Navigating online profiles to find the right therapist can feel overwhelming and exhausting especially if you feel emotionally depleted. I understand the courage it takes to open up to a complete stranger since I've been there myself. Throughout my 20+ years as a therapist I have worked with individuals who have felt trapped in toxic romantic and/ or family relationships. Others have trust issues, social anxiety, depression and chronic illnesses. Some feel lonely and grapple with their ability to connect with others. More recently my work has also focused on depression and social isolation/anxiety induced by the impact of Covid.
Peggy Kane
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, ACSW
Verified
I work with clients from their 20s to their 60s and beyond. Many come to me struggling with relationships, careers, and difficulty coping with transitions, loss, and change. With more than 30 years of experience, I have helped many clients come to understand how their own beliefs, experiences and behaviors have contributed to their unhappiness. Through our work together, many have forged new, satisfying relationships, made better friends, saved faltering marriages, discovered fulfilling jobs and even new careers. I especially enjoy working with college and graduate school students, as well as with young adults dealing with the challenges of transitioning to the world of work.

Alexandra Schraub
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
As a licensed clinical psychologist, my primary goal is to foster a safe, focused, and collaborative environment to help my patients understand themselves, their relationships, life/thought patterns and behaviors, in order to find healthy ways to manage and, ultimately, thrive. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is fundamental to this, and serves as a foundation for developing the insight to grow, as well as the coping strategies needed to tolerate discomfort and build new thought circuitry. I have a multi-theoretical training background, and I use this to tailor treatment to my patients individualized needs.

Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP, EdM, MA
Verified
Recognizing that taking the first steps towards seeking help can be frightening, I bring a warm and compassionate presence to help create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to feel comfortable sharing their concerns. I use a versatile and relational style to ensure clients feel heard, seen and understood. In my therapeutic work, I believe it is important to consider how political influences, societal narratives, intergenerational and genetic predispositions are interwoven to shape one’s emotional being.

Max Malitzky
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
Therapy works best when it helps us get in touch with things we are unaware of and which cause us discomfort. We are all motivated to avoid painful thoughts, feelings, and memories. That lack of awareness can sometimes cause pain or worry, or influence the way we behave and create difficulties in our personal and professional lives. Together we will discover and process these painful thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment. This process can take a lot of work but can be transformative, often leading to a greater sense of personal choice and freedom.
Gabrielle DiVincenzo
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

We are all born with the capacity to connect and communicate. I am here to help facilitate both. It is not impossible to connect with your child or spouse, nor for them to connect with you! I am here to help couples work through their disconnect or communication issues, as well as to help teens and children with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, or low self-esteem. Each member will come together in the name of a common goal, learn new skills, and develop more adaptive behaviors that will allow happiness into the home.

Life is full of transitions and hardships, and for a person struggling with an Eating Disorder, Addiction, Anxiety, OCD, Depression or Relationship stress (whether as a parent, a partner, or a child) managing that change can often become overwhelming and more challenging.

Lydia Denton
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

What makes my work different is how much I focus on the specific issue you want to target. I bypass the need for long term therapy.
I use my own model that combines Energy Psychology, EMDR and Hypnosis. A mind body philosophy that supports and encourages the inherent healing present in all of us. I also work with couples helping them move towards security and safety and using each other as a secure base.

I most frequently work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Common goals of therapy include boosting self-worth and assertiveness skills; improving communication, connection, & intimacy in relationships; developing strong coping mechanisms for managing worrry, angst, sadness and self-doubt; clarifying and surmounting personal and life goals (i.e., forming meaningful relationships, career acceleration, improved health) and mastering life transitions (i.e., new parenthood, job change, relationship break-up, retirement). Therapy with me is highly engaging and collaborative.

While NYC has much to offer, one can get caught up in the challenges and hardships that come along with the fast-paced and exhilarating life style. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, jobs, or having negative thoughts you just can’t seem to redirect, know that you don’t have to untangle them alone. It takes a great deal of courage to seek help, and doing so is the first step towards change. As a therapist, my role is to establish a secure and nurturing environment that allows for vulnerability, risk-taking, and discomfort in order to fuel self-exploration and promotes healing.

Maia Miller
Psychologist, PhD

We all experience difficult times in our lives -- periods when things feel overwhelming and hopeless and we just can’t seem to get out of our own way. Therapy provides a safe, respectful partnership within which to make sense of our sometimes-puzzling experiences, to evaluate our ways of coping with life challenges, and to work together to find new ways to address these and move forward. I work with people seeking help with a wide range of difficulties, including depression and anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions (e.g., starting high school or college, getting married, parenthood, divorce).

My goal as your therapist is to help you develop more self-awareness, enhance your communication skills, and increase your satisfaction in your relationships.

Paul C. Lounsbury
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
As you read my profile and wonder whether or not I'm a therapist you'll find easy to relate to and one who can help you accomplish what you want to achieve, perhaps you can also wonder how ready you might be to do what it takes to accomplish the changes you want to make. If you sincerely wish to solve a problem, connect more spontaneously and meaningfully with others (as well as with yourself) and/or bring about a fuller more satisfying use and embodiment of your innate capabilities, I can help you accomplish that transformation - sooner rather than later.
