Psychoanalytic Therapists in New York, NY
I am a psychologist with more than 25 years experience working with clients with a variety of issues. Work/family and personal relationships often are complicated by difficulty feeling comfortable with strong feelings that these relationships and situations bring up. They're worth spending time to understand better so that they don't overwhelm us. My website is http://drcmerrill.info/

I take an integrative, supportive approach using CBT, DBT, and modern psychoanalytic therapy.
You may be exhausted from holding it all together; navigating identity, family expectations, emotional overwhelm, or past hurts that still echo in the present. You may be high-achieving on the outside yet struggling with self-doubt, burnout, loneliness, or feeling “too much” or “not enough.” If you’re LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, or navigating intersectional identities, you might also be carrying the weight of belonging, safety, and emotional survival in spaces that don’t always see you clearly. You deserve a space where your complexity is honored and your healing isn’t rushed.

I bring a warm and open-minded therapy setting so you can speak openly about your experiences. I bring understanding working with LGBTQ+ individuals, first and second-generation immigrants, sex workers, and those in non-monogamous relationships. I understand the importance of receiving affirming care that honors your unique identity and experiences. I want to hear your values and goals to help guide the direction of therapy.

My therapy philosophy values that no person is in need of "fixing" and that healing can be found in a space that centers listening, reflection, play, non-judgment, and curiosity. My aim is to deepen your personal wisdom and become more connected to your mind-body-spirit system. I am experienced working with clients who struggle with trauma recovery, gender dysphoria, neurodivergency, poly/CNM relationships, sexuality, substance use, oppression, disordered eating, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and grief.

I work with adults and teens who are navigating trauma, identity, career barriers, and complex relationships while managing high expectations at work and in life. Many of my clients are ambitious, thoughtful, and outwardly successful, yet feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected internally. My approach is trauma-informed, direct, and affirming, with a strong focus on emotional regulation, boundaries, and sustainable growth. I also work with couples seeking healthier communication, deeper connection, and repair. I provide LGBTQ+-affirming, sex-positive therapy that supports both personal healing and professional fulfillment.

I work with individuals and couples holistically, drawing from a blend of therapeutic approaches such as psychodynamic psychoanalytic, jungian, inner child work, IFS, CBT, attachment, and mind-body connection.
Hello, I'm Shauna, a psychoanalyst practicing in New York and New Jersey. Sessions together are dynamic, fun, rich and collaborative. Within each session lies an entire world, one which reflects threads, patterns, relationships, and beliefs, both past and present. Together, we can find connections, stay curious, and uncover the treasures within. My priority is to cultivate a warm and exploratory environment, where clients can reconnect with who they truly are and who they aspire to be through love, self-compassion, confidence, and acceptance.

I'm a senior Psychologist/ Psychoanalyst; having completed my Psychoanalytic Training at NYU PostDoctoral Program.
You are more powerful than you realize and often shape the outcomes you experience in life. Sometimes those outcomes are other than what you want; or they don't live up to your expectations. Your contributions may be unconscious, or perhaps rooted in ineffective thinking. I help you understand your contributions to those outcomes. My job: to help you own your power, think through, and shape your outcomes. How long will you be with me? Just long enough to get the job done; my career is in this office, not yours! My thinking is psychodynamic and work style, eclectic.

Many people choose to begin therapy because they want to feel better, be more successful at work, or have better relationships. Psychotherapy can be helpful in addressing the emotional or sometimes even physical pain that can get in the way of such goals. The kind of psychotherapy that I practice involves careful listening and exploration of one's difficulties and how those difficulties tend to repeat or consistently present in a variety of contexts. I work with clients that appreciate that lasting change is indeed possible, and have the courage to forgo the false promise of a "quick fix".

I practice an integrated approach to Psychotherapy. I believe in meeting the client where they are and applying myriad psychotherapeutic interventions as they are needed by each client, week to week. I blend Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Analysis, EMDR, Positive Psychology, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), CBT, and am well-versed in a range of Addiction recovery models spanning 12-step recovery, harm-reduction, and deep and reflective acknowledgment of the trauma experience that often has led to substance abuse and addiction, compulsive behaviors, and/or unwanted behaviors.

I approach therapy with curiosity, connection, insight, compassion, and a splash of humor. I aim to create an environment where you feel safe to explore, discover and embrace your truest and highest self. I believe an essential task of therapy is to foster reflection in order to develop self-awareness, leading to an increased ability to effectively navigate and enjoy life. I primarily practice through a relational and attachment-based psychodynamic lens. I believe that the relationship dynamics you have with yourself, others, and the world are the primary factors in both emotional well-being and emotional distress.

If you’re thinking about starting therapy, it probably means that something in your life doesn’t feel right anymore. Maybe it’s the way you’ve been feeling about yourself, or maybe it’s something in your relationships that just isn’t working. Whatever the reason, you don’t have to keep feeling stuck.
I’m a Clinical Psychologist with close to a decade of experience helping people find relief from their symptoms and make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives. I work with a wide range of concerns and specialize in helping couples, as well as individuals navigating mood difficulties or relationship challenges.

In addition to my graduate degree from NYU, I have advanced training as a psychoanalyst and am a graduate of the psychoanalytic institute, PPSC.
As a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst I work with adults, young adults and adolescents around issues of depression, anxiety, loss and trauma. My practice includes those who are at the edge of major life changes and those who feel themselves outside the norm. I work with survivors and children of survivors of trauma, whether inter-familial or war-related, as well as those who find themselves living in multiple worlds (cultural, socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, religious, etc.). Areas of focus include adoption, immigration, and identity.

Graduate of the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR) and Fellow of the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA)
Psychoanalysis is a unique experience in which one has a singular, protected space to explore the furthest reaches of one’s mind in all its complexity. In the context of an intimate, multi-dimensional, and transformative therapeutic relationship, a creative process develops as two people reflect together in a room. Narratives are shaken, and new language is forged in articulating what has hitherto remained indeterminate. We're all motivated to deaden certain feelings, thoughts, and sensitivities within ourselves, which comes at some cost to one’s ability to remain open to living a life creatively and free from compulsion.

Therapy can provide a path to relieving distress and gaining invaluable self awareness. I offer my patients a safe space through which they can better understand their feelings and experiences and develop skills to cope with stressors. I work predominantly as an insight-oriented therapist, helping patients understand how their upbringing and family of origin can inform their current difficulties. I also help patients examine problematic patterns of thought and behavior. I prefer to work collaboratively and regularly check in with my patients about how they are experiencing the process of therapy.

Therapy can help ... whether with a crisis, ongoing issues like anxiety or depression, or just a vague feeling that "I want more from life!" ... therapy provides a safe haven, and a skilled partner to help you find your way through life's struggles. Therapy can also be a great opportunity - a chance to get to know yourself in ways that few of us do in our day-to-day lives. Knowledge is a powerful tool, and understanding yourself more completely can give you the awareness needed to make better choices.
