Couples Counseling Therapists in New York, NY

Has it become difficult to make friends, feel connection or love? Do you and your partner keep having the same fight without reaching a resolution? Have you been longing for connection, truth and authenticity; but keep bumping into fear and worry? If this resonates with you, you are not alone.

Do you find yourself getting stuck in the same relationship patterns over and over again? Do you find yourself doing everything in your power to discontinue previous relational patterns and behaviors? Are you struggling with self-doubt, low-self-esteem, and painful self-criticism that seems to be holding you back? My approach to therapy looks at these patterns and behaviors through the lens of parts work. This allows us to separate the self (you), from the parts that struggle with self-doubt, and from the parts that persist in repeating unhealthy relationships and behavioral patterns.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

I make the room safe, no matter the issue you bring to me. Everyone could use therapeutic support or help achieving greater pleasure in their life at some point, whether it is to cope with a break up, figure out relationship patterns that you want to change, contend with anxiety, loneliness or depression, grieve a loss, process major life transitions or work on a marriage. I have been treating adults and couples in private practice for over 15 years.

Uncovering deep feelings and internalized anxiety can better help one to understand the motivations for problematic behaviors or interruptions to ones well being. In the search for more balanced personal and professional lives and long term harmony and self esteem, we will work together to uncover those deeper feelings and impulses in a safe, non judgmental space.

As a licensed therapist, I seek to help individuals, couples and families cope with the stresses of everyday life as well as those impacted by anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, eating disorders, addiction and trauma.

Life comes with joy and pain, love and anger, accomplishments and mess-ups, and sometimes confusion. The times when we struggle and feel stuck or confused as individuals, as couples & as parents are often signals that it’s time to grow.

I also work with individuals, couples and families facing every day parenting, life and relationship challenges.

I am a psychodynamically trained psychotherapist and have worked with adults and children for 18 years around issues that include PTSD, trauma, relationship problems, employment concerns, parenting questions, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I have found that talking can greatly reduce stress and distress and can lead to significant change. People tend to find immediate relief after beginning the process. I also practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people work through traumas and areas where they are stuck in their lives.

As a depth oriented therapist and life coach, I offer a safe, emotionally warm, non-judgmental therapeutic space for individuals and couples to examine behavioral patterns, explore and develop strategies to issues of anxiety, depression, confidence, shame, self-worth, self-esteem, grief, life transitions, and dating. I provide a safe and warm space for men, LGBTQ, multicultural and diasporic identities to express, and process their issues and concerns. Together, we will collaborate and explore mindful ways to remove potential barriers to the marital or professional relationship , career or academic progress you can achieve.

I help clients to develop curiosity and compassion about their inner lives and desires, guiding them towards healing, pleasure, and joy. I approach therapy as a collaboration in which we get to know your inner world together. I help you to uncover the psychological, somatic, and sensory experiences that have shaped how you approach the world, providing opportunities for freedom, choice, and transformation. In both individual and couples therapy, I use mindfulness and embodiment to help you build awareness of your own wants, needs, emotions, and desires, creating a foundation for clear communication, intimacy, and understanding.

I offer psychotherapy for men and women seeking relief from emotional suffering, experiences of disconnection, or untenable situations in their lives and relationships.

As a therapist my priority is to cultivate a safe, compassionate and respectful environment. Hearing your story allows me to connect by giving me a deeper understanding of your experiences. I find that an honest and genuine relationship is the primary ingredient to create meaningful changes together. You are the expert of your life and I am eager to learn from you; it will be an honor to guide you in fostering a holistic relationship with yourself in which mind, body and soul are equally important. With a strong therapeutic bond, I believe I can help you navigate through the obstacles thrown your way to rediscover hope and purpose.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck, unseen, or disconnected? Have these feelings intensified after 2+ years of pandemic? Are you wanting more from your relationships and your work? Do things like creativity and embodiment feel elusive and out of reach? Or are you a performer or achiever who is often put on a pedestal by those around you, idolized yet at a distance from the kind of care you actually want?

Therapy can be a space to expand your sense of yourself. While a specific problem may bring you to therapy, I believe that my patients are often helped by gaining insight into (and ultimately, mastery over) long-standing patterns in their relationships, feelings, or behaviors. This approach helps to create lasting change. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have a variety of concerns, some of which include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, or a vague sense of being disconnected from oneself. I am LGBTQ-affirming and have experience working with LGBTQ and gender-expansive individuals.
