Therapists in Pound Ridge, NY

We have been helping people learn how to make the changes they want since 2008. Relationship woes? Existential Angst? Have a troubled teen or child in trouble? Feel stuck your life? You are not alone. There are other people out here going through this too. This is temporary. We will reach out to you, discuss your needs, and pair you with a therapist familiar with your needs. Together, you will meet, identify issues, collaborate to create a plan, follow through with some reasonable interventions, and figure out ways to make the changes last.

Our practice, NYC Cognitive Therapy, includes a staff of male and female therapists with intensive post-graduate training in cognitive-behavior therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most widely researched and evidence-based form of therapy. CBT has been shown in more than one thousand studies to be effective in treating a wide range of psychological problems. CBT is active and teaches you the tools to be your own therapist. You are not alone and we are available to help you feel better. We also practice Gottman Method Couple Therapy, Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT).

Have you struggled to find a therapist who affirms your identity, respects your history, -and- challenges you to face your fears? Whether you’re coping with anxiety or OCD, exploring your gender, or looking to strengthen your relationships, you deserve specialized care with an experienced, queer- and trans-identified, trauma-informed psychotherapist. My practice focuses on anxiety and related disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and hoarding, especially in queer/trans clients and people who have experienced family estrangement.

My first goal in therapy is to make you feel welcome, safe, and understood. The second is to provide you with the support and perspective to take a look at where you're getting stuck and figure out a plan to make things go more smoothly. While I work with a wide range of people, my specialty is treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and related conditions, including Hoarding, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), skin-picking, hair-pulling (Trichotillomania), and Health Anxiety. Please take a look at my website (there's a link to the left) for more information.

Choosing a new therapist can be intimidating, whether it’s your first time or you’ve been in therapy forever. I respect this and try to make the process of starting therapy one that feels as comfortable as possible from our first session. I believe the most important part of being human is our ability to empathize with others, and therapy should be a space where we can tell our story and truly feel heard, understood, and validated.

Have you been disappointed in how you react in certain situations, in how patterns from your past repeat themselves? For many of us, losses or harms of the past haunt our present and complicate our choices. You may feel stuck or adrift, unable to find traction toward your goals or hounded by an inner critic or persistent shame.

We are living in uncertain times faced with difficult decisions. Working through our complex experiences while remaining grounded can feel overwhelming, like carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. Whether navigating challenges with self-confidence, grief, relationships or job stress, my work with you focuses on regaining strength, becoming more grounded and navigating this complex life.

Psychotherapy is about transition, you are not necessarily bound by your patterns. It's also about simultaneously addressing symptoms and developing effective and lasting means of combating them. Life stressors, especially during difficult times, challenge us to approach these stressors in more effective ways. We must ask to reconsider ourselves, our behaviors, our responses, and our ability to engage with others.. The practice of psychotherapy is a creative, forward moving, and lasting transition to enhance all areas of one’s life.

Sometimes life hits us hard. If you are dealing with a big transition, depression, anxiety, inattention, irritability or struggling to find hope, I’m here to say you are not alone and you can feel better. I help families, couples, adolescents, and adults learn how to manage diverse mental health challenges. We can build a collaborative environment to approach your goals and build skills to healthily cope with your troubles. As a person who has struggled with mental health issues in the past, I look forward to giving back and helping others work through their struggles.

It is empowering to feel heard, understood and validated, to be recognized as a well-intentioned person, family member and member of your community. I view therapy as a process in which a person explores their thoughts, feelings, beliefs and relationships. In this process they find both characteristics of resilience and strength as well as unwanted or ineffective patterns that have developed over their lifetime. When guided by a well-trained, ethical and compassionate therapist what is learned can be applied to today's problems.

Having OCD or anxiety can make make every day tasks seem nearly impossible. It can sap you of your energy and ability to enjoy the things you love. On top of that, you likely have harsh judgements about having anxiety, leading to frustration and sadness. Maybe you've tried therapy in the past but nothing seems to stick. Having worked with so many people who have suffered with these conditions, I hear and feel what you are going through. I have dedicated my career to helping you understand your anxiety and build the skills to address it.

Hello, a bit about myself and my style: I established my practice in NYC in 1995, and have been helping clients maximize their potential and resolve patterns that impede that development.
