MultiPlan Private Healthcare Systems (PHCS) Therapists in New York, NY
In the current society we live in, buzzwords from the psychology field are being used widely. This has allowed for a drastic change in how therapy is perceived. From that, something else surfaced: the concept of modern loneliness, an issue that seems to be all around us like an invisible, yet quantifiable, statistic. We constantly hear about self-care, self-worth, self-love and boundaries as remedies for all challenges we face. The need for connection with the self is essential to a healthy life but to what extent have we decided the focus on the self will lead us to relatedness and responsibility for others?

Many of us worry that we'll never be found by the world or by another person in the way that we want to be. There is a word for this: loneliness, and I believe it's at the root of addiction, depression, stress, anxiety, and our struggle to feel that we matter. In my first year of training, for example, I worked with refugees and other forced migrants; every area of their lives was impacted by their unmooring. But we are all owed a sense of mattering, and we deserve to feel that we belong.

Meaningful change happens when you feel both deeply understood and empowered to author what comes next. Therapy can be an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reclaim the parts of your story that may have been shaped by systems, fear, pressure, or survival. You deserve a space where your complexity is honored and your healing journey is customized for your own unique path of becoming.

Our desire is not always clear and can paralyze us. This can create discomfort or suffering that we don't really understand or can't make sense of. Our jobs, friends, families and relationships can suffer because of this. I work with adults, adolescents, and children experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, panic, overwhelming feelings or moods, and obsessional compulsions amongst others. I also work with people going through changes or periods of questioning in their identity and sexuality.

Life is full of abundant opportunities that are within your reach. However, there are times when it can feel as though you are watching the world go by from a passenger seat - perhaps you find yourself not acting in your own self-interest or are overloaded by the noise of a cluttered mind.

Is your adolescent or young adult struggling with emotional ups and downs, social isolation, low self-esteem, behavioral or academic challenges, or rigid thinking? As a parent, watching your child face obstacles that leave them feeling isolated or overwhelmed is heartbreaking. Adolescents often become trapped in rigid patterns of control that can be difficult to break—but with the proper support, they can develop self-worth, resilience, and stronger relationships while improving academic success. I work closely with parents, offering guidance and tools to create a path toward emotional well-being, and stronger family connections.
