Therapists in New York County, NY

Has mainstream medicine failed to help you? Do you continue to feel anxious or depressed as if something is missing in your life? Are you able to feel a sense of calm and curiosity about your feelings, or do they overwhelm you? My purpose is to help you develop perspective about your thoughts and emotions in an empathic, collaborative process. Together we will develop a more compassionate, less judgmental relationship with yourself and others. Over time, we can restore a sense of curiosity and pleasure in your personal and professional lives through targeted interventions.

My approach is a supportive, interactive one that aims to help people better understand their thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Ultimately my goal is to establish a collaborative dialogue that offers a safe place to examine current challenges alongside past formative experiences.

For most people, the decision to enter therapy occurs at a difficult time in life. I recognize that those seeking treatment are often in pain, and I try to find both immediate and longer term ways to alleviate that suffering. I work with both adolescents and adults and help them to gain a greater sense of awareness of their own feelings and the impact they have on others, thereby increasing their options as well as their sense of mastery and autonomy. In doing so, I can help you become aware of avenues and options that never before seemed like possibilities.

For over 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with children, adolescents, and adults as a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist for both psychotherapy and testing/evaluation. My work is constantly evolving and informed by ongoing study of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral functioning, traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, and medical illness, complex trauma, clinical psychopharmacology and medications, parenting/surrogacy/reproductive medicine, and psychological/neuropsychological testing.

Are you (or a loved one) experiencing difficulty with memory or thinking? I offer specialist evaluation, treatment, and ongoing care management for mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, mixed dementia, corticobasal degeneration (CBD), aphasia, long COVID syndrome, brain fog, and memory loss. Through my clinic Isaac Health, I provide compassionate, quality care for patients with brain health conditions and help individuals and families get the answers and support they need.

I engage well with clients from varying ethnicities, and clients that might describe their experience as unique.

If you are seeking out a therapist that others can identify your change and development, then if schedule permits, perhaps we will have a spirit experience in session.

If you're in the process of looking for a therapist you likely have been dealing with obstacles in your life that have felt insurmountable. Anxiety , depression, relationship troubles and questions of identity are all excessive burdens to an often already complicated, stressful life. Maybe you’ve tried to muscle through these issues, but ignoring them has not made them go away. Counseling can be a space where you can build skills that help manage these issues, where you can have a space that you don’t need to filter yourself, or maybe just to have a space where you feel supported.
