Therapists in New York, NY

As your therapist my job is to support, empower and accompany you on your journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. My practice is deeply rooted in providing affirming care, and I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals who have faced a wide range of traumatic experiences within their communities, relationships and families, often feeling stuck and overwhelmed in their lives. At the same time my practice emphasizes inclusivity for all people regardless of sexuality. I strive to create an environment where everyone's unique experiences are valued and respected.

I have worked in social services providing individual and group counseling in New York City for over 15 years. From crisis hotline volunteer to HIV test educator, from substance use counselor to prevention group leader, my work has taught me two important things: no one's life is perfect and everyone's got issues. So why therapy? There are times when you find yourself in the same frustrating or painful situation, or when you just want to make a change but don't know how - therapy can help. With my training and experience, I can help you through these times.

I am a certified Jungian Analyst in mid-town Manhattan doing psychodynamic psychotherapy and Jungian analysis. I work at a deep level with individuals who want to break out of unhealthy and unhelpful patterns affecting their lives, relationships, and work in order to awaken unrealized vitality, potential, and creativity. What distinguishes Jungian Analysis from other psychoanalytic approaches to therapy is the attention given to the unconscious as a source of wisdom, vitality and creativity, which can awaken a deeper and more powerful sense of self.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in psychotherapy with adults and couples in English and Spanish. I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals dealing with important issues and transitions in their lives, who often struggle with feelings of depression and anxiety. Some of my clients seek to make sense of traumatic experiences and to deal with painful and uncomfortable emotions. Many struggle with identity and self-worth issues.

I have trained and specialize in several modalities such as EMDR, Forensic, DBT, CBT, Family Therapy, Addictions etc. I provide ongoing assessment, diagnosis, psychotherapy and treatment planning to a socio-culturally diverse adult and adolescent population diagnosed with a full-spectrum of psychiatric disorders including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety-related disorders, substance abuse and dependence, PTSD, ADHD, Post-Partum Depression, Trauma related issues, Family and relationship issues etc.

As a bilingual (English/Spanish) License Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) to adults, Couples, and families my goal is to assist you in finding the right path for you and/or your family. I provide Psychotherapy for depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders for marital conflict/couples, individual's, adolescents, and families. For those interested, we can incorporate a holistic approach with meditation and breathing techniques into our psychotherapy sessions, which have been shown to be effective in treating anxiety and depressive symptoms.

I have been working in private practice for nearly a decade. A common type of client I see is someone who did quite well academically as a student and faces challenges when it comes to the more nebulous and messy arenas of adult life, particularly in careers and relationships. Oftentimes, the questions and choices one faces with no clear roadmap can feel overwhelming and isolating. I specialize in areas such as dating, attachment issues, polyamory, struggling with a break-up/divorce, infidelity, boundary setting with loved ones, job stress and confusion around career path, sexual identity, and generalized anxiety and depression.

Therapy can be challenging, especially starting, whether it's your first time or you are looking for a new therapist. By providing a safe space for you to open up, we will explore your goals and obstacles to them. I will listen, and I will be honest, helping you on this journey called life. Maybe you are looking for help with relationships, or with anxiety, with career, or ADHD, or maybe a life transition. These are only some of the issues I work with.

I take a warm, supportive and practical approach to psychotherapy, adapting treatment to the needs of each individual. I firmly believe that the present is informed but not wholly determined by our past, and that we all strive for wellness and ongoing transformation. As such, I work with clients to promote both greater self-awareness and healthy coping skills. This process facilitates symptom relief, while also creating lasting change. My approach incorporates treatment modalities such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques.

You’re here because some emotional issue is holding you back from your best life. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma and even reached out for help from people you respect; but they’ve been either too busy with their own issues, critical or worse failed to listen? That can make your situation even more frustrating and lead to feeling unimportant, invisible, and even unworthy of love and belonging. No one deserves to feel devalued. I know this is more than a platitude because everyone I have ever worked with has so much value; just often untapped or unrecognized.

It takes courage to seek help. When you are going through challenging times or feeling distress, it becomes especially difficult to move forward or deal with whatever is bothering you. It’s okay to not be okay, to feel lost, or not in control. We can navigate these challenges, empower you, strengthen your coping skills, and give you the confidence and assurance to tackle future uncertainties and stresses.

I am a dedicated and compassionate psychotherapist with an educational background rooted in psychology and mental health counseling. My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from various counseling theories to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and goals.

Modern living can be filled with joys and opportunities, as well as burdens and stressors. Some people face barriers that interfere with achieving goals and pursuing the lives they want. Some have lost their internal compass and struggle to move forward in the face of loss or struggles with mental illness. My goal as a clinician is to help my clients live fuller, healthier, and more meaningful lives through helping them cope with their challenges and find ways to access their internal strengths.

I am an NYC-based psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with over 20 years of clinical experience. I trained at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR) and am still involved with the organization today. In my opinion, psychodynamic therapy is an essential part of psychological work and can be beneficial for people from all walks of life. I have found that psychodynamic psychotherapy is an effective treatment option for those struggling with overwhelming emotions. One of the benefits of this approach is that it helps to create a safe and trusting relationship, which is important when learning new coping skills.

I am currently seeing clients virtually in New York, Florida and California. Don't Stay Stuck in the Yuck! Counseling and Change can feel scary and overwhelming while staying "stuck" where you are can be even more difficult. It takes time to build trust with a therapist, this can be even more difficult if you have been mandated to treatment or had a bad fit with a therapist in the past. I understand this and want you to feel comfortable and empowered in therapy. No matter what you have experienced in your past or what brings you to treatment, you can THRIVE!

Throughout life we can encounter many roadblocks and, in some cases, very traumatic experiences that make us question whether we have the strength to continue, believe in people, or pursue our dreams. We tend to fixate on experiences beyond the here and now, identifying ourselves with the past or worrying about the future while missing the opportunity to achieve inner joy and peace. I specialize in treating adults and teenagers with depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. During counseling sessions, I use the evidence-based principles of CBT, MBCBT, DBT, ACT, and Mind-Body Connection therapy.

It is important for people to have the awareness that therapy can not only assist you for the particular issue that you came in for today but that the skills and insight that you learn can be added to your "toolbox" on this unpredictable journey we call life.

We are living in challenging times. The degree of uncertainty we face is enough to cause thoughts and feelings that interfere with our daily functioning. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic issues of depression, anxiety, domestic violence, substance abuse, and suicide were already problems many people struggled with. For many, COVID has caused or intensified these conditions and created a need for additional resources. Resources that lead them to thrive and enjoy time with family and friends.

Ready to make some changes in your life? I am a Clinical Psychologist and a Life Coach. I combine the depth of psychology with the practicality of life coaching to help you meet your personal goals. I help people just like you every day to become more fulfilled and successful in personal relationships and careers, improve self confidence and mood, and decrease anxiety. The people I work with are successful in certain areas of their lives, but need some guidance in other areas. Depending on your needs, our work together can be short-term or ongoing,
