretty challenging and there are times any one of us will feel overwhelmed, but perhaps you look around you and it seems like other people are making it work, so what's going on with you? Maybe you're starting to wonder if you're getting in your own way. I can lend a hand in understanding your stuck places and discovering more choices, to achieve personal growth and reach your life goals. I provide a space where we work to increase awareness, to find untapped energy and self-expression. With full access to your own capacities, you can feel grounded in yourself, confront obstacles and find solutions.

Do you long for greater love and purpose in your life? Do you feel lonely? Stuck in your struggles? Group therapy can help you find deeper meaning and belonging through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). Therapy Groups help you bring your full authentic self into connection to transcend loneliness and find more fulfilling relationships. Group can help you lean into your life with more courage, compassion and vulnerability. Group can support your unique journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.

The best kind of therapy will help you feel more alive to yourself and open to the world. In my practice, I have seen countless times how a strong patient-therapist relationship can be a life-changing resource. I'm deeply invested in understanding why you're in my office today—whether due to dispiriting relationships, self-destructive habits, or a bleak self-image—while simultaneously helping you locate the more capable and resourceful parts of your identity. My style is warm, curious but also candid and direct. I trust that my patients have come to me because they can handle (and need) honesty.

I practice an integrated approach to Psychotherapy. I believe in meeting the client where they are and applying myriad psychotherapeutic interventions as they are needed by each client, week to week. I blend Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Analysis, EMDR, Positive Psychology, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), CBT, and am well-versed in a range of Addiction recovery models spanning 12-step recovery, harm-reduction, and deep and reflective acknowledgment of the trauma experience that often has led to substance abuse and addiction, compulsive behaviors, and/or unwanted behaviors.

There's nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken, though I honor if you feel this way. I am passionate about guiding clients to restore their sense of wholeness by releasing the painful emotions/beliefs (some which are subconscious) that are contributing to issues such as anxiety/phobias, depression, harmful and limiting patterns/behaviors, emotional dysregulation, PTSD, feeling stuck/lost, low self-esteem, addiction, chronic pain/illness, etc etc.
