Suicidal Ideation Therapists in New York, NY

My concern as a psychotherapist is establishing trust and security between my patient and myself. I treat the patient's symptoms with attention to symptom origins, and work to change character and personality traits that impair relationships and achievement: trust, attachment, healthy dependency and assertiveness. I treat adolescents and adults.

I believe in hope and I’ve witnessed firsthand the power of hope to change someone’s trajectory. For the last 13 years, I’ve worked in various therapeutic roles in NYC, advocating for marginalized communities and working to instill hope where it's needed most. I believe in kindness, compassion, and understanding. I want my clients to have a chance to learn internal kindness, and to ultimately see themselves through a lens of self-love and self-acceptance. If you’re struggling with doubt, anxiety, insecurity, or depression, you deserve to talk to someone and start your healing journey towards self-compassion.

I am a Jewish, queer, neurodivergent therapist. It is my goal to provide a safe and warm environment where my clients can explore areas of their lives that cause distress. We can work together to identify unacknowledged emotions, fears, desires, and entrenched patterns so that you can live a life worth living. I am motivated in helping any client who is struggling. I bring a great deal of empathy and understanding to people who are struggling with mental health issues and it would be a privilege to come along on the journey of healing with you.

Celebration of our authentic selves can create a space for healing. Acting in line with our values can build a platform of self-love. Setting and achieving our goals can instill a sense of agency and purpose in our lives. I aim to serve as a support for empowerment through self-discovery, self-acceptance, skill-building and becoming your best. We will collaborate in the pursuit of your self-defined therapy goals and do so with an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens.

Therapy is a courageous investment in yourself. It’s not always easy, so I prioritize creating a warm and nonjudgmental healing environment that balances acceptance and change. As a queer Latinx therapist, I believe each person is the expert of their own life, and I encourage my clients to decide for themselves what their life worth living looks like.

Offering help for depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, stress and burnout. Working with adults, college & grad students and professionals, including therapists, people in sensitive and high-profile roles for whom discretion & privacy are paramount.

Dealing with overwhelming emotions and stress can often be an isolating experience, but it does not have to be. My goal as a clinician is to create a safe setting for healing through compassion, understanding, and trust. Our work together will focus on gaining a stronger understanding of yourself while obtaining skills and techniques to forge meaning through difficult moments in life. I believe that high quality therapy comes from a customized approach by taking evidence-based methodologies and tailoring them to an individual’s personality and needs.

I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at Yeshiva University and psychoanalytic training at New York University. I have been in private practice for over 20 years, treating adolescents and adults. Most of the people I see, seek treatment to get help with difficulties in relationships. In psychotherapy, we identify repetitive patterns that interfere with the initiation and/or maintenance of intimate relationships. I also work with people who experience anxiety or depressive states.

You are not alone. You are not powerless. You are not too much. You are worthy of love. You can begin again. Your voice matters. Change is possible. You survived before and you will survive again. It is not all in your head. You can have an abundant life in the midst of disappointment. What you say to yourself has more impact than what they say to you. If any of these statements resonate with you, then look no further.

Many children and adults are immersed in struggling to cope with post covid reactions. The isolation of lockdown and COVID itself has caused lingering symptoms of depression, anxiety, fatigue and ambivalence about re-engaging with others and with activities that are life affirming. To compound matters we are witnessing the slaughter of innocent human beings at the mercy of a mass murderer. Don't delay in seeking help if you are struggling to make sense of your life. Bring your partner, family or your friend group for a session. You and those you bring might be surprised by the therapeutic benefit of even one meeting.

My practice is gentle and focused on supporting you in helping yourself. I offer supportive counseling and empowerment by promoting self-help and self-compassion. My therapy approach includes exploring meaning of what is happening in the here-and-now, what happened before, and in helping you figure out "what now?". Maybe you feel stuck and unsure how to navigate a life transition or adjustment. I work with individuals, couples, and families on healing the ripple effects of trauma, addiction, codependency, and grief. I believe in healing at any age, at any stage.

The evidence based practice movement in medicine relies on the latest scientific evidence to inform clinical practice. Therapy should be no different. Here, we will work as a team to understand your goals and figure out how to to attain them using the latest research. And, we will monitor your progress while we do it.

Does your child have problems regulating his or her emotions? Do they go from 0-100 in no time and are they prone to frequent behavioral and emotional outbursts? Have you noticed a change in him or her? Are you concerned that your child might be unhappy? I offer a warm, genuine, and skillful approach to treatment in which children/adolescents learn that its ok to be emotional. That being sensitive is not a bad thing at all . Although others may not understand , I will sit with you, listen, observe, and we will ride this journey together. I have helped thousands of families to heal. Let me offer you the same hope.

I am a clinicial psychologist providing dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to adolescents and adults struggling with emotion dysregulation (e.g., borderline personality disorder, trauma, depression, anxiety). I have experience using individual, group, family, parent, and milieu treatments with children, adolescents, and adults.

Life can be challenging, especially when feelings of pain, confusion, sadness, and anxiety seem to hold us back. If you're experiencing moments of feeling stuck or overwhelmed, know that you are not alone. Sometimes, receiving an external perspective and validation can help you better understand yourself and embrace that person confidently. I offer tools for empowerment, confidence, and peace.

I believe life is about finding balance between acceptance and growth. As a therapist I work with clients from pre-adolescence to later adulthood struggling to create the life they want to live. First and foremost, my job is to help you reach YOUR goals, and, sometimes, help you figure out what exactly those are. I primarily treat individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, OCD, emotion dysregulation, personality disorders, relationship issues, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions. Additionally, I have experience working with executive dysfunction/ADHD, learning disabilities, and family conflict.

I have a particular interest in helping people with personality and relationship problems. In therapy I try to create an environment where patients will feel safe sharing and exploring all their thoughts and feelings about themselves, so that we can trace how these affect their daily experiences. To do this we may also examine the person's moment to moment experience in therapy. Understanding the interactions between internal assumptions on the one hand, and feelings and behavior, on the other,leads to a more stable sense of self and the possibility of different choices.

Being a person is not easy. We are challenged everyday. Feelings of anxiety and depression are part of being a human being. The great skill is learning how to deal with these uncomfortable emotions. We can control how we think and act, but most people need encouragement, support, and knowledge to do this. As your therapist, I can support and guide you through this process. In addition I can teach you how to accept yourself with all your strengths and weaknesses and help you to identify and achieve your goals.

Talking to an experienced therapist can help improve your life. I welcome the opportunity to work with you in a collaborative and nonjudgmental way to better understand what is getting in the way of having the life you want.
