Teen Therapists in Flatiron, New York, NY

Understanding who we are as individuals and what has led us to this point in our lives is an important part of each person’s journey. Often, we go through the motions of our daily routines without stopping to consider what we actually feel or how we want to live. Engaging in therapy allows you the space to pause in full awareness of yourself and take a breath. It is a space for witnessing yourself, for speaking your truth, for recognizing your needs and for honoring your journey up to this point.

With over 20 years proven experience, I have collaborated with a variety of clients -adults, children, families and the elderly - in improving their personal and professional relationships. By acknowledging our positionality and employing a relational, empathic approach in my practice, clients are able to successfully negotiate relationship issues, and overcome related struggles with depression and trauma. Empowerment is a major focus of our work.

Finding the key to happiness, I have always believed, comes from understanding yourself and coming to terms with who you are. I work very compassionately, without judgment, in a collaborative fashion, to help facilitate greater self- acceptance and equanimity. Whether we investigate your own family dynamics or process through Emotionally Focused Therapy, sessions will help uncover the underlying emotional beliefs that direct your own internal "story".

I deeply believe in every individual's potential to grow, change, and solve problems. Using several approaches to tailor therapy to each client, we work together to achieve more self-compassion, awareness, and understanding. This team effort is applied to best cultivate the most effective and efficient ways to reach all goals.

As a trauma-informed mental health counselor, I specialize in addressing disordered eating, body image concerns, life transitions, anxiety and depression. I bring my experience as a primary therapist at The Renfrew Center to help my clients with eating disorders develop new coping strategies and discover their inner strength. In therapy, I guide you through self-exploration to understand how your past influences your identity, behavior, and self-perception. My approach is supportive, empathetic, and free of judgment, creating a safe environment where you can confront challenging emotions and discover your own resilience.

You do not need to be suffering to benefit from counseling—we can all improve our lives by better understanding our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. We would welcome the opportunity to alleviate your pain or self-sabotaging patterns while increasing your inner peace and purpose. NYC Counseling’s therapy techniques can help you to release powerful, unconscious blocks and fears. Whatever your goal, let's work together to find the tools to overcome the hurdles you are facing to live a more vibrant and fulfilling life. With clinicians who have varied backgrounds, specialties, and perspectives, we can find the right fit for you.

Do you feel stuck in the same old situation? Are you unsatisfied in (or out of) a relationship? Disappointments and obstacles happen in life, but you don't have to remain stuck. I work with individuals and couples to reconnect with their spontaneity and to discover a full range of creative choices towards a richer, more engaged life. Therapy must be a safe place to talk about difficulties, but to open up new possibilities, therapy must also be experiential.

I wholeheartedly believe that people get better in the context of relationships. I am a caring, attuned, and enthusiastic therapist, passionate about working with families, couples, and individuals. Therapy is an opportunity to make meaningful changes in our lives, and more meaningfully understand ourselves and our loved ones. Meaningful therapy is the opportunity to explore what has not been said. My aim as a therapist is to support individuals in bringing clarity to all relationships, and strengthening relationships clients choose.

Trauma and the destabilizing events of our lives can impact our ability to grow no matter when or how they happen. We can find ourselves in harmful or unmanageable cycles that persist. By creating a safe space to creatively experiment in therapy you can provide yourself with the means and intention to grow. As a Clinician I have worked with clients experiencing addiction, the impact of trauma, and family dysfunction. Perhaps these challenges have led to unhealthy behaviors that don't fit who you are and what you need anymore. Or that you have reached many of your goals, but realize the cost has been an internal battle that persists.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist with many years of experience working with a diverse clientele. I believe that growth occurs in therapy not just from insight, but from the willingness to tolerate the discomfort of the unknown and experiment with new ways of being in and out of sessions. I strive to be an engaged and active partner in this work. I also do executive coaching for people in tech, finance and media-related fields. Although psychological factors are never entirely left out of this work, the focus is on optimizing professional goals.

Compassionate Collaboration ---- I am a Clinical Psychologist with over twenty years of experience as a psychotherapist. Our work together would focus on finding a deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions in order to look for conflicts that are holding you back. Tolerating difficult feelings in therapy can help you to gain clarity and find more flexibility within yourself and help you to make healthy choices. Treatment could involve working directly to reduce symptoms, exploring the past, expressing difficult feelings, looking at parts of the self which are often denied, challenging personal blocks and examining relationship issues

Psychotherapy . . . a dynamic, interactive journey. I offer a safe, caring, professional environment in which we co-create a relationship essential for your healing and growth to occur naturally. With you, I undertake the opportunity to cultivate a supportive and trusting relationship. In my 30+ years as a therapist, I have come to know that it is the genuine connection between us that paves the way to successful, fulfilling therapy. I will help you to learn more about yourself, to understand why you do what you do and to uncover, strengthen and integrate the many aspects that make you authentically you.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves treading water. This may be because of an unresolved internal conflict from our past or as a result of external forces such as systemic oppression, financial hardship, and chronic illness. Therapy can be a collaborative space to retreat from the mental exhaustion we experience when we try to solve our problems in isolation. In my time as a licensed psychotherapist, I’ve found that the work is most effective when the bond between therapist and client is strong, and there is a sense of safety and mutual respect.

I have a deep commitment to care about and build meaningful connections with my clients. I’ll work with you to explore your hidden emotions, understand where they come from, and utilize problem-solving skills to tackle your real-life issues that might cause these emotions. My experience in various clinical settings working with children, adolescents, and young adults have developed my skills to provide individualized, holistic and culturally-sensitive care. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. I will be with you every step of the way toward reaching your goals.

Congratulations on taking this step in seeking help and support for yourself or your family. I work with children and adolescents, families, men, and women. My 20-plus years of clinical work with children and families is built on an attachment-oriented foundation and is informed by my personal experience as an adoptive parent and training in relevant play and family therapies. Regardless of a child’s emotional/behavioral presentation or attachment (RAD) history, I view parents as partners in their child’s therapeutic process and support and guide them, in parent sessions and/or in family sessions with their child.

My goal as your therapist is to help you find your unique path forward and realize your full potential–be it personal, professional and through important life transitions. We will be working together towards a deeper and honest understanding of your current life situation, the choices you have made and why, and reflecting on constructive, innovative and thoughtful steps forward. In our work, I will aim to show you meaningful connections between your past and present patterns of behavior, so that we can see your present with more clarity and support you in making wise and caring decisions about your life.
