Self Esteem Therapists in Midtown, New York, NY

Amidst the chaos and pressure of living in the city, life can get challenging. Whether you are looking to work through existing challenges or feel compelled to move in a new direction, I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to do it alone. It might be tempting to just figure things out yourself so that you don't appear "weak" or burden other people especially if it has worked for you in the past but there’s another way! I help high achievers overcome perfectionism that have led to burnout, chronic fear, and feeling like they’ll never be or have enough.

Are you struggling with interpersonal relationships and in your professional life? Do you find yourself repeating past patterns and behaviors that contribute to feelings of low self esteem ? I can help you. Together we will explore what gets in the way of your leading a more authentic and meaningful life. My approach is interactive and collaborative. I view each person as a unique individual with his/her own innate strengths and a potential for self-actualization and therapy is tailored accordingly.

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.

I believe that safety, creativity and collaborative give-and-take are the crucial ingredients for a successful therapy experience. This enables the patient to look at past and present difficulties within the context of a new and potentially transformative relationship. I work to create an environment where patients can get to know and tolerate knowing many parts of themselves. I approach this task with sensitivity, curiosity, humor and warmth.

Do you want to be supported as you undertake the vital and very human project of exploring and growing? I am a white, queer, gender-expansive native West Coaster who’s called NYC home for more than 20 years. A background in writing and theater has given me a deep interest in the human experience and the ways we endeavor to become our best selves. I was drawn to therapy in order to support people in discovering and using their strengths to reach that goal. I also provide an affirming space for LGBTQ+ folks to gain renewed self-compassion and authenticity by better understanding how negative messaging might impact your sense of self.

I believe that the therapeutic journey is one that begins with stepping out of one's comfort zone and welcoming change. I make diligent efforts to create a safe space for my clients to openly talk about vulnerable issues. I work hard to build a strong alliance with my clients as well as a space that reflects my nonjudgmental and supportive stance. I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, adjustment disorders, and suicidal ideation. I also provide therapy for issues that relate to family conflict, divorce, and self-esteem.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious in relationships? Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating old behaviors? Are you battling internal voices that say you aren’t good enough? My practice focuses on adults dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, childhood trauma, and relationship issues - including dating and negotiating forms of consensual non-monogamy.

I am a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist; former faculty at Dartmouth Medical School and Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Frankel, a Columbia graduate, expertly and sensitively addresses the challenges people face, enabling increased confidence. I am a frequently requested presenter at local and national conferences, published in peer reviewed journals, and an expert for legal cases.

As a therapist, I believe in a holistic approach to treatment that not only focuses on the psychological, but also on the physical, socio-economic, religious, and spiritual factors in one’s life. I have experience working with pediatric, adult, and geriatric clients from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. My clients often seek guidance in managing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship conflicts. By setting both short and long-term goals, we work together to not only address these issues, but to improve your overall quality of life.

It’s normal for individuals and couples to encounter struggles. Perhaps you've gone as far as you can trying on your own to resolve personal or marital distress without resolution. Your coping strategies are not working, and too often you feel distressed. You can choose to be proactive and get resourced by a professional counseling so that you can start on your journey toward change. I’m also able to integrate a Christian perspective for those on a faith-based journey. We can exclude this approach for those not ascribing to any particular spiritual orientation, I'll apply sound clinical expertise in a spirit of warmth and care.
