Therapists in New City, NY

The decision to engage in psychotherapy is a very personal and courageous decision. I believe that it is important to obtain psychotherapy from a licensed professional who can provide you with the tools to heal your whole body and mind.

Whether you are depressed, anxious, or are dealing with another mental health concern, I provide a holistic type of therapy that will help you feel better and guide you through the difficulties and transitions in your life.

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.
