Clinical Supervision and Licensed Supervisors Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

At different times in our lives we can feel stuck and struggle with finding our way. Oftentimes, our usual ways of dealing with these struggles aren't helping or may even be preventing us from feeling better. I work with individuals who are dealing with loss and trauma, sadness and anxiety or having difficulties in relationships, work, school, parenting, and varying life-stage transitions. In this safe, supportive and warm environment we will work together to help you feel better while also understanding what is causing your distress.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Addiction Specialist with over 25 years of experience in the field. Through a cognitive behavioral treatment approach I provide my patients with a safe, trusting and comfortable environment that allows them the space to reflect, process and strategize ways to enhance their lives to live to their fullest potential. I currently serve on the faculty of the NYU Graduate School of Social Work as a Clinical Professor and advisor, and also provide clinical supervision to those clinicians seeking NYS licensure. I also work very closely with the NYC based court system.

Dr. Jerry Surasky is an experienced, well-trained and gifted psychotherapist. He has been practicing for over 35 years, has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and a certificate in Psychoanalysis. His specialty, as he likes to say, is human beings. His style is direct, open and honest. He offers a therapeutic relationship, a safe environment and a flexible approach to facilitate personal growth, symptom reduction and personality change. He is also a talented and nurturing teacher and supervisor .

My extensive experience and attuned, empathetic, approach helps guide our conversation, and inquiry to quickly identify and clarify issues that cause stress, vague feelings of unease, work and relational issues. Our first consultation should help you both put in words, and define a strategy that may begin to clarify and solve long standing problems. I have experience working with problems that overlap with high stress work environments, coaching and interpersonal work issues. My 40 year experience as a couple therapist allows me to quickly define the relationship conflict and facilitate the dialogue between the partners.

My practice offers a safe and relaxing space to begin the psychotherapeutic journey. As a college professor and clinician for many years I offer a wide range of therapeutic approaches that go beyond talk therapy: such as mindfulness practice, mind/body awareness skills, and other psycho-educational practices. I think that good clinical treatment resides in the therapeutic relationship informed by the latest research on the brain and the gut and an overall multi-modal approach to the person(s) sitting across from me.

Are you exploring your gender, sexuality, alternative sexual practices and/or relationship dynamics? Have you tried to heal from your past trauma and been unable to feel more embodied and liberated? Do you find yourself feeling hopeless that you will ever find a sense of belonging or connection with others because your way of engaging in the world or an identity you possess is labeled as “other”? Would you like to live life with greater authenticity, self-compassion, empathy, and self-confidence? Are you looking to dismantle internalized oppression or privilege to be a more accountable partner in creating a more just society?

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.

I am a NY, NJ, and CT licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. I was born and raised in Ireland and received my BA in Psychology from University College Dublin. After coming to the US, I received both my MSW and Ph.D. from Columbia University School of Social Work. I am trained in CBT and DBT, both evidence-based approaches to the treatment of a range of mental health concerns. These therapeutic approaches provide flexible frameworks through which to view presenting issues and are practical and skill-based which allow for gains to be carried forward long after therapy has finished.

I can probably help you, especially if your concerns relate to relationships or sex or gender. I work with individuals and couples, and I have advanced training in treating sexual dysfunctions, sexual and other addictions, and in working with trauma and survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I was a clinical supervisor of graduate students at NYU and I presently supervise therapists in my private practice. I am on the faculty of the Harlem Family Institute , and I also mediate divorces and family or business disputes. I co-authored "The Divorce Mediation Answer Book".

What makes an authentic life? How do we create a meaningful existence, while making our way through the unexpected twists and turns in our path? As an engaged and compassionate psychotherapist, I will companion you in navigating major life transitions, relationships, identity issues, family, career conflicts or creative blocks. We will identify and shift long-standing patterns that no longer serve growth, while working together to reduce symptoms that prevent you from living a fulfilling life. Disruptive patterns and symptoms also carry the seeds for change if we listen carefully and connect with their deeper currents of meaning.

Find all your relationship questions answered. Psychotherapy is a relationship therapy, where you can find help and guidance in a safe and accepting atmosphere. Whether it's a relationship with others or ourselves, it's always complex; often complicated and confusing due to our past and present experiences. My approach is tailored to your specific needs and we will work at your pace. My style has been described as warm, non-judgmental, engaged, easy to talk to. Working together, I will help you find the answers you are looking for and help you make the positive changes.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in working with adults from a mindfulness based perspective. I believe that therapy can help you make meaning of pain, struggle and confusion in order to let go of suffering and find purpose in all the phases of life. Every moment of pain presents an opportunity for growth into deeper self-awareness, enhanced relationship intimacy and life fulfillment. I integrate concepts from psychodynamic, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy and the major meditative traditions to address your individual needs.

I am an institute trained psychotherapist, working integratively, within a contemporary, relational, psychodynamic orientation. After more than two decades of practicing in New York City, I am now located in Western Massachusetts, though I maintain NY licensure. For me, at the heart of a relational, psychodynamic, approach is my effort to strive to meet people where they are and make the work understandable and accessible based on who you are. I respect and build upon the ways in which I am invited to join and help expand psychic space, so that areas which are troubling can be demystified, transformed and feel less daunting.
