Faige Flakser
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, CCTP
Verified
I am licensed in NY, NJ, NV and OR. I work with individual adults, who struggle with the fallout of traumatic experiences. I helps clients develop a present sense of safety and process through difficult memories from their trauma. My focus is on making real progress; work with me is gentle yet deep. Gentle; through my nonjudgmental and complete acceptance of the authentic human experience. Deep; where I get straight to the core of what brings clients to therapy. My practice is trauma-focused, rooted in a deep understanding of the effects of trauma and specializing in addressing and fighting the internalized shame of clients.
Amanda Zoe Baten
Psychologist, PhD

Dr. Baten incorporates CBT and holistic health in her practice. She helps individuals, children, families and couples develop new strategies to change old patterns. She stimulates emotional growth by teaching people to replace their self-defeating thoughts, feelings and actions with new and more effective ones. Patients are taught to identify the dysfunctional beliefs that lead to negative consequences in their mood and behavior as well as to replace poor food and lifestyle choices. She encourages individuals to be responsible for their own emotions, empowering them to change and overcome unhealthy behaviors that interfere with their ability to enjoy life.

My primary goal as your therapist is to help you navigate challenges through a non-judgmental, collaborative and client-centered relationship. As an Afro-Latina female clinician, one of my passions is to serve people in my community and to help them find meaning in their lives. I employ an integrative approach to therapy to meet individual needs. This means that I integrate various techniques from several modalities to meet you where you are and help you achieve deep healing. The approaches that I use most often are Psychodynamic, Narrative therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy.
Therese Sarah Rosenblatt
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
In therapy the most profound changes occur in the context of a safe and confidential relationship between the patient and a skilled and compassionate therapist. You will feel less alone with difficult feelings and I will help you figure out how and why you are getting stuck in work and/or in your personal life. Together we will work on clarifying your goals, meeting your challenges and helping you to feel more fulfilled. In a good therapeutic relationship you will develop a greater sense of empowerment and free choice. Life is full of hardships. What matters is developing the tools to deal with them.
Anthony Procaccino
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
Every person who chooses therapy does so for a unique combination of reasons, as my patients have revealed to me in twenty years of private practice. No one fits into simple categories, teens especially. Some are impacted by events long ago, others by recent setbacks, while most are triggered by a combination of influences known and unknown. Working with children and adolescents, I understand these manifold pressures are sometimes accompanied by resistance to change, thereby limiting the otherwise positive support offered by family and friends. That’s when I can help.
Caterina Romano
CH, CAPP
During these times of accelerated change, transition can feel quite overwhelming. Maybe life circumstances shifted dramatically or you've been feeling for awhile now that you'd like more clarity in your life or into yourself. My purpose is to guide you through shifts in consciousness and to the answers you already have within you. I can teach techniques to quiet the mind and connect to your higher self. We can explore deeper trance states, higher perspectives, and uncover what may be blocking you from living as your best, most authentic self.
Catherine A Boyer
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MA, LCSW-R
Verified
Do you want to feel better, live more fully, and resolve issues that keep you from having what you want in life? Stress, lack of brain or mental fitness, performance anxiety and so on can make life difficult. Neurofeedback is very likely to help. It is often the missing piece for those who have done good work in therapy and other modalities or for those who are not comfortable with talk therapy.

Mark Spergel
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, NCPsyA
Verified
My approach to therapy is psychoanalytic/psychodynamic and draws on multiple theoretical approaches depending on the needs of the patient. Whether you are in crisis or simply dissatisfied with some aspect of your life, therapy can help by uncovering unconscious patterns and finding new ways to address unsettling internal states and interpersonal conflicts. These can include difficulties with coworkers and supervisors, family or romantic relationships, identity issues, unwanted dependencies, loss, loneliness, inertia, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, rage, compulsive behaviors, and other self-destructive patterns.

I believe that self-awareness and insight are catalysts that help us get a step closer to a fulfilling life.

Sarah Fraser
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition - starting or ending school or work, moving to a new city, beginning or leaving a relationship. You might feel something isn't quite working in your life, like you're frustrated, uncertain, or slightly out of step. Maybe you feel yourself hitting the same walls in friendships or relationships repeatedly. Maybe you feel lost. I'll work with you to help you find what's getting in the way of getting what you really want from your life and to find a way forward that feels right to you.
