Therapists in Upper West Side, New York, NY

My inclusive practice is anchored in a respect for the cultural lens that shape a diversity of world views. My therapeutic approach is especially effective for changing repetitive unproductive behavioral patterns in interpersonal relationships and supporting new insights for understanding that the same mindset cannot be used for finding solutions to the complex problems that created them.

With over 20 years proven experience, I have collaborated with a variety of clients -adults, children, families and the elderly - in improving their personal and professional relationships. By acknowledging our positionality and employing a relational, empathic approach in my practice, clients are able to successfully negotiate relationship issues, and overcome related struggles with depression and trauma. Empowerment is a major focus of our work.

I specialize in short-term intensive psychotherapy and long-term psychotherapy with children, adolescents, adults, and families, and I conduct psychological testing. My work with children and adolescents has involved helping them navigate a range of emotional, behavioral, and academic difficulties. I have worked in private and public schools and counseled parents to help them advocate for their children's needs. My work with adults has included serving in outpatient and inpatient settings to address a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties managing stressors, relationship, career and marital problems.

No one should suffer from unnecessary psychological distress. I specialize in "mindfulness", and cognitive-behavior therapy for children, adolescents and adults. I have been practicing for more than thirty years and have helped many people achieve life goals that had previously seemed out of their reach. I am fortunate that I love what I do. This is evident in my dedication to my clients. Their legacies are my rewards. My therapeutic approach enables me to positively impact individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessions/ compulsions, phobias, post traumatic stress, dysregulated moods and delusional thinking.

Everyone who comes through my office door has one thing in common: the wish to suffer less and enjoy life more. I can help you achieve your life goals and dreams. I see my job as listening to you carefully, patiently, and through the lens of my professional expertise, in order to identify the hidden obstacles to your greater wellbeing. Together, in an atmosphere of nonjudgmental, accepting, respectful communication, we will interrupt dysfunctional patterns and build on your strengths. The results of a successful treatment will be that you no longer feel "stuck"; instead, you will feel like life offers you more possibilities.

I am a licensed psychologist in New York, Florida and Connecticut and certified by PSYPACT to provide telehealth services to clients in states participating in PSYPACT. I provide treatment for adolescents and adults across the lifespan using cognitive behavior therapy. Treatment is time-limited, goal-directed and structured. My approach is collaborative, respectful, compassionate and logical.

Welcome. I am a New York licensed clinical psychologist and therapist. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy. My approach draws upon various clinical theories and techniques, such as psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I approach psychotherapy as a creative, collaborative undertaking between therapist and client with the goal of creating a safe, healing relationship through which clients can discover and mobilize their deepest capacities for transformation. I have been in practice for over 25 years, working with clients of all ages, including adults, couples, families, young children & adolescents. Areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, issues surrounding adoption, parenting, and co-parenting after divorce. As a psychotherapist and special educator I have worked extensively with children with learning differences.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work with people to help increase their awareness of thoughts, feelings and behaviors -- such as fear, sadness and anger-- that can hold them back from being fully engaged in the world. I try to create an environment that will encourage curiosity and help you garner insight into the situations that may cause you to act in ways that feel unproductive. We will work to find news ways to think, feel and respond.

Therapy is a powerful tool to aid in healing emotional pain and creating satisfaction in our lives. We often find ourselves repeating patterns that get in the way of achieving goals. These patterns can cause difficulty in relationships, feelings about ourselves and fulfillment in our work. I practice from a relational perspective which focuses on expanding the capacity to relate and connect freely with others while maintaining a good sense of yourself. This work aims to enhance your relationship with yourself, eliminate painful patterns and allow for increased quality and enjoyment of life.

I am a bi-lingual psychotherapist with more than 30 years experience treating adults, children, families and couples suffering from depression, anxiety, relationships issues, parenting, trauma and eating disorders. Are you stuck or blocked, feeling shame, anger, fear, or sadness? Are you disconnected from your inner source of self-esteem, strength and joy? Are your moods driving your actions in your life, instead of your aspirations and goals? Do you find yourself unable to stop addictive, or impulsive behavior patterns? Perhaps it's time to ask yourself how long you can keep doing the same things, expecting different results.

I am a CBT and DBT provider offering in-person and telehealth visits. Choosing the right therapist is about finding the right fit – I am hopeful that working together we can find out where you feel stuck so we can help you achieve a fulfilling life. I work with adults struggling with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues and personality disorders. Most importantly, I strive to foster a collaborative and active environment to help people create lives that are worth living.

Experience has taught me that a safe and supportive therapeutic environment is the key to emotional healing and personal growth. This is one of the foundations of my work. I have been in private practice for over thirty years. I have extensive training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and am a Certified EMDR therapist ;a treatment for Trauma( Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I am also certified in Hypnosis. In addition I incorporate Somatic Experiencing, a therapy to relieve and resolve symptoms of trauma and other emotional/health related issues which express themselves in the body.

Psychotherapy is about making meaningful changes. I work to help people become unstuck, overcome anxiety and learn about who they are and who they want to be. People who work with me describe me as accepting, interactive and authentic. I will listen to you closely and ask questions that make you think. In addition, I will challenge you to actively make changes in order to live a life more closely in line with your personal values. Therapy helps people gain clarity, manage difficult situations and emotions, and feel more connected to themselves and to others.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with experience and interest in issues around anxiety, depression, relationships, as well as aspects of identity including ethnicity, immigration, gender, and sexual orientation. Over the past eleven years, I've worked with adolescents and adults in multiple settings including university college counseling centers, community mental health, inpatient hospital settings, as well as forensic facilities. I also have extensive training in assessment, especially personality assessment, which informs my therapeutic approach. Drawing from a number of theoretical orientations within Psychology, I believe that a supportive alliance is the sine qua non for effective therapy.

My background and experience are quite varied, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and neuropsychological perspectives. This allows me to approach each situation with a unique focus on the need of the individual or individuals involved, and to provide treatment tailored to those needs (rather than to narrow conceptualization on my part of what psychotherapy 'is'). I also frequently draw upon the practice of meditation in helping people cope with anxiety, depression, learning issues, impulsivity, addiction, and so on. My commitment is to helping people gain both self-understanding and the ability to make substantive changes in behavior.

I have a special affinity for work with adolescents and young adults. I am well attuned to the psychological challenges attendant to the complex transitions in our culture from high school to college and from college to young adult life. I have in-depth experience with this age group, with their confusion and explorations of sexual experience, as well as the long dark corridors of eating disorders and addictions. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient hospital settings. Having seen it all, and found ways to help a wide variety of individuals, I am well positioned to offer hope.

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.
