Grief Therapists in Morningside Heights, New York, NY

Making the decision to seek help is not always an easy one. Following through can be even harder. Am I making the right choice? Can I trust this person? How can they possibly help me? Whether you are going through a life transition, grieving a loss, or struggling with depressive or anxious symptoms know you are not alone. Maybe you are struggling with addiction or someone you love is struggling with addiction. Often times we just don't know what the issue is other than something doesn't feel right and I just don't know what to do or where to turn.

How do you find the right therapist? Education and training is important, but at least as important is finding a therapist with whom you can truly be yourself. I've been told by my patients that the reasons they value therapy with me are that I'm easy to talk to, I really listen, and I'm interactive. They say I "get" them, which helps to develop trust and safety. It can be difficult to talk about your personal struggles with someone you don't know. My warm, calm and non-judgmental nature makes it a little bit easier. I have 30 years of experience, deep empathy and a sense of humor.

As a former hospice bereavement coordinator with grief training from David Kessler, I can help bring hope to misery. I provide a safe place to feel heard and validated as you walk through an overwhelming maze of pain. You'll learn that you're not doing anything wrong; grief is hard! Instead of simply medicating the pain, we will do real work to address and heal from long-buried conflicts and new heartaches, moving toward a deeper and more lasting wellness. We'll learn that joy and happiness can exist right beside grief, and we'll discover tools to maintain connection to your loved one while learning how to honor them.

Hello, my name is Dr. Keoshia Worthy and thank you for visiting my profile. The question that I am frequently asked is, “How do I know if I need therapy?” I like to approach that question by considering the common misconceptions and benefits of therapy. Therapy is not just for people with mental illnesses, someone grieving a loss, or someone who experienced a trauma. Therapy is for anyone, even the well-adjusted person. I believe the benefits from therapy are vast and vary from person to person. For example, therapy can reduce stress, improve relationships, and help with decision-making.

Are you feeling stuck in an emotional quandary? Not sure how to take the next step? Are you stressed at work or in your relationship, or because you don't have a relationship? Do you experience parenting/child issues? I use an active interpersonal approach to identify and resolve behavior that inhibits change and growth. I work collaboratively and interactively which allows one to find their voice and formulate a plan for change. I view my role as helping one access their ability to be self-determined. As an artist I am interested in, and value, creativity in everyone.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. My special strength is connecting to clients and helping them to feel comfortable and understood.

Let’s be curious about you, your life and your past. I work with empathy, attunement as well as humor. My training is psychoanalytic, relational and adjustable to your needs.

You are a unique individual and as you deeply understand yourself without judgement you will become more comfortable in the world.

Emotional distress is too often pathologized when it's a reasonable response to the oppressive systems in which we live. Instead of trying to "fix" you or help you not feel any difficult emotions, I believe that all feelings have information, and we have the power to find out what that information is and choose what to do with it. I would aim to support you in strengthening your capacity to feel difficult feelings, to treat all parts of you with curiosity and compassion, and to determine what information your feelings are holding so that you can feel more connected to yourself and make choices that align with your values.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Individuals, couples, families, children and groups are treated. Initially, I view the family through the individual with the goal of treating the family as the patient. I encourage the individual to accept the belief that we can do nothing constructive by ourselves. Everyone needs help. "No one can do anything that yields positive results alone."

I have a lot of experience working with individuals and couples. I specialize in working on relationship problems, on individual and intergenerational trauma, and on depression and anxiety. In addition, I am sensitive to issues related to immigration, and to racial, cultural, mixed race and bicultural identity. I also work with individuals and couples to process losses due to the death or suicide of loved ones, or to infertility and divorce.

Do you feel as though the intensity of your emotions overwhelm you? Maybe you're often anxious throughout the day? Are you incredibly aware of the "why" behind your thoughts and actions, yet still haven't successfully created lasting change? Or, maybe you're doing "all the right things," but are wondering why you still feel so numb? If any of these experiences resonated with you, you're not alone. I am specially trained to support anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship stress. Together we are a team. Using evidence-based, cognitive-behavioral therapies and mind-body tools, you can heal, change and create the life you desire.

I offer clients an opportunity to find their truth and understand different perspectives while managing their day-to-day by utilizing healthy coping strategies that suit their lifestyles. In my training and experience, I have learned to serve as an active listener, understand different perspectives, support individuals with reframes, identify themes/patterns of behavior, and recognize the noble intent to shift one's perspective and behavior.

I work from a strengths-based perspective with the belief that we all possess unique skills and abilities that can help us transcend painful circumstances, leading us to a recognition of the richness and meaning that is possible in our lives. I have worked extensively with individuals (from college age to older adulthood) and couples dealing with mental health issues such as depression; anxiety; trauma; problems in relationships; substance abuse; and bipolar disorder. I formerly specialized in psychotherapy with older adults at UCLA Health in LA for almost 10 years before moving to NYC in 2023. Now licensed in NY, NJ, CA, and MA.

I am dedicated to fostering a safe environment where the therapeutic alliance flourishes, striving towards inclusive healing and guiding clients on a journey of self-actualization.

I believe that the client's experience, both in and out of the therapy room, is most important in a helping relationship. When working with me, you can expect an active and caring therapeutic approach that is centered around exploration and collaboration. I incorporate both cognitive and emotion focused approaches in my work and help you to examine patterns, behaviors, and processes that may no longer be useful. I also specialize in couples therapy and use a process oriented approach that is focused on understanding communication patterns, increasing emotional harmony, and overall relational satisfaction.
