Emotionally Focused Therapists in Gramercy Park, New York, NY

I am passionate about personal growth & connecting deeply with my clients. I have a virtual practice and see clients face to face via ZOOM a HIPAA compliant platform. I love that virtual therapy gives both myself & my clients the opportunity to stay connected even while living active & busy lives. Support is a necessity in life & I have found that working virtually has been the best option for my clients & myself.

Finding the right therapist can be a tough and even daunting experience. It's difficult to tell if a therapist is right for you based simply on a blurb and a photo. I don't claim to know that we'll be a perfect fit but if I believe I can help you, I'll tell you. If not, I'll refer you to someone who I think can. I regard myself as a warm and compassionate therapist who is supportive as well as direct and challenging when required. I am passionate about my work and find it fulfilling and energizing.

I specialize in working with people who are committed to enhancing their lives through self-exploration under the guidance of a highly trained professional. I work with adults who desire a better understanding of themselves and look for freedom in how they experience their emotional life and the world around them. I am also the Founder and Clinical Director of Gotham Mental Health Group, PLLC, a Flatiron (and Northern Westchester) based group private practice. We offer individual, couples, family and group psychotherapy. www.gothammft.com

Searching through lists of therapists is no one's idea of a good time. Hopefully you have been able to reflect on what is important to you during this stressful and terrifying Covid-19 pandemic. I like to be able to find something positive about a dark time, but I am not relentlessly positive, nor do I think it is healthy for anyone to be constantly content or joyful. Life just doesn't work that way. Let me help you to define or articulate what is painful & discover alternate paths forward. Balance means embracing the positive and enduring the negative and having the self knowledge to know which is which.

Sometimes it is difficult to adjust to or understand what is happening in your life and how you feel. It is often moments or seasons of change that make us feel alone, overwhelmed, hopeless, or numb to trauma and chronic stress, but these can be transformed into positive change. My main goal is to help you make sense of or minimize these feelings and identify and remove barriers to living a fulfilling life.

Are you tired of feeling stuck? Would you like to feel calmer, more content and connected in your relationships? Together, we can work on identifying repetitive patterns that are keeping you stuck and explore how your thoughts and feelings are influencing your behavior. When you better understand yourself and your own emotions, you can effectively communicate what you want and need from others. You can break old patterns that do not serve you and find new ways to be in the world.

Sometimes life can feel like a bowl of cherries with a few nuts thrown in. Life can be filled with sweet moments that feel hopeful while other times you feel unexpectedly knocked down by circumstances, relationships, and experiences. My approach to therapy helps my clients explore both pleasant and unexpected experiences to gain insight into the true essence of who they are. How do these experiences show up in relationships, different environments, and contribute to overall patterns and dynamics? Together we can find out how these patterns show up and identify strengths and weakness in them.

Our internal narratives about who we want to be, and how we want to live our lives, too often do not align with our real, lived experiences. If things are not feeling right to you, and you are struggling in any aspect of your life, a skilled empathetic therapist can help. By gaining insight and understanding into what is keeping you stuck and struggling, you can begin to lead a life that feels more true to who you want to be.. With a commitment to helping people live better lives, I create a caring, challenging space for you to start making real and significant change.

Experiencing trouble with sleep/suffering from insomnia can be a painful & exhausting experience.

Treatment might include any combination of the following recommendations- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i); Auricular Acupressure Beads; and/or Mindfulness/Relaxation Training.

Therapy sessions with me look a lot like a conversation. I believe that you ultimately know yourself, and I am here to be a guiding source and facilitator within the room. Depending on your needs, I can provide resources to coping mechanisms, practices and tools to take outside of our sessions. I can also be someone who listens without judgment. Therapy can be nerve racking, so I am open to listening and changing things up depending on how you grow and what you need. I love to learn and am always trying to create a positive therapy experience for you.

I specialize in helping people who are having trouble coping with the ups and downs of their emotions. Anyone with anxiety, body image issues, grief and loss, trauma, or emotional regulation issues is a match for my practice. As an experienced Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) therapist, I can help you navigate intense emotions and develop coping skills. Most importantly, instead of challenging your thoughts and feelings, I’ll help you to recognize the beauty of your authenticity and regain your optimism about the future.

I have over 20 years’ experience as a mental health counselor. I have a MS in Marriage and Family Counseling; I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY as well as a National Board-Certified Counselor. I see therapy as a joint venture where we work together so you can reach your potential for optimal emotional mental wellbeing.

I have experience working with diverse clients and approach talk therapy with curiosity, warmth, and an authentic interest in the lives of others. It is my strongly held belief that meaningful change happens when folks are supported in their self-discovery, recognizing that they are the expert in their own experience.

Hello. If your child or adolescent needs support, it's likely that I can help. I am dually credentialed in psychoanalysis (an advanced form of psychotherapy) and education (I was a university professor in the field of education for 25 years). One of the greatest gifts you can give your child is a safe space where they can work through their challenges with a professional.

It can be painful to move through life when it feels like we're just getting by. Maybe we yearn for more in our relationships, but find ourselves repeating the same unhealthy patterns. Or we desire deeper and more meaningful connections with ourselves and others, but relational wounds or the residue of past trauma can make that feel out of reach. We want to live with more ease, but feel stuck. Whatever it is, you’re seeking out help because the cost has been high.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who helps adults & adolescents understand and cope with difficult feelings and behaviors that are getting in their way. Sometimes we feel inexplicably sad, lonely, withdrawn, defeated, alienated, anxious, or self-defeating. These feelings can impact our lives and relationships in a negative way. By exploring and understanding these feelings and behaviors together, we can begin to work on changing the negative patterns and to restore a sense of connection and engagement.

I blend 25 years of years of experience and training with psychodynamic, somatic (mind/body integration), gestalt and the expressive arts, to work with individuals, couples and families and specialize in relationships, anxiety disorders, addiction, life/career transitions, PTSD and developmental trauma.My training in Somatic Experiencing enables me to address trauma at its bodily source -an inside out approach that cognitive approaches can’t access. My belief in our human drive for wholeness extends to my extensive work with individuals and families impacted by addiction, a fundamental disconnect of mind, body and spirit.

I would like to provide you with the help and support needed to make the changes in your life that you deem important. My style of therapy is client centered and collaborative which allows for a unique therapeutic experience.
