Oxford Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

Are you ready to make some change in your life? Beginning the therapy process can be daunting, but you deserve support to feel calm, confident, and able to achieve your personal goals. My style as a therapist is highly collaborative which means you have a voice in this process. My ideal client is looking to create a therapeutic relationship where personal healing can happen.

Do you feel that life could be more joyful, more meaningful, more productive, more balanced - but don’t know how to access this elusive "more"? You may have had a hard time finding your footing after a big life event or transition. It's common to struggle with identifying and communicating about what you think, feel, want and need. You may feel disconnected from friends and family and don't know how to ask for or accept help. The more we try to cover up what we're struggling with, the more we feel alone and fear being "exposed." This can cause us to feel inauthentic, awkward or ashamed and we may experience anxiety and depression.

Haley provides evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and adults. She has had the opportunity to provide care in private practice, school, and medical settings. This array of experiences has fostered her ability to understand clients through a multi-disciplinary lens and draw upon a multitude of evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Prevention-Focused Care, Crisis Intervention, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention. She utilizes these therapies to target anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, trauma, and executive functioning deficits.

I began practicing in Maryland in 1978. I resumed practicing in New York in 2004 and added an office in New Jersey in 2013. My practice covers a broad age range from 2-90. I am most comfortable treating adults with a variety of mental health issues. I also see couples and do family therapy. In addition, I have done play therapy with children. I am also comfortable conducting psychological evaluations of children ranging in age from a year to 21 years. I am an expert in developmental disabilities including autism spectrum disorders.

As a strengths based and patient centered clinician, my existential approach allows patients to discover a stronger and more fitting identity, and identify the obstacles that hinder self-actualization in a nonjudgmental, open-minded forum. I counsel individual adults and couples facing many issues including anxiety, depression, relationship discord, sexuality issues, occupational distress and substance related problems.

Integral Psychotherapy, which is holistic and transformational, is a mind-body-spirit approach that deepens self-awareness and well-being. My approach is positive and supportive, bringing out our innate potentials for growth and healing. We shed the false self and align with our true nature, which is love. The Self-Inquiry Process is an experiential guide to awakening that can be used as an adjunct to therapy.

You’re a strong, successful individual who puts in hard work to maintain your endeavors! Everyone looks up to you- you are resilient, go getter & just bad ass at everything you do, it makes you feel amazing!

These challenges don’t have to define you, we can help you define them & heal through it… I look forward to meeting you & joining you on this journey of wellness towards happiness!

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children and adults in Westchester County and Manhattan (Midtown East). I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness, and have been trained by top therapy institutes in the field. I strive to regular advance my knowledge and to provide leading scientifically researched treatments.

Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

I have experience working with a diverse population of individuals within an outpatient setting who have experienced a wide range of issues, such as, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Notably, I have worked with the Bridges program at Adelphi providing support to young adults on the Autism Spectrum. In addition, I have also worked as a Brief Strategic Family Therapist (BSFT). In this role, I used the BSFT model in order to help families better their communication by using a client –focused and strength-based approach.

In an age of ambivalence, avoidance and anesthesia, I recognize a need to slow down, be centered and get mindful of who we are to then decide what we are doing, where we are going and why. For many (men in particular!), this numbness extends beyond what we do and seeps into our emotional, mental and spiritual lives as we search for ways to be braver, bolder, and better. I employ a balanced mind-body-spirit approach to support those facing “substance” abuse struggles, anxiety/depression, life changes, career moves, relationship issues, grief and general life transitions.

When you lose the ability to connect with others or your connections are unfulfilling, you may choose to settle for just getting by. You may put on a happy face because it seems easier while pushing more painful emotions aside. Maybe you fear if you show your true self you will lose control or worse, be seen as unlovable. You feel stuck - perhaps struggling to even identify what is causing you pain. I get it. Facing fear, shame, self-doubt or past injuries can be overwhelming and the prospect of change daunting, especially when you think you have to do it by yourself.

“Everything can be taken from us but one thing, the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way” — Viktor Frankl. It is my firm belief that we free ourselves to think and act in new ways when we are willing to embrace the exploration of the self and develop insights into the motivations behind our behavior. We will work together to build a shared understanding of the obstacles that you are facing, whether that means improving your interpersonal relationships, exploring your identity/sexuality/spirituality, strengthening your self esteem, finding motivation and success in your career, navigating overwhelming and traumatic experiences, or identifying maladaptive patterns that may be acting as barriers to the life you want. I offer both short and long term psychotherapy to adolescents and adults seeking assistance with anxiety, mood disorders, mood dysregulation, obsessive thinking, compulsive behavior, ADHD, substance abuse, anger, impulsivity, highly sensitive temperament, and psychoeducation related to psychiatric medication management.
