Depression Therapists in New York, NY

As a psychotherapist I am committed to creating a warm, emphatic environment where you will feel comfortable expressing your thoughts and feelings, and engage in the collaborative process of self-exploration. I work with adolescents, adults and couples to address concerns including trauma, depression , anxiety, substance abuse, self-harming behavior, relationship issues, parenting challenges and stage of life transitions. My therapeutic style is psychodynamic, supportive and relational. Together we will work toward identifying the interpersonal dynamics and pattens of thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you feeling stuck.

I am committed to helping people understand themselves better so that they can make constructive changes in their lives, whether that is to feel less depressed or anxious, to establish more satisfying relationships, to stop bingeing and purging, or to function better at work. I work mainly with individual adults, including many college students. I have a doctorate in clinical psychology from Temple University. I have had post-doctoral training from the William Alanson White Institute in treating eating disorders and in psychodynamic psychotherapy from the NYU Psychoanalytic Institute,

I believe in listening attentively to all of my patients. I am aware of the uniqueness of every individual’s situation and offer genuine and specific advice that suit their wellbeing. I am experienced in providing both in office and in home social, emotional, behavioral, academic, cognitive, and familial based support. I see patients facing depression , anxiety, bullying, stress, emotional abuse, and a host of other concerns for which I deliver a sustainable therapeutic intervention via a customized treatment plan.

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.

Do you find yourself struggling with depression , anxiety, or constantly feeling “stuck”? Are you tired of feeling sad, lonely, and not having people who truly understand your struggles? Did you grow up in a community that stigmatized mental health and discouraged seeking support outside of your home or religion? Are you worried that someone might judge or consider you “weak” if you ask for help? Let me reassure you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, and you are not weak. There is no shame in seeking support. There is no shame in wanting a better life for yourself. There is certainly no shame in seeking happiness.

In my psychology practice, I work with people who enter psychotherapy for many reasons--from general issues including depression , anxiety, and low self-esteem to specific problems such as divorce, family conflict, and career crises. Some people are dealing with a long-standing issue, while others are struggling with recent stressors.

Psychoanalytic work is a journey taken by two people - the therapist and the patient. I think of psychoanalytic work as a voyage of discovery. Here is a safe place where you can stop, take your time, look, listen to yourself. A place to go when you feel stuck in your life. I have psychodynamic and multicultural perspectives to work with individuals with issues that maybe very specific - a relationship, a job, a developmental issue, repetitive thoughts and rituals, trouble with addictions, a death, a marriage, family issues. Or it could be more perplexing - a vague feeling something is wrong.

I view therapy as a collaborative effort to understand problems and conflicts, identify realistic goals and take advantage of strengths and strategies that promote change. While the focus is often on current issues, understanding the influence of past experiences and relationships is an important part of the process.

Psychotherapy provides a unique space through which a new relationship with oneself and others can be forged. Change in patterns of feeling and relating can be achieved through a process of exploration of and reflection on one's deeply held beliefs, convictions, and values, and past and present experiences. My approach is collaborative and informed by psychodynamic perspectives. I strive to facilitate meaning, understanding, and empowerment through close attention to the details of one's internal life and external context. Many of the individuals I work with enter psychotherapy to work through depression and anxiety related to struggles with identity, relationships, loss, trauma, and migration.

I view therapy as a collaborative process in which insight, wisdom and healing arise though a relationship of trust and curiosity. You might feel depressed , anxious, confused, frustrated, stuck or that your life has lost direction. Something in you knows it doesn’t have to be this way and therapy can help. By welcoming and exploring all parts of you, transformation and healing is possible. I value the experience of each individual and tailor my approach to your unique needs in a holistic, non-pathologizing manner.
