Therapists in Financial District, New York, NY

I see the therapeutic encounter as a journey shared between therapist and client. I take an existential approach to accompany the client throughout the journey of self discovery. Emphasizing the importance of awareness and insight, I prefer the client to be the one to want to find solutions that fit their needs. Each client is believed to have a potential within, which may be hindered by the inability to overcome adversities in life. The struggle to overcome adverse experiences, can be a product of sociocultural system, family context, early attachment and relationships which reflect a stigmatized idea of self.

My Model: Celebrating the equal relationship between the client and facilitator, we move with the flow of energy: the client as the 'expert' on self, and the facilitator as the 'expert' on the theories of psychological change. DW Winnicott reminds us of the beauty and function of playing: involving fantasy, creativity and energy flow. We bring the unconscious to the conscious mind with the specific goal of moving toward desired changes, as we nurture the healing process. We'll focus on your habitual behavioral responses. If you don't like these, I'll help you change them. We'll focus on letting go of what doesn't serve you.

I work with men, women, and couples over 18 years of age. No matter what your reason is for seeking therapy, you deserve someone to witness your truth without reaction. You might be unsure whether you’re justified being in therapy or tell yourself that things aren’t really that bad and that you’re okay. But allowing someone to just be there with you creates the space to look at your expectations, thoughts, and feelings, and see what you want to do with them. It's valuable for someone to be part of your journey to help you explore what your narrative is and how it is affected by patterns and dynamics that affect all of us.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or science-talk for "let's look at unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and get you more helpful ones." I have worked in private practice for several years at the Center for Anxiety and the Cognitive Health Group. I have trained on both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric units at Rockland Psychiatric Center and Girard Medical Center. I received my doctoral degree from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology in June of 2016, and have been providing care for patients since 2012.

Clients come to me when they have reached a crossroads in their life. Life may have suddenly become challenging because of conflicts in employment, family relationships, or dating/romantic relationships in a way that is overwhelming and difficult to understand. Sometimes we come to a place in our lives where we desire better for ourselves. However, we recognize the way we have been operating is no longer working. We need to process our past and present experiences to get to a place of personal freedom. *~~~Please email for inquiries. Phone calls are difficult to track. Thank you~~~*

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy. I feel there is a strong connection between the mind & body. My work is to empower my clients to actualize their potential mentally & physically, whether it be related to their self-image, their relationships, their careers, their hobbies or whatever contributes to their happiness. I do life coaching as well as mentor. Talk therapy, CBT, DBT, music, art, spirituality, positive psychology, are a few approaches used in integrative therapy. Sessions are highly individualized. Please email me from this page and text me through it (212-390-1066) for questions. Commitment is key.

Hello. We often get stuck in patterned ways of responding both to other people in our lives and also to our own thoughts and feelings. I work collaboratively with people to foster strengths in order to transform their behavior to live a life that feel purposeful and values-driven.

I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds with various presenting problems. I prefer working with individuals who are struggling with various life issues, particularly life transitions. My work with adults focuses on the challenges they may experience in life. Some of these pertain to identity development, interpersonal conflicts, sexuality, relationship status, religious or spiritual beliefs, anxiety, depression, racial or ethnic identity concerns, low self-esteem, and stress.

(I NOW PROVIDE VIDEO THERAPY FOR CLIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO COME TO MY OFFICE OR WHO CHOOSE TO STAY HOME DURING THE UNCERTAINTIES OF THE CORONAVIRUS SPREAD.

Sometimes people get stuck in the past and are burdened with such emotions as regret, grief, anger, helplessness, or unfulfilled dreams.

You want and need to feel better. I help you discover how your thoughts and actions take you away from yourself. I practice from an open, honest, and non-judgmental point of view. As a therapist, I consider us as whole and valuable right now, but with barriers to experiencing ourselves or life in this way. When human beings are supported like this, soon things can feel better and change is possible. Patients come to see me for guidance with relationships to others and themselves, important choices, life transitions, everyday stress and living fully.

Whether the collapse is "out there" or "in here," it often seems the world is collapsing. Many of us seek therapy because the sense of losing our mind, our self, our loved ones, or our livelihood is terrifying, and the real threats of catastrophe are debilitating. Knowing what we want becomes increasingly difficult, and we struggle to take shape and hold on to ourselves in the presence of others. We fold up or fold in to protect ourselves and our relationships, but then aloneness, desperation, panic, and self attack set in.

*Now accepting new patients for Telehealth/virtual sessions* Are you feeling stuck in survival mode --doing anything to *avoid* negative feelings, like unhealthy use of food or substances, fantasy, workaholism/perfectionism, or getting lost in worry, fantasy, or procrastination. Some people get really good at "not dealing" with the root issue, either by creating a steady flow of chaos at work, or by avoiding conflict and letting things at work or home stagnate and become unsustainable. Therapy can help you change your storyline. By harnessing challenges, you can begin to thrive in a chosen, meaningful story of your own creation.

Welcome! I know it can be hard to reach out for therapy when you don't know what to expect. Here's what I can tell you: I am not the silent and judgemental therapist portrayed on TV shows - just a fellow human being, genuinely interested, and ready to take on the journey of self-exploration with you. I am a firm believer that everyone makes sense if you take the time to understand the context of their experiences. Together we will make those connections, through a collaborative process of compassionate curiosity. No matter how lost, disconnected, depressed, or anxious you may feel - you make sense.

Whether in my forensic immigration and criminal practice or in my psychotherapeutic and behavioral work, I focus on participating in a holistic, individualized approach together with each client and anyone they wish. With the belief that "We already have everything," I help clients start where they are, as they uncover their unique strengths, needs and history. I believe deeply in self-determination and personal expertise. I view our work as a dynamic, active process and work with each person to understand and express even seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and help facilitate a process of personal transformation and hope.

You are dissatisfied with your life, particularly in your relationships or your search for a partner. You may be anxious, losing sleep, and even feeling depressed sometimes. Maybe you keep dating and breaking up with the same people, and you need to break the cycle. Or you may be in a committed, loving relationship, but you feel like your partner is constantly putting you down and making you feel bad about yourself. Perhaps you feel like no matter how hard you try, it's never good enough for the people around you.

As far back as I can remember I've always had an innate desire to help others and see their needs while being both patient and positive. This led me to a career in therapy and early on in this career I was fascinated with seeing the power of exposing people's inner strengths, allowing them a safe place to vent and work on coping skills. After a few years I continued to have a lingering feeling like I could be doing more for my clients. This led me to combine these existing techniques with a new theory called Emergence.

“Everything can be taken from us but one thing, the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way” — Viktor Frankl. It is my firm belief that we free ourselves to think and act in new ways when we are willing to embrace the exploration of the self and develop insights into the motivations behind our behavior. We will work together to build a shared understanding of the obstacles that you are facing, whether that means improving your interpersonal relationships, exploring your identity/sexuality/spirituality, strengthening your self esteem, finding motivation and success in your career, navigating overwhelming and traumatic experiences, or identifying maladaptive patterns that may be acting as barriers to the life you want. I offer both short and long term psychotherapy to adolescents and adults seeking assistance with anxiety, mood disorders, mood dysregulation, obsessive thinking, compulsive behavior, ADHD, substance abuse, anger, impulsivity, highly sensitive temperament, and psychoeducation related to psychiatric medication management.
