Adults Therapists in Upper East Side, New York, NY

I have found, in my private practice, that people usually seek therapy when they are going through an extremely stressful time in their lives, feel increasingly depressed or anxious or feel dissatisfied with different aspects of their lives(relationships, career, life transitions). My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental atmosphere in which clients can express their feelings and gain insight into what led to their current state of mind or difficult situation.

Providing a safe and therapeutic setting, we will work to maintain or improve your quality of life. Because everyone is unique, I work collaboratively with my patients to help them get the most out of treatment and life. I offer both short-term (goal-oriented) and in-depth psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. Over the past 17 years, I have worked in numerous settings as a psychotherapist with adults and children in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Currently accepting new TELE-Health psychotherapy patients via phone or WhatsApp video for those engaged in social distancing or quarantined.

Hi, my name is Kim Dallas, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York State. I am a solution-focused therapist with over 19 years of experience which includes working in a community substance abuse clinic, as well as in a community mental health center, and providing teletherapy to children, adolescents, adults , and families. Typically, I work with adults who are experiencing symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.

In my practice, I address a wide range of needs and work with clients of all ages. I offer a personalized approach to therapy tailored to each client's individual needs. Together we can create insight into the events and transitions that have contributed to current life experiences, creating real and lasting change for the future. In our work together, I provide a warm and compassionate approach to create a non-judgmental space for self-exploration. My approach ranges from unstructured therapy addressing issues that come up in the moment to CBT tailored to a specific issue.

My goal is to help relieve your fearfulness, sadness, unresolved conflicts, uncertainty, stress, and self-esteem issues. My additional goals are to help you be more of your authentic self, and to realize your full potential. I work with adults only.

SLOW Down Just BREATHE - Make this your first step to effectively manage the challenges that confront you in your day to day life. In therapy, we will work together to confront your problems and improve the quality of your life. I have worked with adults , children, teens, and families with mood disorders, anger management, interpersonal conflicts, trauma, grief, adjustment issues including adjustment to medical conditions (acute and chronic), and employment related concerns.

In more than 25 years of practice, I have helped many people answer a basic question: What is at the root of behavioral patterns that cause them unhappiness and dissatisfaction? This is the first step in dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, fear, guilt, and relationship problems. I am an experienced psychotherapist who works with adults and couples. I'm psychoanalytically trained, and particularly equipped to help people identify those emotional difficulties which cause problems in life. Through our interactive work together, we can reach the goal of helping you live a happier, more satisfying and successful life.

I've been in private practice for 24 years as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and a psychoanalyst. My method aims at deep changes in the personality so that your troubling symptoms are relieved in a more permanent way. Often, you don't know why your life feels so unsatisfying,why relationships feel troubled or why you cannot seem to choose what will make you happy.Or there may be just a particular area of difficulty in a life that seems to be going rather well.

I have a passion for helping adults , teens, and children heal from trauma. Whether you're struggling with a complex trauma history or navigating through a stressful life event, I work alongside my clients to help them navigate challenging experiences, overwhelming emotions, and confusing relationship dynamics (in families or with partners). My clinical focus and passion is working with clients navigating intimate partner violence, family violence, sexual assault, abuse as a child, and other complex traumas. In recent years, I've also developed a specialty in working with parents of children with special needs.

As a psychotherapist, I provide a safe environment for reflection where discovering and exploring fixed patterns that hinder you from realizing goals can lead to awareness. We all have parts of ourselves that we do not understand and feel that we cannot change, often leaving us feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Telling your story and gaining deeper understanding of yourself can have transforming effects on your life. I work with patients facing problems in love, work, family, school, issues with self-esteem, identity, and trauma. My analytic training makes me a skilled and empathic listener, helping to identify themes that lead to insights and more choices.

We are all feeling pulled in multiple directions and struggle to manage it all. Therapy can help you create more balance in your life and improve your relationships with others. While I like to create a warm and non-judgemental space to allow you to share your feelings I tend to take a more interactive “hands-on'' approach. I consider therapy to be an active and collaborative process where we will work together to get you where you need to be. Our work together and the relationship we create together is a very important part of this process and contributes to lasting change.

Collaboration and trust characterize a strong therapeutic relationship. Therapy is very much a conversation about how you think and feel and what you hope to change. My starting questions are "why now," and "how would you like me to help"? I am trained in developmental and clinical psychology and work with adolescents, young adults , families and adults throughout the life span. Anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders and transitioning to adulthood are specialties.

Are you struggling with your relationship with food and body image? Has your struggle with eating and body image not been understood by medical providers and people you are close to? Have you searched for ways to get support for eating concerns where your cultural background and identities are centered? It can be hard to pursue recovery from an eating disorder, depression, or anxiety while also navigating relationships and your career. Your eating disorder can still show up when you don't expect it to even after putting efforts in your recovery. Support can be helpful no matter what phase of the journey you are on.
