Kassia Robinson Ringell
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I have experience with the treatment of anxiety, depression and life stressors using various clinical approaches including ACT,
somatic
informed, mindfulness, psychodynamic and systems.
As a trauma informed generalist, my ideal client will be open to working with different modalities but is comfortable with discussing the mind-body connection as well as a systems perspective. I am most interested in working with clients who carry multiple identities (racial, gender, sexual) as I will maintain infinite curiosity about the many parts of you. Deepening self awareness and making meaning out of difficult lived experiences is what drives me in my pursuit of helping others. Acceptance of what is and an understanding of self is the key to real empowerment. I hope to be a guide in your journey toward recovery.
Rachel Grossman
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
My holistic therapeutic approach emphasizes the mind-body-spirit connection and is informed by modalities including mindfulness based psychotherapy,
Somatic
Experiencing (SE), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Are you a creative, highly sensitive person? Do you feel things more deeply than those around you? Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by life, more than others? Perhaps you feel "different" or struggle with feeling like you’re never good enough? Whatever challenges you might be facing, I am here to offer you support and a safe space that is filled with kindness, compassion, and zero judgement.
Maria Kratsios
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MA
Verified
I have extensive training in cognitive, behavioral and
somatic
treatment approaches such as DBT, CPT for PTSD, IFS, SE and Psychodrama.
I am the Founder and Chief Clinical Officer of Kratsios Psychotherapy, a fast-growing, premier provider of evidence-informed treatment for PTSD and Developmental Trauma. Our mission is to heal the psychological and neurological processes that interfere with our patients’ capacity to live their best lives. We offer an integrative approach to treatment anchored in polyvagal theory, matching therapeutic interventions to the ways in which trauma is manifesting in our patients’ lives. We collaboratively create treatment plans to align with our patients' goals and revisit these to integrate new information and assess for progress.
Erik Yazdani
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MPA/MBA
I practice psychodynamic therapy that is also integrated with other modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy and
somatic
experiencing.
Inevitably, we all encounter periods in our lives in which what we've learned to that point isn't sufficient for the challenges we now face. I believe therapy can be a rich environment in which to better understand ourselves and the world and to revisit what we want in life and how to get there. Whether you are dealing with significant anxiety or depression, or simply need a new environment to learn your way through new challenges with a helping eye and ear, I bring a creative, curious and open-minded approach to helping you progress through life's challenges.
Terry LaFrazia
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I offer an individualized relational approach that integrates mindfulness practices, EMDR and
somatic
awareness.
The more you see your options instead of acting out of habit, the more control you have over your life.
I focus on building a collaborative therapeutic realtionship; from this relationship the process of healing, change and growth occurs.
Zohara Taragin
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Verified
My skills come from significant training in: Relational psychoanalytic therapy, Trauma focused modalities informed by brain research (incl EMDR, IFS and other
somatic
interventions), Family systems, Couples therapy, Mindfulness and CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy).
Regardless of what you are dealing with, I believe in the potential to harness your inner resources to heal and grow. Connecting deeply with the right therapist can help you get to where you want to be. When you become more aware of what is going on consciously and unconsciously in your mind and body, you can be more effectual, less anxious and/or depressed, and have more energy and joy in your life. As I get to know you and we create a safe and meaningful relationship, we can make fundamental changes that will have a lasting effect.
Sonia Alexander
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Verified
I create an open, empathetic, non-judgmental space and draw from a variety of philosophies and modalities including: psychodynamic, CBT, trauma-informed,
somatic
, feminist and relational approaches, and art and play therapy. I bring an awareness of and curiosity about the impacts of systemic oppression, historical trauma, and early childhood experiences, to work with you to move towards goals of your choosing, whether those be internal or external. I have worked most with teens, parents, families, and young adults, from a variety of race and class backgrounds, and in particular Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.
Martine Wisotsky
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I use
Somatic
Experiencing, a method of working through the legacy of trauma that gets stored in the body.
It can be difficult to reach out for professional help; I hope to make the process as smooth as possible. Whether you're struggling with relationships, life transitions, depression, anxiety, or managing emotions, we can work together to help you live a more fulfilling life. My style is warm and non-judgmental, while not shying away from asking the necessary questions to get at the root of issues. I believe in the importance of considering how race, culture, gender and social context influence life experience. I have a specialty in treating trauma and use approaches that heal the effects of trauma on the mind, body, and spirit.
Jill Plevan
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, LAC
Verified
I am trained in Focusing Oriented Therapy (FOT) which is a
somatic
approach that helps us listen to the authentic self.
Making change takes intention and courage. Finding meaning in everyday life and living in a way that we yearn to is no small task! I work with adults who wish to create change and feel happier in their lives. This could mean issues surrounding transition into adulthood, dating and relationships, professional goals, life transitions, work/family balance, parenting, long term relationships with partners. I have expertise in supporting family members of a loved one struggling with addiction. I also have an interest in family members touched by adoption.
Charlotte Elkin
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-R
Verified
Sometimes life's challenges, transitions, or conditions are more than we can handle. Feelings of sadness or fear overwhelm. We realize that the way we are living is not how we want to live but are unable to make changes on our own. Unhealthy relationships, dealing with disappointment or loss, feeling alone, or struggling with an inner critic, are a few examples of what leads people to reach out to me. In my practice I largely employ the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as my framework but also draw techniques from CBT, EMDR, DBT, mindfulness,
somatic
experiencing, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, when needed.
Jessica Linick
Psychologist, PhD, SEP
Verified
My work is informed by a gentle, resiliency-based model called
Somatic
Experiencing®, though I utilize many other evidence-based methods.
Difficult life experiences, whether they happen once or are ongoing, can leave us feeling isolated and disconnected, both from others, and from ourselves. It can be hard to find pleasure in relationships, hobbies, families, or careers, or to even simply just "be" as we are. I view therapy first and foremost as a way to reconnect and be curious about ourselves; to find a place of safety, connectedness, and support from which we can begin to explore who we are, how we came to be, and where we want to go. As sessions progress, I aim to help you find resilience, movement, ease, stillness, or freedom, wherever you may need it.
Rob Walls
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Verified
I make a point of allowing the work to unfold free of any preconceived notions, and utilize techniques from the theoretical traditions of psychodynamic,
somatic
, and attachment-oriented therapies.
Everyone, regardless of their age, has the potential for significant growth and positive change. This deeply held belief forms the bedrock of both my professional and personal life. I approach my work from a place of empathy, humility, and attentiveness. Many people struggle with anxiety, self-doubts, unhelpful behaviors, and difficulties in their relationships. By working with the right therapist it allows you to create the necessary space to explore and address these struggles in a spirit of curiosity, non-judgment, and self-compassion.
Anna Kuyumcuoglu
Art Therapist, MA, LCAT , ATR-BC, CCEP
Verified
Challenges can be treated from the mind (CBT, DBT) but incorporating body/mind
somatic
practices helps build lasting sense of self and self esteem.
I am a licensed clinical psychotherapist with over 13 years experience working with adults and children. If you are seeking treatment for trauma, anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, family challenges, relationship issues and/or emotional/mental challenges you have found the right place. This is a collaborative process, which means, I work in partnership with you, throughout the treatment, adjusting the intentions and focus of therapy as needed. I see myself as a guide, a facilitator, educator, and support person to offer you a safe place where you can start learning how to overcome obstacles and live a more fulfilling life.
Amy Vent
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I offer a number of interventions based on the specific goals and needs of each client such as dialectical behavior therapy or DBT, cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, most commonly known as EMDR,
somatic
experiencing, and mindfulness practices.
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. When I initially meet with people and ask "what brings you in?" they often say "I'm feeling stuck, stressed, angry, in my head, can't sleep, or having trouble with relationships." If you've been feeling any of these things, you're not alone and I commend you for even considering therapy. It's not an easy step to take, but one that's well worth it because things can get better. I'm a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with people who face challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, addiction, and attention and concentration.

Sivan Baron

Therapy is a collaborative process. I help my clients clarify their goals, and together we identify and explore conscious and unconscious obstacles that keep them frustrated. I utilize insight, cognitive behavioral strategies and techniques based in

Susan R Epstein
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

I work well with clients who are ready to deal actively with their issues and see real progress. Whether with individuals, couples, families or as a leader of group therapy, I combine psychoeducation and an eclectic mix of techniques from traditional talk therapy, psychodrama, EFT,
Somatic
Experiencing and mind-body techniques to provide the right help for each client. I have been conducting all my sessions remotely by videochat or phone, but hope to start seeing some clients in person soon, most likely on Mondays in Manhattan.

Experiencing Trauma Institute, and the Training Institute for Mental Health.
If you need help with depression, anxiety, or traumatic experience, I am grateful that you're in search of a good therapist. You might be someone who struggles with self-confidence or self-esteem and you tend to put the needs and desires of others before your own - don't do that today. Contact me, and invest in your emotional well-being.
Stacy Malin
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
As a relational psychoanalyst, trained couples therapist and
Somatic
Experiencing (SE) and EMDR-trained practitioner, I offer a multi-dimensional toolkit to meet the needs of each individual or couple.
I enjoy engaging individuals and couples seeking a supportive, active, direct, honest collaboration. My goal is to both address uncomfortable, painful conflict or struggles and facilitate more enlivened, loving connections to self and others. Individuals come in confronting challenges in love, work, family, health, school, trauma or loss. In couples therapy, I work with partners young and old, seeking early relationship or premarital counseling or bumping up against difficulty with intimacy and/or sex, parenting partnership, betrayal, infertility, remarriage, step-parenting, money or retirement, and/or on the brink of a break-up.
