In Person Therapists in Irvington, NY
There is an intriguing complexity at the heart of therapy. Patient and therapist meet together to consider difficulties in the patient's life. From this shared experience an interesting and challenging thing happens. Versions of the difficulties being addressed in therapy begin to emerge in the therapy relationship. The question is not whether this happens, but rather whether it is noticed and discussed. So, therapy, when it works well, comes to be not just about the patient's life, it becomes a vital piece of that life. Emotionally meaningful experience is generated and dealt with in the therapy itself.

I believe that Psychotherapy is an in-depth collaborative creative process which allows freer and freer self-expression to create and expand therapeutic spaces, untold stories to be told, contradictions to be bridged, and emotions to be re-touched and re-experienced while integrating body-mind communication. I encourage you to access and mobilize the Cs of therapy in you, i.e. a commitment and connection with yourself, the curiosity to explore and understand your experiences and your creativity to open spaces and invent new journeys.

I have enjoyed working with adults and children for over 25 years in clinical and educational settings, including as a faculty member in pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. My therapy sessions respect the unique experience of each family member and help facilitate insight and provide strategies leading to positive change. My work with adults supports the transition to new life stages in school, work and relationships. I also help parents develop insight and skills for managing confusing and challenging child behaviors and issues related to new parenting, co-parenting and single parenting.

My therapeutic approach includes creating an environment where one can feel safe to freely express needs and desires without fear, shame or guilt. Often, a byproduct of this process is to become more comfortable and accepting of yourself. Clarity and confidence are newly discovered benefits of the therapy experience. My 25 years of experience provides me with the professional skills to assess and diagnose an individual. I set reachable goals and identify under-lying psychological barriers that can interfere with reaching your potential. My experience enables me to examine the complexities of unconscious habits.

It's simple: I wouldn't be a therapist if I didn't believe that people can change and improve themselves to live happier lives.

Paying attention to your emotions and inner life hold the potential to transform your daily experience. I value creating an empathic and accepting space. It is important for you to feel understood as we discover problematic patterns that you want to change. Delving into your current experiences and influences from the past, we can address the root of your pain and guide you to a more fulfilling and engaged life.

When children, teens, or young adults show mood or behavioral changes or are going through a difficult period of transition, I can help. In the supportive setting of therapy, we can find constructive ways to understand feelings, manage problem behaviors, and communicate effectively with others. We can work in a more open, exploratory way or a more structured, goal-oriented way depending on your individual needs. I also collaborate with parents and outside professionals for more wholistic care.

I started my social work career working with children and families. This experience has helped to shape my work with clients and to understand how our experiences in our own families affect our lives.
Since I have been in the field for over 30 years, I utilize both my analytic training (four years post masters) as well my roots as a social worker. I believe in enabling clients to work in the here and now to make good choices based on sound understanding of their motivations.
My experience is wide ranging but working with clients who have depression and anxiety is a specialty as well as clients suffering from OCD.
For the past 15 years I have worked with adult children of alcoholics as well as those in early recovery from a variety of addictions including drug, alcohol, smoking, gambling and shopping.
I look forward to meeting with you and to encourage and support you on your journey of self discovery.

Deciding to begin therapy can be a turning point in your life. I work with children, adolescents and adults using supportive and insight-oriented psychotherapy for issues related to adjustment and stress (e.g. anxiety, depression) as well as specializing in conditions that affect the brain (e.g. learning disorders, ADHD, brain injury, memory problems). As a clinical psychologist and a neuropsychologist, I have specialized dual training in brain behavior relationships and take a psychodynamic approach when working with clients therapeutically. I also integrate cognitive behavioral techniques to help my clients meet their treatment goals.

I am a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist that has been practicing for 19 years. I specialize in adolescents, but have had great success with adults as well.

I approach each individual with curiosity and acceptance. I see my clients as the real experts on themselves- each in the process of navigating the world around them and learning as they go. I am actively non-judgemental and find it most therapeutic to provide clients with a safe context in which to explore thoughts and feelings, gain insight, and problem solve in a lasting and empowering manner. I actively listen and offer feedback, reflection, education and, depending upon the issue at hand, more directive advice. I also offer levity and humor at times, as it can be quite therapeutic overall.

I view therapy as a collaboration between patient and therapist. We are a team with a common objective. When you come in, we will first complete a thorough intake, and then put together a treatment plan that meets your individual needs. During therapy you will learn skills and techniques which you will practice in between sessions, and implement in your everyday life. I believe that if people understand what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how it is going to help them, then they are more likely to engage in treatment, and benefit more from therapy. When you are ready to end therapy, you will take these skills with you.

I listen empathically to help my patients develop self-compassion and awareness so they can develop acceptance and create change. I see my role as listener, supporter, and guide into the internal world. My job is to thoughtfully explore with you, this unknown terrain and come to know the resources, resiliency, and best self that already exists. I also believe that life is not all rainbows and unicorns. There are many up and downs. The question is how we get through them. We must explore all aspects of life to fully engage and fulfill our greatest potentials.
