Hebrew Therapists in Gramercy Park, New York, NY

I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in New York and New Jersey with over 20 years of counselling experience. I specialize in working with couples and individuals who struggle with communication skills as well as emotional and physical intimacy. In addition, I help individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, OCD and personality disorders. I am a certified Schema therapist and have taken multiple trainings in Acceptance and Commitment therapy as well as Emotionally Focused therapy.

Our clients come to us at points where they are caught in waves of emotional turbulence. Feeling these strong emotions of anxiety and/or depression can be confusing. You may feel alone and unable to break these cycles, but our therapy practice can help you through this struggle to discover positive change. We believe it is our responsibility to provide a safe and contained space for any person to explore their feelings and thoughts without judgment. Thinking about who we are, what our motivations are, and how we established our worldview is a powerful and healing experience. We provide support to individuals, couples and families.

In my practice I operate from within an interactive, holistic approach, incorporating psychodynamic perspective based on empathy, acceptance and understanding as well as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatment methods. My therapeutic philosophy acknowledges the specific and unique needs of each individual client. I foster a practical approach based on the above principles, allowing us to create a supportive relationship together. Our process will be goal-oriented, and during our interactions we will facilitate healthy coping techniques as part of the healing process.

I'm a Licensed Psychoanalyst and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist. I have extensive experience working with people coping with depression, PTSD, relationship issues, anxiety and career concerns. I'm also trained in specific trauma evidence base treatments such as Internal Family System, EMDR, and Psychedelic Integration, all are specifically focused treatments designed to create meaningful, desirable and durable lifestyle changes.

My aim is to provide you with a secure and safe space from which we can collaboratively explore and articulate attachment patterns of relating to ourselves and others, especially under emotional distress. These patterns tend to be persistent, generalized across relationships (including with the therapist!), and are rooted in past repeated interactions with close others. Identifying and articulating these attachment patterns promotes a stronger sense of agency over our feelings and actions, and the ability to communicate our needs and effectively solicit support from people who care about us.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a decade of experience in providing therapy for individuals and couples. I seek to create a space that is safe, non-judgemental and authentic, and am present with you as a helper in your process of healing and change. My scope of work includes relationship issues, challenges with emotional and physical intimacy, anxious cycles of thinking, feeling disconnected from one's self or others, feelings of ‘stuckness’ and/or difficulty in life transitions. In therapy we will practice tuning into your feelings, thoughts and beliefs that can help guide you.

Welcome. I’m glad you are here and taking an important step toward finding the right therapist.

Either way, you do not have to walk this path alone. Our work will focus on your experience and creating ways to navigate the world more effectively. I do this by creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment through listening without judgment and working collaboratively. My therapeutic style is integrative and warm.

If this is your first step into therapy, I congratulate you on being here. For others, this may be a really comfortable place to be in and I join you with excitement.

Thank you for viewing my profile. Whether this is the first time you are seeking therapy or you are thinking about returning after a long hiatus, the idea of finding a therapist can be daunting. The experience of therapy is highly personal and it is important to find someone who feels like a good fit. I value the importance of creating a safe and warm environment that fosters growth through exploration. I attempt to meet individuals where they are at, assisting each to examine their particular issues and and come up with ways to make practical life changes when indicated.

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.

If you’re feeling stuck in the same patterns you don’t need to struggle alone. Therapy with me is a relationship where you can feel free to be (and discover) who you are. Together we create a space where you can speak openly to examine present and past, so that your desires for the future can be fulfilled. In our work you can expect to gain insight into underlying narratives and beliefs that are shaped by a unique personal history, learn new skills that alleviate suffering, heal, notice increased confidence and reduced conflict. When your perspective shifts so does the way others relate to you.

Navigating a significant life transition? Feeling stuck and struggling to make necessary life changes? Experiencing emptiness or a sense of disconnection? Understanding the root of your anxiety or sadness is crucial for making sense of your emotional struggles—common challenges I often address in my practice. My approach centers on building a strong therapeutic connection, inviting you to safely become more honest with yourself and others. Together, we'll move beyond surface-level symptom management, exploring how unconscious conflicts and past experiences are impacting your life and hindering lasting change.
