Adults Therapists in Flatiron, New York, NY

A good therapy experience requires a safe, empathic environment which promotes self-exploration and growth. My style is interactive, balancing detailed inquiry while allowing room for full expression of the client's concerns. I question assumptions, share my observations of automatic patterns in thinking, feeling and relating to others and draw attention to experience that is being avoided. In my experience this is where sources of depression, anxiety and problems in living are found. Exploring these patterns allows us to reevaluate their present usefulness and adopt new approaches, resulting in greater freedom and flexibility in one's life.

I am a Columbia University trained clinical psychologist who specializes in individual and couples therapy in Manhattan. I believe that every client is unique and their treatment should be, too.

Psychotherapy is a journey to greater self-knowledge and authenticity. I like to help people as they ask difficult questions about themselves, work on barriers in their lives, and seek to be the most genuine versions of themselves. I am a licensed psychologist, working with adults of all backgrounds and ages. My approach is to partner with individuals in active and challenging ways as they explore their issues in a safe and compassionate environment

Finding a balance in life can sometimes be a struggle and is always a challenge. Making effective decisions, maintaining consistency, overcoming hardships, loss and stress, are life's hurdles that lead to inner conflict and can result in confusion and a feeling of hopelessness. Therapy is a collaborative process. Through self reflection, objectivity and guidance you can overcome obstacles, find meaning and direction, and above all, the will to make it work.

Therapy offers the opportunity to develop ways of responding more authentically and effectively to life’s challenges. I recognize that seeking therapy is in itself a sign of strength and courage, as it can seem easier to try to ignore difficult and repetitive thoughts, emotions, or experiences. I aim to create a warm and supportive space for self-exploration, helping to bring old, unconscious patterns to light and thus begin loosening the hold of self limiting beliefs. In spite of all we cannot control, in learning to relate to our experiences in new ways we can become more grounded and compassionate with ourselves and others.

To me, therapy is about figuring out how to get what you want from your life. Sometimes, people have trouble achieving balance in their lives due to long-standing patterns of relationships and/or learned styles of thought and behavior. My goal is to help you look at your patterns of relationships, both past and present, and to shift your thoughts and behaviors so that you can achieve increased satisfaction with life.

Everyone wants to feel a sense of security and peace. People tend to develop rigid, inflexible thinking patterns that may feel safe, but limit their ability to remain present. In many of people’s struggles, they end up adding to their own pain. Haley's work aims to build awareness so that people can learn to invite difficult feelings into the space and create flexible thinking patterns, making it possible for healing and growth. Haley empowers her clients by guiding them to practice and implement realistic, everyday skills with a focus on mindfulness that aid in maintaining self-acceptance and confidence.

My approach is to help you understand your life experiences and choices, particularly those that create obstacles to greater fulfillment. This involves working collaboratively. For example, we may focus on recognizing habits of thought or behavior that lead to getting "stuck" (eg., avoidance, anxiety) and learn more effective ways of self expression and relatedness, which will allow for positive change. I offer the support and guidance necessary to be curious about yourself and open to thoughts and feelings that may be previously unexplored. As a clinician, I have worked in many diverse settings with people from all walks of life.

Life can be overwhelming on any given day, but when mental health concerns are added to the mix, it can seem impossible to overcome even small hiccups. This is normal, but it is not something that you should have to deal with alone. My goal as a therapist is to address whatever problems you are experiencing at any given moment. I provide structured sessions using evidence-based approaches to help you or your family tackle concerns related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, trauma, grief, relationship stressors, infertility and adoption issues, sport performance, and life adjustments.

I work from a psychodynamic approach that enlists the breadth of your unique experience, and offers the opportunity to work through emotional complications, anxieties and obstacles that diminish a sense of conviction, engagement and passion in love and work.

My education and training took place at a number of local institutions including Columbia University Medical Center, Lenox Hill Hospital, and New York University. The majority of my work has been with adults , young adults , and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, drug or alcohol use, or post-traumatic stress reactions. These clients have often begun working with me after having engaged in their own long-term struggles. If you are reading this page, then you may be constantly angry or guilty, sad or scared, ashamed or overwhelmed. You may be considering finally trying to reach out for help.

I am a Clinical Psychologist in New York, NYU faculty, with a Post-Doctoral degree in couples therapy and training in group therapy. Specializing in couples, individuals, and people's affinities for others, I find that relationships can be wonderful. They can also provide a platform for people to both learn about (and get into trouble with !) themselves and those they love. I work with couples, individual adults & groups to relate to time in the following ways: acknowledge the past, focus on the present, and consider the future. This sounds easier to do than it actually is to practice. So many difficult things in life are like that.
