Dr. Baten incorporates CBT and holistic health in her practice. She helps individuals, children, families and couples develop new strategies to change old patterns. She stimulates emotional growth by teaching people to replace their self-defeating thoughts, feelings and actions with new and more effective ones. Patients are taught to identify the dysfunctional beliefs that lead to negative consequences in their mood and behavior as well as to replace poor food and lifestyle choices. She encourages individuals to be responsible for their own emotions, empowering them to change and overcome unhealthy behaviors that interfere with their ability to enjoy life.

*Currently accepting new clients via telehealth*. It's been an endless search for a therapist who really gets you. Someone who can dive into your problems without making you feel you have to compartmentalize important parts of your life. Someone who can be a safe sounding board whatever comes up.  I want you to know it's ok to show up however you're feeling that day.  It's ok to open up at your own pace.  I will be right here beside you as you discover unique pathways towards resilience, fulfillment and fun.

The best kind of therapy will help you feel more alive to yourself, to others, and to the world. It will imbue your life with color and dimension. In my practice, I have seen countless times how an open, warm and dynamic patient-therapist relationship can act as a remarkable catalyst in people’s lives. Our sessions should work as a vitalizing force against the ways you feel stuck—in dispiriting relationships, self-destructive habits, bleak self-image. This is a chance for both of us to understand you better so that you can let go of the old, rigid patterns and reach for new ways of being in the world.

Jeffrey’s intention as a therapist is to serve as a holistic mirror and a bridge to assist others in realizing their own potential, connecting clients with their own inner wisdom and truth, as well as supporting a process of health, wholeness, and balance. Jeffrey enjoys using empathic humor as a way to engage and build rapport, as well as to provide a means towards levity in otherwise stressful situations. Jeffrey believes in and has witnessed the power of guided communication and perceptual shift that allows others to live lives they truly believe are worth living.

People seek psychotherapy because they are feeling stuck or trapped: stuck in a relationship, stuck in a job, or stuck in repeating some behavior or pattern again and again without knowing why. Psychological symptoms and self-defeating behaviors are not only sources of pain and suffering. When we learn how to listen to them, they contain messages about our deepest conflicts and desires, our anxiously buried wishes, and the histories of ourselves and of our families.

I embrace a pragmatic approach to therapy, encompassing a variety of therapeutic modalities, to address numerous issues. I recognize we all view life from our own, personal context. Exploring our own context allows space for understanding, empathy, forgiveness, healing, and growth. I believe the goal of therapy shouldn't only be relieving symptoms, but also to foster the positive presence of inner capacities and strengths, allowing people to live life with a greater sense of freedom, flexibility, possibility, and contentment.

Natalie works to provide the support clients need, help empower them to face their fears, and to challenge and champion clients when they need it in their journey towards realizing their authentic self. She works to help clients heal from pain, address those places of avoidance, change what is possible, manage what is unbearable, and live intentionally. She strives to equip her clients with tools and realistic action plans to tackle the barriers life throws our way. As a therapist who personally experienced trauma that led to the disability of blindness at the age of 10, and as a woman of color, she has deep empathy and respect.

I have a specialization in helping individuals, families and couples live more successfully with chronic illness and adjust to various stressors. I also have extensive experience treating relationship and family conflicts, challenges of different life stages, depression, anxiety, bereavement, conflicts associated with substance abuse and self-defeating behaviors including when people habitually undermine themselves or find themselves drawn to situations where they will be disappointed, fail or be mistreated. My goal is to help you feel comfortable with the therapeutic process so you can freely discover new alternatives and choices.

Taking the first step toward transformation is often the hardest part, and you just did it! In life we often arrive at circumstances beyond our understanding. These experiences can be the result of attachment style, unresolved trauma, grief/loss or dissatisfaction with life’s journey. At times these experiences distort our perception, or causing sadness or anxiety. These events may diminish our ability to enjoy life the way we would like to. In practice I have supported adults/children cope with depression, anxiety and trauma.

It can be challenging to process all sorts of mixed emotions, as they wear you down in your personal and professional life. You may even begin to have self-doubts, struggling to move forward with your goals. The process of navigating these challenges on your own can be confusing, drowning, and overwhelming. I will work with you to build a collective space where we explore your concerns together, understand your emotions, and help you reestablish meaningful connections with others . I see therapy as interactions where you will be empowered to confront reality and appreciate yourself as a whole.

I am a 2nd generation therapist specializing in working with adult professionals of all ages experiencing life transitions, anxiety and depression, chronic illness and relationship and family issues. I also have 5+ years experience working with individuals and caregivers experiencing both acute and chronic illness and with healthcare professionals.

I believe strongly in the power of relationships and their impact on the emotional and mental health of all individuals. My work with clients is never in a vacuum but always in the context of their life. For this reason my specialty is working with couples and families in conflict, with adolescents seeking identity through peer interactions, and with individuals from minority groups of all kinds who suffer the trauma of being invisible so much of their lives. The style of my work with clients is very interactive, also reflective of my focus on the relational arena.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in practice on the Upper West Side for 20 years. I specialize in individual and couples therapy and work with adults of all ages. I work collaboratively and actively with my clients. The process of therapy includes recognizing patterns in ways of relating to others or in making choices that interfere with feeling satisfied and well. We will look at how those patterns developed as well as how to identify new choices and paths that don't contribute to impairment in mood, relationships, or work.
