Somatic Therapists in Midtown, New York, NY

People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. When I initially meet with people and ask "what brings you in?" they often say "I'm feeling stuck, stressed, angry, in my head, can't sleep, or having trouble with relationships." If you've been feeling any of these things, you're not alone and I commend you for even considering therapy. It's not an easy step to take, but one that's well worth it because things can get better. I'm a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with people who face challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, addiction, and attention and concentration.

I engage in genuine empathic relationships with my clients in order to provide a safe foundation for the collaborative and challenging process of psychotherapy. Our work together focuses on understanding and working through difficult feelings and powerful beliefs which are leaving them feeling stuck. I enjoy helping clients reconnect with their inner resources and creativity in order to engage more fully in relationships and work.

Do you want to work with someone with an artistic background who brings a playful spirit to their somatic-based approach? I am a queer artist from Kansas City, who now calls Bushwick home. I had a therapist many years ago who introduced me to queer-affirmative therapy and it made me realize that having a queer therapist with a shared lived experience and identity allowed me to lean into the therapy without the fear of being judged or having to explain myself. This newfound chapter in my journey as a client motivated me to make the investment into training so that I could provide the same for others as a therapist.

If you're wrestling with challenging relationships, rollercoaster emotions, self-identity, self-love, or reclaiming comfort in your body post-trauma, know that you're not alone. My team specializes in guiding individuals through these struggles, helping you be present and equipped to handle life's curveballs. Together, we'll uncover and amplify your strengths, crafting personalized tools to navigate your thoughts and emotions. Our focus is on empowering you to live authentically, especially if you've experienced trauma be it physical, emotional, sexual, spiritual, or racial. Reach out, and let's embark on this journey of healing.

I am a clin. psychologist, psychotherapist, clin. hypnotherapist, coach, marriage/couple and sex therapist, psychedelic-assisted therapist, and systemic family constellations therapist. I have a large international clientele and 25+ years of professional experience with various techniques of psychotherapy, couples therapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, somatic (body-mind) therapies, trauma-focused therapy and psychedelic psychotherapies (ketamine, cannabis, etc.). I provide clin. supervision to professional psychotherapists, counselors and psychotherapy interns. For more information, please, check out my website: www.drannafekete.com

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and find yourself hitting a plateau? Are you experiencing trauma and PTSD due to a break-up, divorce, grief, sexual addiction, infidelity, love addiction, or sexual abuse and wonder if relief will ever be available to you? Perhaps you're curious if the growing field of psychedelic-assisted therapy could help you find the change you are seeking. If so, you've come to the right place. I specialize in helping people find the breakthroughs they desire through an eclectic approach, including trauma-based therapy, somatic parts work, and psychedelic assisted therapy (currently utilizing ketamine).

I work from a trauma-focused, strengths-based somatic and relational perspective to help you release shame via self-compassion. I view even the coping mechanisms that make us feel the most stuck as examples of our bodies’ incredible resiliency & drive to keep us safe. Within the therapeutic dynamic, I seek to help you identify and unlearn harmful cultural conditioning and, with the courage of authenticity, uncover your own innate wisdom. To me, therapy is a place where we can explore creative self-expression and practice intentional relationship building in order to live more authentic, joyful, and embodied lives.

As an experienced psychotherapist with over two decades of dedicated practice, I bring a wealth of expertise to my work with individuals, couples, and families. Throughout my journey in the mental health field, my commitment has been steadfast in helping clients navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and resilience. From supporting individuals grappling with depression and anxiety to assisting couples in navigating relationship struggles and fertility issues, I deeply appreciate the unique journeys and struggles each client brings into the therapy room.

Welcome! For over 15 years I have supported adults with borderline personality disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, self harm, suicidality, emotional dysregulation, addiction and eating disorders. I am passionate about helping clients like you experience both symptom relief and true healing through therapy tailored to your unique needs. Using dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic therapy, we work together to develop strategies to build your "life worth living" and find true healing from the misery caused by complex trauma.

You deserve to be in community with people who support and uplift you. Far too often, people are judged by many mental health professionals. As a black queer non-binary therapist, my ultimate goal is to support you. I have extensive experience providing psychotherapy to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, and allies. I can be particularly helpful in helping you develop more self-acceptance, more insight, and teach you different tools to support your mental health and wellbeing. Let’s collaborate together and find what works best for you.

Sometimes, coping can become exhausting and dull. Maybe what you have been doing is not working anymore, or you are looking for a place to start. When you are overwhelmed with issues of anxiety, struggling in your interpersonal relationships, or with your own identity and sexuality, with no relief, it is time to try something different. I believe so much of the therapeutic process finds success through connection and self-awareness. I aim to co-create a comfortable and open space to explore these challenges and to honor and support you in your decision to prioritize your mental health.

Life happens and challenges come up. Maybe it's old stuff; issues from childhood that are having an impact now or a traumatic event that has not healed. Maybe it's brand new; grieving the loss of a relationship or struggling as a new mother. Maybe there is a feeling of being stuck and needing guidance and support to find a new way. My approach blends traditional psychotherapy with Somatic Experiencing and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), to resolve current stress, release long-standing emotional and behavioral patterns and develop tools to use outside of therapy.

Are you going through a life transition and find yourself feeling immobilized or overwhelmed? Are anxious or intrusive thoughts preventing you from staying fully present in your life and with the people you love? The good news is that things can absolutely get better. I work with adults confronting anxiety, depression, adjustment, trauma, and relationship struggles. I have a passion for perinatal mental health including fertility journeys, birth trauma, and postpartum struggles, and love working with parents to explore and discover the ways that raising children can deepen our understanding of our own patterns and inner history.

I strongly believe in the power of human connection and in being present for my clients. In a non-judgemental supportive environment, I can help my clients find their own strength and ability to identify the best way for a more fulfilling life and/or resolve challenging life situations. I believe it is the trusting therapeutic rapport along with my active participation that makes my clients feel safe to evaluate their own quality of life and move forward to a more positive fulfilling place in their lives. My clients include adolescents, families, couples and adult individuals.

Are you tired of feeling anxious, exhausted, and burned out? Do you long for a therapist that understands your cultural dynamics and related traumas? Have you been feeling riddled with grief? I believe that inside of you is your best potential waiting to be revealed to you. We are first humans before the labels society has given us and I believe we have to first expose our triumphs and ask for help before we can heal our souls. I am a compassionate person who understands the importance of not only feeling heard, but also not being judged. I use a combined therapeutic approach that is tailored and customized to each of my clients.

Are you on a journey towards greater self-awareness and fulfillment? Do you long for more meaningful and stronger connections? No matter what brings you to therapy- be it challenges with self-esteem, navigating stress, battling anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, addressing relationship dilemmas, workplace struggles, or simply the pursuit of happiness- I am here to support you. Together, we will identify the barriers that stand in your path and cultivate strategies and skills to better manage and overcome. My priority is establish a strong foundation of trust so you feel safe as we work to create the life you dream of.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community and a queer therapist, I believe that therapy is different for every individual. My passion for understanding people and relationships has always been driven by curiosity. I primarily work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples and have experience working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. As a career changer, my previous career in advertising and fashion informs my extensive experience working with clients in the performing arts and other creative fields.

I'm a therapist that specializes in trauma, C-PTSD and attachment wounding. I utilize a modern, integrative approach to help clients address and process how the trauma and painful events they've been through have negatively impacted their relationship to themselves and others. It can produce a lot of chronic stress and shame to act out this wounding unconsciously and I hope to create a therapeutic relationship that feels safe and resilient enough to explore these sensitive areas of our psyche. Through this work, we can help you quiet the chaos that arises when confronted with our social and emotional triggers.

It takes strength and bravery to let others witness our suffering and I will honor that in our work together. I want to assist you in this journey by use of empathy, compassion, attunement and humor. I will help you to embrace your current state while also teaching you how to navigate, contain and process feelings. The focus of my work is to empower you to be the best version of yourself.
