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.

Are you feeling a diminished sense of self-confidence? Are you feeling that the way you view yourself is keeping you from experiencing life fully and/or causing you suffering? Are you experiencing nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, depression, fears, anger, impaired concentration, difficulties at work, school or home? If you answered "yes" to any question, you may be reacting to trauma.

To realize my objective of providing services that are both Caring and Comprehensive, I developed expertise in both Neuropsychological Evaluations and Psychotherapy. Neuropsychological Evaluations are individualized to address the specific issues of each person. A child's Learning Disorder not only interferes with learning, but other aspects of a child's life-including self-esteem, and relationships with friends and the family. At any age, the excitability and problems maintaining attention of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) limit what a person can achieve-both professionally and in their personal life. Evaluations for older adults address problems with memory and organization.

I approach psychotherapy as a creative, collaborative undertaking between therapist and client with the goal of creating a safe, healing relationship through which clients can discover and mobilize their deepest capacities for transformation.

Areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, issues surrounding adoption, parenting, and co-parenting after divorce. As a psychotherapist and special educator I have worked extensively with children with learning differences.

I work with individual adults, parents and children, and families. Clients see me to alleviate anxiety and manage stress, support their child's behavior and growth, and address issues in the parent/child relationship. Parenting a young child can bring great delight and satisfaction, and also present isolation, bewilderment and depression. I have additional expertise and training in infant and early childhood mental health. I help parents & children increase joy in their connection, reduce challenging behavior, get more sleep, navigate power struggles, & find healing after a traumatic experience.

I truly believe that everyone deserves the gift of therapy. Whether it is a difficult experience or simply a curiosity about yourself that brings you to therapy, the experience can be truly life changing. You deserve a safe space, free from judgement in which you can be heard and supported. I strive to bring this feeling to my therapeutic relationships, so that we can explore various patterns that may leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed. By finding these patterns we can help you to develop new ways of thinking in order to live your life in the way that feels most meaningful to you.

I have over 25 years of postgraduate experience and an ongoing passion and engagement in the art of psychotherapy. When the fit is right, a good therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation. I think for therapy to really gel, you need to feel that your therapist gets you, perhaps in a way few others have. People I work with often tell me they have that experience with me, that they feel fully seen and understood. They also feel that I like and enjoy them.
