Therapists in Financial District, New York, NY

Seeking therapy takes real courage be it your first time or fifth. Relationships change, self-esteem wavers, bodies transform, major life events occur that place us in uncharted waters, life turns inexplicably difficult. Whatever the reason, therapy is a unique opportunity to examine internal and relational conflicts, tease out unhelpful thoughts and deepen your understanding of yourself in ways that foster agency and creativity.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, trained in Psychoanalysis, Level 1 Internal Family Systems Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I practice in downtown New York City and provide individual and couples therapy to adults. People often search for a therapist when they feel stuck, anxious, and compelled to change coping strategies that no longer work for them. I strive to create a safe, welcoming environment for my clients that is built on trust and collaboration. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is essential to change and transformation.

Every person has a unique personality and philosophy on life. Because of this, every person needs to be treated differently. This requires a unique psychotherapist, with a wide range of experience and a wealth of knowledge. Whether you're a young person, or an older person, you need expert guidance to effectively treat your issue.

Everyone deserves an opportunity for growth. The therapeutic relationship is a trusting process. I use empathy, humor, and positive regard to create a safe space to discuss distress people experience throughout the course of life. I encourage my clients to identify and focus on the things they can control when dealing with depression and anxiety. Change is challenging and often unavoidable. I work with adults (over age 21) who are looking to overcome fears and struggles by helping them learn effective ways to cope and set and maintain boundaries. My goal is to guide individuals on the road to healing, empowerment, and success.

“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.

A child of immigrants and a native New Yorker, Corrada earned her BA in Forensic Psychology and her MA in Forensic Mental Health Counseling from CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice. During her college career, she was a member of Psi Chi, the international honor society for psychology, and partook in a research study on gender differences. Her experiences at John Jay inspired many of her areas of interest, including gender roles and multiculturalism. Being unique and different is an integral part of human life, which is why Corrada’s foundation in therapy is not a “one size fits all” approach.

Haley provides evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and adults. She has had the opportunity to provide care in private practice, school, and medical settings.

She utilizes these therapies to target anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, trauma, and executive functioning deficits.

The client I see in my practice is motived in her/his pursuit for inner-growth, healing, and well being. She/he has an appreciation for the transpersonal aspects of life, a curiosity for learning about subconscious processes, and an attitude towards health that is grounded in mindfulness. Besides Holistic, my approach to the therapeutic relationship is one of sponsorship, collaboration and respect for each person's healing journey and creed. My purpose is to encourage the spiritual and psychological inner work that is called for to attain wellness, and to offer resources as they may be needed.

It's getting more and more difficult to resist your compulsions. You're getting upset with yourself for not having enough "willpower." You're having frightening thoughts about yourself and others. Thoughts that scare you or contradict your values and who you are as a person. You experience self-hate every time you give into a compulsion. You're exhausted by your own mental and/or physical compulsions. You struggle to trust yourself and often experience shame surrounding your thoughts. You keep it all to yourself because you fear that others will judge you or betray you. Simultaneously, you need emotional support more than ever.

I work with individuals who are looking to better themselves & maximize their potential. I believe that as social beings, we are made to connect - with ourselves, with our peers, and with the worlds around us. I specialize in bridging the disconnect many of us feel and hope to help you find that sense of connection & purpose that may seem out of reach right now. During our sessions, I strive to help you feel closer to yourself and those around you to help you be the best version of yourself. Whether it's personal struggles, relationship challenges, or the overwhelming noise of daily life, I’m here to support you.

I have years of experience helping clients deal with anxiety, depression and anger problems and with couples who are looking to reduce marital conflict. When new clients call me they are looking for help in coping so they can feel better and handle their life challenges more effectively. Some people are looking for understanding of what happened and how they got here, and some are more interested in learning coping skills quickly, and most want some combination of both approaches. I listen to what their individual wants and needs and plan accordingly.

You struggle with self-acceptance and often see yourself through a harsh and unforgiving lens. Unable to manage your anxiety, grief, anger or depression, you often behave in ways you later regret. Flooded with shame and remorse for your inability to achieve true happiness, the inner punishment starts all over again. Feeling all alone with no one to confide in, you fear you're the only one who can't cope. You dream of the day you can wake up excited and motivated to put yourself more fully into your life without fear and self-doubt. You just know there is more to life and you long to connect to your purpose and joy.

I am the clinical director of SoHo Psychology, where I provide support and professional training to our community of dedicated therapists. As a therapist I offer warm and compassionate support while working to help my clients achieve their unique therapeutic goals. My work integrates relational and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapies. I place great importance on the primacy of interpersonal relationships, which when done well, harness the power for transformational growth and healing. This is so for all relationships, and it is especially so for the therapeutic relationship.
