Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA

You're trying your hardest to feel connected to your loved one(s) but instead you end up feeling the opposite. You're tired of overthinking and missing the mark. You might be experiencing the "what ifs" as I call them: "What if my partner is unable to meet my needs? Maybe they don't care to...What if breaking up is the best thing? Do they even love me?" I want you to wake up excited to spend the day with your partner...and actually enjoy the day together! Without any casual conversations turned fights, without avoiding intimacy, without constantly triggering one another. Healthy communication not only exists, it's within your reach.

Do you lack self-confidence? Achieving greater self-confidence can lead to immense improvement in every area of one's life. Depression and/or anxiety can develop as a result of low self-confidence, often stemming from early childhood experiences. I have substantial training and experience in helping patients to understand themselves better and to receive the support that has been lacking in their lives. I completed extensive postgraduate training in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health. Call me to set up your free consultation. I look forward to seeing you.

Psychologist, PhD

I continue to be amazed by the power of relationships to heal the deepest, most persistent sources of pain. I am committed to helping people make contact with the parts of themselves that are whole and healthy, those that are untouched by whatever difficulties or trauma they may have experienced. I do this by paying close attention to your thoughts and feelings in the present while also including your body in the process, noticing how you experience your feelings physically. Throughout this process we work collaboratively to harness your innate resources for growth, resilience, and change.

Felise Dezen
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
What I love most about therapy is that it offers an opportunity for a person to explore their thoughts, feelings, opinions, and develop a more meaningful understanding of our behaviors (the good, the self-sabotaging, and the in-between). Where else in life do we get to focus on ourselves in this constructive way? Therapy is one of the best gifts someone can invest their time, energy, and money in that will benefit all facets of their lives.
Fredric T Perlman
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, PhD, FIPA, FABP
Verified
I'm a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with more than 35 years of experience. My goal is to enable my clients to better understand themselves and their hidden emotional conflicts. Self-awareness and self-knowledge are empowering because our deepest desires for love, connectedness, and achievement are typically tangled up in bad feelings - like shame, guilt or anxiety -- that obstruct us from pursuing their fulfillment. These bad feelings are often based on unrealistic ideas, the residues of childhood experience. I work with clients to disentangle their vital wishes from these constraints so that they can live more authentic and creative lives.
Karen A Dwyer-Tesoriero
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
As a seasoned professional with over 22 years experience, I have helped many clients with feelings of anxiety, irritability, depression, anger and those who have experienced trauma and complex trauma. I work with people to identify how they would like to improve their lives and help clients through the change process. Making a change can be overwhelming. Using strengths that you already have, we will accomplish your goals and make changes you desire. I am currently offering EMDR Intensives, which are half or full or multiple day EMDR sessions created just for you with you. My website has more info about EMDR Intensives.

Counselor, LMHC

You’re feeling overwhelmed with what life has thrown at you recently–your transition to motherhood, a new career, or a painful relationship that you can’t quite navigate on your own. Or perhaps you’ve realized your relationship to food, exercise and your body take up more of your thought life than you’d like. You’re aware that something isn’t right, but you’re not sure how to move forward. Starting therapy is scary, and also so brave of you! I believe connection is the foundation where healing and change can take place, so I first seek to build an environment where you feel understood and accepted.

Any loss can devastate you: a romantic partner leaves; you develop a serious illness; your job ends; a spouse dies; You have a miscarriage, or an empty nest, or your partner is unfaithful, or your child has serious difficulties, or you beloved pet dies or your childhood was abusive. Your responses can include: depression, anxiety, guilt or unending grief. I work with men, women, adolescents and couples who struggle to find symptom relief and greater life satisfaction. My office is a convenient and very private environment in which I spare people psychological jargon and base sessions on mutuality and respect.
Linda R. Rosenberg
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with over 25 years of experience helping a wide range of individuals. All shared feelings of being stuck or blocked in fundamental areas of their lives. Powerful feelings and beliefs involving shame, fear, anger and sadness had disconnected them from inner sources of strength and self-esteem, and had prevented them from living and working freely and fully. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative relationship in which we identify and resolve those obstacles, leaving you with a new or renewed sense of authenticity, energy and hope.
