Therapists in New City, NY

Anxious and feeling stressed again, you are ready to give counseling a try. I get it, and I am interested to help you gain a sense of calm. I specialize in helping young adult and adults find ways to reduce overwhelm, find balance, and focus on better days ahead. My practice offers a special concentration on anxiety, women’s issues, and stress management.

Creating a comfortable atmosphere to help you process and work through challenges is what drives and inspires me as a therapist. I strive to help others heal from negative impacts of adversity and to develop effective, lifelong coping skills. Some of my specialty areas include anxiety and oncology. I have provided therapeutic services within outpatient oncology treatment settings and a cancer-focused nonprofit for individuals with a diagnosis, those in remission, caregivers and other family members. I have worked for private practices within the Hudson Valley, New York City and most recently Long Island as well.

I integrate the most effective approaches to mental health, marital/family, and addiction challenges. I blend traditional with cutting edge and provide concrete tools, practical advice, and spiritual guidance while effecting lasting change and healing. For 24+ years, I have helped countless people struggling with depression, anxiety, ADD, trauma, low self-esteem, anger and management, and with marital, sexuality, family, and parenting challenges. In testimonials I have been described as "having vast knowledge"; "a very down to earth guy who puts you at ease almost instantly; as having "laser-sharp" perceptions; & "an old soul ."

My practice focuses on using Cognitive Behavior Therapy to address a variety of psychological difficulties. My patients are interested in change and are committed to working on achieving success through the use of therapeutic homework, active problem solving and self exploration. I have experience in treating anxiety disorders, depression, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, social skill deficits, school related problems and issues that result form marital discord and divorce. I treat children, adolescents and adults.

Within each one of us is an inner child that holds the many hurts of our life. To survive this world, we hide the child away, building strong brick walls, preventing the child from emerging. Sometimes we use our “busyness” to ignore the cries of the child behind the barricades. Or we turn to anger, addiction and numbness to drown out the deafening cries. In our moments of brokenness, we stop and wonder, “Is this how I will have to live the rest of my life?” Trauma touches us all in different ways. The role of a therapist is to guide you through the pain and hurt so you can live a life of intention, meaning and inner peace.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated and sincerely looking for a change in their life. My expertise areas are depression, anxiety (panic attacks, generalized anxiety, agoraphobia, social anxiety), self-esteem issues, substance abuse and work/life balance issues. I am dedicated to helping my clients become their best self. I keep my practice extremely limited so that I can be my personal best for each client that seeks my assistance. I love what I do and invite anyone looking for real change to partner with me in the therapeutic process.

I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to help with a range of concerns like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or addiction. I specialize in trauma, single events or the kind that occurs repeatedly over time.

The way in which people navigate the world is through experience. Many of us have had difficult experiences at different times in our lives which have contributed to the way in which we view the world and more importantly, ourselves. As such, most people carry negative views or beliefs about themselves that are simply not true. Until those beliefs are challenged in an effort to change them, we more often than not, experience emotional or psychological discomfort in many forms. Therapy is a space that serves to remind each individual of their ability to positively impact their lives by cultivating a more accepting view of themselves.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. I work with depression, anxiety, family/parenting and other issues, to help you lead a happier life with improved relationships. I also lead support groups for new retirees and for those going through the grieving process.

I have been working with children and their families for over 15 years in settings such as hospitals, schools, mental health clinics and client's homes. I have extensive experience treating children with anxiety and depression, behavioral and anger management issues, ADHD, and oppositional defiance disorder. I have supported families through various stages of the divorce process and loss of a family member. I believe that a child is successful in therapy when the whole family is supportive and involved and I therefore have strong communication with a child's parents. I follow a Cognitive Behavioral and strengths based approach.
