Therapists in Greenwich Village, New York, NY

I can probably help you, especially if your concerns relate to relationships or sexuality. I promise I will listen without judgement. I can help you change old patterns and increase your self-awareness. I run support groups pro bono for CaringKind for adults whose parents have Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. I am on the faculty of the Harlem Family Institute and I was a clinical supervisor at NYU.

Many seek psychotherapy when suffering proves more uncomfortable than starting a process of self-examination that may itself feel scary. Some feel anxious about finding a therapist to embark on a healing path. Others not in crisis may wish to deepen their self-knowledge and discover new priorities. Whether you're intimidated or excited, I believe my gentle and nonjudgmental manner, my years of experience, and my attunement to individuals’ pain and their drive to adapt will help put you at ease. I provide a space and guidance that support exploration to enhance self-knowledge, envision your dreams and live your fullest possible life.

My extensive experience and attuned, empathetic, approach helps guide our conversation, and inquiry to quickly identify and clarify issues that cause stress, vague feelings of unease, work and relational issues. Our first consultation should help you both put in words, and define a strategy that may begin to clarify and solve long standing problems. I have experience working with problems that overlap with high stress work environments, coaching and interpersonal work issues. My 40 year experience as a couple therapist allows me to quickly define the relationship conflict and facilitate the dialogue between the partners.

Psychoanalytic therapy is process that addresses our personal history and our cultural context, elucidating the profound and innermost conflicts and desires within us. This approach is as much about encountering suffering as it is about fostering freedom.

I am an institute trained psychotherapist, working integratively, within a contemporary, relational, psychodynamic orientation. After more than two decades of practicing in New York City, I am now located in Western Massachusetts, though I maintain NY licensure. For me, at the heart of a relational, psychodynamic, approach is my effort to strive to meet people where they are and make the work understandable and accessible based on who you are. I respect and build upon the ways in which I am invited to join and help expand psychic space, so that areas which are troubling can be demystified, transformed and feel less daunting.

I am a NY, NJ, and CT licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. I was born and raised in Ireland and received my BA in Psychology from University College Dublin. After coming to the US, I received both my MSW and Ph.D. from Columbia University School of Social Work. I am trained in CBT and DBT, both evidence-based approaches to the treatment of a range of mental health concerns. These therapeutic approaches provide flexible frameworks through which to view presenting issues and are practical and skill-based which allow for gains to be carried forward long after therapy has finished.

This world can be hard at times, particularly for people whose lives aren't included in the dominant narrative. As a therapist specializing in supporting LGBTQIA+ adults and teens, my goal is to combat the impact of these challenges and promote healing. I help clients to develop compassionate self-understanding, encourage authenticity, uncover deep personal truths, and hopefully attain fulfillment on their terms. I use a trauma-informed, intersectional, anti-oppressive lens.

My advanced training is in child and family psychotherapy. I am trained as an individual, couples and family psychotherapist.

I also worked for years at a clinic, that served many LGBT clients. My clinical approaches includes psychodynamic, systems , cognitive-behavioral techiques,

I listen closely and on multiple levels to the people with whom I work. I want to hear how you think, how you experience the world, and how you feel. I'm fascinated by how psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis, can be thought of as processes of democratic empowerment and how we can create together movement towards freeing your desire and intuition to serve as guides for you. Whatever array of symptoms (anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma) that you struggle with, we will seek to unlock the hold they have on you so that you may gain greater personal freedom, creativity, and clarity around your sense of purpose and destiny.

I specialize in the treatment of adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, and other struggles interfering with overall life satisfaction. I also work with older adolescents, including college students as well as couples.

The goal of my work with you is to help you make your life more fulfilling. Good psychotherapy will alleviate your personal suffering, and make you more resourceful emotionally and practically. It will strengthen your capacity to negotiate relationships, to love, and feel more alive and connected. I respect your intelligence, and aim for us to be collaborators in the process of psychotherapy. I listen closely to you and share my questions and observations with you.

I've been in private practice for over 30 years, seeing a wide variety of people. I see adults and teens for individual psychodynamic psychotherapy, and also counsel couples and parents. I see clients for short-term as well as long-term therapy, depending on their needs. I work with clients suffering with anxiety and depression, relationship issues, communication difficulties, and work matters. Each person is seen as a unique individual with concerns that are taken seriously and addressed with respect and caring in a safe, non-judgmental environment. The goal is to promote self-understanding, self-acceptance and a happier life.

I am dedicated to facilitating deep and impactful change. I not only treat symptoms but encourage my clients to aim for more connected and fulfilled lives. I believe that a safe, supportive and truly affirming environment is the beginning. From this place, clients are able to take necessary risks, enhance connections to self and others, lift or establish boundaries, desensitize and reprocess distress, among other meaningful shifts. This is achieved through methods such as imaginal and in-vivo exposure, visualization, mindful breathing and noticing and modifying experiences in real-time.

People find me easy to talk to. I have extensive training, as well as an abundance of life experience. I like to clarify and focus quickly on patients' personal goals. I believe that moments of peace can be achieved at point "A" while progress continues toward point "B".

You feel hopeless, angst, dread, or freaked out. You feel anxiety and have trouble sleeping, headaches, stress, palpitations, and/or nightmares.

As a psychotherapist with ten years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with many clients of all ages. My education at Fordham University well prepared me to provide my clients with the highest level of care and compassion. Through my vast experience treating clients I have become an expert in trauma-informed care, managing anxiety, symptoms of depression, and strengthening relationships. I look forward to connecting with you to begin working towards your goals. I am currently treating clients in person and via telehealth. Please reach out to schedule a consultation!

Searching for and starting with a therapist for yourself or your child can be a daunting and overwhelming process. It doesn't have to be. If you are interested in feeling better about yourself, struggling to change relationship patterns or have a child that needs therapeutic intervention due to divorce or change in family structure or if you are an expectant or new parent in need of support, I can help. Together we will develop a plan for emotional growth in a supportive environment.

Some people come to me for help in dealing with difficult situations that they find themselves in: they’re stuck in moving along with their careers (in acquiring work that’s more fulfilling or remunerative); stymied in finding love; overwhelmed by having to cope with a loss or significant change; stressed out over mending or escaping a broken relationship; struggling with parenting their children in a complex world. Other people come to me for help in overcoming deep-seated afflictions that prevent them from leading normal lives: depression, anxiety, addiction, or phobias.

In my practice, I work with people who want to understand the connections between past experiences and patterns in their current lives, to have more satisfying relationships, and to just feel better. The people I work with want to feel connected to others and at peace with themselves. Many suffer from depression or anxiety, have experienced trauma, struggle with body image or eating, feel creatively blocked, or find themselves in the midst of a challenging period of transition.
