Infertility Therapists in Grand Central, New York, NY

Are you struggling with a relationship? Are you finding it difficult to develop, maintain, or deepen your relationships - with partners, friends, family, or colleagues? Are you realizing your hopes and dreams?

Are you feeling anxious, irritable and overwhelmed? Are you a new mom and don't feel connected to your baby? Are you a women in your 40's or 50's and having menopausal symptoms like irritability, low mood and fatigue? So many people feel like they have to "power through" symptoms of anxiety or depression--when there is treatment available. You don't deserve to feel this way.

I feel that therapy is most effective when the patient and therapist work both in the present and the past. Often the patient seeks therapy in order to relieve a symptom (i.e. depression, anxiety) or to resolve a relationship issue and they want relief quickly. I understand this need to feel better as quickly as possible but also feel that it is important to address early interpersonal issues that are having an impact on current relationships. In working along these parallel paths patients often feel relief of symptoms and gain a better understanding of lifelong dysfunctional patterns.

Thanks for taking a moment to find out more about my services! I enjoy working with individuals (including adolescents) and couples and specialize in Premarital, Interfaith, Multicultural, and Infertility work. I strive to create a safe space for my clients to share, be heard and witnessed, explore, heal, and grow. My style of working with clients is relational, holistic, collaborative, and creative. I deeply believe in a client-centered and strengths-based approach. My counseling technique is a combination of depth oriented, family systems, and experiential therapies (i.e., art/play therapy, mindfulness) with the goals of insight, healing, and behavior change.

For many, the path to parenthood isn't easy. I have been helping couples and individuals create families for over 25 years. My practice is devoted to infertility , adoption and all forms of family building. I counsel couples and individuals coping with infertility , pregnancy loss, IVF and other family building options including donor egg/sperm/embryo and compassionate surrogacy. I educate people about adoption and offer support and guidance throughout the process. I coach parents on how to talk to their child about their beginnings. I also do assessments of egg donors and intended parents interviews for IVF centers.

Are you in the midst of a life transition-divorce, illness or loss? Are you a parent who wants to protect your child from the fallout of divorce? Do you have a child with special needs that is a challenge to parent? Are you looking to break out of a longstanding pattern of behavior that doesn't serve you well? Are you in a relationship that is painful and you don't know if it can be healed? Are you struggling with issues of infertility or thinking about adoption? Facing these issues and challenges can be daunting. I work with individuals to help them connect to their own capacity for transformation and growth. With the help of therapy people can develop tools and discover resilience that they can use now and in the future to overcome challenges that stand in the way of satisfaction, happiness, and a more fulfilling life.

As a solution-focused, mindfulness based cognitive/behavioral psychologist, I work by collaborating with you to identify problem areas and devise manageable strategies in the service of gradual, stepwise change. Our work looks at perceptions, thoughts, feelings and behavior and helps you alter and manage these. The fact that you are indeed able to make change becomes surprisingly clear to you, and it is done at a pace that feels workable.

.Welcome! I am truly passionate about collaborating with you as we explore ways to find your authentic self and heal all of the old wounds and patterns that have stood or continue to stand in the way of your personal success as an individual, couple or family member. Are you and/or your current relationship challenged with issues of infidelity/"sexting"/virtual flirting via social networks or have you entered into the shame/blame game causing you and your partner to drift apart?

Life can be overwhelming on any given day, but when mental health concerns are added to the mix, it can seem impossible to overcome even small hiccups. This is normal, but it is not something that you should have to deal with alone. My goal as a therapist is to address whatever problems you are experiencing at any given moment. I provide structured sessions using evidence-based approaches to help you or your family tackle concerns related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, trauma, grief, relationship stressors, infertility and adoption issues, sport performance, and life adjustments.

As a licensed clinical social worker and private psychotherapist, I am interested in supporting individuals, couples, and families coping with such issues as anxiety, depression, infertility , relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have extensive experience working with those facing chronic illness, end-of-life- challenges, and bereavement and have completed advanced clinical training in family therapy at the Ackerman Institute for the Family. I take a client-centered, relational approach and strive to create a safe, warm, and supportive space for joint exploration, in which clients can feel comfortable exploring and addressing their thoughts and challenges.

I work well with clients seeking help with stress management, relationship issues, goal attainment, or issues related to emotion and self-esteem. My ideal clients are professionals who are seeking results. In addition to my work with clients, I also provide practice building tools for clinicians. Although I am currently on sabbatical from psychotherapy clients, I do oversee my associates, Amanda Pelcher, LMFT and Grayson Stadler, LCSW. You can have a free consultation with my office to learn more. Send us an email or give us a call so we may assist you further!

While opening yourself up to being vulnerable can seem intimidating, Julia knows how fulfilling and rewarding starting therapy is. She works with individuals to create a collaborative therapeutic dynamic in which the client feels respected, heard, and understood. She knows that each client is the expert in their own lives and utilizes this to create a tailored experience. Julia approaches therapy through a strengths-based perspective, bringing her empathy, compassion and kindness into the room. She works with people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, body image issues and relationship stress.

Over my 10+ years of practice, I have greatly enjoyed working with clients in overcoming their concerns and in reaching their greatest potential. The specific decision to seek therapy varies from client to client; though most clients express a common desire for life to feel better, to decrease stress, to be more fulfilled, and to feel less emotional pain. My approach with clients is highly collaborative, open, and interactive with a focus on viewing clients in a holistic manner.

I specialize in providing neurodiverse affirming therapy. What does this mean? It means that my therapeutic approach is to help you embrace your differences while still trying to navigate a neurotypical world. Usually the clients I see in my practice are adults who have trouble navigating life transitions and are usually on the spectrum of ADHD, Autism, OCD, Anxiety, and/or Depression. I don’t believe people necessarily fit in a neat little box that is labelled with a mental health diagnosis. I don’t believe that a diagnosis should be a means to an end for treatment. There’s no one size fits all treatment.

I work with a variety of populations, cultures and & issues. Since I have been in practice for many years and have training and expertise in many modalities of treatment, I adapt the treatment to fit the individual needs of each client with special emphasis on respecting his or her uniqueness as I help them heal and grow to reach their full potential.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified psychoanalyst in New York City. I have been practicing for over 20 years and have advanced training in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis from the American Institute for Psychoanalysis. I see individuals across the lifespan and believe that psychotherapy can provide a rich opportunity for personal growth and healing. My approach is relational and collaborative, focusing on your unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment, helping you develop a greater capacity for enjoying life and living well.

I am a seasoned, dedicated individual and couples therapist with over 15 years of experience treating adults struggling with anxiety, depression, loss and grieving, relationship issues and work challenges. I will work collaboratively with you to gently and compassionately explore the recurring patterns in behavior and relating that cause you pain and stop you from getting what you want personally and professionally. We'll look to the past but spend most of our time in the present learning more effective ways to make decisions, take action and communicate with the important people in your life.

Are you struggling with your relationship(s)? Are you in need of couples counseling or sex therapy? Are trying to cope after discovering infidelity?

If you answered "Yes!" to any of these questions, then I would LOVE to work with you - and teach you about valuable tools to help you secure SUCCESS!
