Teletherapy for New York

In my Psychology Today blog, The Minute Therapist, I focus on how changing our thoughts and deeper, underlying beliefs can help us control troubling emotions and lead more effective lives. Many people are burdened by anxiety, phobias, stress, relationship problems, depression, insomnia, anger-related issues, and sexual dysfunctions. In cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), we directly address these problems to help people develop more adaptive behaviors and ways of thinking. CBT is a time-limited treatment and the most well-documented method of therapy in use today.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. It is often hard for us to accept help due to society’s belief that we should “handle it” on our own. These unhelpful thinking patterns impact how we interact in our relationships, as well as how we process things as they are happening. I strive to work with clients through the hard times while making the process as enjoyable as possible. We can get caught in bad relationships, trauma cycles, grudges, and anger.

My practice includes Individual, Couples Therapy, Marriage Counseling and Family Therapy as well as Life Coaching, Career Coaching as well as Executive Coaching services. My approach is solution-oriented and practical while emphasizing SOLVING PROBLEMS or REACHING GOALS. I see therapy as a process for CHANGE rather than merely an exercise in insight. My work is RESULTS oriented. I utilize a pragmatic, cutting-edge-integrative approach, which is rooted in my many years of experience as high level business executive in Fortune 500 Company.

With over two decades of experience in faith-based psychotherapy, mental health counseling and inpatient rehabilitation, I am uniquely competent integrating clinical expertise and Christian spirituality in a holistic approach to thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I specialize in sexual addiction breakthrough, substance abuse recovery, OCD treatment (ERP and ACT), trauma processing (EMDR), anxiety relief, relational connection, anger management, identity formation and faith/work/life/sex integration. I see couples and adult clients, and have other counselors (with lower fees) at my practice who work with adolescents and children.

Jonathan utilizes DBT, ACT, trauma-focused, person-centered, strength-based, existential, and narrative practices to create genuine connections. He provides clients a nonjudgmental space to explore themselves through mindfulness, media, interactive activities, creativity, and a caring ear to listen, illuminate, and foster empowerment over one’s life. Jonathan believes through collaboration, we learn to recognize problematic dynamics and limiting mindsets that prevent one from becoming more fulfilled.

I see adults from 18 - 88 years of age, from diverse ethnic, cultural, religious backgrounds and LGBTQIA. I have been trained to treat patients with depression, anxiety, chronic pain and illness, obsessive-compulsive, eating disorders, anger, drugs, alcohol, post traumatic stress, interpersonal, relationship and intra psychic issues. Many, but not all of my patients work in creative fields, education and athletics. I run a group via zoom. Psychoanalytic group therapy is a treatment modality that is designed to work with intrapersonal issues and relationships simultaneously. It is also financially viable. Let's talk about group!

You are a gift. A miracle. You were born a champion! You were born and brought into this world in pure love. As we experience our life, things happen that cause us to shift from that pure love to emotional discord. As a result, we grow apart from our true self, that pure love. For some, emotional disturbances or conditions develop such as anxiety, depression, anger, negative thinking or self-doubt. I have 25 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults using traditional therapy and cutting edge non-traditional techniques that will help you get you to your goal.

With an outside the box approach, our therapists use creative means to bring healing, growth, and change in addition to traditional talk therapy. We work with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, managing major life changes, anger management, codependency, relationship struggles, trauma, invisible illness (MS, etc), insomnia, and many different stressors and situations from childhood all through adult life. We’re a group of 6 therapists offering a wide range of therapy services, aligned practices, and wellness workshops, so we most likely have something that you are looking for.

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.

I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaboration. I do more than just listen; I provide honest and helpful feedback while supporting your goals and values. During the therapeutic process, you will gain a deeper understanding of what you want out of life and develop skills to help you attain it. You will know if you are benefiting from therapy based on how you feel and act outside of our sessions. You will start to see yourself consistently making choices that move your life in a positive direction, even in the face of difficult and painful emotions.
