Therapists in New York, NY

In order to shift anything, one must reach, with a gentle touch, the parts of ourselves that are able to transform. It’s only human to want to heal in order to function at our optimal capacity, whatever that might be for us. I passionately hold that we could all use a way to slow down our rapidly evolving lives—a way to hold space for what drives us forward, or slows us down in ways we’d like to speed up. Therapy is a space to peel back layers to help you move toward being fully expressed, in steady, easy participation with your life—even with its inevitable ups and downs and the in-between spaces.

I am a skilled and caring psychotherapist with specialization in treating anxiety and depression, substance abuse and problem gambling and working with families and partners affected by a loved one's substance abuse. I have advanced training in psychotherapy and training in Mindful Meditation.

In our initial 90 minute consultation, you will find me interested, interactive, emotionally present and attuned to you. By the end of this consultation you can expect me to be forthcoming about how I see the problems you present. You can also expect me to be clear and specific about the psychotherapy process I will recommend for you and its rationale. You will learn a great deal about me from my questions, comments and my way of being with you. At the end of our consultation, you should have no difficulty deciding whether or not I could be a good therapist for you.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works primarily with young adults. I have extensive experience and training in a variety of therapeutic modalities. My practice emphasizes evidence-based treatment approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), combined with other treatment methods such as mindfulness and desensitization to help with anxiety, depression, work-related stress, difficulty in relationships, and health problems, among many other difficulties. My work with children focuses on helping them overcome social, emotional, and behavioral challenges.

I work with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, career stress, and life transitions. I assist clients in achieving goals, making important decisions, and pursuing their versions of happiness. Engaging in therapy isn’t just a way to help you with your current life stressors, it’s an investment in your current and future self!

Hello and welcome! We are meeting here because you are seeking help for yourself or for a loved one. Would you like to live more freely, more authentically, and to have real choices? Is a recent life transition, or an unexpected experience causing you unmanageable stress, anxiety, or pain? Do you struggle in personal or work relationships? Do you wish you felt self-assured or calm most of the time? Might you want to feel more fulfilled and to be able to tap into your inner creativity in ways that feel deeply gratifying? Or, are you a caregiver to someone with a neurodegenerative disease or the parent of a child with special

Change is difficult, and often unavoidable. I work with people who are looking to overcome the obstacles in their lives. Everyone needs growth, and often the greatest opportunities are found in the greatest of challenges. Though we cannot always choose what happens to us, we can always exercise self awareness and decide how we are going to move forward. It is when we disengage from our struggles and the need to move past them that we cease to make conscious decisions. My clients come to therapy looking for their own unique transformation. It is my great privilege to assist them in making it happen.

Are you experiencing anxiety or thoughts that you feel are challenging to control? Do you ever feel overwhelmed or burnt out? Do you feel like you’re stuck in a pattern of thoughts and behaviors that you can’t get out of? We all experience challenges in our lives which can affect our functioning and our happiness. My goal is to help you navigate through these unexpected obstacles that may arise and recognize that healing is not always an easy process.

Sad, worried or anxious? I can help. I'm a Columbia University trained warm and kind LCSW-R active-listening savvy summarizer seeking to be your support. Often people share issues with me and apologize for "rambling". But I welcome a chance to condense concerns in a concise way. My private practice is reinforced by over 30 years of diverse experience as a Clinical Social Worker. I've worked in many mental health and medical settings, and have confidence helping with a range of stresses. You don't need to endure unhappiness or loneliness.

I believe that therapy should not be a mysterious process. A client should should have a sense of the direction, the framework, and the goals. I am a therapist who is active and engaged. I believe in providing feedback and sharing my thoughts and opinions. In other words, I do not want to sit back and only nod my head. I will provide direction to help you. We'll work together in a non-judgmental and safe environment with active and honest communication.

Jenna Shnayerson, LMSW, is a licensed social worker and a skilled member of the clinical team at Rappore. She earned her Master’s in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College with a focus on providing high-quality, culturally inclusive clinical support. Jenna has experience working with a diverse population of clients, helping adults and older adults manage grief, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, and navigating challenging life transitions (e.g., divorce, the death of a loved one, retirement, etc.). She also has clinical family therapy experience.

When you begin to feel limited by your own mental attachments, it's easy to get stuck in a pattern of self-doubt, attacking yourself for causing trouble. Though it can be hard to see, our deepest wishes are to heal, grow, and expand into a fuller experience of vitality.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. Therapy can be one of the most important tools we use to manage stress and improve our confidence and relationships. The value of having a safe space to share your thoughts and feelings can't be measured. My role as therapist is as an empathetic guide and as a supportive and objective presence. I provide feedback which is reflective, constructive and without judgment. I aim to provide you with tools you can utilize in your daily life, and with the understanding to help you remove unconscious roadblocks and reframe unhealthy thinking patterns.

I am committed to creating an atmosphere of trust, respect, and honesty. I listen attentively and believe that the relationship that we create together is the most important tool for our work together. My orientation is also psychodynamic, which means that I believe in the central role of the unconscious, past history and emotional forces. I apply this approach to many kinds of issues (depression, anxiety, addiction, difficulty in interpersonal relationships, general sense of dissatisfaction with life). My goal is to help you develop the awareness, insight, and psychological skills that you will be able to use later on your own.

If you are sufferring, in emotional pain, and wishing things would change, I would like to help. I've been trained by John Gray (of Men are from Mars fame), Dr. Sue Johnson (Emotionally Focused Therapyc- Advanced Levels) and numerous other experts to become an expert myself in working with relationship issues. Marital infidelities, overcoming fear of committment and understanding the nature of a healthy attachment to a significant other are areas in which I am able to work and help those seeking assistance.

Psychotherapy is to the mind what the immune system is to the body. It protects and strengthens. Our mental health is a measure of how strong the relationships in our lives are. Our sense of wellbeing is linked to our ability to create and sustain healthy connections with other people. When our needs for safety, trust or atunement haven't been met; where there was or is neglect, abuse, or other traumas, our nervous system's capacity to regulate feelings gets compromised.
