Grief Therapists in Upper East Side, New York, NY

My name is Dr. Erin Blasdel-Gebelin, and I want to welcome you to New York Psychology, PLLC. After thirteen years of serving a diverse group of Veterans in the federal government, I opened my tele-psychology practice in 2021. As a telehealth psychologist, you have the opportunity to be in the space that is most comfortable for you. I help to address relationships, stress, anger, substance misuse, grief and loss , depression, anxiety, and/or adjustment concerns. Some clients reach out to me to explore religious trauma or faith transitions. Many high performing professionals reach out for support due to challenges in the workplace.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who believes in the power of understanding ones own story. I do not believe that you are “broken,” or that you need “fixing.” I use a combination of mindfulness, strength-based, and compassion-focused approaches to empower my clients to re-claim parts of their story and achieve self-acceptance. I strive to help clients interpret past experiences and to unburden emotional pain, which can improve your relationships, help you achieve your goals, and improve your overall quality of life.

I am a licensed psychologist in New York and Florida, working in private practice and in research at Weill Cornell Medicine. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss , and issues related to aging and serious illness. Much of my research has also explored these topics, with a focus on helping families navigate the stresses of caring for their loved ones. I also have extensive training conducting psychological assessments across the lifespan, as well as providing cognitive rehabilitation services.

At the Seleni Institute, my colleagues and I are committed to providing excellent psychotherapy for women and couples experiencing reproductive and maternal mental health challenges, from mild parenting stress and worry, to severe postpartum depression and anxiety, to the grief of losing a child. We specialize in supporting women and couples through pregnancy; the postpartum period; infertility and IVF; miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss ; parenting and parenthood.

I work collaboratively with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief , loss , trauma, or struggles in their relationships. I use a strengths based, relational approach to therapy, helping my clients understand healthy and unhealthy relationship patterns in their lives and how to change them. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing and EMDR which I use with clients who have experienced trauma or are feeling "stuck" in their lives. I work collaboratively with you so that together we may discover your path to a healthier, happier and fulfilling life. I work with families, couples and individuals.

The challenges and changes that we all go through over the course of our lives often feel unmanageable. Are you feeling sad, depressed or anxious? Have you suffered a loss and feel overwhelmed with grief ? Are your relationships with people not going well or are you and/or your partner feeling unhappy and unsatisfied in your relationship? Worried about your parenting and interactions with your children? It can be really difficult trying to cope with all these feelings alone. Therapy can help you to work through and understand what's going on in your life. A way to explore these areas, and feel better about yourself and your life.

I am warm, open, and informal. People feel safe and comfortable enough to trust me with their secrets, fears, and intimacies. I am aware that by the time you call a therapist, you want some relief! So, I work from the "Top Down" -- giving stress-relief, relaxation, new perspectives, and ways to help you to feel better quickly --as well as from the "Bottom Up", so you understand why you are the way you are, and how you might change what you want to...

Are you overcome with grief ? Do you feel overwhelmed by life and the world around you? Do you feel anxious or depressed? Do your interactions with family members and significant others cause you distress? Do you feel isolated because there is no one to speak to? Let me help you navigate those feelings and find ways to take affirmative steps toward improving the quality of your life. I am an empathetic and engaged therapist. I pride myself on creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where I promise that you will be heard.

My passion is helping people adjust to significant transitions in their lives. Often when we experience changes in our lives, we lose our sense of balance and identity. These changes may be caused by the death of a loved one, shifts in family roles, adjustment to an illness, or new demands at school or work. In our work, you will gain a deeper understanding of how these transitions are impacting your mood, quality of life, and overall happiness. I work with clients to set and achieve realistic goals, while using one's values and strengths to help achieve these goals.

We are committed to providing excellent psychotherapy for women, men, and families experiencing maternal mental health and family-building challenges. We address parenting challenges and stress, parental burnout, marital discord, mild to moderate perinatal depression and anxiety, pregnancy loss and grief related to infant and child loss .

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to explore possibilities for growth and change.

Together we will find what actions and awareness you need to make change and growth come to life. I work best with interactive conversation that leads to better communication and better relationships with self and others.
