Steven Jay Yagerman
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MDiv, DMin
Verified
There is no ideal client. Each client is a unique subject who has been shaped by an infinitely complex set of circumstances; family, culture and inherited predispositions. The one thing that they have in common is that somehow there is a sense that things are somehow not right and yet still entertain a suspicion that things can improve. Working in an open, honest and interactive way, marked by curiosity, compassion and courage we will work together to discover patterns and styles that hinder the experience of joy, intimacy and achievement. Together we will work to overcome the crisis of debilitating guilt, anxiety and depression.

Are you grieving, feeling sad or depressed, anxious, have uncontrollable anger or feelings of low self-esteem? These and other forms of inner conflict can be overwhelming and debilitating. They can cause physical pain as well as fatigue, sleeplessness, eating disorders and a host of other symptoms and behaviors. Psychotherapy can address these issues and help you to lead a more peaceful and fulfilling life. Finding the right therapist is crucial and can be challenging. Location and insurance are practical concerns, but should not be the primary consideration. The rapport between you and your therapist is key to successful treatment.

Counselor, MA, LMHC

Would you like to make positive changes in your life? Create long lasting growth in your relationships, and develop a sense of self understanding and awareness? These are all valid and common desires that can be achieved with the proper guidance and support. I have been working with clients for many years successfully achieving and maintaining their goals. My theoretical framework for creating a growth promoting climate in which individuals can move forward and become their true self, includes the tenets of empathy, genuineness, and a non judgmental unconditional positive regard.
Margarita Solomonova
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I am a New York-based clinical social worker and life coach. In therapy, I offer a warm and supportive working environment. I primarily work with adults from all cultures and walks of life. I incorporate mind-body philosophy and explain how our conscious and unconscious beliefs affect our mood and dictate how we operate in life. In our work together, you can expect to develop new coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and, ultimately, overcome the barriers that prevent them from moving forward.

(Unfortunately, not accepting new clients at the moment.) I want to first start off by saying welcome! I know therapy can seem intimidating but trust me when I tell you that you've made a huge step in the right direction by seeking support. Life is not always easy and sometimes we fall into waves of anxiety, depression, or just overall day-to-day stress that limit our daily functioning. I also understand that one therapy style does not fit for all therefore I'm mindful with each client's expectations and goals of therapy.

I am trained in EMDR and Focusing-Oriented therapy.

Are you struggling with intense emotions? Are you finding it difficult to cope with painful experiences? I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and also draw from other therapeutic techniques, allowing me to tailor my approach to what works best for your unique treatment. I am passionate about working with clients with self-harm behaviors, relational conflict, and difficulty regulating emotions.

Matthew Klas
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Verified
I understand that each individual comes from a complex and unique background. Due to this, I thoroughly believe that therapy can not be effective under a “one-size-fits-all” perspective. I strive to make my sessions a fully collaborative experience so that your voice is being heard and our sessions are tailored to what is important to you. Through this approach our sessions will be a gratifying experience in which we identify the root of your concerns and make positive change.

Sharon Nolting
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MA, LCSW
Verified
My approach to psychotherapy synthesizes holistic, spiritual and psychodynamic modes of understanding and working. The therapeutic relationship is a safe context for emotional healing and developing greater self-awareness. I help my clients deal with current difficulties and feelings, release old pain to allow the natural growth process to proceed, change dysfunctional patterns which block fulfillment, and empower themselves through awareness and choice. Working with individuals and couples, I respond to each person's unique personality, history and needs in order to bring about the desired changes.

I am currently working both in-person and virtually. My work is primarily catered toward issues such as acute stress, interpersonal difficulties, and challenges involving mood and anxiety. While I welcome individuals of all backgrounds, I am particularly invested in offering services to clients with marginalized identities, acting as a welcoming ally to queer and trans-identified individuals and people of color. As a therapist, I have over a decade of experience working with a range of at-risk populations in a number of professional settings. I specialize in working with adults and teens.

My primary specialty is in the treatment of panic and anxiety disorders. If that is what you're dealing with, then be sure to stop by my website and sign-up for my free online panic attack workshops. Also, check out my YouTube channel for some self-help videos (Channel name: A.J.B. Counseling & Psychotherapy). I used to have a panic disorder, and know exactly where you are coming from.

Anita Morse
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, LP

I am a Jungian Analyst with over 20 years of experience as both a therapist and supervisor in a variety of settings including psychiatric hospitals, outpatient mental health clinics and my private practice. I focus my practice on individual adults and couples who experience relationship issues, anxiety, depression and are searching for meaning in their lives. I explore repeating patterns that prevent individuals from living life to the fullest and try to find other possibilities in dealing with difficult situations. I believe that it is when we experience these difficult times that the greatest potential and most fulfilling change can occur.
Joshua Nelson

My education and training took place at a number of local institutions including Columbia University Medical Center, Lenox Hill Hospital, and New York University. The majority of my work has been with adults, young adults, and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, drug or alcohol use, or post-traumatic stress reactions. These clients have often begun working with me after having engaged in their own long-term struggles. If you are reading this page, then you may be constantly angry or guilty, sad or scared, ashamed or overwhelmed. You may be considering finally trying to reach out for help.
Eric A Fertuck
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I work best with people who desire greater self-understanding as a path toward improving their current life issues, and are open to exploring themselves holistically within a person-centered, professional, and compassionate therapeutic relationship. I collaborate particularly well with people who find themselves repeatedly in relationships or life paths that they feel unfulfilled by, but have not been able to change on their own. I will work with you to tailor a psychotherapy that is designed for your unique difficulties and strengths, and that considers all aspects of you and your life history.
Tami Sasson
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Verified
As women we become so accustomed to living in a state of lack. There is so much guilt around nourishment in our bodies, relationship, desire, money, food, and career. We are taught through trauma and our culture to demonize our bodies leaving us feeling like we never belong anywhere and always on a crusade to fix ourselves and find the answers. This isn't your fault. It is possible to find healing that gifts you back your life, your desires and your dreams. Through learning how to safely re-inhabit your body, you get to learn how to safely re-inhabit your life with consent, belonging, boundaries, choice and powerful vitality.
Julie M Woulfe
Psychologist, PhD

I see our work together as a very active collaboration. From the moment we meet, I’m learning from you what we’re working toward, what has gotten in the way, and what supports you in relationships. I try to be direct and transparent about myself and our therapeutic process together. My aim is to make as much of yourself welcome in the room as possible and to make as much of your experience talkable as possible. I offer ideas on how to integrate the work you’re doing in therapy into your life. I help people with many issues (anxiety, depression, transitions, self-concept), with specialties in trauma & LGBTQIA+ health.
