Couples Counseling Therapists in Flatiron, New York, NY

My passion is to help clients make life changes that bring confidence, fulfillment and authenticity. As a Core Energetics Practitioner, with over fifteen years of experience, I help clients reengage their flow, purpose and direction. We can easily lose our sense of direction when struggles take over, whether those struggles are personal, relational or financial. We can find ourselves stuck in survival mode, depressed and anxious. Thoughts and movements become blocked and disconnected; we no longer feel in the flow of life. 

Things are not going the way you want. Maybe you're having the same struggles you've had before. You're stressed, anxious, unhappy. You have many responsibilities, you're frustrated, under so much pressure. But, at the end of the day, you don't have the relationship or life you want. It seems easier for other people. You may be feeling alone or lonely. It eats away at your confidence. In private you might question your self-worth, think you're not good enough. Maybe others think you have it all together, or they rely on you. It is especially confusing if you are successful in other areas. You are used to fixing things on your own.

Therapy, I believe, is a collaborative process through which I work with clients to progress toward well-being and an authentic engagement with life. As we address therapy goals that may involve reducing distress caused by symptoms, dealing with acute or longer term issues, or old patterns that are holding you back from growth, I listen for your voice, and seek to empower you to take ownership of your life and its direction. I strive to create a safe, accepting environment, where we work toward ameliorating distress, enhanced self-understanding, healthier choices, and living a more mindful, valued life.

Life in today’s world isn’t easy: online dating, social media, remote work, global uncertainty…the list goes on. I specialize in guiding young adults and couples as they navigate it all. My clients are working through life transitions, relationship challenges, career uncertainty, self-esteem issues, or just want someone to talk to regularly. My role is to identify the right tools to move through these obstacles so you can begin to thrive.

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.

I work with young adults and professionals in their path to self-discovery and healing. I specialize in treating trauma and relationship issues.

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 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.

Too often we can feel our lives slipping away. We can get stuck in patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior; our relationships feel “off” or nonexistent; work or school feel empty; and we can start to feel trapped in lives we don’t want. But therapy can help. Whether you are coming in for your first time or if you’ve been in therapy before; whether you want to change old habits and build new skills or to resolve past experiences; whether your relationship is struggling or you are struggling to develop relationships, therapy can help to get you where you want to be and lead to lasting change.

Whether you’d like to focus on unresolved parts of your past, current struggles you are grappling with right now, concerns about your future or all of the above, I am here to help. You can count on a warm, open, confidential and non-judgmental place to talk about whatever it is that’s on your mind. For over 20 years, I have successfully helped both individuals and couples on a wide range of issues: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, loss, grief, sexuality, chronic illness/pain, existential dilemmas and many other emotional challenges. I also supervise other mental health professionals.

"Why should I go to therapy?" I remember asking myself that same question many years ago. Deciding to go to therapy isn’t easy. It usually means that life has been challenging and that you aren't coping well. Sometimes the cause is obvious—you’ve lost someone; you’re anxious or depressed; you’re dealing with change. At other times, things are less clear. You sense that something is off, but can’t exactly point to what it is. That’s where therapy can make a significant difference. Your time in therapy is likely the only time you'll have complete freedom to say what’s running through your head—good or bad—without being judged.

Every person has the ability to heal, make connections, and deserves healthy relationships. I can guide you through life's challenges with compassion and respect. My style is interactive/engaging and I work collaboratively with you to promote the growth and change you desire.

In a time where things can feel out of control, I can provide you with a sense of stability and hope. Don't let the brokenness of the world discourage you from seeking a curiosity to become the best version of yourself. I am here to support you in your journey to unpack and discover the ways in which you can thrive and come home to yourself. Let's take this breath-by-breath, step-by-step, you are already here, you are already on your way.
