Out of Network Therapists in Chelsea, New York, NY

I am a University of Pennsylvania trained, millennial, Indian-American, psychotherapist who utilizes emotion-focused methods to help you generate a stronger sense of self. My main goals in therapy are to help you feel less alone with your emotions and to help you feel more understood in your experience as a POC in the United States. As a second generation immigrant myself, I can relate to the unique challenge of straddling two very different cultures and trying to fit in with both. Oftentimes, I will draw from my personal experience of navigating similar cultural, generational, and racial clashes to better support you.

Looking for a therapist may seem like a daunting task, but it does not have to be. Please feel free to reach out and call, or email if preferred. I am a Licensed Psychologist extensively trained in providing both short-term goal orientated therapies and longer more in-depth therapies. I fully believe that therapy can be "transformational", helping identify and change destructive patterns, developing "strength", and exploring new ways to cope with situations. Late Child and Early adolescent services will be provided starting in Early September. Please call regarding any questions, "goodness of fit", and out of network fees.

Engaging in psychotherapy can be transformational and life changing. Sometimes all of us feel a little stuck, overwhelmed, lost, or alone. Whether you are facing a difficult time coping, feeling overwhelmed by current stressors, or have longstanding challenges, working with a psychotherapist can enable you to navigate a path forward and provide you with the tools to cope.

**TELEHEALTH SESSIONS ONLY** As they say, the only thing permanent in this world is change. Change, like people, comes in different shapes and sizes. It could be as simple as changing clothes, to more complex ones like a break up, death, or coming out. My goal is to help you manage and deal with changes in your life. By providing you with a safe and comfortable environment and my use of various therapeutic techniques, my hope is that you will feel supported, heard, understood, and obtain the necessary coping skills to help you through this journey called life.

Whether you seek help with specific problems or to improve overall sense of well being I can help. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 16+ years experience helping people with life's challenges. I believe that when experience is overwhelming we cannot integrate it into a comfortable view of ourselves or the world. Past experience informs our current understanding and influences how we feel and act. Increasing awareness of those connections frees us to to be open to new ways of feeling and being. This empowers us to make different choices in shaping our future.

Dr. Pete approaches clinical work from a cognitive orientation, including a variety of evidence-based treatments while creating an open dialogue about treatment techniques, goals and culture. The main focus is on improving wellbeing and reducing stress including integration of Eastern traditions such as Buddhism and Yoga. This has lead to the authorship of several books and research articles on the utilization of mindfulness for effective leadership, building effective teams, and improving the wellness of high performing professionals (athletes and executives).

Contacting a therapist can feel awkward and scary. Be assured that your internal and external life can and will improve. We can work at a pace you feel comfortable with. We all want freedom from our emotional pain. Worries or anxiety, anger or depression, insomnia, relationship conflict or traumatic memories may lead to escape or excessive dependence upon externals like food, substances, events, experiences and relationships for relief. Escape never leads to peace. Thankfully, we all can learn to find a dependable source of peace inside, in our minds and hearts, no matter the external circumstances. I can help you get there.

Working together I can help in overcoming personal struggles caused by painful experiences, unhealthy relationships and poor self esteem. Learning to see ourselves through a healthy perspective instead of our criticisms and insecurities can help in creating a healthier approach to overcome the obstacles that prevent us from enjoying a fulfilling life.
