Therapists in New York, NY

The former psychologist of a client stated, "Sven accomplished more with you in 5 weeks than I did in 8 years!" I specialize in C-suite execs, struggling couples, and people in a lot of pain; men who hate therapy; women who never fit in but are driven. Particularly, couples & individuals who’ve had little success in therapy. Those who’ve never reached their potential. My only requirement is you trust & open up. If your pain has gotten bad enough that you’re finally ready to stop running from your sh-t & finally look at what’s really killing you, & go after what you really want, let’s kick some ass together!

Have you wondered if Dialectical Behavioral Therapy can be helpful to you? I offer a phone consultation to answer any questions you may have and will be by your side to navigate the process during these challenging times. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, and families to more effectively regulate emotions, reduce problematic behavior and enhance problem-solving skills. I provide a time-limited, goal-directed, and structured treatment to help clients work through their challenges and learn to become their own therapists. Clients often see a reduction of symptoms early on in treatment.

Sometimes it's the small things that throw you off - a kind act goes unappreciated, a loved one doesn't pick up your call, someone cuts in front of you on line - any one of these situations can open a core wound, ushering in anxiety or depression. But what if I told you that you can learn to avoid falling into reactive states and move through your world in serenity and happiness? There resides in you a boundless source of love and joy - a source that together we can tap.

Learn to be proud of who you are, not who you think you should be. Anxiety and feelings of low self worth that tell us we’re not enough or that we’re less than can seep into all parts of our life, negatively affecting our confidence, who we choose as friends and romantic partners and squash our career aspirations. Believing you’re not good enough holds you back from so much that life has to offer.

Denise is a NY state licensed clinical social worker whose experience since graduating from NYU’s MSW program in 2004 includes working with a vast range of clients in a multitude of settings which include hospital, forensic, and college counseling centers.

Do you find yourself repeating patterns with the same unsatisfying results? Are you struggling with a transition that has left you feeling like you’ve lost your ground? Maybe there are parts of yourself you want to explore but you’re feeling fearful or don’t know where to begin? I collaborate with you to create a space of compassion, curiosity, and safety that helps you uncover the wisdom behind your distress and supports you in making the changes you seek. I work with adults across a range of areas including intimacy/attachment issues, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and complex trauma.

You may find that you want to feel more self confident and self assured. Or you might struggle to quiet the little voice that says over and over again that you are “too needy” and that you’re “never going to get better”. Your relationship troubles you, and you worry, "am I with the right person?". You have a deeply sensitive nature and frequently feel let down by others. Sometimes, it’s hard to know what you want, and it’s even harder to ask for it. You have this vision for your life that is brighter, softer, kinder, and more full but you don’t know how to get there.

I am passionate about working with individuals seeking support with identity, depression, anxiety, trauma and loss.

I am a NYS licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience working in the field of mental health. I have extensive experience working with college students, young adults and the LGBTQ population. I have expertise in a wide range of difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, grief/loss, women's issues and infertility. While I consider myself a generalist, I also hold a specialization in Clinical Health Psychology.

The belief that we are all inherently deserving of connection, compassion, and curiosity is the thread that pulls itself through all of my work. I offer psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and multi-partner relationships. I am able to support people through experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, gender, sexuality and sex, interpersonal issues, body image, life transitions, and shame. Much of my work focuses on supporting people who are LGBTQ, and I specialize in working with transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary (TGNCNB) people, polyamorous/non-monogamous people, and folks in kink communities.

Initial session is always free of charge. As a holistically-oriented mind-body psychotherapist, I provide a warm and affirming therapy experience dedicated to your healing and happiness. We will work together to help you get unstuck by addressing internal & external obstacles. This is your time to go beyond survival to thriving with a life that you love. I work with adults on issues such as procrastination, anxiety, sadness, depression, life transitions, boundary-setting, OCD, trauma, PTSD, abuse, feeling stuck - as well as managing ongoing stress stemming from work, housing, relationships, & family.

Accepting NEW CLIENTS via Tele-therapy! Whether you are seeking to improve your relationships, increase your overall well-being, or are encountering significant life challenges, I am here to assist you in achieving your personal goals. It is my belief that therapy is an empowering resource that can help you re-author your life. It would be my privilege to work with you in a supportive alliance guided by open respect and acceptance. I am dedicated to providing you with a safe and supportive environment where no topics are taboo and all of your thoughts and concerns may be explored.

Let’s prioritize your wants, needs, and desires. Therapy is a space where you get to receive the attention you may have not been gifting yourself. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, LGBTQ+ challenges, or any other stressors, let’s collaborate to create a life that serves you on your terms. I support adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. One of my specialties is providing support to LGBTQ+ populations. As a transgender woman, I know first-hand what it’s like to be part of an oppressed group living in a world that is unkind to people like me.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you having relational issues? Have you survived a trauma or scary experience and are looking to heal? I would like to help. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. As a psychotherapist, I work within a supportive relational framework and incorporate varied behavioral modalities. My therapeutic approach is warm, empathetic, and validating. I believe that healing only occurs within a safe therapeutic relationship. We can work together to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms and continue the journey to well being.

I work in private practice and see individuals with many different needs, but my main area of expertise lies in treating teens and adults with autism (previously known as Asperger Syndrome (AS). Many of my autistic clients share characteristics with my "neurotypical" clients. Who hasn't fumbled when speaking to a potential friend or date? Have you ever been told that you misinterpreted something someone said? For individuals with autism, this happens all the time, and most "neurotypicals" can empathize with that.

Therapy is a space where the past and present can be looked at through new eyes, recontextualized and reunderstood. Far from an academic exercise, a safe therapeutic space that allows for this work can open new possibilities for self-directed living in the world and relating to others. I work with patients to illuminate, clarify, and construct a space where old ways of relating and entrenched patterns of suffering can be understood and moved beyond. While this experience can be challenging, it can also profoundly rewarding.

I am a licensed creative arts therapist who works with adults and adolescents in helping them resolve their mental health issues. I specialize in PTSD, anger management, grief, depression, suicidal prevention and relationship problems using creative arts modalities. My approach to therapy involves creating a safe space for clients to express their inner feelings/conflicts freely. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults at a psychiatric inpatient unit in a New York City hospital. I am currently accepting new clients and am available on weekdays and Saturdays for therapy sessions. I am bilingual in English and Korean.

My policy is, come as you are, in whatever state that may be. Are you going through what feels like a never-ending cycle of intrusive thoughts? Do you often find yourself stuck in an anxious loop, that eventually leaves you stuck and unable to make decisions? Whatever the concerns are, I can help stabilize your mind and find solutions to maintain a general sense of well-being and mental clarity. Usually this starts with addressing our emotions, bringing ourselves to a calm place in order to acknowledge the problems. Big problems are usually small at first, no matter how trivial they are, and it’s completely okay to talk about them!
