Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Gramercy Park, New York, NY

Sometimes, life isn’t as kind as we’d like. Whether it be past traumas, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or any other type of painful experience, seeking therapy is the first step to choosing wellness, choosing wholeness, and choosing yourself. I create a space for young people to grow into the best versions of themselves and ask for help when they need it. Many of my clients are new to therapy and may feel hesitant about seeking care, but throughout our work together see the positive experiences it can open up.

I work directly with teens, young adults, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, life transitions, relational conflicts and other issues that are preventing individuals from living to their fullest potential.

I specialize in working with women, BIPOC clients, those dealing with race-related stress, single parents, older adults, and neurodivergent clients I also specialize in helping people who are trying to find their footing as they face various life transitions including parenthood, growing and changing careers, body image difficulties, and divorce.

Certified as a Perinatal Mental Health Clinician, my primary focus is to help Millennial and Gen-Z women in the perinatal period (preconception planning to early motherhood) struggling with anxiety, trauma, and adjusting to motherhood. I guide my clients to define and own what mothering looks like for them. I believe in facilitating change from a place of compassion, connection, and most of all - collaboration.

As a trauma-informed, strengths-based therapist, I don’t believe in pathologizing or labeling clients. You aren’t broken or bad; rather, you may have learned to protect and care for yourself in ways that no longer serve you. Therapy can help shed light on these patterns, and with awareness comes choice – once we’re able to identify and understand our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, we can begin to transform them for the better. Together, you and I can uncover what lies at the root of your issues and explore new strategies for creating positive change.

Stepping into therapy and engaging in your own personal growth is empowering. We all manage an immense number of stressors in our daily lives, and therapy is a space where you can take time to pause, reflect, and grow. I work with individuals of diverse backgrounds—including adolescents and young adults—who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, cultural adjustment, interpersonal stress, and more. I understand that every client’s needs are different and use various modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic approaches.

There’s no better feeling than being able to be your true self. My job is to help find and provide this space for you.

I am passionate in working with college students and young adults, particularly those living with depression, anxiety, or ongoing life transitions. I use a strengths-based person-centered approach to see your needs as unique.

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons: struggles with anxiety or depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, loss, life changes and others. Feeling "stuck" is a common and often painful experience. I can help you uncover patterns in thinking, behaving and relating that have become problematic. Therapy can be challenging but with great potential gains. The result is a deepened self-awareness and the capacity to make choices consistent with your needs and goals. You can build satisfying relationships, end self-defeating behaviors and better manage life's inevitable stressors.

I am a certified in CBT and use this approach to teach clients to be their own therapists!

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’m going to push you, and you should push back at me.” My aim for our therapeutic relationship is to build a safety, but not a sense of complacency. You have already decided to make a change, let’s consciously pursue that. I utilize an integrative therapeutic approach that borrows from cognitive-behavioral, narrative and psychodynamic techniques.
