Gottman Method Therapists in New York, NY

Our practice, NYC Cognitive Therapy, includes a staff of male and female therapists with intensive post-graduate training in cognitive-behavior therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most widely researched and evidence-based form of therapy. CBT has been shown in more than one thousand studies to be effective in treating a wide range of psychological problems. CBT is active and teaches you the tools to be your own therapist. You are not alone and we are available to help you feel better. We also practice Gottman Method Couple Therapy, Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT).

My style of therapy is based upon a client-centered approach. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to empower your dreams. I'm a hands-on therapist that incorporates several modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gottman Method interventions, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness.

Accepting new clients. Knowing where you want to be and not knowing how to get there can be one of the greatest challenges anyone can face. You don’t have to face it alone. As a psychotherapist, I work with you through this process. I have dedicated my life to helping people and have over 25 years of experience working with clients transforming their bodies and their lives.

“Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives”. This is according to the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest study ever done on adult life. When insecurity, anxiety, and disappointment leave us feeling small, disconnected, and alone, our capacity for joy drops and our physical and mental health declines. My clients move to a position of empowerment where unhelpful reactive patterns are addressed and intentionality and security are cultivated. I am passionate in helping my clients live the authentic, abundant, and successful lives they deserve.

Many of my clients come seeking clarity on why they feel the way they feel, what's getting in the way of their goals, and how they have established patterns of relating that do not serve them. Others struggle with long-term mental health issues, trauma or crisis. I work with clients to solve problems and diminish symptoms by exploring the roots of their troubles. Through my training and careful listening, I empower my clients to create lasting change in their lives through the insight we gain together while providing a safe space to connect and experience relief.

Have you ever felt misunderstood, judged, confused, or couldn't find the "right" words to express yourself? What about feeling lonely in a relationship?

I specialize in Marriage & Family dynamics as well as individual and relationship issues. Unpacking all related topics, we will explore the concepts of communication, commitment, intimacy, marriage, premarital relations, divorce, non-traditional couples, and much more.

"When we protect ourselves so we won't feel pain, that protection becomes like armor that imprisons the softness of the heart". In therapy, rather than avoiding pain, we learn how to hold space for it. Therapy is a space to slow down, to be present and to fully connect to ourselves and our experiences. When we connect directly to our experiences, we create space to foster emotional growth, gain insight and move toward healing.
