Divorce Therapists in Upper West Side, New York, NY

I'm a mature and experienced clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst who has been practicing psychotherapy for over thirty-five years. I'm a dedicated and responsive professional, and insightful and empathetic listener. My training and clinical experience will allow us to work together to understand and address your concerns and distress. I'm easy to talk with: respectful, attentive, and interpersonally engaged and receptive. While sensitive and compassionate, I'm also direct and down to earth. In my many years of working with people, I have experience with the full range of issues that bring people to psychotherapy.

I specialize in guiding clients through life transitions, addressing addiction and trauma, and offering support in psychedelic integration. I help clients create meaning and gain freedom from negative patterns within a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with clients from diverse walks of life, addressing a variety of challenges. I'm most interested in facilitating movement towards healing and wholeness, in whichever form that takes for the client I am working with. I use a number of modalities to apply a holistic approach which empowers my clients to gain insights, find harmony, and cultivate meaningful change.

Dealing with overwhelming emotions and stress can often be an isolating experience, but it does not have to be. My goal as a clinician is to create a safe setting for healing through compassion, understanding, and trust. Our work together will focus on gaining a stronger understanding of yourself while obtaining skills and techniques to forge meaning through difficult moments in life. I believe that high quality therapy comes from a customized approach by taking evidence-based methodologies and tailoring them to an individual’s personality and needs.

I center culture and the intersectionality of your identities in my work as a therapist. I was trained psychodynamically, which means that I pay close attention to unconscious processes guiding your behavior. I offer insight into these dynamics to help you move forward with your life goals. My clinical interventions are also grounded in efforts to challenge the ways in which you may be affected by systems of oppression.

Online therapy service for individuals and couples across the states of New York and California. Are you experiencing relational and emotional difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, or struggling to process traumatic experiences or challenging relationships? If so, I would like to offer you a safe, non-judgmental, therapeutic, and supportive space to help you overcome these issues and move towards a state of relational, emotional, mental, and behavioral health.

There is no simple formula for helping people but there are necessary elements: an atmosphere of safety and respect, and openess to and curiosity about the uniqueness of each person. Therapy is essentially a series of conversations in which you and I create meaningful solutions to problems and difficulties in living. The opportunity provided by therapy for greater self awareness allows people to stop self defeating behavior and destructive patterns of living and to get on with making the best use of their time and talents.

My practice is focused on helping you improve your relationships! I am a licensed clinical psychologist and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I treat individuals and couples struggling with issues that impact their romantic, familial, social & professional relationships; these can include anxiety, depression, anger, stress, self-esteem & sexuality. As an LGBTQ affirmed therapist, my patients are heterosexual and LGBTQ individuals as well as couples. Together, we will work to help you become your most confident, passionate, connected, and open self. Let's begin your journey to a happier, more satisfying, and meaningful life!

I am a training analyst and supervisor at NPAP and Blanton-Peale Institute, and a professor at CUNY. I use a psychodynamic approach allied with an interpersonal or relational orientation. I interact with clients as they come to grips with the hurtful circumstances of the past- or recent events- that have undermined self-esteem or their sense of self and resulted in poor personal choices and decision making in the present. I understand the persistence of unproductive or destructive modes of behavior, or the difficulty of seeing oneself in a new, hopeful light and acting in accord with such insight.

Hi and welcome to my practice. I have been treating children, adolescents, adults and families for almost 40 years.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, practicing in New York City for over 40 years. I offer individual psychotherapy to adults and adolescents, as well as couples and family therapy. We may address a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, loss, life crises, problems in intimate relationships and troubling patterns of behavior. Inevitably the work expands to include an exploration of beliefs and self-protective ways of being that are no longer needed and get in the way of a whole-hearted appreciation of one's unique strengths, one's entitlement to make active choices and to pursue one's most authentic goals.

I am a contemporary psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapist. Psychoanalytically trained therapists are caring, empathic people who really listen and respond. I will listen with the deepest empathy. I'll actively help you resolve painful emotions and conflicts, and we'll work together to find long-lasting solutions to what troubles your heart and mind. In the unique bond that forms in a truly therapeutic relationship, we'll embark on an important journey, exploring your conscious and unconscious feelings and thoughts, always linking past to present in order to resolve conflict and pain so you can live your life to its fullest.

I treat a wide spectrum of conditions including mood and anxiety disorders (e.g., bipolar and depressive disorders, panic and phobias), ADHD, marital issues and PTSD. My niche is in personality disorders (e.g., borderline and narcissistic personality disorder). I have extensive experience treating trauma sequelas, dissociative disorders and helping individuals overcome grief. My practice also includes treatment of eating disorders in adults (e.g., bulimia) and parasuicidal behaviour. Although my practice is mainly guided by empirical modalities, I tend to approach each client in an eclectic manner to customize treatment as needed.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I offer individual psychotherapy, couples therapy and psychotherapy supervision and consultation.. I am grounded in psychodynamic relational theory and I also use a broad range of methods and theories to tailor therapy to the goals and needs of each individual or couple. I am also an Emeritus Associate Professor at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, Yeshiva University. And I supervise therapists in training and in practice and have taught supervision seminars at several New York postgraduate training institutes.

Employing relational and psychodynamic techniques, I work with individuals, couples and families. I treat relationship difficulties, mood disorders, bipolarity, and trauma as well as depression and anxiety. Over the years I've developed a specialization in long-standing repetitive patterns that affect the quality of your life while proving very difficult to change. This sometimes involves issues that were apparently resolved in a previously successful treatment only to reappear a few years later.

My work in counseling psychology emerged from being an artist. While earning my BFA at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, I was invited into my colleagues' lives and learned to share their experiences through their lenses and perceptions. My graduate training at NYU sharpened this insight to bring a unique perspective to the therapeutic process. Together we work to provide greater clarity, build a more authentic sense of self, and healthier relationships.

I completed my Ph.D. in clinical psychology as well as post-doctoral training in psychotherapy and contemporary psychoanalysis at New York University. I have been in private practice for over twenty years,treating adolescents and adults from a variety of backgrounds. Respectfulness, clarity and directness, tempered by humor characterize my exploratory work. In a flexible and pragmatic manner, I aim to alleviate symptoms and problems in living in the briefest possible time. Although not a sufficient reason to remain in therapy, a regular benefit is the pleasure and pride in an examined life.

Current: Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology, Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University Medical Center

Feeling stuck? Find yourself having the same problems at work or in your personal relationships? Perhaps you can even identify specific ways you're sabotaging yourself... You are not alone. As part of development, we learn adaptive as well as maladaptive ways of coping; which can be frustrating and feel hopeless, but your life doesn't have to stay this way. With focused effort and collaboration, we can work to understand how your life got to this point and what you can do to make things better. Psychotherapy is about increasing awareness which leads to freedom.
