Therapists in Financial District, New York, NY

Life is overwhelming. There's so much that we are navigating and have pressure to get everything right. The last thing we want to struggle with is the very thing that helps us endure the challenges of life: relationships, sex, & our bodies. Do you find yourself trying to keep everything up and watching your relationships falling by the wayside? Sex & Relationships are important. We have so many ideas about it stemming from media, friends, family, religion and our own sexual history, which can be very confusing and isolating. Sex therapy helps make sense of what you know about sex, sexuality, & relationships

Do you feel stuck in a career, relationship, or addictive behavior that is no longer serving you? Do you lie awake at night with anxiety and worry? Do you wish you felt more happiness in your life? You don’t have to struggle alone with all of the stress you experience. In a supportive and safe space, I can help you heal from the past, overcome your current challenges, and become the best version of yourself.

Are you thinking about making meaningful changes in your life and facing fear? Are you trying to be open to exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors but don't know where to start? Or maybe you're struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges? I seek to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and develop a more integrated sense of self. I use a client-centered approach and draw from various therapeutic modalities to empower clients to live authentically and confidently, and to feel more fulfilled in their lives.

Seeking therapy, or asking for help is not an easy step. And yet, if you are here, it is probably because you are looking for some answers, guidance, and a trustful environment where you can talk about whatever difficult situation you are going through. By taking the first step, you are showing courage and together we can help you learn to embrace your individual strengths to better cope with life hardships. In a warm, safe, and empathetic environment, I help people gain confidence, identify negative patterns, feel more in control of their own lives, and get a better understanding of what they want for themselves.

Do you feel stuck, sad, or disappointed in your life? Past experiences and current life circumstances can sometimes make life feel unmanageable. It can bring up some really difficult or overwhelming emotions, where even with us trying our hardest, we feel hopeless or lost. Clients often come to me when they are suffering from traumatic experiences, experiencing low moods, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or struggling with interpersonal relationships. As a therapist I am passionate about helping clients use their strengths to heal from pain, learn new ways to cope, and discover how to thrive in their daily lives.

Expressing interest in therapy is the beginning of your healing journey. Whether it’s your first time looking for a therapist, you took some time off, or you’re looking for someone new, I commend you on advocating for yourself and taking this step.

As a Narrative Life Coach, I want to help clients unlock the themes and patterns of their lives by asking probing questions and helping them work towards their next chapters. I offer weekly optional writing exercises and readings to support this journey. Narrative Coaching works well with anyone going through a painful loss or rejection, such as a death, break-up or divorce, as well as anyone who desires change but feels stuck or struggling. I'd like to help clients to realize their potentials by exploring possibilities, expanding their thinking and re-writing their narrative.

Therapy is an opportunity for connection, understanding, and empathy. I meet every day with individuals who are overcoming worry, sadness, and depression to find greater joy and develop more fulfilling relationships. If you are finding it difficult to navigate close relationships, express difficult thoughts and feelings, or feel that you're not measuring up, I'm here to help.

I enjoy helping my patients figure out what is not working for them in their lives --whether the issues are professional or personal. I have been working in private practice for over fifteen years, with patients covering a wide range of issues. All they had in common was a desire to create change, and willingness to talk about their lives, thoughts and feelings honestly. Please contact me via email for expedience.

Cristina Spataro has worked with children and families in crisis for the past 17 years. If there is one thing she has learned, it is that everyone has the capacity for change if they truly want it. Life is hard, and the “right” choices are not always so apparent. Our decisions and their consequences leave us questioning ourselves.

I aim to help my clients with self-improvement and finding better ways to cope with stressors. I think a lot of of my clients typically want peace in their lives and that there are roadblocks that rise up that prevents it from forming. I also offer supportive counseling towards trauma history if you feel comfortable doing the deeper work with me.

I work with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of issues, including major life transitions such as change in employment, relationship, parenthood, health/illness, life-stage, and loss. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety and depression related to self-identity, spirituality, substance abuse, trauma, acute or chronic grief, and sexuality. My couples and family work is informed by my training at The Ackerman Institute for the Family; I am also certified in Prepare/Enrich, a relationship inventory and skill-building program often used in premarital counseling.

Thank you for taking the first and courageous step as you consider selecting a clinician who will be a good match for you. I am a licensed psychologist in New York and Texas. My training and experience is from Cognitive Behavioral and Attachment Theory frameworks.

I have been in private practice for well over a decade. I was previously a psychologist and Clinical Instructor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Do you feel stuck? Do you have the desire to feel more in touch with your sexuality, more connected to your empowered self and less bogged down by self doubt? Are you an artist looking for more purpose or wanting to discover your creativity that somehow feels out of reach? Perhaps you are a POC confronting racial trauma or maybe you are queer or questioning and looking for a safe space to explore your complex identity. Maybe you notice blocks that arise when relating to others and have childhood wounds that get in the way of feeling loved or ‘enough’.

The world can feel overwhelming. Especially at a time where everything in both personal life and professional life is in flux. How do you adjust the changes outside of your control? Are you struggling with unwanted thoughts, feelings, or ideas? Has anxiety taken over so much of your head that you don’t know what would be left if it fell silent?
