Therapists in Carnegie Hill, New York, NY

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it." Helen Keller. For more than twenty years as a psychologist, I have been privileged to work with people who are brave enough to overcome their suffering and to make significant and lasting changes in their lives. Psychotherapy helps you address current and long-standing difficulties; experience less suffering; alleviate self-defeating behaviors; build and maintain healthier relationships; become more resilient and adaptable to change; and begin to develop a more accurate understanding of your past and what you want for your future.

Depression, anxiety, rage,envy, jealousy may be blocking your ability to go forward in life, to fully realize your potential. These uncomfortable feelings are usually connected to something you are trying not to face.They are signals you might benefit from a therapist's help. In my work over the past 35 years I have helped many clients acknowledge what they really want in their lives when they feel stuck: finding a new relationship, learning how to fix problems in an existing relationship, getting over a breakup, overcoming a body image concern or out of control eating and/or exercise.

Want to cut down on your drinking without giving it up? 318 studies funded by the National Institutes of Health over the past 39 years have now produced a powerful method for doing so.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a particular interest in life patterns that affect an individual's decisions in their personal life, workplace and with their own discipline. I have experience treating career difficulties, relationship patterns, perinatal mood disorders, parental issues and infertility. In addition, I treat mood disorders, anxiety and life transitional issues. Together we work on treating the problem, recognizing the effects it has on your life and working toward a different more effective experience.

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.

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 integrate information about specific workplace or educational settings with an appreciation for the individual client's learning style.

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.

Are you feeling frustrated in your personal relationships? Unfulfilled in your work? Don't have a clear vision of the future? Therapy can be a powerful experience in which one grows and learns how to better cope with the various challenges and struggles in life. Over the years, I have witnessed and was inspired by the impact of therapy on people's lives. Therapy can tremendously help people live a more fulfilling life where they can understand, accept, and express who they really are.

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 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. Much of my work also involves helping children and their parents. Areas of special expertise involve young children, children with regulatory problems, 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.

I strive to help clients understand their personal issues and dynamics that might be interfering with achieving their success in personal and professional life. I have witnessed the stresses young people feel when facing the pressures of adulthood. Increasingly, these anxieties are associated with economic and social media pressures. Many of these young adults have unhealthy coping mechanisms for dealing with these factors, like substance abuse. Through understanding a person's way of being and looking at the world, healthier behaviors and thoughts can lead to effective change in life.

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.

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.
