Hello. I'm Kathleen. I have over ten years of experience as a care worker and clinician. I know that healing is hard, but therapy helps. I feel honored to be a therapist and strive in my practice to create a safe space with my clients to deconstruct histories and emotions. I believe that all individuals are capable of change and growth. My primary focus as a therapist is symptom reduction and increased day-to-day functioning. I assist individuals to achieve better awareness of themselves by being able to articulate how thoughts and feelings relate to behavior.
Alexandra Silverman
PsyD
The process of beginning therapy can feel overwhelming. In therapy I build a warm, safe, and collaborative space to meet you where you are and help you work through challenges you’re facing. Together, we will explore and make meaning of your past and current experiences, while you are developing useful tools to help you feel more in charge of your life. With extensive and varied clinical training, I utilize an integrative approach and tailor treatment to best meet your individual needs.

You want emotional intimacy but disappointment and blame distance you. You withdraw or act out sexually to avoid pain? Do romantic obsessions or resentment towards your partner/spouse fuel your inability to connect and feel loved? I reach out from my decades of experience with individuals and couples who are intimacy avoidant and I help resolve your past and present blocks to intimacy by facilitating the examination and change of life-long patterns in my safe office space. My willingness to listen, to observe, to enter your world with a structured understanding is my therapeutic strength that has transferred to online sessions.

We are living in a time of peak stress. It's only natural that we feel down, anxious, and burned out. However, that doesn't mean we can't find relief. Through online therapy, I will work with you to address life's problems and find joy again without having to travel to an office. Online therapy (i.e., teletherapy or virtual therapy) allows you to attend one-on-one sessions from the comfort of your home or other convenient location at a time that works for you.

No matter how fortunate you may be, still human life is difficult. Despite your best efforts, at times life's stresses can be too much: you may be overwhelmed. Hurt, fear, guilt, anger, shame, grief: feeling bad can alert you to where the trouble lies, or add to your emotional burdens. Confusion, isolation, loneliness, restlessness, worry, despair, or addictive attempts to find relief - all of these painful states are attempts to ward off problems or fix what's wrong, but they can also make things worse.

Life can be filled with challenging moments, situations and relationships. Such encounters can cause depression, anxiety and isolation. Life events may lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms that can evolve into self-destructive behaviors or relationships. I believe that healing and insight are stimulated by an interpersonal connection provided through a therapeutic alliance between the client and the therapist. I am trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and multiple behavioral therapies. I have years of experience as a therapist working in a renowned outpatient substance abuse and mental health facility.

Jack Herskovits, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I am a psychologist with a diverse practice. I work with individuals, couples, adolescents and families, and conduct a variety of psychotherapy groups. My style is informal, supportive and interactive. I have extensive experience working with issues related to addictive and compulsive behavior problems, relationship issues, identity issues, and many other areas of clinical concern. My first aim is to establish a mutually comfortable rapport to provide an atmosphere of openness and to make self exploration an experience that is satisfying and immediately helpful in both the short and long term.

Sometimes it's easy to 'know' on some level that something about your life isn't working for you, but breaking out of an unhealthy pattern or relationship is the hard part. I aim to create a warm and nonjudgmental space for you to examine how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are causing you to feel stuck. We may also seek to understand how beliefs or experiences from your 'first family' play a role. I believe that taking the first step towards therapy is an act of courage, and it is my goal for our sessions to equip you with new insights, self awareness, and coping skills to help you manage the challenges that life presents.

We all have an idea of the life we want, joyful, meaningful, fulfilling and with healthy and loving relationships. Trying to create this life can be challenging and I believe that therapy can be a place where you feel safe to share your challenges, without worry or fear. My approach is collaborative, non judgmental, and patient. Together we will work together to explore what is getting in the way of you achieving the life you would like to have. In doing so, we will have opportunities to discuss your relation to self, others, work, and social justice issues.

I believe we all have the courage and determination to meet even tough life problems. My goal is to assist with meeting these problems through gaining insight into the problems and the factors that perpetuate them. I focus on developing a useful way of understanding vulnerabilities, and on observing and gaining a greater sense of unique attributes. I also focus on developing behavioral steps to foster understanding and a greater sense of strength. This process can be hard, but it can also be hopeful, creative and rewarding.

To schedule a free 15-minute consultation, use the following link: calendly.com/ben-manhattantherapy. Freud once said "There are many ways and means of practicing psychotherapy. All that lead to recovery are good." In my work with clients, I use an integrative approach trying to tailor a unique therapeutic approach to each individual client who walks through the door. My main mode of therapy consists of drawing from Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic theories and ideas, but I also try to incorporate existential psychotherapy, mindfulness, and CBT when I feel it's beneficial to my clients.

If you're like most of my clients – you are high functioning and externally successful, but when you slow down or try to relax, your nervous system kicks into high alert. So, you can’t stop. Your intimate relationships are draining and a struggle to maintain, but you can’t be alone either. You feel an emptiness and lack of fulfillment no matter how much you accomplish. You have tried coping on your own, but your triggers, as well as, your stress are getting worse. I get it. I believe that triggers are opportunities for healing and growth and that with putting in the work there is light at the end of the tunnel. Help is available.

In my practice, I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment where a trusting therapeutic relationship can be built. This has been, in my 18+ years of experience, the most effective way to ensure we can do meaningful work to achieve your goals. In this therapy journey, I hope to support and challenge you along the way, working collaboratively to help you live a more fulfilling life. Through my gentle guidance, clients are encouraged to be more open and introspective by identifying goals, becoming more aware of their maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, and empowering them to work towards their needs and wants.
Daniel Spence
Counselor, MA, LMHC

I usually work from a mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral perspective, in which we examine how your thinking affects your emotions and behaviors. By becoming aware of unhealthy thought patterns, we can learn to think differently; and similarly, change our relationship with the associated negative feelings. I usually work in a more direct manner, giving you concrete tools that you can use to help yourself. Of course, all of this will depend upon you! Each treatment will be a collaborative process, depending on what works best for you.
