Therapists in New York, NY

I specialize in treating issues relating to trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, race, gender, sexuality, and identity development. My training and background includes EMDR, DBT, CBT, Sensorimotor/Somatic, and psychodynamic specializations. I provide both short and long-term treatment and focus on creating an effective treatment plan using evidence based approaches for your healing. I can provide referrals for medication, psychiatric care, and documentation for work or school accommodations. I provide flexible scheduling and am currently accepting new clients.

I often work with individuals who do not know themselves, experience feelings of emptiness and dread, suffer with fears and phobias, have difficulties around their sexuality and/or gender, and suffer with physical ailments not otherwise explained by medicine. My work and style is marked by a deep openness to experience and a revisiting of emotions and memories in a nonjudgmental and collaborative environment. In this jointly created space, we’ll work toward possible goals such as: stopping repetitive destructive behaviors, achieving satisfying relationships, and reaching your creative, emotional and professional potential.

The start of a new psychotherapy often occurs when you are going through a particularly difficult time in your life. It takes courage to reach out and begin the process. But the benefits can be significant. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to expand your understanding of yourself and the meaning of your current difficulties, to clarify your hopes and develop new ways of pursuing them, and to learn how to cope with disappointments and challenges so they do not grow into insurmountable obstacles. I practice collaboratively. I will work with you to develop an approach that is responsive to your needs and preferences.

I utilize an eclectic, psychodynamic approach that is tailored to your individual needs. I work with a wide range of people facing a diversity of challenges. I have specific experience with issues related to substance misuse, LGBTQ identities, HIV/AIDS, anxiety, depression, sexual compulsions, romantic relationships, spirituality & religion, and trauma. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you and be a part of your process of growth and development. Feel free to contact me for more information or an initial consultation.

In life, we all face times when things don't seem to be working for us anymore. During these tough moments, the guidance of a skilled professional can be invaluable. I'm Dr. Chris Stults, and I'm here to help you navigate the challenges that you are facing. I work with people from all walks of life, but my specialties include helping LGBTQ+ people, people in non-monogamous relationships, and those experiencing relationship problems. Additionally, I have extensive experience assisting professionals who want to improve their mental health, relationships, and work/school performance. Let me help you reclaim control over your life.

Hello! I'm Dr. Brian Freidenberg. In therapy, I place the therapeutic relationship above all else. The relationship is the vehicle for change. I believe that a good therapist listens well; is empathic; and provides a safe, empowering, and judgement-free environment. The client and I form a partnership to help the client navigate this great adventure called life. My primary areas of expertise are ADDICTIONS (e.g., substances, sex, video games, phone, social media), ANXIETY, CHILDHOOD and ADOLESCENCE, COLLEGE students, VETERANS, RELATIONSHIPS, TRAUMA, GROUPS, PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, and COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY.

Do you feel "stuck?" Are you cutting off your feelings? Do you have difficulty speaking up with what you need? Are you dissatisfied with your relationships? You don't have to feel helpless, stuck or disappointed. Therapy can lend a hand to reconnect with your spontaneity & discover opportunities to make new choices and express your needs. Most of my clients increase their abilities to communicate effectively, increase their awareness, develop more satisfying relationships, and begin to identify joy. Help make your relationship work for you - couple's therapy works! I appreciate how difficult it is to take this step.

Exploring your personal well-being is courageous and deliberate work. Like all work, it is worthy of a safe space. As a therapist, I strive to honor, respect, and cultivate that safety in our time together. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, anger, and relationship conflict. I have years of experience working with entrepreneurs, researchers, educators, & first responders.

Therapy is about both addressing specific issues which may be getting in our way as well as cultivating a healthy curiosity about ourselves, our patterns, and our experiences. Life is wrought with transitions which can catch us off-guard, and it is common to feel unsure as to whether we are on the right path. Thankfully, these can be successfully navigated collaboratively and discreetly through a relationship with a trusted professional. Gaining an understanding of ourselves through identifying our blind spots is the first step in establishing a life that is both purposeful and fulfilling.

As your therapist my job is to support, empower and accompany you on your journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. My practice is deeply rooted in providing affirming care, and I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals who have faced a wide range of traumatic experiences within their communities, relationships and families, often feeling stuck and overwhelmed in their lives. At the same time my practice emphasizes inclusivity for all people regardless of sexuality. I strive to create an environment where everyone's unique experiences are valued and respected.

Congratulations on taking this step towards your new freedom. It's time to start healing. You're not alone if you find yourself searching for answers to these questions: How do I find a lasting sense of purpose in my life? When will I finally be content with my accomplishments? Why do I eventually get dissatisfied with most all of my relationships? Will I ever find lasting joy and passion? How do I find the courage to be my own person? Why does it seem like I sabotage my own success? Together, we'll work to set realistic goals, identify barriers, remove obstacles and unlock your full potential.

Most of us don't choose to suffer. Most of us are suffering because no one ever taught us that we have a choice not to. If you have ever expressed any stress or sadness from looking in the mirror and telling yourself you "should" lose weight, make more money, or be any different than who you are now, then you are suffering the consequences of distorted thinking, and this is the time to take charge and change.

I deeply believe in every individual's potential to grow, change, and solve problems. Using several approaches to tailor therapy to each client, we work together to achieve more self-compassion, awareness, and understanding. This team effort is applied to best cultivate the most effective and efficient ways to reach all goals.
