Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in New York, NY

Hi there and welcome. I am a licensed psychotherapist in New York, New Jersey and Colorado. I respect your courage and investment in time to be willing to look within and make changes. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to identify flawed schemas that no longer serve you, get unstuck and to work together to build new patterns of being. I'm not the kind of therapist who nods & asks: "How do you feel about that?" I work in an "interpersonal solution-focused collaborative" format.

Life is full of challenges! And while we work through and overcome many obstacles that come our way, there are times when we feel too overwhelmed to manage them on our own. Challenges can take many forms, whether as regular self-criticism, fear, depression, shame, managing chronic pain, processing a loss, conflict with someone important in our lives, or surviving abuse. These forms of suffering deserve kindness, understanding, and support. The right guidance can help us move through and decrease these symptoms so we can feel greater contentment and connection.

Life can be challenging and sometimes those challenges can interfere with your relationships, work, goals and your overall wellbeing. You have taken the first step by seeking therapy and I am here to help. I am a Licensed Psychotherapist in several States, offering tele-therapy and I am here to help you address your concerns including eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, maternal mental health, addiction, relationship issues and parenting. I am licensed in NY, TX, NJ, PA, NC, AL and IN. I offer a collaborative and supportive setting to promote your emotional wellness and help you achieve transformative change.

Imagine feeling less shame and more connected to those around you. Imagine having more space from your inner critic/judge while having more patience and compassion for yourself and others. Imagine moving from perceptions of “not good enough” to feeling more "whole". Feeling less confused and more confident and clear about yourself and important life goals/decisions. Imagine unburdening from past traumas that still negatively impact your life and present relationships, shifting from helplessness to empowerment and healing from painful past hurts and moving forward with more connection, clarity, love, compassion and safety.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in the treatment of sexual addiction and compulsivity. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches including Internal Family Systems ( IFS ), EMDR, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based practices to help people regain agency in their lives. I work with people struggling with addiction, as well as their partners and loved ones who may be affected by the addiction. My practice provides individual therapy, couples therapy, and process-oriented group therapy.

As a trained Internal Family Systems therapist, I work with people who are open and ready for profound life changes through new perspectives, more successful, intimate connections in relationships, and an awakening toward how they perceive or define their sense of selves. I have had the honor of working with a great diversity of individuals and couples who commit to understanding and healing historically painful patterns and reactions, while uncovering a more confident, compassionate and peaceful sense of self.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY currently providing video psychotherapy sessions. I see teens, adults, and couples who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, academic stressors, and identity development. I approach psychotherapy holistically, integrating models such as Internal Family Systems Theory, The Ackerman Relational Approach, and Trauma Theory. Working in an environment focused on social justice, it is important to me to be able to help clients navigate issues related to experiences of racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and sexism.

I work hard to be a strong ally and advocate who believes transformation comes through a collaborative process. My goal is to teach clients to learn to recognize their strengths — to be their own best friends, champions, defenders, and cheerleaders. I like to help my clients to think of how internalized pressures of societal and cultural norms and expectations create added stress in their lives. of course, challenging norms and expectations are hard. But first-hand experience doing just that gives me a unique perspective and the opportunity to help others do the same so they can embrace what truly makes them happy.

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.

IFS Therapist with an eclectic and inventive approach. Practicing Internal Family Systems Therapy ( IFS ) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I believe that people already have within themselves what they need in order to overcome their struggles. All it takes is a bit of guidance and someone to ask the right questions. My wish for my clients is that they find the inner freedom to live the life that they want. I mostly work with expats, travelers, digital nomads, burners - I can relate to the lifestyle and can appreciate the need for flexibility and rescheduling sessions when necessary, however, anyone is welcome.

Hi, if you are looking for a open minded, warm, & hard working therapist then I might be a good fit for you. I'm an English & Spanish speaking clinical social worker who works with adults, teens, and sometimes children. My practice focuses primarily on healing anxiety, depression, & trauma throughout life. I'm interested in taking an integrative approach to therapy by combining clients needs with traditional Western psychology such as: talk therapy, play therapy, art therapy, internal family systems ( IFS ), & nature therapy with ancient Eastern traditions such as meditation & Tibetan Buddhism.

I believe we each have a core part of ourselves that is wise, confident, and desiring of secure connection with others. Single event or repeated traumatic experiences can distance us from this core part and we can find ourselves using coping mechanisms, such as excessive substance use and other self-harming behaviors, that no longer serve us or our relationships. Identifying the needs we are desperately trying to meet and exploring alternate ways to meet them can disrupt the cycle that keeps us feeling defeated and lead us towards more fulfilling relationships with ourselves and those we care about.

When so much feels uncertain, I am here to help you find your way from fatigue and overwhelm to peace and acceptance. The dedicated time and space of our sessions and a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship will support you in creating the fulfilling relationships and experiences you are longing for. I bring my background as a mindful-living coach to my work as a therapist, and I love to support clients who are seeking to cultivate more compassion for themselves and within their relationships. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, no matter what is currently taking center stage in their lives.

These past several years have been so difficult, and it's hard to capture the words for all of the unique experiences everyone has had. For many, however, it could feel as though life is out of control. We can feel fear, anxiety, stress, helplessness, sadness or exhaustion, and sometimes all at once. This can become overwhelming and prevent us from living our lives fully. If you have been experiencing any of these feelings, I am so glad you are here and looking into how you can help to manage them.

I approach therapy like a tuning fork - a space to find recurring resonance with who you are at your core. A place to gain a deeper understanding of the aspects of your mind and life that keep you feeling stuck. A relationship where you can experience acceptance, honesty, and raw expression.
