Self Esteem Therapists in Palisades, NY

Words are very powerful, and the way we think about life and the events of the day are crucial to our well-being. Everything starts from inside the brain. With the right thought process and the proper skills to cope when life gets tough, big changes can happen. This is the foundation of my career and what we teach to my clients. From our work with trauma victims to assisting new moms who are struggling with their recent life transition, we have learned the solution to achieving a happy life starts from within.

I start with listening and seek to cultivate a perspective that enlivens, enlightens and unburdens. I use an integrative psychoanalytic approach founded in curiosity and collaboration to address problems relating to trauma, depression, anxiety or self-esteem that can undermine ones ability to thrive interpersonally, creatively, sexually or professionally. Whether it's a life-change, a search for meaning, creative blocks, frustration with the quality of relationships or something else, I will meet you there. Through listening and talking, we will explore internal experience and how it impacts relating to oneself and others.

Psychotherapy can help you to develop greater self awareness, deepen connections with others, and create a personally meaningful life. I see myself as a concerned and nonjudgmental partner in this process. I try to foster an atmosphere of safety in which you experience a sense of freedom to think and feel. Maybe you are having trouble adjusting to a new change or are feeling stuck; perhaps you repeatedly find yourself in unhappy relationships or conflicts at work and struggle with low self-esteem. It may be that your familiar assumptions and modes of behaving, which originally developed out of need, are no longer working for you.

Holistic Psychotherapy - I work from a multi modal perspective in order to create change and deepen your relationship to self. I don’t offer cookie-cutter methods, I tailor therapy specifically to you and your needs, so that you can have a more effective, satisfying, and transformative experience. I truly believe that your potential for inner healing, empowerment, and wisdom is already in you. My mission is to help guide you back to these essential aspects of your self and their expression.

In a caring and supportive environment you are invited to begin a journey of healing and change. I will teach you new and effective ways to deal with the challenges in your life. You can change destructive and unsatisfying relationships into positive, fulfilling relationships. You can learn to take control of your emotions, your anger, and your self-destructive thinking. Anxiety and depression will be relieved.

The way in which people navigate the world is through experience. Many of us have had difficult experiences at different times in our lives which have contributed to the way in which we view the world and more importantly, ourselves. As such, most people carry negative views or beliefs about themselves that are simply not true. Until those beliefs are challenged in an effort to change them, we more often than not, experience emotional or psychological discomfort in many forms. Therapy is a space that serves to remind each individual of their ability to positively impact their lives by cultivating a more accepting view of themselves.

Finding the right match, someone who can attune and resonate with you is key to a successful psychotherapy experience. I have a wealth of 35 + years as a practicing psychotherapist, having worked with a diverse range of people facing a wide range of challenges. I pride myself in the ability to emotionally communicate, perhaps the main ingredient in effective therapy. It's as though I swim alongside you as you traverse challenging and important crossroads in your life.

Do you struggle with loss from death, divorce, relocation, aging, illness? Come out of isolation and heal. We will work together to move through your grief and find a resolution for your pain and a return to joyful living. Discover and work through your unfinished business, manage upsetting emotions and bring a balance to your thoughts and feelings. I'm a gestalt therapist, and my methods employ deep listening and creating scenarios to bring your issues to life during our sessions. Compassionate confrontation and education about emotions are central aspects of my work. And safety is my hallmark.

As a Spanish and English speaking therapist, I offer psychotherapy to clients of all ages who are struggling with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, relationship issues, and other life challenges. Through a warm, sensitive and genuine therapeutic relationship, my clients and I will talk and explore the most difficult moments of their lives and together, through cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, or solution-focused brief therapy, the clients will find solutions to a better life adjustment.

I've been seeing adults, adolescents and couples for psychotherapy for 30 years. I work actively to help people identify the conflicts and past issues that are keeping them from fulfilling themselves in happy lives. I'd be glad to meet with you to discuss your particular needs.

Being involved in the process of helping people deal with their struggles and difficulties in life is a privilege. Every individual is different, with different personalities and backgrounds, however with encouragement and support, we all have the ability to look within ourselves and move forward in our growth as human beings. I offer you a safe environment where together we can explore your inner conflicts that either have you stuck, or prevent you from being as happy as you deserve to be.

I believe that we all deserve the opportunity to create a life we deem worth celebrating. Together, we will identify and overcome obstacles that have hindered you from achieving your goals and dreams. I welcome you to start on a journey to fully loving the life you live.

My approach to therapy is individualized and collaborative, drawing from various therapeutic modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques.

My ideal client is a person who is struggling with how to take the "Next Step", be it a relationship crisis, career transition, health issue, loss of a pet, beloved friend or relative. My client might be stuck and wants to pursue a creative passion. My client wants to enrich their emotional, spiritual life and financial growth. My client may have one or more addictions and seeks a sober lifestyle, has tried other avenues that have failed. My client, in spite of fear, wants to move their life forward and explore the vast possibilities of positive life changes and success.

Making the decision to start therapy is a brave step toward changing one's life. My goal is to guide my client to make those changes in a manner that feels comfortable and safe. My focus is positive, hopeful, and respectful of the individual or family's spirit. My job is to help my client gain insight, increase motivation, and provide the support to implement better choices. I work with families, individuals and/or children to change unproductive patterns and to learn life enhancing strategies. As a social worker, art therapist and trained family therapist, my strengths lie in my extensive experience and the use of creative techniques. As a professor at two colleges, I teach others to become therapists.

You'll learn to communicate more assertively to get your needs met in all aspects of your life. You'll become empowered and embody your strength within.
