Therapists in New York, NY

Trained in both classical and contemporary analysis, I focus on depression and anxiety, sexual and relationship issues, trauma and self-identity problems. We would start with a consultation and our goal would be to establish a fruitful connection from the beginning. My other goals include helping you with your feelings, the troubling ones that return unwanted. I have found listening well is at least as important as talking well. Speech contains levels of meaning and so does silence. We discourse together in a dialogue leading to better relationships, better functioning, and better experiences.

One of the most frequent questions I receive from my patients is "Is this normal?" Normalcy is relative and I encourage my clients to explore what their definition of normal is for themselves rather than measuring their thoughts, actions, and emotions against external standards. As your therapist, I act as an open-minded, unbiased, and nonjudgmental third party who can reflect with you, challenge you, and help guide you toward better insight into yourself and the world around you.

Northeast Psychological Wellness is dedicated to delivering quality psychotherapy services. We specialize in the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with an array of emotional and behavioral difficulties. We provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy. Our therapists specialize in the following clinical issues: anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, OCD, relationship stressors, adjustment problems, substance use, LGBTQ issues, etc. All of our sessions are virtual (by video or phone). We are dedicated to seeing our clients succeed because our success is measured only by our clients’ success.

I believe in creating a relaxed, responsive, collaborative and supportive environment in order to explore your concerns. I enjoy helping children, pre-adolescents and teens navigate the social and emotional challenges of today’s world. I also work with adults struggling with anxiety and depression, disordered eating and body image issues, self-esteem, trauma and relationship issues. I use a strength-based, client-centered approach to uncover the underlying source of the issues, and to identify triggers that can lead to troubling thoughts and behaviors.

You may now be seeking help to simply feel better. However, I have found over my 30 years of practice that working together will usually make your life better! Often anxiety, low self esteem, depression, relationship problems, and underlying conflicts we may not fully understand, limit us from achieving what we want in our lives. Sometimes, we even need to explore and discover what we truly want in order to be happy and successful. My therapeutic approach is proactive as we strive to discover interventions and strategies, based upon deep understanding and your current goals, that will enable accelerated, helpful and lasting change.

Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. Through our work together, you will gain a clearer understanding of yourself by putting your thoughts and feelings into words. My style is interactive and collaborative and my aim is to create an environment of safety that nurtures psychological healing. I have over 10 years of experience treating adults and adolescents in individual, family and couples' therapy. I work with people who struggle with relationship issues, fears, anxiety, anger management, depression, trauma and low self-esteem. My goal is to help you develop a stronger sense of self-awareness, enhance communication skills and improve interpersonal relationships.

As a psychotherapist I offer a nonjudgemental space in which you and I will listen and make room for the reasons that have motivated you to seek help. Working in the present, and looking towards the past when it emerges, we will uncover the reasons underlying your current struggles. As your self awareness expands it helps to loosen the grip of old patterns and engrained ways of relating to yourself and others. In the time and the space that therapy provides, you will be able to better know and understand each part of yourself, and to reconcile what can feel like confusing contradictions within yourself.

Limited space available for new clients. Are you experiencing anxiety or depression; or perhaps you're going through a life, relationship or career transition? Do you want to improve your communications within a relationship or work on other couples issues? Are you one of many people who wrestle with sexual identity questions? Is there a part of you that wants to make things happen for yourself, to create change, to make things better? I am ready to provide a safe and empathetic space for you to explore the many possibilities that are out there for you.

I am a clinical psychologist (licensed in NY, NJ, and PA) who utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) framework to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors contributing toward psychological struggles in their lives. I help clients gain more awareness of their internal experiences, such as thought and emotional patterns, so they can accept, change, and ease their experienced pain. Additionally, I help individuals explore their behaviors and relationships, so they can create life changes in line with their short/long term goals/values.

Do you find yourself struggling, noticing a need for change but find it difficult to achieve? I strive to meet you where you are to support and hold space for you to reach honest emotional expression, an integrated understanding of your experiences and embodied wellbeing. I approach my work with compassion and curiosity, offering a welcoming, creative and even humorous space! Each individual brings their own perception of their needs and worldview. I place great focus on identity, culture, and environment for this space to not only process personal struggles but to also combat oppressive exteriors that compromise our wellbeing.

If you are undergoing mood related disturbances, difficulties controlling your substance use, relationship or work difficulties, or going through a life transition, seeking therapy is a massive step towards positive change.

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.

By practicing from a strengths-based approach, I focus on building client’s self-esteem, confidence, and coping skills so that they are better equipped to face challenges while also celebrating achievements. I am an active, collaborative therapist with training in a variety of therapy modalities, including CBT, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and trauma informed therapy.

One of the most important aspects of therapy and life is to feel connected and grounded: to oneself and to others. I have been working as a psychotherapist for over twenty years with multi-culturally diverse clients in all walks of life. By establishing an empathic connection together, we will work together to achieve this. I work with such issues as depression, anxiety, sexuality, trauma, personality disorders and grief issues. I am very experienced in working also with LGBTQ population concerns, in exploring the coming out process and the priority of self-acceptance.

When people are in emotional pain, they usually try to "fix it" themselves. Making the decision to see a therapist often occurs when they have run out of options. I believe that seeking professional help is an action of hope. I can listen to people's pain because of my profound belief that therapy offers a second chance for a more satisfying life. Through the process of therapy, I can offer a more satisfying life to people who are experiencing relationship issues, depression, anxiety, unhappiness with their lives and couples who are having difficulty in their relationships.

I believe that every individual has the potential to be the best version of themselves.  Life can bring a lot of overwhelming and sometimes, unexpected changes that can be difficult to navigate. Often it is those circumstances that keep us from living a full life. My goal is to provide an environment where positive and healthy changes are made from building a therapeutic connection.

Therapy is a safe and supportive space to grow, explore and challenge belief systems that are shaping your life. I provide psychotherapy in an effort to help clients to better understand themselves, their relationships with others and use that understanding as fuel to live a more meaningful life. When working with clients, I honor their unique life experiences and how it informs their presentation.
