Jewish Therapists in New York, NY

I believe the therapeutic relationship can be both healing and empowering. I use a person centered, strengths-based approach to help each person best reach their goals. Together we create a warm, safe, and genuine space that each person can use to gain self-awareness and feel supported. We work to eliminate distress and facilitate personal growth to help the client reach their individual goals. Throughout this process, I place great importance on understanding the impact of a person’s identity, culture, and environment to best support them. I also believe collaboration, creativity, and humor are essential to the process!

My goal as a psychotherapist is to help you work through difficult experiences, traumas, or symptoms that may be holding you back. I believe that emotional pain can lead to anxiety, shame, and self-doubt. These feelings keep us feeling stuck and inhibit vital parts of ourselves. I strive to help my clients develop more compassion and curiosity toward their experiences so they can learn new ways of coping and achieve greater satisfaction, self-confidence, and authenticity.

Wouldn't it be great if your therapist didn't just listen to you, but helped YOU listen to yourself? You know, that Self that gets lost among all your responsibilities and commitments and social media and stress and all the things you tell yourself...all that stuff that makes you feel fragmented and overwhelmed. I love helping people discover themselves amidst the noise of life. Understanding yourself is the key to getting "unstuck" and moving towards success, healing, and growth.

Hi, my name is Nicholas. I’m a Latinx, Middle Eastern, Jewish , and queer Psychotherapist. My multicultural upbringing, experiences with immigration, and being from a low-income household have inspired me to help people who experience systematic violence because of how they identify. I provide a supportive, authentic space where we can dive into root causes of problems, and utilize social justice and trauma-informed approaches. I’ve worked with people of all ages in English and Spanish on issues surrounding their LGBTQ+ identities, substance use, violence, abuse, complex diagnoses, forced migration, and family systems.

“I’m so sad.” “I’m stuck.” “I’m lonely.” “I hate my life.” “I’m nervous about everything.” If these sentiments sound familiar, you have just taken the first step toward change. I have specialized training in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. I have unique experience in treating men and women with relationship issues as well as those contemplating, or in the process of, divorce. I have worked extensively with religiously observant individuals of the Catholic and Jewish faith, negotiating the tension between modern contemporary life and religious practice.

I moved to Seattle in 2017 after spending the previous ten years on the East Coast in New York City and Washington, DC. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska as a Jewish gay kid who always felt “out of place” in a community where these identities were largely invisible. I also lost my mother to cancer at the tender age of 16 while attempting to accept my gay identity. As a therapist, these experiences have helped me develop resiliency and to better understand how oppressive systems can create feelings of loneliness, isolation, despair, and hopelessness.

Therapy builds resilience in body, mind and spirit. Do you intend to take the next step in building a life you love? I work to nurture the individual power and promise held within each person. For Adults seeking relief from anxiety, giving some space for your “Inner Child” is one way to begin healing unresolved issues from your family of origin. Activating the brain and body by combining talk therapy with body awareness can help you move forward with fuller energy. I am a therapist of Jewish descent welcoming clients of many cultures and backgrounds.

I am a Jewish , queer, neurodivergent therapist. It is my goal to provide a safe and warm environment where my clients can explore areas of their lives that cause distress. We can work together to identify unacknowledged emotions, fears, desires, and entrenched patterns so that you can live a life worth living. I am motivated in helping any client who is struggling. I bring a great deal of empathy and understanding to people who are struggling with mental health issues and it would be a privilege to come along on the journey of healing with you.

I am a psychodynamically-trained therapist who is interested in hearing about past experiences where patterns might have occurred in your life. Coming from a Relational-Cultural and Feminist lens, I believe that cultivating a strong therapeutic relationship is at the utmost importance in order to provide a safe environment to build upon your own narrative.

Having worked as a labor doula for six years, I realized what I loved most about birth work was creating a safe and supportive container for my clients to figure out what they truly needed. Shifting into my work as a therapist felt like a natural transition in so many ways; I love listening, holding space for curiosity and vulnerability, and supporting the journey of growth and healing.

I intimately understand how healing from trauma can be emotionally fraught, draining, and tedious. My hope is to help you shoulder these burdens so that you don’t have to go through such emotional difficulties alone. I am queer, non-monogamous, Jewish , and radically sex positive; I work hard to affirm folks of these and other marginalized identities. My therapeutic approach actively endeavors to dismantle ways in which homophobia, fatphobia, sex negativity, and neurotypical hegemony may impede the healing process. You are the expert of your own experience and our work together will reflect that.

I practice psychotherapy with a collaborative and integrative approach by curating evidence-based practices that work in accordance with each client’s needs and styles of treatment. Primarily, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Theory, Object Relations, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My approach is strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I passionately work with clients to create a judgment-free space that, over time, becomes a haven for discussing intimate or traditionally taboo subjects.
