Therapists in Carnegie Hill, New York, NY

I work primarily with college students and young adults who are looking to alleviate symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress. My work with clients is firmly rooted in evidence-based practices and I am an active participant in sessions. Often my clients are looking for concrete ways to help improve their overall wellness as soon as possible. I use strategies that include Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques; my practice is also influenced by my years of work within the field of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

As Executive Director and Clinical Supervisor, I oversee a group practice that provides a broad range of clinical services, including neuropsychological assessment, consultation, and therapeutic services. Neuropsychological evaluations include: COVID-19 cognitive assessment, memory, ADHD, autism, learning disorders, and concussion/TBI. Forensic services include: expert testimony, Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), and fitness for duty examinations for law enforcement. I also provide consultative services for select teams in the NBA and NHL (e.g., concussion and sports performance), as well as assessment for media/television.

...Here comes the sun..." It's time to brighten your mood with therapy. I listen carefully to what's bothering you, and give perceptive feedback to relieve your distress. I respect and enhance your natural problem-solving abilities and offer new solutions. Therapeutic benefit increases when we tailor payment options to fit you, although I do not accept insurance. Growth occurs by building trust in our relationship and listening to the music that is in you.

People usually seek therapy when they experience unhappiness. And reaching out for help when that occurs takes courage. With compassion, respect and care, we will work together to address your challenges, focusing on your feelings, thoughts and desires. We will explore how you function in the world and help you to connect insightfully to that part of your self in need of attention and support. Identifying and exploring patterns in your life, you can learn to manage emotional/behavioral barriers. We will be doing all this in a safe and comforting place.

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.

I am passionate about helping my clients understand how they, despite their best efforts, consistently act in ways that don't further their goals. I help people get unstuck from unproductive patterns of behavior. Whether you're struggling in your personal or professional life, or want a more fulfilling integration of the two, I can help you to better understand what stands between you and the realization of your aspirations. The therapeutic process is an adventure, one we'll navigate together. I promise to bring my genuine curiosity, integrity, sensitivity and optimism to our work.

Are you or a loved one feeling stuck - uncertain about navigating changes in your life, how you see yourself, or how to reconnect with those close to you? When we feel stuck, taking steps forward can feel like a monumental task. We can work together to break down your thoughts and uncertainties, determine the best way forward, and put practical strategies into action, to empower you to create the life you want for yourself. In me, you'll have a collaborator who will listen and follow your lead but also be willing to challenge you and continue to motivate you towards achieving your goals. Let's figure out the next steps together.

These are not easy times and so many of us are feeling anxious and overwhelmed. You may be feeling isolated, disconnected in your relationships, or struggling in your career. Through it all, connection is what grounds us, and therapy is based on connection. Let’s figure out together where you are stuck, where you've lost your way, and what gets in the way of warmth and closeness with the people who matter to you the most. During our time together, I will be present in an actively collaborative way as we figure out how to clear a path to the life you want.

I am a learning specialist in private practice with 30 years of experience. I offer individualized instruction to children and adults with learning difficulties, as well as customized enrichment to gifted children. I analyze, assess, and identify individual needs, and develop a cohesive Education Action Plan to put into action. My comprehensive and integrative approach bridges the disciplines of neuroscience and education. It is designed to optimize each student's individual strengths and address specific goals in a timely and dynamic way.

I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice for nearly 30 years. I graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a Ph.D. in clinical and developmental psychology in 1979 and the New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute in 2000. There are times when life can be a struggle, whether in your personal relationships, achievements at work, or life's transitions. You may feel depressed, suffer from panic, or experience anxiety. My years of experience and post-graduate education make it possible for me to work successfully with people in need.

I have 30+ years experience as a clinical psychologist taking care of patients in crisis and helping people with emotional concerns. My practice primarily involves adults who are struggling with relationship issues, work problems, anxiety, depression, or just a vague sense that something is wrong or missing in their lives. Many patients started treatment feeling unmotivated, empty, or cut off from their emotional life. It's rewarding to see people make profound changes. My work also involves helping children. Areas of special expertise involve young children, children with regulatory problems, ADD,twins, adoption and autism.

I may not be the right therapist for everyone. A successful therapeutic relationship begins with a rapport between the therapist and their patient. Often, patients will meet me and we have an instant empathic connection. We both have a gut feeling it will develop into a good working alliance. My goal is to help patients become more aware of their obstacles, to find ways to resolve their inner conflicts, and make better choices. Patients are often unaware of how deeply other people and experiences have impacted them.

Do you feel stuck? Are you frustrated in your personal relationships or unfulfilled at work? Do you find that despite your best efforts, you consistently act in ways that don't always further your goals? In our work together, I can help you find a better understanding of what stands between you and the realization of your aspirations. Recognizing unproductive patterns of behavior is the first step to getting out of them.

Let's bring more calm, creativity, and confidence into your life. I work with kids, teens, and adults who are going through a rocky time.

My clients are busy New Yorkers, who are seeking therapy online because it's more convenient and simpler to make the ongoing commitment this way.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker with advanced training in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis at Manhattan Institute. I treat people who are depressed, anxious and often are having severe difficulties in their personal and business relationships. As a therapist I make use of my analytic training, my continuing study of mindfulness practices and my experience working as a staffer and consultant in companies large and small. In therapy I listen carefully. But I also try to respond in ways that encourage deeper reflection and understanding of conflicts and impasses that bedevil them.

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.

Are you feeling blue and can't lift yourself out of it? Do you feel stressed and worried, have difficulties in relationships or just not living up to your full potential? As a Clinical Social Worker and Psychoanalyst who has been in Private practice for more than 30 years, I have come to know that talking to someone in confidence and without judgment is healing. I am committed to helping people gain mastery over personal conflicts which often cause anxiety and/or depression, so that they can realize their goals and passions. This allows for the experiencing of one's self in an authentic way.
