Therapists in Murray Hill, New York, NY

I specialize in treating anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using exposure and response prevention (ERP) and other Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods. I am a compassionate interactive psychologist and understand that starting therapy can be challenging. I am here to help you reach your valued life goals and begin to live a more fulfilling life. I have extensive experience in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Health Anxiety, and Panic Disorder. My work frequently addresses mood, relationship, personality issues, and general well being improvement.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience providing individual therapy to adolescents and adults. I strive to create a supportive and empathetic environment, so that you can feel as comfortable as possible navigating life stressors. I am here to help and guide you towards making positive life changes and reaching your goals.

Asking for help is not easy, so congratulations on taking the first step toward self-improvement and fulfillment. Through our partnership, I hope to help you better understand yourself in terms of how you function in your personal relationships, and help you see patterns that may be causing distress. My style is one that primarily focuses on empathy and insight. Though talking about issues that come up in therapy may initially be difficult, with time you will notice you are seeing yourself in a new light, and that you are able to accomplish positive change.

Change may seem impossible, especially if you feel overwhelmed or discouraged. Perhaps you’ve tried to change a habit in the past, only to quit after just a few days. Contrary to the self-critical thoughts you have, you are not lazy or unmotivated --and you are definitely not alone. If you feel ready to take the steps, but don’t know where to start, I can help you get unstuck. I work with clients who want to replace unwanted habits or behaviors. Examples include: emotional eating, smoking cessation, recurring negative thoughts leading to self-esteem issues, and more.

Live life on your terms! Whether you're a Millennial, facing early life transitions or you're older and questioning your next act, step away from the expected to design your own unique life. Let's define your values and beliefs to create an authentic life that is worth living. I've had the privilege of helping smart, successful clients explore and discover their life purpose. Together, we redefined and strengthened personal boundaries, set aside lackluster careers and relationships, and made some life affirming changes!

I believe that therapy should not be a mysterious process. A client should should have a sense of the direction, the framework, and the goals. I am a therapist who is active and engaged. I believe in providing feedback and sharing my thoughts and opinions. In other words, I do not want to sit back and only nod my head. I will provide direction to help you. We'll work together in a non-judgmental and safe environment with active and honest communication.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in psychotherapy with adults, couples and families in English and Spanish. I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals dealing with important issues and transitions in their lives, who often struggle with feelings of depression, anxiety or worries. Some of my clients seek to make sense of traumatic experiences and to come to terms with painful and uncomfortable emotions. Many struggle with identity and self-esteem issues. I am committed to providing a comfortable and confidential atmosphere where trust and a sense of safety can be developed over time.

I believe that using evidence-based techniques in a compassionate therapeutic relationship is the key to successful treatment. My work with my clients is grounded in empathy and connection while helping individuals gain insight into their struggles. As your therapist, I will help you to learn how to reduce the impact and influence of painful thoughts and feelings while taking action to build a life that is full and meaningful. You will also learn how to implement new techniques and skills and, ultimately, how to be your own therapist.

I work well with people interested in learning holistic, creative approaches for moving through difficult emotions, finding balance in life, and living in concert with one's most authentic self and values. I teach practices to better manage the stress, anxiety, disappointment and sadness that arise in every day living, as well as the unexpected challenges along the way - especially these most challenging times we are collectively facing. I also enjoy helping people find the story of their lives - making sense of where they've come from by shaping coherent narratives, and developing more compassion for themselves in the process.

I aspire to create a space that is welcoming, safe and comfortable. My style is non-judgmental, empathic and introspective. My goal is to help you learn about yourself and how you relate to others so that you can make positive improvements that are lasting. Therapy can be challenging; but my belief is that through this meaningful work you will develop a deeper sense of self and awareness of strengths that may have gone undiscovered to this point. In therapy, issues to be resolved will be addressed with the idea that self-awareness leads to choice, responsibility and change.

If you're feeling burnt out, stuck, or hopeless, I want you to know that there is support available to you. I will work with you to break free from patterns that feel unhelpful or hurtful by utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) in a collaborative approach. I will assist you in finding empowerment within yourself and your life. I am LGBTQIA-friendly and work with adults of all ages who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, impulsivity, or relationship issues. 

Do you feel sad and immobilized much of the time? Feel better regularly and move forward on your goals. Do you feel anxious and full of stress much of the time? Feel more at ease in every situation and free yourself from fear. Are your relationships characterized by too much conflict, lack of understanding, or not enough intimacy and communication? Start forming better relationships now and replace conflict with harmony.

You are on a personal journey to heal, grow, and discover. My intention is to help you understand your journey and empower you to make the healthy changes you are seeking. Consider me an ally as well as your therapist. We will work together to identify and develop insightful and practical tools that can help you reach your unique goals. I have eight years post-master's experience working in the realm of human rights, trauma recovery and healing. I have worked with diverse client populations. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and affirming therapeutic space that values the dignity and worth of every person.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or helpless? In today’s world of unpredictability and instability, you are not alone. Making the decision to see a therapist can be a difficult one. Choosing a therapist who is right for you can be even harder. I strive to make this process as smooth as possible. I believe everyone is the expert of their own life and my role is to help guide your inner expert to find clarity. My treatment focus includes but is not limited to depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and relationship issues. Together, we can face these challenges.

Sometimes, life just feels difficult. Change, stress, anxiety, and depression feel overwhelming and all too familiar. This can affect all areas of your life: relationships, career, and self esteem. My specialty is helping people who are feeling "stuck" or are moving through significant life transitions. In working with me, you will find a safe, supportive, inviting environment to share and navigate your frustrations. Together, we will explore who you are and who you want to be, and develop a plan to provide you with the skills to get there.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, certified Gestalt therapist, and a visiting faculty at a post-graduate psychotherapy training institute. I practice from a body-oriented relational and culturally sensitive approach, specializing in working with survivors of dysfunctional upbringing, acute and chronic trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues.

When life gets taken over by anxiety, addiction, depression, jealousy, frustration, or anger, it can be hard to know what to do. You’ve started feeling so bad that your relationships, work, and daily life are impaired, and nothing you've tried has worked long-term. As a clinical psychologist extensively trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I have seen countless clients improve over the years with these techniques. I have helped clients meet their goals with anxiety, anger management, addiction, weight, depression, loneliness, relationships, attention concerns, career challenges, obsessions, and compulsions.

Difficult life experiences, whether they happen once or are ongoing, can leave us feeling isolated and disconnected, both from others, and from ourselves. It can be hard to find pleasure in relationships, hobbies, families, or careers, or to even simply just "be" as we are. I view therapy first and foremost as a way to reconnect and be curious about ourselves; to find a place of safety, connectedness, and support from which we can begin to explore who we are, how we came to be, and where we want to go. As sessions progress, I aim to help you find resilience, movement, ease, stillness, or freedom, wherever you may need it.
