Veterans Therapists in New York, NY

Life's challenges, past traumas or present stresses, can make us feel very overwhelmed. Deeply affecting our lives, relationships, and overall well-being. But you don't have to navigate it alone! I support adults in navigating trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, family conflicts, loss, depression, and anxiety, often focusing on how childhood trauma influences adulthood. Together we’ll decipher the intricate patterns of behavior that may be holding you back and grapple with hard emotions. By letting things unravel, past and present experiences, you will rediscover yourself and create the path towards transformative change.

Looking for an affirming, safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself? Together we can work through whatever challenges you are facing to meet goals that have seemed difficult to attain. My intention is to pave the way toward healing, acceptance of your full authentic self, and long-term growth. Drawing on knowledge from queer, and critical race theory, we will work collaboratively to help you navigate systemic issues and its impact on your intersecting identities.

If you are struggling and feeling stuck, lasting change can begin right here and now! I’m Dr. Larissa Tate, a Clinical Psychologist with years of experience and specialize in working with people to overcome sleep difficulties, anxiety, and trauma. I believe therapy should be rooted in authenticity, compassion, and connection and I aim to collaboratively engage in a therapy process that is goal-directed and solution-focused so that we can achieve the changes you want to see. I strive to join my clients in figuring out why and how they've become "stuck," and then helping them move forward towards value and meaning.

Are you caught between competing identities, beliefs, and desires? Are you struggling to heal from trauma, overcome despair, or maintain boundaries? Do you find yourself socially or politically misunderstood by those around you? Do you repeat the same unsatisfying patterns in work, friendship, and relationships? Together, we can explore all this in a curious, collaborative, non-judgmental way. All feelings and beliefs are welcome, no matter how confusing or contradictory they may seem at first. I believe that the best therapy is affirming yet challenging, and built on trust, joy, and humor. It's never too late to try.

As a couple's psychotherapist with deep roots in cultural studies and contemplative psychotherapy, I am committed to helping you navigate the complexities of emotions and relationships that define our human experience. Often in life, feelings of sadness, confusion, or disconnection can overwhelm us. It’s easy to feel stuck—burdened by emotions that seem too dense to untangle or escape. We might find ourselves criticizing our own thoughts, pushing away loved ones, and losing sight of our innate vibrancy and creativity. But there is a way through this. Change is not only possible; it is within your grasp.

I have extensive experience working with young adults striving to live intentional lives full of purpose and meaning in a chaotic world they did not make. My clients experience low self-esteem, cross-generational conflict, anxiety about the future, and sadness about the past. We explore experiences regarding family, feeling loved in intimate relationships, communicating effectively, and questioning spirituality. The clients I work with want to be seen for who they are while feeling comfortable in their skin.

My expertise lies in working with clients who are tackling life's greatest challenges such as grief, trauma, anxiety, chronic illness and depression.

The work we do together will be intentional and help you. Together we will face the unimaginable events that have changed who you are at your core. We will work through the complexities of your pain, anger, guilt, and resentment and create a path toward healing.

My goal as your therapist is to provide the best service I can through a personally tailored approach! Thriving instead of just surviving.

I believe authentic relationships are the key to authentic healing. We all have experienced pain, struggles, or difficult transitions in our lives, but we have not always had the opportunity to reflect, heal, and learn from these moments within the context of a close and safe environment. I believe that a collaborative and therapeutic relationship can be a life-changing experience as it helps you process current and past pains, become more self-aware, develop more meaningful relationships, and experience thriving in your life.

With my experience working with adults, I understand that any challenges you face deserve the space for someone who can listen and support you. Do you feel lost or without purpose? Are you having relationship issues with your partner? Is your goal to better understand and accept yourself in this new identity? My intention is to understand your perspective and help you enhance your own day-to-day happiness and overall stability.

Starting therapy requires bravery and vulnerability. As someone who has been on both sides of the equation – clinician and client – I want to make this act of courage on your part as comfortable as possible. I know what it feels like to share my experiences with a clinician and have them respond back to me with kindness, openness, and acceptance – sometimes simply by saying “You went through all that? Me too.” As your therapist, I’ll work with you to identify any thoughts, behaviors, emotions, or limiting beliefs preventing you from living a meaningful, joyful life.

Seeking strength, understanding, and a path forward? I'm not your typical therapist. I've walked the walk that you have, not just once, but twice. As a former Marine and law enforcement officer, I know firsthand the pressures, traumas, and unique challenges faced by those in service and beyond. Now, I leverage my experience and clinical expertise to guide individuals grappling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and the invisible wounds of trauma.

As a clinical therapist my best approach in the helping process is through empathy, active listening as well as a supportive environment.

Perhaps you worry excessively or and feel too stuck due to the emotional exhaustion this is causing. Sometimes one's past can disrupt one's quality of life with feelings of anxiety and/or depression. You will learn ways to cope with these intense feelings and become aware of the thoughts that cause you to feel this distress.

Before I became a psychotherapist, I had a career as a professional diplomat, and I served in different countries. Having been exposed to diverse cultures in the course of my life, I am particularly attuned to the varieties of narratives that shape people’s identities and relationships with self and others. In my work with each client, I aim to bring my unique personal and professional perspectives into our therapeutic dialogue. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore how old patterns—that might no longer serve them—repeat in the present and foreclose future growth.

I believe in taking a collaborative approach infused with warmth, sensitivity, and compassion to tailor treatment to your unique needs.
