Therapists in Midtown East, New York, NY

My approach is to help you feel better in a short time. I use Cognitive Therapy. The way you feel depends on how you see a situation. If you are anxious or depressed, you have symptoms, so you don't see things realistically. So often, you can feel anxious when the event you are afraid of never happens.The therapy consists of teaching you a set of skills that allows you to see the thoughts that underlie your feelings and neutralize the ones that are not realistic.The result is that you feel better in a short time.

No one should suffer from unnecessary psychological distress. I specialize in "mindfulness" and cognitive-behavior therapy for children, adolescents and adults. I have been practicing for more than twenty years and have helped many people achieve life goals that had previously seemed out of their reach. I am fortunate that I love what I do. This is evident in my dedication to my clients. Their legacies are my rewards. My therapeutic approach enables me to positively impact individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessions/ compulsions, phobias, post traumatic stress, dysregulated moods and delusional thinking.

There are times when life changes can occur without a formal "heads up" and whether it's starting a new career path, beginning / completing school, or becoming a parent, such transitions can oftentimes feel daunting, without the proper support. I can help you ride that wave and together we can find a healthy balance in welcoming change.

You find yourself constantly feeling worried, anxious, maybe even self-critical. These feelings are now spilling over into your everyday life, affecting your relationships and muddying any clarity that you might have had about where you want to be. You're struggling with indecisiveness or having a really difficult time dealing with everyday stressors. Your mind and body's reactions make situations feel unmanageable. You want to alleviate your anxieties, become empowered and make changes that need to improve your life. But where do you start?

Are you having a tough time getting back to "normal"? The pandemic has entrenched ways of relating that may feel a far cry from the "you" you knew. Too much social distance and too much closeness in shared living/working spaces have created unprecedented challenges in relationships. Learning the skills to address stuck places of distress and finding the courage to repair wounds is crucial to your emotional well-being. Trained in the traditions of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychoanalysis, I will help you become a more effective (and affective) influencer of your personal and professional ties.

My goal as a clinician is to help you feel free. In treatment, I will invite you to bring your whole self into the room, as you are. Together, we will work to identify the ways in which you feel stuck and shift unhealthy patterns that keep you from moving forward. Whether it be for an acute issue or chronic stress, for symptom management or general exploration, I will help you both accept your authentic self and also courageously change that which no longer serves you. Through this process, I believe you will begin to better know who you are, identify what you want, and live a richer, more meaningful life.

I have learned the "connection" we make in therapy will lead to fruitful change. We begin by working on very specific concerns, to the more elusive, abstract conflicts of a more esoteric life that aren't so simple to characterize. Everyone comes to therapy with different hopes, unique needs, and a desire to seek what is transformational. I work to create a trusting relationship with all of my patients. In the initial sessions, I focus on what brings you to therapy at this moment in time and to establish a working rapport where you feel safe and listened to, without judgement. Therapy is a unique opportunity to find your voice,

When we are dealing with mental health issues, we can feel like we’re doing everything we know how to do but our lives are still unbearable. This can be incredibly frustrating and discouraging - we are in great pain and see no way to make things better. Sometimes we do things that alienate people we care about or act in ways that make our situations worse. Sometimes the pain feels so intolerable that we feel like it might be better to not be here. Or maybe we just feel like we are not leading the life we want to live but don't know how to get there.

Seeking help is the first step in creating real change in your life. I believe that change is possible, and that therapy can lead to a greater sense of freedom and creativity, as you work through old patterns that keep you stuck.Together we will explore the underlying dynamics of your life choices and relationships - including those in your family of origin - with the goal of deep and lasting transformation. In my experience, therapy can foster healing of even longstanding personality and relationship issues, so you can move forward with a new sense of hope.

It is my belief that mental illness and addiction can be treated successfully when a therapist and client have an active, open, and trusting, collaborative relationship. Sometimes an individual who is suffering needs to believe that there are solutions available for them and the chance to change. I have extensive training in working clinically with adolescents, young adults, and adults suffering from depression, anxiety, job burnout, addiction, or painful life transitions. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist and am extremely focused on helping my clients find solutions for their current problems.

My approach to treatment is intended to help you bridge the gap between how things are and how you want them to be. My aim is to help us both develop a deep understanding of what feels most urgent for you now, as well as what patterns from the past may be complicating your ability to live a full and satisfying life. With an increased capacity for self-reflection, you will feel you have more choice when it comes to dealing with obstacles and a greater ability to make the positive changes you desire.

Sometimes, despite your best efforts to deal with the inevitable challenges of life you feel stuck and unable to achieve what you set out to accomplish. Your usual ways of coping are not working or may be getting in the way. Seeking help from a highly trained and experienced psychotherapist is an important first step. Psychotherapy may help you clarify the unsuccessful patterns you engage in, become aware of the past and present sources that keep these patterns in place, and identify your internal resources to overcome the obstacles that block you from achieving the growth and lasting change you seek.

Are you a college student or young adult experiencing troubles with life changes, COVID stressors, or relationship conflict? Experiencing constant worries or general feelings of sadness? Are you an adult in recovery from drug or alcohol use? A family member of someone who uses drugs or alcohol? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, I have experience working with people who are similar to you. Your experiences and story matter and I am here to listen. I always tell clients that my job is to help you to help yourself.

I view psychotherapy as an opportunity to reach intellectual, emotional, and spiritual balance. Through uncovering the barriers that prevent us from reaching our potential we can become our true self. Psychotherapy can allow us to gain insight into a better understanding of ourselves and others, can teach us how to deal with and express emotions. It is a process that can enable us to learn new, more constructive ways of dealing with difficulties, and more enjoyable ways relating to others and ourselves. It is a way to uncover clarity of our past, present, and future which can lead to wisdom of oneself and life and peace of mind.
