Therapists in Clinton, New York, NY

Anxieties, insecurity, depression, difficult patterns in relationships or work, and problems focusing can be understood and changed, so you have more energy and confidence to devote to living. Become more connected to yourself and others through a specialized process of exploration with a trained professional, and see a difference in your life. A therapist's expertise and experience are very important, but the key ingredient of effective therapy is a "good fit" between you and your therapist. If you'd like to see how it would be to work together, I would be pleased to hear from you.

My name is Stephen McNulty. I'm a Licenced Clinical Social Worker and a psychoanalytically trained psychotherapist. I'm a graduate of New York University and hold an advanced Certificate in Clinical Social Work. I'm also a graduate of the Washington Square Institute for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.

Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults and adolescents explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.

I am easy to talk to, caring, and non-judgmental. I am an experienced therapist, former Clinical Supervisor at Columbia University, and adjunct faculty at the City University of New York. I work with most issues, but specialize in relationships, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and adult female survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

I provide supportive therapy for people who experience relational and family conflicts, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, lack of confidence and sense of self. Helping people to overcome post-traumatic feelings, become stronger and happier I focus on maturation, growing and reaching potentials with persons of any age. I like working with artists, writers and creative people assisting in finding a direction in life. I am proud of success stories of individuals whose obstacle in functioning was Asperger's D/O. I like working with multicultural and gay community.

Are you unhappy with your current situation, stuck in a career, a relationship, going through major changes in life, suffering from trauma or PTSD? I am here for you on the remarkable journey of recovery toward serenity, free from being ruled by negativity. I believe each individual is unique and has the capacity to use his/her inner resource to maximize strengths. I have worked with individuals of all ages from different backgrounds coping with depression, anxiety/phobia, identity issues, marital /relationship conflicts, addictions (including internet/video game addictions), career decisions, parenting, school or job related stress, cross-cultural and generational issues, etc.

You don't want to feel beat down, let down, depressed, overwhelmed, out of control, broken or ashamed. But the daily experience of your life being undervalued by society on top of the difficulties of work, relationships, and personal struggles just seems like too much. You feel like relationships won't work, it's impossible to stop circumstances from getting you down, and you can't win for losing. You doubt who you really are. You question the strength within you, the courage you were born with, and the wisdom from those before you.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, and major life transitions. I draw from my psychodynamic training at NYU, postgraduate psychoanalytic certification, and two decades of experience to help you relieve distress, increase resilience, and improve your quality of life.

Welcome! Finding a therapist can be a daunting process, and it all begins with a conversation. What are you looking for? Perhaps you need help navigating life after loss or trauma, or are feeling stuck in certain self-defeating patterns, or feel unhappy in relationships. Or maybe you are curious to learn more about how you see the world. Therapy is an active and collaborative process aimed at uncovering aspects of your psychology that stand in the way of a richer, more gratifying life. Together, we can work towards helping you create and maintain satisfying relationships, and decrease emotional distress.

Congrats on taking the first step towards improving your life and thank you for allowing me to accompany you on your journey to fulfillment! My approach is grounded on the belief that every individual has the power and potential to create fulfillment in their lives when given the action tools and the opportunity to hear that still quiet voice guiding them "home." My approach is creative, spiritual and client centered. I employ multi-modalities including but not limited to psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Gestalt which I tailor to the clients’ individual style and needs.

I am a Psychotherapist, Life Coach, and Consultant. In a career that began twenty-five years ago in the Middle East, now established in NY, I have seen clients from every conceivable background who have sought nurturing guidance to face trauma, anxiety, grief and sadness. Often, whether working with persons suffering from loss or separation, abuse victims, veterans, refugees, or families of substance abusers, I have witnessed that moment of clarity in a client when they realize there is actually hope for a better, more satisfying life. This, I believe, is the essence of therapy and I strive to smooth the path towards and beyond it.

Are you tired of dead-end dating and disappointing relationships? It's another endless coffee date and you wonder is it me? Perhaps you are in a committed relationship that has lost its spark. You no longer feel special. What's happened to us you wonder? Maybe you are tortured by thoughts of the one who got away and obsess about him daily, but do nothing. Or, maybe you're just too scared to get out there and try online dating and tell yourself it's not for me. Imagine beginning each day with an affectionate moment. Imagine a partner who gets you. Life is so delightful when shared with a loving partner.

My specialties include depression, anxiety, early trauma, issues of loss and bereavement including life transitions - separation, divorce, marriage, changing career paths, pre-retirement.

I believe that therapy is a journey of self-discovery and growth. I aim to create a safe space where you can share your concerns, explore your emotions, and work towards healing. Together, we will work to understand your authentic self and develop the skills and tools you need to navigate life's challenges. I want to help you build stronger relationships with yourself, family, friends, and romantic partners. I am passionate about working with Asian Americans, adult children of immigrants/refugees, and young professionals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, and discontent in their personal and professional lives.

Everyone has their own unique and idiosyncratic means of getting in their own way whether or not they are aware of it. Unfortunately, we are also attached to these ways of hindering ourselves. This is perhaps at the source of most experiences of suffering and can manifest in various symptoms such as anxiety, depression, anger, inhibitions and relationship or sexual issues.

Being queer in today’s world can be TOUGH, and constantly having to explain your identity to your therapist definitely doesn’t make it any easier. As a fellow queer, I am passionate about working within the LGBTQ+ community. You may be struggling to find your place in the community or find a support system that feels safe and validating. You may be struggling to figure out your relationships- maybe you are overwhelmed at the thought of finding a partner, maintaining your relationship(s), or managing conflicting sex drives. Or maybe you need an outlet to talk about how much the worldcan suck and process what that means for you.

People seek therapy because they are suffering. Your suffering may take the form of anxiety, depression, grief, or anger. It may stem from questions about relationships, career, sex, or gender-identity. I will not offer you a one-size-fits-all approach to any issue. Instead, I will open up a space that allows you to speak freely about your experience. I will listen intently and without judgment. Together, we will work towards a richer and more joyful life.
