Teletherapy for Greenwich Village - New York, NY

Welcome, and congratulations on taking this courageous step towards connecting with a therapist. In my practice, I offer individual and couples counseling. My approach is empathic, respectful, honest, and collaborative. Together, we will pay attention to past experiences, including family dynamics, as well as work on practical, realistic approaches to dealing with today. I have found that people are more resilient than they think. I work to help you harness that strength and regain hope.

When you come to therapy, it's important to remember that you are already trying to cope in the best way you can. But you don't have to wait until things feel unbearable before you ask for help. I have been a psychotherapist for over 25 years, & have experience working with Online Gaming, Adolescents, Parenting Conflicts, Cross-cultural Therapy, Learning Disabilities, Depression, GLBT Issues, Bereavement, Anxiety & Trauma. A video is worth a thousand words, so if you go to my website you'll find two that talk about my specialty, who I am and how I work. I work with patients online currently, & make it easy for you to get started.

The people I treat often begin therapy because they are in emotional pain or are unsatisfied with some aspects of their lives. They might be seeking better, more intimate relationships, more fulfilling careers and financial security, or relief from self-defeating thoughts, feelings, or behaviors such as anxiety, depression or addiction. My approach is individualized, and I will use the treatment approach that best suits each individual's particular needs in reaching their goals.

When someone in a relationship is an addict, unhealthy role shifts and power imbalances take hold. Once the substance abuser enters recovery, things begin to re-balance, and this power redistribution has potential for new problems. Couples and family treatment can help both partners or family members to work together to adapt to the challenges posed during this transition back to a fully-functioning relationships. Providing a safe therapeutic environment, I assist in navigating the challenges that face partners or family members once the addict enters recovery, including how to best to assist the recovering person and address life changes for loved ones.

Therapy shouldn't be an expensive luxury. I accept many commercial in-network insurances. More than ever, with the recovery from a pandemic, inflation, and lifestyle changes, there is an increase in anxiety, depressed mood, social fears and worry about the future and unknowns. Therefore, therapy is more of a necessity for many of us.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed and lacking motivation? Talking about what wears you down and organize your thoughts in a safe space will be helpful. I practice interpersonal psychotherapy focused on problem solving in the here and now, which also incorporates thought changing therapy. Life transitional issues are a natural source of stress, but also create opportunity to change. My therapeutic goal is to focus on how to change your thoughts about your circumstances to enable you to move forward fruitfully and with new and changed perspective. We cannot choose our history, but we can manage it better.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Pursuing therapy is a courageous act because it is a process where you can grow and evolve. I like to think of therapy as a collaborative healing experience where we can work together to help improve the aspects of your life that are troublesome. I'll help you discover your untapped strengths and potential in the process. My hope is that you can feel empowered, increase your confidence, and develop a better understanding of yourself. The ultimate goal of working with me is not to be stuck in therapy, but to be able to live your life more fully!

I practice Holistic Psychology and am passionate about making evidence-based therapeutic practices accessible. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and strengths-based. My approach is grounded in scientifically-backed methods with specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). I see clients of all ages ranging from young childhood through adulthood, including families and couples.

Any form of psychotherapy must be guided by one overarching purpose: to help you achieve your goals. Treatment alleviates distress and results in greater inner strength. Accordingly, therapy must be a constructive experience, and as work proceeds, you'll experience advances in your sense of well-being. On the whole, expect an upward trend of hope and greater self-esteem. Your capacity for intimacy with others and your sense of fulfillment will increase, concomitant with a decrease in suffering and pain. Psychotherapy helps to establish a profound, meaningful and healthy sense of connectedness with your world and those in it.

I work primarily with adult individuals and couples who are seeking help in navigating a variety of issues; such as managing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, life transitions and losses. As a therapist, my focus is on working collaboratively with people to support their goals. I value my clients' voice and opinions, and invite open communication in sessions.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, with over 35 years of experience. I have a variety of clinical interests and areas of specialization, including the treatment of trauma and PTSD; couples therapy with heterosexual, gay and lesbian couples; analytic work "launching" young adults; Ericksonian hypnosis; EMDR;Sensorimotor Psychotherapy; adolescent and family therapy; and in-depth analytic work with individuals who are feeling stuck in repetitive patterns or dynamics left over from childhood, and want to change. I have led ongoing therapy groups for women with interpersonal trauma histories for over 30 years.

I believe that healing and growth are part of our human experience. Our anxiety, depression and trauma often times are some of  the barriers that prevent us from achieving these goals. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions and/or trauma? Let’s meet and figure out what you need in order to cope better with these challenges. I hope that with our work together & emotional support, you will be able to conquer these obstacles and live a life full of healing and growth. As a therapist, I provide a safe space for clients to engage in the process of self-discovery while providing structure for change to take place.

As a psychotherapist I am committed to creating a warm, emphatic environment where you will feel comfortable expressing your thoughts and feelings, and engage in the collaborative process of self-exploration. I work with adolescents, adults and couples to address concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, self-harming behavior, relationship issues, parenting challenges and stage of life transitions. My therapeutic style is psychodynamic, supportive and relational. Together we will work toward identifying the interpersonal dynamics and pattens of thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you feeling stuck.

Finding a therapist is a daunting task, and the right fit in a therapeutic relationship is paramount. We often feel stuck, confused or suffering, but don't know why. Sometimes we do, but find ourselves in patterns we feel we can't change. Through exploring current and historical experiences, we will work toward reaching a greater understanding of yourself, your needs, and ways you can begin to heal and flourish. Creating a safe, accepting space for you to develop trust and process your feelings is essential. I dedicate myself to the atmosphere of compassion and curiosity, and the rewarding and challenging work of self exploration.
