Therapists in Two Bridges, New York, NY

I work broadly with young adults who often have bicultural backgrounds and are experiencing personal issues with themselves, family or relationships. It is a difficult balancing act between you, those close to you and differing cultural norms. Finding autonomy when the expectations of others sometimes burdens us, can lead to feeling anxious, alone or depressed. You can lose yourself to these feelings at times, which is why 1-on-1 therapy is a healthy approach to process these emotions.Family and friends may suggest or want vastly different things than you. In therapy, I will listen while giving you the tools you need for your goals.

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10+ experience in providing trauma focused therapy in traditionally underserved communities. I am passionate about making mental health treatment accessible to people of color to address systemic trauma and create a safe space for my clients to reconnect to their core strengths.

After more than 35 years in practice, I have found that most clients need a combination of support, insight, and challenging interactions to help them grow and move past whatever obstacles they are facing. I work with individuals and couples on the most intimate aspects of their lives, including their sexuality, relationships, and life and death issues. My style is interactive, and employs uncovering family of origin dynamics, but also more practical, cognitive and behavioral methods to help make changes more quickly.

I work with men and women who are seemingly successful and happy but deep down inside feel lost, alone, even if they are in a relationship, and struggle to be present in life, or often feel like they don't belong. With expertise gathered from 20+ yrs of experience across borders, time zones and cultures, I dive alongside unique adults into the deep ocean of darkness— including all types of diversity, executive/high-profile/creative people, in-between/intersecting identities, and worldwide travelers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) certified, I was formerly a clinical supervisor/educator/psychologist at Johns Hopkins University.

I am a mental health counselor licensed in New York with about 8 years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. I also have about 20 years of law enforcement experience. I have experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns to include, depression, anxiety, attachment issues, substance abuse issues, anger management concerns, domestic violence issues and sexual addictions.

You’ve considered yourself a worrier in the past, but lately, your anxiety has gone to new levels. Maybe you’re second-guessing everything now and constantly thinking about what others may or may not be thinking. "Rest" seems like yet another impossible goal, just another thing to accomplish. Work isn’t helping, even though it used to be a great way to focus and feel purposeful. You’re noticing how easily you feel annoyed by your loved ones – your family, your significant other, and your close friends. They’re finding it hard to relate to you, and it seems like no one understands what you’re going through.

Inna primarily utilizes a specialized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) program, empowering her clients with coping skills to break down the artificial walls and boundaries that have formed throughout their lives. Her goal is to witness these individuals soar in the world, experiencing peace and joy. Additionally, she incorporates age regression techniques, exploring childhood events, and past life regression techniques to delve deep into their unconsciousness. These methods help uncover their true calling, talents, address traumas, and provide answers to the various challenges they face.

During my 35 years of professional experience in the field of psychology i worked with the small groups under extreme conditions in the expeditions, performed forensic psychological services in Russian prisons and research in the airport, provided counseling services in family psychology and maladaptation. In America my major focus for the past 15 years is on on individual and couple therapy

Therapy is an education: the subject is you. If you want to learn how to better deal with your life stresses, you may be ready to enroll. I have been practicing psychotherapy in Manhattan for 30 years. I work with individuals and couples dealing with depression, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and life transitions. I also perform psychological evaluations for potential participants in Donor Oocyte programs. I emphasize supportive and concrete psychotherapy techniques. I believe that together we can find solutions that will allow you to achieve greater fulfillment and peace through self-knowledge.

As a licensed and skilled family therapist, I offer services to individuals, couples, teens, children, and families. Based on my education, training, and life experiences I believe that the individual can be better understood through the context of their relationships (family, romantic, etc.). I believe it is more important to understand the meaning of emotions, versus whether they are right or wrong to feel.

My practice is geared toward mental health and behavioral changes. I am known for my kind, empathetic, laid back, and real approach with my clients and do my best to meet my clients where they are. I want to help my clients find their inner strength and to identify, work towards and reach their goals.

Are your relationships troubled and disappointing? Do your fears and worries get in the way of your being your most creative, productive self? Do you sometimes find yourself in the same situations or repeating behaviors over and over, and you don't know how to find your way out? Habitual ways of reacting and behaving often began as the means of coping with the stresses of childhood, but are no longer useful or appropriate. I would like to help you become "unstuck", become less anxious and worried, feel more comfortable with yourself and happier with your relationships and work.

Do you ever let your anxiety get in the way of achieving the joy or productivity you want? Do you feel stuck? We cannot change what we are not aware of, therefore exploring the roots of our suffering allows us to have the opportunity to create positive change in order to have a better future. I aim to help my patients find awareness of their own suffering and individual ways to lean into it in order to ultimately work on letting go of what is no longer serving them. I cater individually to each and every patient often honing in on strengths-based and solution-oriented perspectives.

Do you often have the sense you're not in charge of your own life? In overwhelm? I believe difficulties in living are a sign we've outgrown certain habits, behaviors or views. What may have helped us survive in the past doesn't help us flourish in the here and now. So, we find ourselves stuck - in a painful relationship, an unsatisfying job situation, or with unpleasant physical symptoms of anxiety or depression. Our suffering may be a great awakener, calling us out of the sleep of unconsciousness, asking us what it is we really want. I provide a sensitive, warm spaciousness that invites your whole self to address that question.

If you, or someone you love, are struggling with substance abuse, past trauma, relationship or communication setbacks, or anxiety and/or depression, it can be overwhelming to fight these feelings alone.

I believe that treatment is most effective when the individual seeking therapy is willing to delve not only her/his conscious but unconscious thoughts and feelings. One must be as honest as possible and collaborate with me to determine what is helpful to him and what is not helpful. Psychotherapy is a process, often a long process. A willingness to persevere, in spite of difficult sessions and periods, is critical. Change is hard.

I am a licensed therapist and work in a collaborative effort with each person to help foster insight, deeper understanding, and relief from suffering. I have experience helping people alleviate depression and anxiety, improve relationships, resolve career related conflicts, and increase self awareness. I have found that with the support of a therapist whom they can trust, people often have the courage to make changes in their lives to feel more fulfilled.

We are none of us just one thing. I bring my experiences as a woman, a bilingual emigrant with a multicultural inheritance, a dancer, and a seasoned psychotherapist to my work with clients. My appreciation of multiple roles, allegiances, and identities held in harmony and in tension with one another enriches my understanding of the people who choose to work with me. I know how hard life in the city can be. I know too how transformative it can be, to be truly heard and understood in all one’s complexity.
