Oscar Health Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Or even worse, UNDER-whelmed? I would love to assist you in finding a brighter path forward! Whether it's anxiety, depression, or overcoming a learning disability/cognitive deficit, you can overcome it. We all have self-doubt and I have many tools to assist in a better tomorrow. If you are tired of being tired, please reach out as I can foster your internal journey to find the best YOU!

Every person has a unique personality and philosophy on life. Because of this, every person needs to be treated differently. This requires a unique psychotherapist, with a wide range of experience and a wealth of knowledge. Whether you're a young person, or an older person, you need expert guidance to effectively treat your issue.

My therapeutic approach is to meet you where you’re at, work together to determine what best meets your needs, and to collaboratively create a plan that helps you achieve your goals. Growing up in a country where mental health was a developing field, I saw the first-hand effects of an overlooked self. I consider it a privilege to assist you in your reconnection to mind, body, and soul—one therapy session at a time.

As an active therapist, I help individuals, couples, families, and children identify and transform the story that has been governing their life. It is my belief, that with the right support everyone has the innate capability to show up and transform their life. Past or present circumstances may have created pain or a belief of powerlessness, but these circumstances do not define you. You can reclaim your power and sense of authorship over your own life. In the words of Marianne Wiliamson, " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

I am currently seeing clients in NY, CT, and FL. I specialize in working with veterans, first responders, and work best with clients who have interest in a solution-focused, problem-solving approach to issues. Life is complicated and that means those issues can be overwhelming at times, but with your motivation, we can get you to a better place. We are all works in progress and deserve to live a fulfilling life.

Are you having difficulty with your relationship? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? You may be fed up with the constant arguing, feeling alone and unloved, or feeling unsure about your future together. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to have good communication. You’re ready to feel reconnected with your partner. Most of all, you’re ready to feel excited about your relationship like you did when you first met.

I can imagine how hard it is to find the right therapist. It requires intuition, courage, patience, and readiness to be vulnerable. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and my focus is to provide you a safe and nonjudgmental space with deep compassion and respect to your unique identity and your life story. You may be overwhelmed with anxiety, fear, guilt, sadness, and or anger. You may be tired of feeling not good enough, feeling lost and numb, or perhaps you are having nightmares and feeling stuck with traumatic memories from the past. Healing is possible and support is available for you to take.

Welcome, my name is JayDene Albert RN, LCSW-R, and I am a mental health professional with over 22 years of experience. My clients are often dually diagnosed. Clients dealing with medical and emotional conditions that are exacerbated by the other. Common medical issues including heart disease, cancer, AIDS, HIV, COVID and end of life issues can lead to depression and anxiety or vice versa. My approach to therapy is holistic and I am warm, supportive and direct, when need be. I use several models including CBT, MI, REBT, EBT, and "Stages of Change" by Prochaska and DiClemente. A client's needs should dictate the approach.

I approach my work with a belief in the power of the human connection and the ability of people to nurture one another. Beginning with a relationship based on respect and empathy, my goal is to help people create a more balanced life, one that is both authentic and open to change. I view our process as collaborative and know that to communicate freely, people must feel safe, supported and connected. In this space, one is better able to express their needs, provide feedback and develop insight into their own experience.

Expressing interest in therapy is the beginning of your healing journey. Whether it’s your first time looking for a therapist, you took some time off, or you’re looking for someone new, I commend you on advocating for yourself and taking this step.

With a caring and non judgmental approach, I work with clients to help them achieve the deep satisfaction and joy missing from their lives. Many circumstances have brought you to the point where anxiety, depression, low self esteem or frustration have made it difficult for you to live your best life. Together we embark on a journey which helps you to better understand yourself and then implement changes so that you are in charge again

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. in 2002 and my Masters in Social Work from Adelphi University in Long Island, New York in 2007. In addition to working as a therapist in private practice and clinics, I also have other diverse experiences, including working at Rikers Island, and running foster care group homes for at-risk teenagers. I have also spent the past six years working at Kingsboro Psychiatric Center, a large state psychiatric center located in Brooklyn, New York.

Therapy is a powerful tool for reflection and change. Whether working with children, teens, or adults, my approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Sometimes we become stuck in painful or unsatisfying ways of being and need a safe space to learn about ourselves, heal, and grow. Issues I commonly work with include behavioral concerns, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I work with clients to understand the impact of past experiences on the present, but also focus on the here-and-now in session and incorporate breathing and meditation practices to cope with everyday stress.

It takes courage to open up and come to therapy. My approach is to meet you where you are at, and go from there. It is important to focus on what your goals are in therapy and ensure that we work toward them together. My style is warm, interested, and compassionate.
