Adults Therapists in Financial District, New York, NY

Feeling alone and isolated? Want MORE in your life and unsure how to get it? Feeling anxious and depressed? Sick and tired of talking about your problems over and over to find yourself in the same place? Let's transform your life! I help people explore/discover who they are in the world by building creative therapeutic environments in which people can grow emotionally, develop new ways to respond to challenging situations and create the lives they want to live.

As a compassionate Therapist and Transformational Life Coach at Wellness Road Psychology, I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, stress, and major life transitions (i.e., job loss, death of a loved one, weight loss surgery, adjustment to college life) to process pain, overcome challenges, and reclaim control over their lives. I also empower my clients to improve their health conditions (i.e., obesity, diabetes, sleep problems, and chronic pain), so that they can live life more fully. I am passionate about supporting people in creating sustainable habits that promote a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

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?

I am a New York-based clinical social worker and life coach. In therapy, I offer a warm and supportive working environment. I primarily work with adults from all cultures and walks of life. I incorporate mind-body philosophy and explain how our conscious and unconscious beliefs affect our mood and dictate how we operate in life. In our work together, you can expect to develop new coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and, ultimately, overcome the barriers that prevent them from moving forward.

Do you sometimes feel that despite a good job and friends you feel unhappy and stuck? You're a 20-something or 30-something going through major life changes with your career, dating, family, or friends. Your relationships are unsatisfying and you’re struggling to stay motivated. You see all of your friends moving forward with their lives but you're standing still. Your feelings of anxiety and depression are getting in your way of living your best life. As a young adult, you're faced with making big life decisions, often feeling scared, overwhelmed, and with little support.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. in 2002 and my Masters in Social Work from Adelphi University in Long Island, New York in 2007. In addition to working as a therapist in private practice and clinics, I also have other diverse experiences, including working at Rikers Island, and running foster care group homes for at-risk teenagers. I have also spent the past six years working at Kingsboro Psychiatric Center, a large state psychiatric center located in Brooklyn, New York.

We are a group of talented professionals, and we offer our clients a warm and deeply caring therapeutic relationship. Expert clinical supervision enriches the work of our therapists.

Solutions and changes are within reach! At our Brooklyn locations, we also work with children, couples and families.

WHY THERAPY? Finding a therapist or counselor can be an anxiety-provoking pursuit. In my experience, people seek treatment for a wide variety of reasons, such as depression, anxiety/stress, relationship problems, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, and so on. Seeking therapy is an act of maturity and strength! It says that you recognize that you are unhappy or dissatisfied with some aspect of your life and that you ultimately want to function and feel better.

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.

I work with adults from all works of life. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD/trauma, anxiety and depression, considering the cultural context when conceptualizing patient’s problems.

I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, life changes/transitions, stress, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem, and identity work. In therapy, you can expect me to provide both empathy and practicality in an environment free of judgement with the aim of not only gaining new insight, but developing new & healthy ways of meeting goals and relating to oneself and to others.

We all come across challenges in our lives which affect our happiness and our level of functioning. Whether it's the loss of a loved one; work-related stress; parenting difficulties or various life transitions; we all can benefit in receiving intervention from a therapist who cares. I have a very warm, yet goal oriented approach when it comes to helping my patients realize their full potential. Together we can figure out the best course of treatment for you.

Self transformation comes from understanding how our body and mind create our behavior and emotions and taking small risks to make shifts toward the fuller version of our selves. The modality I practice is Core Energetics which offers a unique opportunity to unwind childhood conditioning/trauma and re-learn who we are as adults . Mind/body techniques are on the cutting edge of neuroscience research and have a proven track record of success.

Struggling with personal issues? I provide therapy for adults , children, and families. I understand that everyone wants to be the best they can be. We will navigate the challenges you are experiencing and work to find solutions to manage difficult moments. I provide a warm, safe, nurturing environment while helping you to understand and resolve conflicts within your world. I take a very supportive stance and realize that getting help is the first part of making a change.

In a sense, all therapy -- even individual therapy -- is family therapy. We carry the voices, the gazes, the expectations, the approvals and disapprovals, the deep connections to those we first knew within us throughout our lives. Therapy can help to uncover and clarify these links and engender a better understanding of our own motivations, leaving us freer to make effective decisions in our daily lives. I view therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and patient, and I believe much of the work is accomplished through that relationship itself.

I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice. I draw upon my training in trauma, psychoanalysis and fine arts to encourage subjective creation of meaning, improved interpersonal relations and the setting/meeting of educational/career/personal goals. I work with adults in individual therapy and in a psychodynamic group for creatives. I specialize in the impact of childhood sexual abuse, undue influence, domestic violence, tragic loss, rape or sexual assault, in addition to issues of anxiety, depression, dissociation, betrayal, trust, grieving, intimacy/sexuality, life transition, multi-culturalism, faith and race.

I offer talk psychotherapy and art therapy for adults seeking to make proactive changes in therapy to experience a better quality of life. I believe that people are experts in their own lives and that we develop unique coping strategies over the years to help us navigate important relationships and experiences. I work with people to better understand themselves and to grow greater self-compassion and empathy. I view therapy as an important aspect of personal self-care and wellness. I assist people in finding a healthier work-life balance and enjoy more satisfying life, work and relationships.
