Out of Network Therapists in New York, NY

I am Rebecca, a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. My practice is fully virtual and all sessions are held via secure teletherapy platform. I am an LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC affirming provider. My approach is rooted in supporting the strength, resilience, and wisdom of the client.

My specialty is providing support to young adults who experience difficulties with life transitions, dating and relationships, self-esteem, and general anxiety. I empower my clients to take charge of their lives and create the life they truly desire and deserve.

Making that first call to a therapist takes real courage, but the rewards can be profound. In an environment of safety and collaboration, my clients gain deepened self-knowledge and tools to feel empowered to begin resolving the difficulties and symptoms that brought them into therapy. I provide therapy to teens and adults, helping to improve the quality of their lives. I specialize in trauma treatment. Trauma can present as unresolved emotional injuries from childhood, post traumatic stress, depression, anxiety and compulsive behaviors. I also practice EMDR. I run Seeking Safety groups for people with trauma and substance abuse.

Are you missing appreciation? Does he stonewall? Does she not stop criticizing? Anxious and having trust issues? Do you feel a lack of sexual desire? Fighting over sexual frequency? I can help you stop the negative cycle. Feel love again. Feel intimate again. Trained explicitly as a marriage and family therapist, I am a highly trained and experienced couples therapist. I believe in a collaborative approach and skilled at creating tools to foster healthy connections between couples and families. Together, we repair your relationship by introducing new methods of communication to increase empathy and flexibility.

My client-centered approach is rooted in Art Therapy and Evidence-Based modalities. I specialize in helping children, teens, and young adults, ages 4-40, feel more confident and connected. My work is centered around the belief that people are fully deserving of respect, dignity, and a space where they can deeply feel heard. I facilitate a safe environment where feelings and experiences can be validated, and people can establish a sense of security and self-worth. I partner with children (and parents) to help them navigate their identity and sense of belonging in this world!

We often experience our greatest pains and joys in the context of our relationships with others. In my approach to therapy, I create a safe, supportive environment to assist exploration of emerging patterns and themes. I believe in building a collaborative treatment relationship. With increased awareness, people find they have more options for improving their relationships and meeting their life goals.

My approach to treatment is interactive and engaging. I find that clients appreciate and benefit from an active therapist that will help identify areas of difficulty and work on initiating changes rather than a passive, primarily listening approach to treatment. A comfortable fit between therapist and client is an essential part of successful work together. Consistent with that, I'm happy to do a phone consultation so you can get a sense of how I approach this process. In terms of insurance, if you have out-of-network benefits we should be able to make therapy affordable.

Have you wondered whether you would benefit from in-person therapy? I offer a phone consultation to answer any questions you may have. I can assist you in resolving challenges and becoming your own therapist by teaching you how to overcome obstacles to succeed. I am skilled at helping high-functioning adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career issues, addiction issues, academic issues, and goal attainment. My approach is solution-focused. Sessions are tailored to your specific needs. I am approachable and genuine. My clients usually see reduced symptoms and improved well-being early on in treatment.

We are a group of talented professionals, and we offer our clients a warm and deeply caring therapeutic relationship. Expert clinical supervision enriches the work of our therapists. The methods we use are active, and you will feel that you are making progress in each session. Our training and experience make it possible. Come and talk to us. Solutions and changes are within reach! At our Brooklyn locations, we also work with children, couples and families.

Most of the people that I work with are successful, intelligent people who are seeking to resolve problems in their everyday life. I have helped people with: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, workplace and career issues, finding a meaningful life direction, life transitions, and grief and loss. If you are unsure about therapy, a consultation is a useful step to clarify your needs and decide whether I as a therapist am a good fit for you.

Therapy is a space where the past and present can be looked at through new eyes, recontextualized and reunderstood. Far from an academic exercise, a safe therapeutic space that allows for this work can open new possibilities for self-directed living in the world and relating to others. I work with patients to illuminate, clarify, and construct a space where old ways of relating and entrenched patterns of suffering can be understood and moved beyond. While this experience can be challenging, it can also profoundly rewarding.

Are you seeking a culturally sensitive therapist who will not make stereotypical assumptions, but will honor your unique story, history and journey? Have you been told that therapy is for the weak or for those whose faith is not strong enough? Are you looking for a place where you can feel safe enough to say everything you need to without feeling as though you need to take care of the therapist?

"I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood." - Audre Lorde. As people, we have a deep need to be understood, and one of the most profound ways to do this is in a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I work with individuals & couples using a psychodynamic approach. My role is to help you identify your needs and put your inner experience at the center, engaging both mind and body, so that barriers to your well-being can be lifted.

I aspire to create a space that is welcoming, safe, non-judgmental, empathic and introspective. My goal is to help you learn about yourself and how you relate to others so that you can make positive improvements that are lasting. Therapy can be challenging; but my belief is that through this meaningful work you will develop a deeper sense of self and awareness of strengths that may have gone undiscovered to this point. In therapy, issues to be resolved will be addressed with the idea that self-awareness leads to choice, responsibility and change.

I help clients overcome frustrating relationship patterns, self-sabotaging behavior, and persistent depression and anxiety. In our sessions, you'll find a thoughtful, supportive, and creative environment where clients work at the pace most comfortable for them. My approach to therapy seeks to align an individual's feelings, values, and actions. Our emotions motivate our behavior, and when we want to change but seemingly can't, we're often working against our emotional selves. Clients work with me to tap the right motivation to meet their goals. I treat individuals, couples, and parents.

I work well with clients seeking help with stress management, relationship issues, goal attainment, or issues related to emotion and self-esteem. My ideal clients are professionals who are seeking results. In addition to my work with clients, I also provide practice building tools for clinicians. Although I am currently on sabbatical from psychotherapy clients, I do oversee my associates, Amanda Pelcher, LMFT and Grayson Stadler, LCSW. You can have a free consultation with my office to learn more. Send us an email or give us a call so we may assist you further!
