Therapists in Carnegie Hill, New York, NY

As a clinical social worker for the past 7 years, I have helped clients dealing with issues concerning anxiety, depression, loss, bereavement and the lingering effects of trauma. My graduate school education includes a focus on bereavement and the grief work model. I have developed therapy groups dealing with all aspects of loss and the ripple effects these accumulated losses having on our current functioning.

It is difficult to acknowledge that something is bothering you, much less to take the courageous step of reaching out and beginning to talk about it with a virtual stranger. Within a safe space, therapy provides an opportunity to develop a unique relationship and discuss whatever brought you here. It is important to me to understand the significance of your particular feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. Together, we will hopefully come to understand the underlying sources of your concerns, as well as new aspects of yourself that were previously hidden from awareness.

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.

As a Counselor, I provide unconditional regard to my clients. I empower them in a compassionate and insightful manner. I offer support through each client’s individual journey. I understand that our past has influenced our present, but it does not need to dictate our future. I believe that with the right tools, knowledge, emphatic support and determination, everyone can move forward through a healing path, maximize their potential and enjoy life to the fullest.

As a psychotherapist, I provide a safe environment for reflection where discovering and exploring fixed patterns that hinder you from realizing goals can lead to awareness. We all have parts of ourselves that we do not understand and feel that we cannot change, often leaving us feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Telling your story and gaining deeper understanding of yourself can have transforming effects on your life. I work with patients facing problems in love, work, family, school, issues with self-esteem, identity, and trauma. My analytic training makes me a skilled and empathic listener, helping to identify themes that lead to insights and more choices.

My aim as a clinical psychologist is to help my clients lead more fulfilling and meaningful lives. We work together to understand and work through obstacles that have been hampering them. I’ve seen many times how that work can not only relieve distress but make possible richer and more satisfying relationships, new ways of dealing with difficulties, and a new sense of self.

I am a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. In my approach, I emphasize empathy and understanding, while helping individuals actively work towards and achieve their goals. To do this, I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. I have experience helping individuals with anxiety, perfectionism, parenting, depression, self-esteem, family conflict, life transitions, social skills, and trauma.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in depression, anxiety, personality disorders, the psychological impact of medical problems, eating disorders, and substance use disorder. I am also a CASAC (Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor). Having been a hospital based social worker at New York Presbyterian Hospital, I have teamed with psychiatrists and other physicians and am comfortable communicating with referring doctors. I work closely with a Cornell professor of psychiatry in my suite, who will quickly do a psychiatric assessment when appropriate and provide medication treatment, if needed.

Do you find yourself suffering? Perhaps you name it depression, or anxiety, or addiction. Maybe you experience it as a gnawing and lingering pain that mourns for genuine relationships and meaning in life. Perhaps you are in a crisis where the only way through is a growth that makes you wiser, more resilient, and more compassionate.  I am happy you are here. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, substance abuse, as well as those with challenging life transitions, relationship difficulties, and crises in authenticity.

Are you struggling to get pregnant? Have you miscarried one or more times? Do you suffer from postpartum blues? Does the idea of surrogacy or adoption feel too daunting to do on your own? Are major life changes too difficult to contemplate? And do they make you feel anxious? While psychotherapy doesn't have all the answers, working together on some of these issues can help you to feel empowered.

My practice centers on acceptance and creating a safe place to explore roadblocks to freedom. I hope to support clients towards authenticity of who they were designed to be. Through a holistic approach I account for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing in how they all cooperate and balance together.

Typically one seeks therapy when feeling sad, worried or STUCK in an unpleasant life situation. You may be unable to control undesirable personal habits, engaging in unhealthy love relationships, or repeating destructive behaviors. I have practiced psychotherapy for 22 years.

I've been in private practice for 24 years as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and a psychoanalyst. My method aims at deep changes in the personality so that your troubling symptoms are relieved in a more permanent way. Often, you don't know why your life feels so unsatisfying,why relationships feel troubled or why you cannot seem to choose what will make you happy.Or there may be just a particular area of difficulty in a life that seems to be going rather well.

No matter how overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, disconnected, lost or alone you feel - we will make sense of it together. We will focus on what is most important to you while acknowledging the impact of past experiences on your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and the way you navigate the world. My goal is to create a space of compassionate curiosity for you to show up as your full authentic self. A space for you to feel seen and heard.

I have been helping individuals, couples, and families resolve interpersonal and intrapsychic issues for more than 30 years. In addition to maintaining a full time private practice in New York City, I am on the faculty, a training analyst, and a senior supervisor at the Institute of the Postgraduate Psychoanalytic Society and a supervisor at the Postgraduate Institute Group Training Program. I am a former co-director of training for The Center for Anorexia and Bulimia.

Hypnotherapy is a proven method to help smokers become non-smokers and people who suffer from many phobias such as fear of flying or elevators become people who are unafraid. With over a decade experience using the most up-to-date and non-directive hypnotic techniques, I have an excellent track record helping people -- usually in two or three sessions.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and low self-esteem. I work with an integrative approach and base my practice techniques on the unique needs of the individual, as psychotherapy is not based on a "one size fits all" approach. I pay close attention to the relationships within a client's life, provide tools on how to effectively challenge troubling thoughts and behaviors, and take into consideration the individual's past experiences.
