Hebrew Therapists in New York, NY

אני פסיכולוגית קלינית עם הכשרה בישראל וניו יורק ועובדת מזה 15 שנה עם מבוגרים, הורים, ילדים ומתבגרים. בקרב ישראלים ישנה פעמים ההתלבטות וההחלטות הקשות לגבי מקומו של הבית. אשמח לעזור בתהליך הזה ובכל אתגר אחר.

כשמגיע הרגע לדבר על הקשיים הרגשיים חשוב לעשות זאת בשפה בה מרגישים נוח להתבטא. להיות ישראלי בניו יורק, בין אם לתקופה קצובה ובין אם באופן קבוע, זו חוויה ייחודית הכוללת בתוכה מרכיבים רבים; הסיבות והציפיות שהביאו למעבר לארה״ב, הזדהויות, שפה, שייכות, געגועים, בדידות, לעיתים התלבטויות האם להישאר כאן או לחזור לארץ. קשיים רגשיים, שאינם קשורים למעבר, מתעצמים בנסיבות אלו. גם קשיים בזוגיות עלולים להתעצם כאשר התלות ההדדית הופכת לדומיננטית בסביבה בה מעגל התמיכה מוגבל

אני מתמחה בטיפול בנשים, סביב חווית הקשורות בפוריות, הריון, לידה, הורות והגירה. יש לי הכשרה מתקדמת והתמחות טיפול בטראומה

אני פסיכולוג קליני שמטפל בניו יורק. אני עובד עם יחידים וזוגות המעוניינים לשפר את רמת חייהם ומתמודדים עם חרדות, טראומה, מצב רוח ירוד ומצבי חיים מורכבים (קשיים בנישואין, תחושת אי-מימוש, חוויית שכול ועוד).

I have extensive experience providing psychotherapy, supervising (Columbia & CUNY) and teaching graduate students . I specialize in treating anxiety (panic, social), depression, low self worth, attachment difficulties, perinatal depression/anxiety, and adjustment to parenting. I provide psychotherapy to those who are dissatisfied with their interpersonal relationships or with their career and who aspire to lead a meaningful life. Psychotherapy leads to greater self-knowledge, to making healthier life choices, to improving relationships and to greater self acceptance and confidence. Ineffective coping are replaced by healthier ones.

If you feel stuck in your life, therapy can help you break free of frustrating cycles. It's an opportunity for change and my goal is to help you live the life you want by identifying and working through obstacles that stand in the way of reaching your goals. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and job stress. I am a bilingual therapist who also speaks Hebrew .

With more than 15 years of experience. I am a mature and well prepared licensed psychotherapist and psychoanalyst (Trilingual: Spanish, English and Hebrew ) ready to provide high-quality psychotherapy to adults, adolescents and children from a diverse ethnic and cultural background. My clinical work is profoundly influenced by my solid clinical skills, the integration of different modalities, a profound capacity to empathized and care for my patients and a passion and strong ethics for the therapeutic work.

I am a licensed Psychologist practicing in New York City and Westchester. I earned my PhD as well as three Masters degrees (Master of Art, Master of Science, and Master of Philosophy) at Columbia University in the City of New York. I completed my clinical internship at Jacobi Medical Center. In addition to seeing patients in my private practice, I worked as a Clinical Researcher at New York State Psychiatric Institute, where I investigated the functional organization and structure of the human brain for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

I am internationally recognized for helping people break negative patterns and improve communication in their relationships. For over 35 years, I've led groups for eating disorder recovery & self-esteem enhancement. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples and families challenged by depression, various forms of addictions, including co-dependency. I help people manage anger, stress and emotional struggles. With compassion and creativity, I actively engage with people to foster resilience, confidence and self-worth in order to mobilize their strengths, fortify their sense of value and embrace their life journey.

My patients come to treatment to open up repressed parts of themselves. Sometimes, my patients are struggling to integrate family backgrounds, religious,or cultural with their lives today. They have often succeeded in their professional lives but feel stuck in their romantic or interpersonal lives.My patients usually bring a curiosity about how their history effects their present lives.They are interested in engaging in a treatment which examines this closely in order to understand why they are feeling blocked and to open up a greater sense of inner freedom in order to live more meaningful and fuller lives.

I believe in the individual's unique experience. Psychological theories can help us understand ourselves up to a certain point, but ultimately we have to write our own story. I try to be as open minded as possible and not to presume anything about my clients. I believe in diversity of thought, feelings and experience and encourage my clients to embrace their uniqueness rather than pressure themselves to conform. I try to provide a nonjudgmental environment in which clients can explore their struggles, make changes or accept themselves for who they are.

Finding the right therapist is the first step towards healing and the relief of your pain. A trusting relationship is the essence of effective treatment. You need to feel connected and understood in order to share your internal world. My empathic capacities will enable you to feel safe enough to explore the problems which have hindered your life and relationships. My perspective is informed by contemporary relational psychoanalysis and I use psychodynamic methods to help us understand what makes you into you and recognize your potential, so you can become freer to change and be the author of your own life story.

I have been in practice for over 20 years. I work with adults and with people who have a wide range of difficulties. I see people who are depressed, anxious, confused, troubled and who want to sort out their personal, professional and social lives. I also have training in psychoanalysis, which provides a deeper understanding of people and how their minds work. I see people as often as they need to be seen.My stance is non-judgmental, supportive, interested, curious and concerned. I am comfortable with people and I accept and understand their insecurities, fears, doubts and quirks.

My focus in treatment is to understand you as a whole person, to uncover with you your deepest desires, aversions and patterns of behavior that may be holding you back. In a welcoming and non-judgmental environment, you will discover who you are and what you authentically desire. Through the therapeutic process, you will be enabled to lead a more meaningful life and to establish more fulfilling relationships with healthier communication skills. We will work together to identify problems and solutions, and to help you be more effective overall in making decisions and reaching your goals.

Deciding to start therapy is a courageous act. I understand how difficult it is to acknowledge that change cannot wait. The idea of letting someone you have never met into such vulnerability—and entrusting that person to embrace it and nurture it—feels daunting. I honor the opportunity to accept your weaknesses while working with you to uncover and fortify your unique strengths. By exploring the roots of an issue—whether it is family conflict or an eating disorder—I will guide you towards a shift in perspective and behavior that will result in a happier, more easeful existence

I enjoy an active, collaborative approach with my clients, helping them to develop effective coping strategies, improving their ability to get a better understanding of themselves, and an appreciation of their strengths. I help my clients make the most of their potential for happiness and satisfaction in their personal and professional lives. My clients struggle with relationship and professional issues. They are able to articulate what they are feeling and thinking, curious to develop insight, and motivated to change negative patterns.

Congratulations.You've made the first step. It usually takes a lot of courage. I would like to help you on this difficult and exciting journey into the land of self knowledge and change. I have been helping people to change their lives for more than 25 years and I have had a lot of training that enables me to help adults and children,couples, families and individuals to realize their full potential and to find peace within themselves. I am a certified interpersonal psychoanalyst, clinical social worker and psychologist.I speak English, Russian and some Hebrew .
