Therapists in New York, NY

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst with over 25 years of experience working with adults with concerns about eating, exercise, weight, and body image, as well as a wide range of other issues. Starting therapy can be difficult, and I strive to create a warm, collaborative and nonjudgmental space in which you can safely explore yourself and how you relate to others, and work through current challenges and obstacles in your life. I participate actively in the therapeutic dialogue, and I view psychotherapy as a shared journey of self discovery that can lead to lasting change.

Psychotherapy can feel like a daunting journey to start but my goal is to help you feel supported, seen and understood each step of the way. Together, we will explore in detail what brings you to seek therapy and identify the problems that have become overwhelming, pervasive or limiting for you. I tailor my approach to each patient's individual needs and together we will work not only to reduce symptoms but to also address the underlying causes.

In my practice, I believe that you are the expert of your own life and view therapy as a collaborative process. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere where you can discover your authentic self and together we can uncover blocks and discover solutions.

I have extensive experience working in outpatient as well as inpatient settings with these individuals.

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns in your life that don't seem to be working for you?

My goal is to help them build the kind of lives they are looking for, in line with both their goals and their values, by approaching therapy scientifically and compassionately.

Are you struggling with emotional issues that are getting in the way of your enjoyment of life and fed up with trying to do it alone?

I am an empathic, compassionate, psychodynamically trained psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping people do the courageous work necessary to make meaningful, transformative changes in their lives. Therapy, as I practice it, involves a collaborative process, requiring the active engagement of both myself and my client. I have particular success with people who already have some degree of intellectual insight about themselves but who have difficulty translating that knowledge into making emotional and practical changes in their lives -- building bridges from mind to heart and spirit.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience successfully working with a wide variety of individuals.

Having recovered from a 17-yr struggle with bulimia, I know first hand the feeling of being shackled by an eating disorder. Utilizing a combination of relational, behavioral, and trauma-informed modaities, I walk alongside clients to help heal unresolved issues, get unstuck, have a stronger sense of self, and gain skills to create meaningful lives. Because of my personal and professional experience with recovery, I have incredible compassion and commitment to clients struggling with eating disorders.

My focus as a therapist is helping you understand and embrace your own identity and your own values. There is powerful strength in being yourself, and we can discover that strength together. My expertise is particularly in working with body image and eating disorders, with people who have or wish to be evaluated for autism and/or ADHD, with people experiencing self-injury or suicidal ideation, and with people who have "treatment-resistant" or severe anxiety and depression. I partner with patients who want to understand themselves on a deep level, while simultaneously offering concrete skills and tools to alleviate current symptoms.

Good therapy can produce long lasting life changes. Although shifts in behavior and emotions can take time, even in the short term there can be immediate relief. I see the relationship between the patient and therapist as central to a positive outcome. Although we are all infinitely diverse and complex, collectively we seek to be understood. I listen with curiosity and empathy to understand each individual's unique experience. In treatment I create an atmosphere of trust where together we can identify your strengths, find practical solutions to problems and unfold underlying vulnerabilities that are obstacles to your experience of a rich and fulfilling life.
