Adults Therapists in New York, NY

These are difficult and destabilizing times, and many of our lives, and our ways of being in the world, have been changed in profound ways. With nearly 20 years of experience I provide compassionate and collaborative individual psychotherapy to pre-teens, adolescents and adults . Historically I have worked with a diverse clientele throughout all stages of life and with predominantly marginalized communities. I often treat folks struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress and mood disorders as well as difficulties related to relationships, life transitions, identity and belonging.

As we go through life we are exposed to innumerable experiences, both positive and negative, that determine the way we will feel about ourselves and how we chose to live our lives. Undoing the effect of the traumas we experience, big and small, requires much courage and self-awareness. With over 20 years of experience, I see myself as a therapist with whom you can feel safe to explore the deepest and most troubling aspects of your life, within an environment of acceptance and respect. I work with adults and couples in their search for a more fulfilling life.

For kids and adults , I provide individual counseling. For adults who suspect they're autistic, I do autism evaluations that are neurodiversity-affirming. And for parents looking for tools to decrease their child's anxiety, I'm a trained provider in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions).

I am a psychotherapist with 35+ years of experience. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is unique. This uniqueness develops when a person knows there is confidentiality and can safely talk about anxieties, sadness, loss and whatever is interfering with the person they wish to be. I have always felt clients personal problems are not the insurance companies business. Due to my experience I do not accept insurance and payment is out of pocket. Years ago before the pandemic I responded to a post from a therapist stating skype sessions were as beneficial as in-person sessions. The pandemic forced online sessions

Conflict can come from within, due to our experiences and struggles, and it can come from our relationships with others. It can lead to disintegration of relationships with our partners and our children, and even in how we view ourselves. Strengthening emotional connection and intimacy can help repair fractures, increase compassionate understanding, and build closeness. Even parents who are divorced can improve their relationships by learning to communicate in respectful child-centered ways. Focusing on positive growth, shifting well-engrained patterns, and building greater self-acceptance can create lasting change and happiness.

Working with children, adults and families I am committed to foster a collaborative process tailored to fit your needs and style. I will help you work through challenges of coping with distressing emotions, difficulties in relationships, issues of transitions, identity development, and cultural diversity. I am also experienced working with those who struggle with suicidal thoughts and self-harm behaviors. I would like to be your guide as we work together to uncover the happiest version of yourself, your child, or your family — and help you to become it. All while developing the strength and flexibility of your mind.

I am clinical psychologist providing therapy and assessment services in Scarsdale and Greenwich. I treat various conditions, such as depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, social anxiety, and school/work issues. I also focus on life transitions, whether that be a recent move, transition from college, changes in family dynamics, or changes in significant relationships. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in conducting psychological assessments. Therapeutically, I focus on developing teens and adults , where as I provide assessments for all ages.

I am a warm caring psychotherapist with a direct approach with over 30 years of experience treating adults and adolescents. I empathize with how difficult it can be to speak with someone about very personal matters and I provide a caring and nurturing environment for patients. My specialties include eating problems, with an emphasis on binge eating, obesity, and anorexia. In addition depression and anxiety, grief counseling, women's issues, interpersonal relationships as well as transitions through divorce for individuals, parents and children.

Are you feeling anxious, isolated, depressed? Are you having difficulty with relationships? Are you creatively blocked? Problems in living can be encountered despite accomplishment. I help you identify blocks in relationships, career, creativity. Life is full of unexpected shocks; therapy can be an auxiliary shock absorber.

Starting therapy can be a challenging process. In my practice, I aim to create a therapeutic space where you can approach whatever barriers you may be facing with curiosity and the safety of knowing you will not be judged. I specialize in therapy with young/emerging adults and college students experiencing a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, OCD, emotion regulation problems, academic/work stress, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. I have additional expertise in working with family members of individuals with serious mental illness, as well as people who identify as LGBTQIA+.

An effective therapist can help you overcome difficulties and enhance your life. My work as a therapist over many years has developed both my skills and my faith in the value of therapy. In my work, I am supportive, conscientious, honest, and knowledgeable. My focus is to helping my clients clarify and better understand their current challenges and find new ways to cope with them.

I believe it is important to always take an individualized approach to therapy based on the specific needs of each of client. I like to take an active approach to therapy that incorporates contemporary clinical research findings with evidence-based therapeutic models. I integrate both psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to provide a collaborative and supportive therapeutic experience.

Choosing a psychotherapist is rarely an easy decision. Can I trust this person? Will she be able to help and understand me? I believe that feeling respected and heard is the first step in a therapist-patient relationship. It is a necessary prerequisite to meaningful change in a person's life. People come to me with many concerns that can rob them of optimism and hope, and leave them feeling anxious,worried, alone,sad or frightened. I work to help people overcome obstacles, to value themselves more, and to help them find meaning and connection.
