Female Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

Are you struggling in your relationships, energy, or reaching a specific goal? Are you feeling stressed or anxious about work? I am an experienced CBT therapist with a direct, humor-filled, and positivistic therapy style, and if that approach is appealing to you, I'd love to help.

I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist who believes in healing through holistic means. I use client-centered and relational approaches to offer support, suggest solutions, and build sustaining change with my clients.

I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist experienced in working with new and expecting mothers/birthing people who are dealing with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder. I'm also working with women who have experienced loss or miscarriage and deal with fertility challenges. I received a dual Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Columbia University and have been in the field since 2015.

I am a marriage and family therapist trained to work with individuals, couples and families. I have a special interest in working with clients navigating intersecting identities, such as how their immigrant values and western culture interact. I enjoy working with women who find themselves stepping out of boxes and breaking barriers set for them within their intimate relationships, families and society at large. I am also thoroughly delighted to join my clients on their journeys through recovery from religion.

You've come a long way, baby. You're doing it. You're killing it at work or at school. You always have. But somehow, those old ways of thinking and feeling about yourself have followed. At work, and with your friends, it looks like you have it all together. If anything, you're the first to lend a hand to others, even when you are completely running on empty. But something is missing, and its gnawing at you. You don't know what you want or need most of the time. We can figure that out together.

I'm a proud queer/pan/poly human, and I absolutely love being a therapist. As a straight-passing queer person, I have a lived understanding of what it’s like to have multiple marginalized identities that are misread both in and outside my communities. As a single parent who was raised in a very religious environment, I have done a lot of my own introspection and exploration to become the sex positive and body positive person I am today. I am a compassionate, non-judgmental, and empowerment-focused therapist. I aim to support you in living freely and authentically, as you thrive in your relationships with yourself and others.

If you're someone who's prone to anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt, absorbs and feels a lot, identifies as an empath, or is the person that friends and family seek for support and guidance, you may find yourself especially overwhelmed, stressed, and run-down.  I work primarily with women and adolescents coping with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. My approach is integrative, in that I use various tools and therapeutic techniques to help you discover and build upon your unique strengths. I provide a safe and caring environment in which you feel truly accepted and supported.

Struggling to find your way in personal relationships or professional settings? Questioning where you want life to take you? Running into the same walls? Speaking with a therapist could provide a fresh perspective. Therapy can help you change the way you think and feel about your relationships and life; it can improve the way you manage difficult situations. I am an experienced, licensed professional. I take a collaborative approach. My training and expertise can help us understand and deal with a broad range of concerns including your relationships, loneliness, fears and anxieties, guilt and regrets, depression, bipolar and eating disorders.

I specialize in helping professional women (and smart men!) of color in successfully navigating the increasingly challenging world of work. It is an understatement to say that the world of work is complex. From balancing family and intimate relationships with our professional ambitions to handling the challenges of maneuvering organizational politics and work relationships where we feel people just aren’t getting us. I get it!

Do you sometimes feel that despite a good job and friends you feel unhappy and stuck? You're a 20-something or 30-something going through major life changes with your career, dating, family, or friends. Your relationships are unsatisfying and you’re struggling to stay motivated. You see all of your friends moving forward with their lives but you're standing still. Your feelings of anxiety and depression are getting in your way of living your best life. As a young adult, you're faced with making big life decisions, often feeling scared, overwhelmed, and with little support.

Therapy can help you make meaning of your life and provide insight, growth and self compassion. Through the therapeutic process you can overcome major obstacles that get in the way of feeling genuine health, productivity, vitality and wellness. As an expert in female sexual health, I am the co-author of “A Piece of CAKE: Recipes for Female Sexual Pleasure,” a sexuality guide for women and couples. I help women and couples overcome difficulties with communication and connection. As a seasoned clinician, I successfully treat reproductive and maternal mental health issues and help parents cope with early child development.

I am a dynamic therapist based in Tribeca and a New York City native with over a decade of experience. As a psychotherapist, I focus on providing my clients with compassion and fresh perspectives. My goal is to offer you a relaxed environment free of judgment that will encourage you to face and work through your greatest challenges. In our work together, you will learn skills that empower you to reach and sustain your goals. Social categories -- such as race, gender identity, and sexual orientation -- intersect and work together to affect an individual’s lived experience.

From the outside, it appears you're successful and have everything under control. However, on the inside, you struggle with being confident in yourself and quieting the anxious thoughts that breed self-doubt. You may be fed up with feeling anxious in everyday situations, frustrated with friends and family who don't understand or burned out over sacrificing your happiness for the comfort of others. It may even be hard to remember a time when you didn't feel this way. There is one thing you're certain of: you're ready for some relief, to love yourself again & face your future with hope.

Experienced, effective therapist, focusing on sexuality, relationships & intimacy issues in individuals and couples. Embracing a wide range of ages, backgrounds and multi cultures and work with sexual dysfunction in men and women and all emotional themes involving intimacy. It's important and imperative to find the uniqueness of everyone's story and find healing ways to make the present fulfilling. I strive to understand the people I work with deeply and to address non-working elements in a supportive, non-judgmental and collaborative way. Together, we look to discover, understand and resolve recurring obstacles to your well-being.

Effective psychotherapy depends upon the unique relationship that develops between client and therapist. I provide an environment that is grounded in authenticity, warmth, safety and acceptance. Together we will work on discovering ways of being that no longer work for you while experimenting with new possibilitiies. We will develop a healing relationship that will let you open up in new and unexpected ways while we explore life's sorrows, challenges as well as joys and successes. Come in for a consultation and together we will discover if we are a good fit.

The way we see ourselves is a major factor in the way we behave towards others. Many of my clients grapple with questions of purpose and low self-esteem. These feelings impact their day-to-day life, as they are constantly questioning their worth. One of my first assessments of my clients is how they speak to themselves. I focus on reframing negative self-talk to help improve the inner-dialogue of each of my clients. I also specialize in women ’s issues, with a focus on women with chronic health concerns.

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.

Hi there! For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an acute awareness of the power of love. In my personal relationships, I strive to be a reminder of this force within all of us by providing my loved ones with a safe environment to be all that they are without judgment nor shame. I am acquainted with various cultures, which allows for me to appropriately connect with others and genuinely provide empathy and compassion throughout the therapeutic journey. I am eagerly looking forward to working with you!
