Alcohol Use Therapists in Upper West Side, New York, NY

Hello! We are Online Virtual Counselors, a group practice whose providers have over a combined 150 years of experience. We offer online therapy and psychological support in English and Spanish to clients living in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, DC, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts and Maryland. We specialize in working with all childhood disorders, individuals and couples for anxiety, trauma. relationship counseling, addictions, and infidelity. We are committed to providing supportive and highly individualized care for their clients, and helping them navigate times of transition and change within their relationships.

I am committed to creating an atmosphere of trust, respect, and honesty. I listen attentively and believe that the relationship that we create together is the most important tool for our work together. My orientation is also psychodynamic, which means that I believe in the central role of the unconscious, past history and emotional forces. I apply this approach to many kinds of issues (depression, anxiety, addiction, difficulty in interpersonal relationships, general sense of dissatisfaction with life). My goal is to help you develop the awareness, insight, and psychological skills that you will be able to use later on your own.

My practice combines traditional psychotherapy and chakra-based techniques to reach specific goals, stimulate change and growth, and heal memories and experiences. This mind-body approach can be thought of as nature's mind-healing mechanism and all types of clients (not just holistically-oriented) take to it readily. It is effective with most issues - work and relationship difficulties, finding direction in life and most disorders especially addictions, anxiety, and depression. I focus on developing intuition, becoming grounded and productive, expressing creativity and personal power, and connecting to self and other.

I am a mental health clinician and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with individuals and groups in the interest of achieving optimal mental health and progress towards desired goals. Using a systemic therapy approach I assist my clients in reevaluating past and present difficulties so they may move successfully through transitional periods of life into a happy, balanced future. I encourage a holistic approach towards wellness. I am a mental health clinician and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Seeking help takes courage. I create a safe, empathic space where, working together, we will uncover and unwind the self-defeating patterns of thought and behavior that are causing you pain. I use a holistic approach, bringing in mindfulness techniques, behavioral interventions, and DBT when needed, to help provide you with insight into unseen obstacles and the practical tools and skills to promote more productive behaviors. Together, we can come to understand and free you from old perceptions of your self that are holding you back so that real transformation can begin and you can live life more fully.

Hello, My name is Elizabeth Chery. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of clinical experience. I have experience working with various individuals who face anxiety, depression, grief, loss, self-esteem, addiction, relationship concerns, and other life experiences. I utilize different therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I truly believe that treatment is for everyone, but not every therapist is for every client.

I practice an integrated approach to Psychotherapy. I believe in meeting the client where they are and applying myriad psychotherapeutic interventions as they are needed by each client, week to week.

As a psychologist with psychoanalytic training, I have years of experience in treating anxiety and depression, especially serious depression. I believe that many problems emanate from faulty interpersonal relations and/or a lifetime of trauma. I can help you spot self sabotaging patterns. I provide a therapy that is accessible, affordable, and relies on both the examination of troublesome feelings as well as defective thinking patterns. Before anything else, I hope to build a trusting relationship.

Do you feel trapped or controlled by your emotions? Or feel like you have people who listen, but don’t really get what you've been through?

Many of us worry that we'll never be found by the world or by another person in the way that we want to be. There is a word for this: loneliness, and I believe it's at the root of addiction, depression, stress, anxiety, and our struggle to feel that we matter. In my first year of training, for example, I worked with refugees and other forced migrants; every area of their lives was impacted by their unmooring. But we are all owed a sense of mattering, and we deserve to feel that we belong.

Therapy is about healing and self growth. It is about making decisions and achieving life goals. It is about bettering relationships and building meaningful ties. It's about working through, and living without the pain of loss, depression and anxiety. In an atmosphere of safety, trust and non-judgement, I will help you navigate those difficulties which foster anxiety, depression and confusion, recognizing the often, central role of trauma in such challenges. I will assist in the process of gaining insight, while making decisions which breed personal and professional success. I will help in cultivating and improving relationships.

I bring over 20 years of experience to my work, integrating evidence-based therapies such as CBT, mindfulness and relaxation, with traditional talk therapy. In a warm and safe environment, we will work together to help you gain relief from what is bothering you, including relationships, depression or anxiety. We'll also explore deeper experiences that may be the source of ongoing emotional difficulties. By using a flexible approach and methods that are right for you, you will develop new insights, create strategies to manage stressors, enhance your strengths, and be better able to make constructive choices for yourself.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I work to help people make changes in how they lead their lives and experience themselves. Trained in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theories, I help people address a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders and relationship problems. My approach is collaborative, empathic, and supportive.

As a dynamic, interactive, solution-focused therapist, my approach is to provide support and practical feedback to clients, as well as assisting them in resolving current problems and long-standing dysfunctional patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, my clients are helped to find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.

I have a warm, sensitive, and interactive approach, which cultivates a rich discussion about what brings you to therapy. Discussion creates greater self-awareness. I believe that having a place in your life where you can say all your feelings and thoughts, and feel understood, is very important. Then, you can learn about the choices you've been making, and work on deciding what you want to continue, and what you want to alter.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in individual, group, and couple therapy, with a clinical focus on individuals with interpersonal trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, work and relationship difficulties. I have a small private practice, in which I provide services to adolescents and adults. I do not accept insurance, but am happy to help with the paperwork for patients to submit for reimbursement for themselves.

Do you feel stuck in your life? In relationships? In Work? I have 30 years of practice experience working to help others overcome obstacles that prevent them from achieving satisfaction and fulfillment in their lives. Together we can work in a safe, comfortable and accepting environment to explore what is preventing you from feeling that your life goals are within reach. We will work to help you explore the troubling aspects of your life and how they have impacted you. Gaining a better understanding of yourself can enable you to make choices to move forward and find greater satisfaction in life.

What I love about this work is helping my clients identify their strengths as well as counterproductive patterns in their relationships and the way they live their lives, so that they can live fulfilling lives that are aligned with their goals and values.
