Therapists in Chappaqua, NY

I am an empathic Psychologist who uses humor to speak about difficult topics. My goal is to help my clients reach their goals whether that be increased insight, behavior change, or managing thoughts. I use a non-judgmental and supportive stance to help my clients feel more comfortable when speaking about issues that may make them feel vulnerable. At times, I can be irreverent and direct, which helps when we find ourselves avoiding what needs to be addressed. In addition to working with clients in my private practice, I work for Northwell Health providing psychotherapy to Residents, Fellows, and other Medical/Professional Staff.

With over 33 years as a seasoned psychologist, I offer a relaxed, laid-back style that produces real results using a nonjudgmental and caring atmosphere. I provide solution-oriented therapy with useful feedback that addresses issues important to you. This includes help with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, intimacy issues, stress management, grief/loss, codependency, self-esteem and life transitions. Whatever your needs, you will leave our sessions really feeling "understood".

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides warm and compassionate therapy for adolescents and adults. I offer individual and family therapy, as well as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training, prenatal and postpartum support, parenting skills, and consultation services.

Connecting with people in meaningful ways is central to the process of healing. I help by listening carefully and without judgement, working with you to understand challenges you face in the world, challenges that may emerge as we engage in our therapeutic process. My interest is in partnering with you to create a space where you come to develop a deeper, broader, more flexible experience of yourself, where you come to feel more aligned with the world outside.

My specialty is performing safe at-home detoxification - mostly from opioids, alcohol and benzodiazepines (e.g. Xanax). I generally work with the referring therapist and one of our Recovery Coaches, both of whom provide care during detox and after detox has been completed. As a member of a customized treatment team, my role is the medical management of both the addiction as well as co-occurring psychiatric conditions such as depression or bipolar disorder.

I am an experienced psychotherapist who works with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions or other stressful situations. I utilize a strengths based perspective, and incorporate cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), but primarily I use an eclectic approach depending upon your individual needs. I look at both past events and current factors that may be holding you back from achieving your goals and provide you with the tools that will empower you to make changes in your life so that you can ultimately be successful.

I have been in private practice for over 25 years providing counseling to adults, adolescents, couples and families. Although I specialize in couple and family therapy, I also have extensive experience addressing problems of anxiety depression, mood disorders, ADHD, learning and social disabilities, alcoholism and substance abuse. I also provide evaluations and treatment for individuals facing life crises such as divorce, chronic illness, infertility, adoption and job loss.

Have you been treated for depression or anxiety, but you still don't feel like yourself? Does sadness, shame and guilt still consume your days leaving you exhausted and hopeless? Does it feel like no matter what you do nothing will ever get better? I understand, and I can help. It's hard to go through each day feeling so overwhelmed and defeated. People tell you to snap out of it, don't take it personally, try to think positively. They just don't get it. You want to be happy, but you don't know how.

I have over 40 years experience treating individuals, couples and groups. My techniques vary according to the needs of my clients. I offer brief treatment with focus on a specific issue; long term psychodynamic psychotherapy for greater self understanding;and EMDR for traumas. I’ve worked supportively with hundreds of clients in troubled relationships whether they decide to work through the issues with the partner or separate and begin a new phase of life. Teaching mindfulness techniques I help clients learn to pause, and change negative reacting. I created a Cd: Journey to Inner Peace: Meditation and relaxation exercises.

With over 35 years of experience I have successfully treated a wide variety of emotional problems. When it comes to therapy, one size does not fit all.

The adults and adolescents I treat, typically come into psychotherapy because they feel the need to develop a better understanding and/or make a change in a relationship that is faltering with a family member or partner. Many of the women I see are contending with problematic romantic relationships, some dealing with infidelity, some wondering about divorce or just trying to manage day to day in marriage. These days I see more and more people in relationships with others who have narcissistic tendencies and are struggling with how to cope and negotiate with difficult people.

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'm a licensed psychologist specializing in anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship issues. My style is warm and collaborative and I work to create a supportive environment in which my clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings. I work from a psychodynamic framework, meaning that I believe the problems clients face are rooted in current and past relational experiences as well as in feelings outside of conscious awareness. I work collaboratively with clients integrating mindfulness techniques and mind-body focused approaches to help them experience relief from symptoms and gain greater self-awareness.

I am currently in private practice specializing in psychotherapy, cognitive remediation and neuropsychological evaluations. I come from a psychodynamic background, but have also been trained in modalities appropriate for clients with medical illnesses that impact cognitive and psychological functioning. I am a Board Certified Clinical Neuropsychologist. My Doctorate is in Clinical Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University, where I am Adjunct Assistant Professor of Psychology and Education in the Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology. My Postdoctoral Fellowship was in Neuropsychology/Rehabilitation Psychology in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center where I remain an adjunct professor.

I come from a relational, holistic, strength-based perspective. My practice of over 30 years has taught me that psychotherapy is a blend of art and science. Compassion, creativity, and attuned listening coupled with well researched therapies and holistic thinking (mind-body-spirit) defines my practice. Throughout my career I have been dedicated to helping people overcome obstacles so that they can lead authentic and fulfilling lives. Treatment specialization includes: Therapy for depression and anxiety, pre-marital counseling, marriage/relationship concerns including loss of emotional/sexual intimacy, infidelity, women's sexual health concerns, issues specific to the LGBTQ community

Coping skills are important, and I will certainly help you with those. But you want to really live your life, not just get through it. Merely coping is not enough, you want to thrive! That's my working assumption. If you don't think that's possible, that's where our work begins, to figure out how you can regain hope, and the belief that vitality is your birthright. Clearing space for creativity is an important part of the process. Don't have a creative bone in your body, you say? I say you're wrong. Let's talk.
