Grief Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

In today's uncertain world people feel upset, angry, frightened about the future and more alone than ever before. If you are in pain - dreading your day, in a relationship that isn't working, retired not knowing what's next, afraid to take risks, grieving loss of someone significant - you don't need to be alone with these experiences. I specialize in Group Therapy. When people work together with others they can develop their capacity to connect, interact and grow closer. I help my clients develop new ways of responding to their life challenges that are intimate, powerful and growthful.

I am a clinical social worker working with individuals navigating life in 2022. I aim to create a safe space for you to explore your feelings and prioritize yourself. I believe you are the expert on your own experience, and it is my role to help you access that power through a strengths based and person-centered approach.

I make the room safe, no matter the issue you bring to me. Everyone could use therapeutic support or help achieving greater pleasure in their life at some point, whether it is to cope with a break up, figure out relationship patterns that you want to change, contend with anxiety, loneliness or depression, grieve a loss , process major life transitions or work on a marriage. I have been treating adults and couples in private practice for over 15 years.

In therapy, we will dedicate space and time to address what needs to be explored more fully in your life, so that meaningful connections can be made to begin the process of healing. Often times life changes or transitions may leave one wondering how to move forward or cope with difficult emotions that emerge from loss of a loved one, divorce, chronic illness or significant changes that alter the patterns of your life. Each session is a learning experience focused on you to better understand yourself and necessary changes.

Life is too short to feel stuck and not live fully. My clients and I work collaboratively on relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief , loss , job related stress, and trauma. I often work with men and women who either want to find love in their lives or who have recently experienced a loss of relationship through a painful break up. I have successfully helped clients getting "unstuck" and moving forward in their lives, work, and relationships. My approach is client-centered and relational. I relate to you based on your needs, your temperament, and your personal histories.

I work with individuals navigating the intricacies of the human experience to help them cope with emotions that impact relationships with the self and others. My practice specializes in supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief / loss , chronic illness, life transitions, and women’s issues.

I believe that everybody has the ability to make changes to their life. By providing a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental space I welcome people of all ages, genders, and ethnicity's and backgrounds. I believe that every person is unique and has a unique story; therefore, I use a collaborative approach with my clients to tailor their treatment.

People seeking therapy are often feeling frightened, alone and in great emotional turmoil and pain. My main focus is for my clients to feel safe, heard, understood and respected. I attempt to avoid interpretations and prefer to engage the individual, couple or family in an interactive dialogue. I believe realness and authentic communication are key factors in the healing process. Also, I never underestimate the therapeutic value of humor at certain times. My treatment approach is eclectic. I utilize psychodynamic, gestalt, existential and/or cognitive/behavioral interventions depending on the client and the situation.

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.

Therapy is a two way street. Not only do you have to put in the effort and work, but you also have to find a therapist who will do the same with you. You need to click with your therapist and find someone who will help you grow. I believe in creating safe spaces for you to be yourself and to be vulnerable.

My goal, should we work together, is to help you realize your deepest hopes, dreams and heart's desires. I would work to assist you clear any blocks to achieving these goals. Some obstacles might be emotional such as depression, anxiety, grief , anger or guilt. Other issues might be more concrete such as career focus, assuming leadership, thriving with family and community and a special relationship which require strategy and coaching. I am a mature professional who has successfully navigated the many benchmarks of life. Therefore, I can assist you through these passages.

I believe therapy is a way toward a fuller, more satisfying life. Together we will journey past the obstacles to greater self-esteem, more satisfying relationships, work and play.
