Cancer Therapists in Midtown, New York, NY

I work with individuals and couples who are courageously facing the desire to improve the quality of their lives. An area of recent primary interest in my practice has been my work with people who are looking to improve their ability to self-regulate when emotionally challenged. It has been my experience that mental health therapy (talk therapy) is beneficial at any stage of life. In addition to my counseling credentials, I am a master-level yoga instructor and have worked with individuals who have been diagnosed with/living with cancer , Parkinson's disease, MS, and other challenges to the overall wellness of body, mind, spirit.

Oftentimes, people just need someone to listen to them, to help them work through an issue, and sort out their feelings. That's where I come in as a licensed psychotherapist as well as a medical social worker. I'm skilled at hearing what people are saying and helping them to figure out strategies for improving their situation. I work with a variety of clients ---men, women and children from all sexualities, gender identities, and races to help them with all sorts of issues. My clientele ranges in ages; however, a majority of my clients are in their early 30's.

Throughout life, we all face many challenges...Maybe it's a painful break-up, being passed over for a promotion, a recent health event, or a traumatic experience from the past that you can't let go. As a clinical psychologist for over 30 years, I have successfully helped my clients gain insight into themselves so that they can change behavior, reconnect to their resilience and make significant improvements in their lives and relationships.I work with individuals, couples and families. I tailor treatment to the client because everyone has their own life circumstances, set of strengths and weakness, and agenda for therapy.

Hi there! I am a New York state licensed psychologist. In my practice I offer a compassionate space to support my patients in understanding and managing wide range of concerns including- anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, relationship concerns, sleep disorders and obesity. I am also trained in palliative care (end-of-life management) and psycho-oncology ( cancer management). Currently, I hold a faculty position in Psychiatry at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and I am a full-time staff Psychologist at the Bellevue Hospital Center.

I work with people who struggle with problems of living. Psychotherapy can address these struggles; it helps you better understand how you are troubled, identify what you want to change, explore why it is hard to change, and enable you to become more what you want to be. I also work with people who simply want to understand themselves better and enrich their lives.

I see cancer patients and their families across the cancer continuum, from diagnosis, treatment, to survivorship or recurrence and end of life. I am passionate about working with this patient group. Diagnosis and treatment of cancer is a major life stress. Cancer care today provides state of the art biomedical treatment but fails to address the psychological problems associated with the illness. Patients need support coping with a wide range of distressing emotions such as anxiety, depression and confusion. In today's managed care environment, busy outpatient clinics make it difficult for oncologists to provide psychosocial support for their patients.

My goal is to establish a collaborative relationship with the client directed toward wholeness and their personal growth and transformation. I strive to move away from the stigma and labeling that traditional abnormal psychology offers and focus on my client's strengths and mutually developed goals to help them reach their highest potential. Body-mind-spirit integration is my personal life foundation, and it is the core of my therapeutic approach. I provide individual and couples therapy for the issues of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life transitions, coping with stress, chronic illness, cancer , bereavement counseling, and many more.

Jasmine believes the therapeutic process is a unique, powerful, active, collaborative, and professional relationship that has the potential for individuals to feel a sense of safety, non judgment, validation, empowerment, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. She has a passion for the arts and social justice and utilizes an eclectic and creative approach of CBT, Mindfulness-based, Multicultural, & Feminist therapy that can help foster change, awareness, and growth.

I view challenges as opportunities for unprecedented growth, development, and enlightenment. As life twists and turns, it's easy to become disconnected from the things that matter most, even the most meaningful aspects of yourself. My approach to therapy is individualized and integrative, I work with you to learn who you are, why you suffer, and where your resilience lies. With this insight, you'll find freedom from regrets of the past, demands and conflicts of the present, and fear of the future. Together we'll draw upon your strengths and help you move through life with a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and authenticity.

People often seek therapy when feeling stuck: painfully alienated from what they desire, torn between conflicting impulses, and stuck with a version of themselves they find confusing and dissatisfying. Through careful listening and exploration, our work will help to illuminate how old wounds and ways of surviving have restricted your ability to feel, work, love, and even play freely. Moments of vulnerability in therapy can be opportunities to shut down, or they can be opportunities for introspection and transformation – I pay close attention to each patient’s needs, wishes, and fears to help steer you towards the latter outcome.

Are you feeling anxious, irritable and overwhelmed? Are you a new mom and don't feel connected to your baby? Are you a women in your 40's or 50's and having menopausal symptoms like irritability, low mood and fatigue? So many people feel like they have to "power through" symptoms of anxiety or depression--when there is treatment available. You don't deserve to feel this way.

I am a psychodynamic and relational therapist who believes that each person requires a unique approach and that a strong therapeutic relationship is the agent for creating lasting change in a person’s life. I have a passion for exploring a person’s past to help inform how one’s emotional state and behaviors are functioning in the present. I use an empathic lens to establish a trusting, safe space in which individuals can explore who they are and who they would like to become.

Choosing a mental health provider can feel daunting. I approach treatment with the philosophy that the foundation for positive change begins with a strong therapist-client relationship and that individuals can find meaning and thrive even amidst life’s most challenging chapters. I am experienced in treating adults with a range of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors such as relationship and work difficulties. I also specialize in helping clients and their loved ones cope with medical conditions such as pain, insomnia, and cancer , as well as other physical illnesses or disabilities.

I am a learning specialist in private practice with 30 years of experience. I offer individualized instruction to children and adults with learning difficulties, as well as customized enrichment to gifted children. I analyze, assess, and identify individual needs, and develop a cohesive Education Action Plan to put into action. My comprehensive and integrative approach bridges the disciplines of neuroscience and education. It is designed to optimize each student's individual strengths and address specific goals in a timely and dynamic way. I integrate information about specific workplace or educational settings with an appreciation for the individual client's learning style.

I offer support, compassion and understanding as we safely explore the fears, desires, dreams, actions and concerns that most weigh on you. Together we become aware of how formative relationships and institutions on which you depended may have overwhelmed, invalidated or failed you - how you've over-accommodated to these formative relationships such that you are not fully embodying the unique needs, desires and aspirations of your soul. We encourage the emergence of that person you most long to be - who can seek fulfillment, joy and passion and be able to more fully bear the pain and sorrows of your unique and authentic path.

I am committed to helping my patients understand and correct patterns that interfere with the realization of their personal and/or professional goals and living their life more fully. I treat individuals and couples and specialize in relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, addictions, life transitions, health concerns, unresolved trauma and parenting/step-parenting challenges. I also treat people who feel relatively sturdy and successful but are going through a period of notable stress when stretched beyond their capacity. I have a graduate degree from Columbia University and a four year postgraduate certification in psychoanalysis and comprehensive psychotherapy from the National Institute for the Psychotherapies.
