Step into the realty that YOU are the Ancient, Eternal, Infinite, One, and Unchanging LIGHT shining through the flesh-and-blood prism known as the self. In other words, YOU are the Driver, and what YOU see in the mirror is the Vehicle. Like every good mechanic, I listen to both Driver and Vehicle. Remember: You are NOT anxious, depressed, or fearful, your vehicle is.
Gregory Gagnon
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
The start of a new psychotherapy often occurs when you are going through a particularly difficult time in your life. It takes courage to reach out and begin the process. But the benefits can be significant. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to expand your understanding of yourself and the meaning of your current difficulties, to clarify your hopes and develop new ways of pursuing them, and to learn how to cope with disappointments and challenges so they do not grow into insurmountable obstacles. I practice collaboratively. I will work with you to develop an approach that is responsive to your needs and preferences.

Nadia Yanez
Pre-Licensed Professional
Verified
I believe that, at the core of every human being, there is a need to be loved and to be valued, and that we meet those needs through our relationships with others. By the time we reach adulthood, we have established relationships with our families, friends, romantic partners, work colleagues, and others. And, while we all hope for the best, sometimes these relationships turn toxic and/or abusive. Despite the fact that we are not always aware of it, these unhealthy relationships negatively affect our mental health to the point where feelings of loneliness, sadness, anxiety, guilt, or shame become unbearable.

Gloria Brown
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-R, EdD
Verified
A fast-paced city like New York subjects us to much stress and anxiety. As individuals, we often try to cope by ignoring our needs while attending to everyone and everything else first. Before we realize it, our emotional, physical and spiritual health has begun to suffer, beginning the downward spiral into ill health: headaches, tension, weight loss, weight gain, heart problems, hyper-tension and a host of other ailments.
Take "time out" in a supportive environment to begin your healing process. I provide Psychotherapy and Stress and Anger Management to individuals, families and groups experiencing anxiety, phobias, and mild depression.

Diego F. Muñoz
Counselor, LMHC, NCC

Quite simply, psychotherapy is about conversations. The conversations we have with ourselves and with others. We often try so many different tactics to live happier more fulfilling lives, and we come to realize that it isn't always enough. A therapeutic conversation is based on an open and genuine collaboration between client and therapist; a relationship built on trust, honesty, and understanding. As the foundation for good therapeutic work, it's essential to feel comfortable and cared for. I hope to provide this conversation.

Thomas Moore, LCSW, BCD
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, BCD
Verified
Whether you're seeking Individual or Couple's Therapy, or Professional Coaching, the critical factors are: Do we feel comfortable together, and are you getting help that you could not otherwise get anywhere else in your life? People seek help when they're in pain. The work we do together is to find a pathway out. You must feel seen and understood. You must hear from me compassion, ideas and strategies that move you to a place you didn't think possible. Therapy works and works well so long as the person seeking help is willing work hard and the therapist or coach has the talent, skills and knowledge to inspire change.
