Magellan Therapists in New York, NY

If you are feeling stuck in your everyday life and are looking for the chance to change, you are not alone. As a therapist, I am here to help you overcome feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I utilize elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness to target your thoughts/feelings and find coping skills to change them. My primary concern is for you to feel good about yourself from the inside out. In order do this, I provide clients with an opportunity to work on themselves through a strengths based, collaborative, goal focused approach.

Is your past having a negative impact on your life? Is it hurting your relationships or causing problems at work or school?

We then explore and elicit your unique strengths and resources in order to overcome the issues you are wanting help with.

There are times in life when there doesn't seem like a way out of emotional pain.

Life's journey can be full of unexpected turns. Relationships can go awry. Parenting, aging, illness and loss, demands for work and career can be stressful. Do you find yourself repeating and reliving destructive patterns, feeling overwhelmed, not getting sufficient joy in your life? It is hard to find a way out alone. Talking with a counselor about issues that trouble us is inherently helpful, especially when combined with methods that create calm and develop awareness of your own sensory and emotional life. We can work together.

Couples, whether married or dating, have issues and problems that arise when communication breaks down. This break down in communication leads to misunderstandings which result in anger, hurt, anxiety, depression, guilt, and feelings of hopelessness. We evaluate each person independently with a high level of professional expertise. For couples, there are times when separate therapy for one of the partners is necessary while marriage counseling continues concurrently. Individual psychotherapy or psychoanalysis is recommended when one of the partners is depressed or anxious and is struggling with their own personal problems.

Do you sometimes feel misunderstood or judged because you don't have mainstream beliefs or a cookie-cutter lifestyle? Have you hesitated going to therapy (even though a part of you would like to get a second opinion about issues that keep cropping up), because you thought the person wouldn't "get" you? Well, maybe I'm the right therapist for you. I came to NYC 1984 to see bands and explore art and then bartended in the E. Village for many years before becoming a therapist. I refuse to be pigeonholed so I won't do that with you.
