Therapists in Midtown, New York, NY

Are you looking to make meaningful change in life? I am a New York State licensed clinical psychologist specializing in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), helping clients achieve meaningful change in their lives. I have been intensively trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and offer comprehensive DBT treatment including both group and individual therapy. I work with adolescents and adults struggling with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety disorders, and substance use. Most importantly, I strive to foster a collaborative and active environment to help people create lives that are worth living.

My first priority in working with clients is to provide a unique space where they can feel safe to share all parts of themselves openly and honestly. I see the therapeutic alliance as the birthplace for growth and change. Therefore, developing a trusting, collaborative relationship is vital. To facilitate this, I encourage clients to feel free to discuss any material they want in session. Additionally, I frequently check-in and process clients’ feelings towards our working relationship to get a better sense of who they are, what works for them, and what is best suited to help them with the issues that brought them in therapy.

The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center (G&STC) is a psychotherapy group focusing on providing LGBTQ+, kink, and poly competent therapy. We offer therapy to individuals, couples, multi-partner relationships and families. Our goal is to offer a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering therapeutic space to the individuals and communities who often lack access to services, and are met with stigma, discrimination and micro-aggressions, even while in therapy.

"Our work-together can open doors". With my empathy, wisdom and knowledge, I can aspire and inspire change in you who are eagerly seeking and waiting. As a Psychotherapist, I am, first of all, an ally who provide support and a safe space to be. Then we go on a journey together: from an unawareness of the self, from superficial goals and aims towards an understanding of your individuality and to a state of centeredness-unified, integrated self.

Are you struggling with emotional issues that are getting in the way of your enjoyment of life and fed up with trying to do it alone? You may have been thinking about getting help for awhile now, or are responding to an immediate crisis and haven't yet found someone you trust to help you. With compassion, focus and humor, I work with you to create the positive changes you have been seeking. I work with individuals and with couples wanting to more out of life. I offer a sliding scale for select daytime sessions.

The stress of navigating your life through the demanding, ever changing, fast paced world of life and career in New York City can easily challenge your capacity to cope, to manage, to decide. Finding the right therapist/coach and making time to dedicate to seeking solution and gaining insight into your individual challenges can feel overwhelming. Over the past 14 years I have worked successfully with hundreds of women and men in finance, business, and the arts from an office centrally located within the Wall Street financial district of Manhattan. I provide a safe, confidential, comfortable and convenient environment.

I work well with clients seeking help with stress management, relationship issues, goal attainment, or issues related to emotion and self-esteem. My ideal clients are professionals who are seeking results. In addition to my work with clients, I also provide practice building tools for clinicians. Although I am currently on sabbatical from psychotherapy clients, I do oversee my associates, Amanda Pelcher, LMFT and Grayson Stadler, LCSW. You can have a free consultation with my office to learn more. Send us an email or give us a call so we may assist you further!

Therapy is a journey of healing, and one that does not have to be embarked on alone. Whether your path before reaching here, entailed experiencing stress, anxious thoughts, fear, trauma, or any discomfort you are eager to address, as a therapist I am passionate in supporting you in understanding the delicate pieces as they are and navigating the support tools to safely piece them all together.

We are all born with the capacity to connect and communicate. I am here to help facilitate both. It is not impossible to connect with your child or spouse, nor for them to connect with you! I am here to help couples work through their disconnect or communication issues, as well as to help teens and children with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, or low self-esteem. Each member will come together in the name of a common goal, learn new skills, and develop more adaptive behaviors that will allow happiness into the home.

Whether you need support dealing with a current situation or want to address a longstanding issue, I can help. Many of my clients enter therapy to work through depression and anxiety related to struggles with relationships, identity, loss and trauma. Others are seeking to achieve personal growth and reach their life goals. Psychotherapy offers a unique space where together, we work to identify, understand and resolve difficulties. By increasing awareness of their strengths and where they get stuck, clients gain clarity and insight into new solutions. Therapy with me provides lasting benefits: real change, peace of mind and new skills to take into the future.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. I have received extensive training in a range of empirically supported and cutting edge treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Relational Psychotherapy. As a result of my broad training, I use a combination of therapeutic techniques to increase both self awareness and insight as well as skill building and coping strategies. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a key component of treatment and aim to create a collaborative, open, and safe therapy environment.

We all have the capacity to heal, both ourselves and our relationships so that we may grow to our fullest potential. I have over thirty years of experience dedicated to facilitating that process. I provide a safe and nurturing environment as the foundation for any work we do. Together we will explore your past and present, helping you face and move beyond toxic memories, change old, dysfunctional patterns, and develop your strengths. You will learn to free yourself from stuck places and rediscover yourself in vital, new ways

It can be challenging to process all sorts of mixed emotions, as they wear you down in your personal and professional life. You may even begin to have self-doubts, struggling to move forward with your goals. The process of navigating these challenges on your own can be confusing, drowning, and overwhelming. I will work with you to build a collective space where we explore your concerns together, understand your emotions, and help you reestablish meaningful connections with others . I see therapy as interactions where you will be empowered to confront reality and appreciate yourself as a whole.

My style is interpersonal and believe that goals are met in the context of a therapeutic relationship based on empathy, insight and trust.
