Therapists in New York, NY

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an extensive background in anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. I provide therapy for individuals and couples in a safe, judgment-free environment. I've helped many people overcome obstacles to satisfaction in life. My clients have found this work leads to transformation and empowerment. In addition to talk therapy, I have experience providing treatment in different modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Somatic/Body awareness work.

Therapy is the vehicle to self-awareness and self-understanding in the pursuit of more satisfying relationships and greater self-esteem. Gaining insight, identifying needs, and problem-solving create an environment for postive change. I work with eating and body image issues, relationship issues, sexual problems, depression, anxiety and other compulsions and addictions. I work in a supportive and emotionally attuned style. Together we will look at the unhealthy adaptations and work at creating healthier life choices and symptom reduction. My optimism for people's capacity for positive change informs my work and facilitates a trust-building partnership.

We provide counseling and auxiliary services to seniors, the disabled, caregivers, and their families. ISS is committed to helping our clients develop the coping skills necessary to function at one's maximum ability by providing in-home counseling services. Through therapy, our counselors help clients find renewed enjoyment in life and increased emotional well-being. Counseling may also ameliorate the behavioral problems that come with chronic ailments, such as Alzheimer's disease. By addressing the mental health needs of seniors, the disabled, and caregivers, counseling can help lessen the frequency of hospitalization and enhance one's social life.

Are you struggling with supporting a child with special needs, managing your child’s emotional or behavioral difficulties, or navigating the transition to parenthood? If so, you are not alone - I am here to help you. Parenting can be a very rewarding experience, but it also brings many challenges that can lead to one feeling overwhelmed, anxious and even depressed. My philosophy is that parents and families are usually doing the best they can, however challenging circumstances often require professional guidance. I provide families with a warm, supportive and confidential space in which to discuss problems and find solutions.

My clients are seeking to work on their emotional well being and improve their self esteem which helps them with issues including but not limited to family and marital relationships, work stressors, and parenting challenges.

Welcome! Are you having difficulties in your platonic, familial, romantic, or sexual relationships? Have you experienced a traumatic event in your past? Do you wish to explore aspects of your sexuality, identity, or relationships? My clinical focus serves the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as individuals and couples experiencing distress relationally, sexually, emotionally, or physically. Our work together will focus on your inner world and the multitude of pressures, expectations, emotions, intentions, and desires that impact you and your relationships.

I believe that the ultimate goal of therapy is to alleviate pain and suffering, and that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. By developing a caring, empathic, and trusting relationship with my clients, it becomes possible to gain insight and clarity about relationships, problems and personal patterns. It is through this process that one can grow and realize a level of peace and acceptance. I also believe that genuine growth is only possible when I view the clients I work with through the lens of multiple personal identities (e.g., sexual orientation, gender) and cultural identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, religion). I am proficient in Mandarin and can understand 3 other Chinese dialects. Having lived in Asia a significant part of my life, I am familiar with Asian cultural issues.

My practice is limited to adults who are wishing help with problems related to anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, child rearing and stress management. I have been in practice for over 25 years seeing individuals and couples. During the initial consultation, we will talk about the concerns that bring you to consult with a mental health professional. We will discuss the history of your concern. Once I understand the issues presented I will make a recommendation of how to proceed.

Please Note: My practice is Virtual Only. Our beliefs and how we see the world are influenced by things we don’t get to choose, like our families or the circumstances we’re born into. Even if we don’t get to choose these things, we have the ability to change in the ways we want to. Therapy can help us become more free. If you want to begin that journey in self discovery, I’m here to walk with you. We will explore the circumstances that shaped you. We will explore the past, present, and imagine the future. I will help serve as a navigator down the path to your answers, your destinations, and ultimately, your truth.

You are bright, but you often don't know what you want out of life. You find yourself sad, lonely, sometimes rageful, and often without love. You are not alone. I understand the desire for control, and to 'know what to do.' I understand the fear that nothing will change. But you can change, as many have, and I can help.

Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City. Clinical experience of more than 20 years helping patients with a variety of symptoms and relational issues. Fluent in both Spanish and English.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a NYS Credentialed Substance Use Counselor. I see adults of all ages in a comfortable, private and safe setting on the Upper West Side. I think dynamically, but work eclectically. I coach behavioral changes while exploring beliefs, reactions and motivations so you understand yourself better and enhance your options in living. I deeply believe that the more we understand ourselves and our motivations, the greater will be our power to take control of things that previously seemed inevitable.

When conducting neuropsychological testing, my mission is to provide a warm and caring environment and to see the complete person so that you leave feeling like you have been heard. As a trained neuropsychologist I understand neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as attention and learning difficulties and how they affect abilities. Psychological/neuropsychological evaluations include assessment of all brain functioning, academic performance, language, and social/emotional development. My aim is to help determine how you or your child are functioning now and how to best help you move forward.

A lo largo de casi ya 20 años trabajé en lugares muy diversos: hospitales, colegios, una cárcel, el consultorio, juzgados de familia. La diversidad de los conflictos anímicos a los que me vi enfrentado me llevó a la necesidad de proveerme de distintas herramientas para poder abordar cada uno de ellos adecuadamente. Por eso me formé académicamente en psicoanálisis, pero luego, me apropié también de la perspectiva cognitivo-conductual y de la sistémica. Mi objetivo es poder ayudar a la persona que lo solicita con la herramienta más adecuada al conflicto que la trae a terapia.

Do you notice patterns of behaviors that you are unsatisfied with? Therapy is a significant step towards working through and facing life's most difficult challenges. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment in which one feels supported in their efforts to change as well as connected with one's strengths. I work with you to help you overcome life challenges while achieving new goals and reaching new highs! I'm here to listen, support and guide you on a healthy successful path.

Are you feeling stuck, wondering if you have it in you to step forward? You can feel lost, rudderless, unable to see a clear path. Anxiety and feelings of doubt can be unwelcome companions on your way to change. Sometimes life's next choices and changes are just below the surface, they just need to be uncovered. I work to address clients' individual needs through a range of modalities, from structured Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to ongoing Supportive Counseling. I am here to help clients process whatever struggles or challenges they are encountering in their lives.

Psychotherapy is about change, learning how to cope with unwanted changes in life, and initiating positive changes for growth. Finding a therapist who can help you to adjust to these changes, and find new meaning in your life can make all the difference. My practice is informed by the principles of social justice. Mental healthcare systems are also in a process of change toward social justice and I am part of that change.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in individual and couples therapy. I have over fifteen years of experience working with a wide variety of clinical problems. I am most interested in working with individuals who are curious about themselves and who believe that they may find some relief from their struggles by examining their thoughts and feelings in the context of their relational history. I work by listening deeply and reflecting with you on the meanings of the narrative you produce. I am very focused on collaboration and will check in often regarding your experience.

I combine compassionate care with evidence-based therapies to enable you to set and meet goals, feel better, and live the life you want and deserve. My goal is to provide you with a caring, comfortable, and supportive environment to discuss your concerns and help you develop new skills to improve your quality of life. Some of my clients only require a few sessions while others may benefit from longer-term counseling. I offer video therapy to patients using a secure video chat platform. This allows you to see a therapist from the comfort and convenience of your own home. When I'm not seeing patients, I am a professor at Rutgers.
