Therapists in New York, NY

I strongly believe in the collaborative nature of therapy - the creative engagement between the client and therapist, working toward a common goal: to help bring a greater sense of well being to you, the client - to your life, your psyche, your body, your relationships, your career, your home. I have a background in film, which makes working with people from the arts a natural fit (though I love to work with clients from all walks of life). Relationship concerns, career concerns, depression, anxiety, existential questioning, trauma, illness, bereavement and addictions are some of the areas in which I have experience.

Therapy is not ‘one-size-fits-all’ and my goal is to provide a space that is uniquely suited to encourage your personal growth and success. I am passionate about supporting clients experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, relationships, and work/school.

Life, at times, can feel heavy and you don’t need to carry the burden of your struggles or experiences alone. It can be challenging to find a space to open up about all the different areas of your life that make you who you are, past and present, and your hope for the future. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, symptoms of trauma, 1st gen family or cultural conflicts, coping with life transitions, relationship issues, identifying & setting healthy boundaries, or the myriad challenges that can arise, I am here to support you in finding your peace.

Your decision to dedicate time to focus on yourself is the beginning of growth and change. An important question is why now? I offer a space where you will feel a sense of safety, trust, and warmth that enables you to open up, share your story, and feel heard and supported, without fear of judgement. I will challenge you to explore outside your comfort zone and discover your potential to do new things, make different choices and respond in new ways. I hope to foster a curiosity about your inner emotional life, a connection to yourself, an exploration of your thoughts, and an openness to new possibilities.

Through the process of psychotherapy, individuals can experience a transformation that brings more energy, optimism, love, ambition, friendships, joy, career success, and improved relationships. It requires patience and time, but the positive changes are worth it. As someone who has learned effective ways to motivate people towards positive changes, I feel fortunate to witness my clients overcome emotional obstacles and achieve the fulfilling life they desire.

I tailor my approach specifically to you. Together, we will work in a non-directive, supportive, and at times, gently challenging environment. Many of my clients have childhood histories of psychological abuse and toxic narcissism. Often these are childhoods that look great on the surface, but underneath, are filled with unspoken pain and cumulative neglect. In recent years I have developed new perspectives on treating these issues. Please see my website for a look at my current writings. I also work with dreams as a way of understanding and working through past dysfunctional patterns.

Welcome! My name is Drew Ullman and I am a Master’s level counseling student at New York University’s Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness program. My goal is to create a safe space for individuals, couples and families to work their journey of self-exploration. It is important for you to feel that the therapy room is a judgment-free zone where you can feel comfortable being vulnerable and at the center of our conversations. My areas of interest include working with teenagers and young adults who are experiencing difficulties related to anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, and healing from trauma.

Our social world can be an overwhelming, stressful place that leaves parts of ourselves unseen and unheard. I believe in creating a holding space, a place of openness and compassion, where you can dare to be yourself. In psychotherapy, we come together to better understand how elements of your internal and external worlds are interacting (or not interacting). Sometimes what has long been unseen and unheard can transform into awareness. Together, we can look at whatever emerges to find new ways of understanding your experiences. With care and support, small steps forward, however subtle, can yield transformation.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am trained to think systemically and work with individuals, couples and families. I have worked with a wide range of presenting problems, such as: depression and anxiety, stress related to life transitions (such as marriage, pregnancy, graduation, switching careers, etc), relationship & family issues, issues related to parenting and children, trauma, chronic pain, and more. I am always looking to expand on my existing knowledge; aside from my master's degree and extensive training, I am also completing my doctorate in couple & family therapy (expected graduation in 2024).

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children through adults. I have extensive clinical experience and am an expert Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I’ve been trained by top therapy institutes, am a board member for well accomplished CBT organizations, and run the official podcast for the national CBT organization. I strive to regularly advance my knowledge and provide leading scientific treatments. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, trauma, stress, insomnia, ADHD, defiance, and work/school issues. Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

I am an easy to relate to therapist who has an uncanny ability to balance warmth and validation with being genuine and direct. I will collaborate with you to determine the way of relating, therapeutic style, and specific therapy interventions that make you feel most comfortable and are the most successful. I will use my expert training and education, using a growth oriented approach, to help you recover from depression, manage anxiety, improve your relationships (work, family, friendships, and romantic), and cope with general life stressors.

I am a warm, collaborative, and empathetic therapist. I aim to be supportive and goal-oriented and believe we all possess the ability to make progress toward positive change. Having support along that journey can go a long way in achieving the goals we set for ourselves. My goal is to help you find a healthy perception of yourself and strengthen your relationships so that you can know yourself as peaceful, complete, and safe.

It is sometimes difficult to know the direction one must take in life because of the influence of family, friends, and even strangers. Advice may be plentiful, but not helpful. I help by offering supportive and collaborative conversations so that you may find your own voice, use the skills and creativity that you have to survive life's challenges, transitions and relationships. I have made a commitment to work with individuals, and their families (when desired and available) to improve relationships, heal pains, and stregthen bonds.

The burdens of life may become too heavy for us to carry alone or the pain too great to sustain in silence. Painful relationships, negative self-judgments, and unresolved past experiences can impair our ability to bounce back from difficulties. I will strive to co-create with you a therapeutic relationship based on trust, hope and respect, and in which you are in charge at every step of the process. I will help you uncover your inner strengths and capacities for growth and healing. Together we will discover the nature and the source of the obstacles you face.

You've put some effort into getting to this site so let me help. I've been working with people in crisis for over 30 years, the first 5 of them in an Emergency Room, later moving to do family work on an inpatient psychiatric unit. I teach other therapists now the importance of empathy in working with people struggling with anxiety, addiction, depression and in crisis. I have a private practice in New York City and Hartsdale in Westchester County.

As a compassionate and caring therapist/coach I collaborate with my clients to focus on positive self acceptance and creating positive changes in their lives. I work with clients to develop an understanding of their current life situations and feelings that are confusing and uncomfortable for them. We all find ourselves at different stages in our lives faced with old and new feelings and reactions to home, work, family and friends. I believe that through talking about feelings, clients can identify their obstacles to change and develop a better understanding of themselves.

I work with adults, children, and couples who are seeking insight into the root causes of their suffering. We experiment with new understandings for persistent problems, allowing curiosity and empathy to lead the way. As your desires, conflicts, and feelings about yourself and others come to the surface, we look closely at them, and see how they connect to what you are dealing with now. This can change the nature of problems, and sometimes, liberate you from them entirely.
