Elders (65+) Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

It must be overwhelming to see all these names. How to choose? And decisions tend to be harder when you're not feeling at your best. My suggestion: see who you're drawn to, then have a consultation with two or three people. It's so important to find the right match. Most good therapy takes place in the connection between patient and therapist. You need to feel you can share who you really are with one of us. Therapy is about emotional honesty, with yourself and others. Easy to say, harder to do. But it's worth the work.

Berenice Rosales, is Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. Berenice's style of therapy is a wide range of art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), multisystemic family therapy (MFT), and dialectic behavior therapy (DBT). Berenice has experience working with an eclectic set of issues including, anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, grief and loss, adjustment disorder, body image-based disorders, among others. She works with individuals, such as children, adolescents, young adults, adults and seniors . In addition, she has experience working with couples and marriage counseling.

Trained in dialectical behavior treatment and cognitive behavior treatment, I am a compassionate, experienced, and skilled social worker who has held many senior clinical management positions. Me and my associates are eager to collaborate and work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship issues, employment issues, anger management, and addictions. In a focused and direct manner, we are able to address immediate concerns and symptoms, as well as to deeply explore unresolved childhood issues, emotions, and traumas. Together, with the client, we will exercise coping skills to empower them to take control of their life.

I provide therapy to individual adults, couples and families. Individual therapy may focus on depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, work, grief, aging, caregiving, and illness. Diverse clientele include LGBTQ+, POC, immigrants and seniors . My practice specialties are couples therapy (premarital concerns, divorce, parenting, emotional and sexual intimacy, cultural differences, finances, family of origin conflicts, communication strategies) and adult family therapy (adult children, siblings and parents in long-standing or current conflict, multigenerational tension, family business, divorce, or trauma history).

I work with people of diverse sexualities and racial/class backgrounds, from teens to seniors . Many are new to NYC or in other transitions. Clients come with anxiety, a trauma surfacing, work or relationship issues. Now most people's lives and psyches have been affected by the pandemic in some way. I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully, even joyfully. They're figuring out how to negotiate this tumultuous world while being true to their own values. They look at how society's shaping of gender, sexuality, race, class, age and (dis)ability affect their life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing telehealth (phone, video) therapy in Massachusetts and New York. I work with young adults (18-30), couples, families, and older adults (65+) for challenges related to mood (depression and anxiety), relationship and identity changes, and challenges stemming from neurological conditions such as concussion, traumatic brain injuries, and stroke. I am also a researcher within the Harvard Medical School system, and started my private practice to more flexibly deliver evidence-based approaches and share the latest science on what can help live well and navigate stressors effectively.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in private practice in New York City. I treat Adults, Adolescents, and Children. I provide Individual Therapy, Family Therapy, Couples Therapy, Marriage Therapy, Group Therapy, Play Therapy, Mindfulness, and Sandplay Therapy. In addition, to the many clinical issues I treat (Anxiety/Depression) I provide specialized treatments in Substance Abuse/Dependence, and Methadone/Suboxone (Medication Assisted-Treatment- Counseling), ADHD/ADD, and Social Skills training (all patients/ Asperger's).

I aim to help my clients with self-improvement and finding better ways to cope with stressors. I think a lot of of my clients typically want peace in their lives and that there are roadblocks that rise up that prevents it from forming. I also offer supportive counseling towards trauma history if you feel comfortable doing the deeper work with me.

We all feel overwhelmed and stuck sometimes. Maybe you want to make some changes but can't quite seem to get there. Or too many changes were thrown at you and you're trying to figure out how to cope. Whether you're experiencing loss and grief, a separation or divorce, career overhauls, facing chronic illness or stress, exploring your identities, living coffee-to-coffee, or all the things at once, I'm here to support you.

Experience has taught me that there is no single script for a successful therapeutic endeavor. You bring to each encounter exactly what you are experiencing in the moment. You may arrive looking for clarity, healing, or hope. Our task is to clear some space to enable new thoughts and perspectives to emerge. Insight can lead to change, but not always in a straight line. Our ongoing conversation is the place of discovery, dynamic struggle, and meaning making, all of which contribute to new ways of relating and perceiving.

Imagine how liberating it would be to live an authentic life! In this life, you would live according to your values. Your strengths and talents - your entire identity - would be defined by you, not others. You would accept and appreciate who you are, feeling comfortable in your own skin. The dreams you'd follow would be your own, not the ones pushed on you by others. If you're capable of imagining such a life, you're just as capable of making it a reality.

My client can struggle with stressors such as substance use to high-"functioning" depression; individuals that are 'going through the motions' to maintain their day-to-day life, inside they’re screaming. In recognizing the the void in care and understanding of marginalized persons' my approach in counseling is to provide emotional insight and reframing maladaptive thinking patterns through strength building.

Psychoanalytic therapy is a mode of intensive listening that provides you with a protected space to say anything that comes to mind; it is a chance to explore thoughts and feelings that you previously have not been able to articulate to yourself and to others. Psychoanalysis is a unique, extraordinary relationship that facilitates the emergence of novel and surprising ways of seeing and thinking. Inhibitions and destructive conflicts in areas of creative pursuit, career, relationships, and sex dissipate, leading to new possibilities and experiences, and the alleviation of anxiety and suffering.

We all have questions that keep us up at night. I believe exploring them in an attuned, nonjudgmental environment makes for a better sleep the next night. Therapy can help everyone. But not all therapeutic experiences look the same. No matter the approach, I hold the basic conviction that talking always helps. Even if it’s a bit uncomfortable sometimes.

Life is all about loving and being loved. The latest discoveries of neuroscience seem to indicate we are wired for love and cooperation. So often difficulties in loving and being loved discourage us from learning from our experiences and confronting out fears. Good psychotherapy can assist in the development of the innate capacity we all have for love and cooperation. Everything one needs is already available within each one of us. Being reminded of this by means of respectful and thorough listening is an important component of the therapeutic process. So much is possible in our lives. We are remarkably resilient creatures.

I provide a safe and supportive treatment environment to help clients to overcome obstacles that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Trust, empathy and respect are key elements to a successful treatment. My style is interactive, empathic and collaborative. I see each client as unique. We would work together to develop the treatment plan that is right for you. I would work with you to access your own internal resources. I am dedicated to helping clients make meaningful changes. For over 15 years, it has been my privilege to help clients reach their potential and find authentic happiness.

There are points in our lives that offer unique opportunities for change and growth. Often these moments are accompanied by painful emotions such as fear, worry, anger, or sadness. This is particularly true in today’s trying times where our familiar routines and usual sources of coping have been disrupted. However, it is precisely these times of struggle that can fuel true personal growth, if you are willing to engage in therapy.

Do you need to move forward in your life? I can help you to understand how the negative beliefs you hold about yourself may be preventing you from taking the steps you need to take in your personal life or career. I work hard to help my clients feel heard, understood, and safe in my office, recognizing that it is only in the context of a warm and nonjudgmental relationship that it is possible to explore the most difficult issues in a person's life--issues both unique to each individual and, in some sense, common to all of us as human beings.

Whether in my forensic immigration and criminal practice or in my psychotherapeutic and behavioral work, I focus on participating in a holistic, individualized approach together with each client and anyone they wish. With the belief that "We already have everything," I help clients start where they are, as they uncover their unique strengths, needs and history. I believe deeply in self-determination and personal expertise. I view our work as a dynamic, active process and work with each person to understand and express even seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and help facilitate a process of personal transformation and hope.
