Humana Therapists in Gramercy Park, New York, NY

Many of my clients come seeking clarity on why they feel the way they feel, what's getting in the way of their goals, and how they have established patterns of relating that do not serve them. Others struggle with long-term mental health issues, trauma or crisis. I work with clients to solve problems and diminish symptoms by exploring the roots of their troubles. Through my training and careful listening, I empower my clients to create lasting change in their lives through the insight we gain together while providing a safe space to connect and experience relief.

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.

I am a therapist practicing in NY. I offer you support, space, and resources to improve your emotional well-being. My ideal clients are adults looking to improve their mental health and are interested in the connection between our minds and our bodies. They are looking for space and tools to understand and ease symptoms of anxiety and/or depression in order to navigate our world in an easier and more authentic way.

“-I am a Resilience Lab therapist-” Let’s prioritize your wants, needs and desires. Therapy is a space where you get to receive the attention you may have not been gifting yourself. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, battling depression or self-esteem related issues, Lgbtqpia+ challenges or any other stressors life creates, I am certain we can collaboratively work together towards a living that is self-serving and on your terms.

The following questions are common: Why can’t I sleep? Why don’t I feel like myself? Why do I feel numb, depressed, anxious, stressed, and panicky? I cannot deal with my family, friends, or school and work! How do I deal with discrimination, oppression, microaggressions, marginalization, racism at work or school, etc.? The feelings and symptoms you are experiencing may be about your body and mind trying to adjust to difficult and stressful life experiences. These circumstances heavily impact your ability to stay positive and focus on work or school due to feeling. Especially with everything that’s going on in our world right now

While navigating your inner world and relationships, you may be feeling uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or alone. I work with individual clients experiencing interpersonal stress—whether it be rooted in anxiety, depression, or anger. If you’re holding unresolved emotions like irritability, stress, or sadness, you might be experiencing relationship strain with family, conflict at work, or difficulty expressing your feelings in an intimate partnership. If you’re a loved one of someone living with borderline personality disorder or severe and persistent mental illness, you may be feeling helpless or struggling to find supportive direction.

“-I am a Resilience Lab therapist-” Being a creative can come with unique stressors that many won’t comprehend, so you deserve the benefits of therapy to work through the challenges that life has brought to your doorstep. Whether you paint, act, play music, or make videos, the creation of art requires you to be in touch with your emotions to some degree. So it’s challenging when your emotions feel like they’re out of your control: when you’re too anxious to really get into character, or too depressed to get out of bed, let alone turn on your ring light.

“-I am a Resilience Lab therapist-” My ideal client is someone who is stressed, dealing with burnout, dealing with everyday life challenges and are stuck or unsure of what his/her next move may be, who needs someone to listen and be heard, in a “safe space” where he/she can freely express his or herself. Someone who understands everyone struggles and it is okay to ask for help. Whose goals are to learn better ways to cope and deal with his/her issues. Working together, my hope is to get this client closer to their ideal self, a self without despair but filled with hope.

My clients include women of color from diverse backgrounds who are struggling with self love, self esteem, colorism, hair stigma, cultural adjustment, religious identity, and intersectionality. Women of color are hit the hardest with race-related stress, and yet they seldom have the proper resources or tools to heal. In my practice, I help clients disrupt the intergenerational trauma that continues impacting them.

Hi I'm Madeline! I am a sex-positive, open-minded counselor treating adolescents and adults for a variety of mental health concerns. My clients, many of whom are in the LGBTQ+ community, are looking to make positive changes in their lives. I focus mainly on anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders, depression, gender identity and emotional intelligence.

Therapy is a space to share your story and grow into the best version of yourself. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, transitions, loneliness, and relationship issues. Whether these conditions are brought on by school, work, family issues, and/or societal difficulties, we’ll collaborate to find ways to cope, become more resilient, and make the most out of life. The modalities I use depend on what works best for you. For example, I might use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you break unhelpful patterns, or mindfulness to help you stay present while unpacking difficult emotions.

I believe that everyone deserves to feel accepted, loved, and worthy. As your therapist, I will discuss and begin to understand different aspects of your life. Together we will develop goals to overcome specific challenges for you to live a life where you feel more connected, hopeful, and fulfilled. While I work with clients of all different ages and presenting issues, a big part of my practice is supporting individuals looking to increase their self-esteem, process past trauma, or decrease levels of anxiety and depression.

Hello! I’m so glad you are here seeking support. You may be experiencing overwhelming stress, struggling in your relationships, grieving a loss or navigating other difficult circumstances. You may be seeking to learn more about yourself and your relationships, or searching for ways to make your daily experience more fulfilling. Whether this applies or you are simply looking for a safe, non-judgemental space to talk and process your emotions, I am here to support you. As a therapist, I practice collaboratively, with my goal being to co-create a space of empathy, safety, and trust.

My goal is to support my client in providing the objectivity, knowledge and tools for change as well as healing. I have a wide range of experience with youth, adolescents, adults and even seniors, I being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community find that I have a greater understanding and knowledge of the experience of the community and can provide better insight. I welcome goal oriented clients and can provide the structure they need but can also be free associative and work openly at the clients pace, moving between personal issues they want to work through, use trauma informed methods to help work through PTSD or need a safe place.

I work with people healing from trauma. They might experience unresolved grief, unhelpful defense mechanisms, unhealthy attachments, or struggle to feel at home in their bodies. I emphasize improving relationships with yourself and others so you move toward self-love, acceptance, and growth. I also work with clients on relationship issues, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Yes, we all struggle. Just because “it could be worse,” doesn’t make your experience less valid or worthy of support.

Problems can feel insurmountable if we tackle them alone. I believe that a genuine, empathic connection with another person is often the first step toward healing. I am here to offer you a safe space to explore opportunities for change, growth and self-discovery. Through our mutual engagement in the therapy process, my hope is that you gain insight about your relationships, your sense of self, who you are and who you want to become. I believe that relationships – with ourselves, with others, or with our environment – are the core of human experience. Often the most overlooked relationship is the one we have with ourselves.
