Out of Network Therapists in 10001

Are you seeking a culturally sensitive therapist who will not make stereotypical assumptions, but will honor your unique story, history and journey? Have you been told that therapy is for the weak or for those whose faith is not strong enough? Are you looking for a place where you can feel safe enough to say everything you need to without feeling as though you need to take care of the therapist?

Coming to therapy takes a lot of courage, and it also probably means you have been doing your best to address your personal issues for some time now. I work from the vantage point that growth is always possible no matter how dire or stuck you may feel. In my practice, I use an eclectic therapeutic approach that stresses reflection, support, validation, collaboration, and aims to foster the insights and behaviors needed for change.

Our thoughts come from our emotions which are created by our experiences and influences in our lives. These thoughts affect our beliefs, perceptions and actions. They have become ingrained in us appearing to be natural or instinctual. You have the power to change this pattern and maximize your potential and happiness in all areas of your life; interpersonal and professional. My hope is through our therapeutic relationship we discover the positive and negative patterns in your life, learning techniques and resolutions which will allow you to be the architect of your future.

Many of us seek out therapy when we're in the midst of change, or when we've reached a point of wanting change but are unsure how to make that happen. In either case, therapy offers us the opportunity to deepen our understanding of the circumstances which have brought about the desire, or the need, for something to be different. In collaborating with someone whose role is to reflect our experience back to us, we're often able to meet parts of our selves or our histories that had been forgotten, and we start to see how embodying ourselves more fully will create movement and fulfillment in our lives.

Engaging in psychotherapy can be transformational and life changing. Sometimes all of us feel a little stuck, overwhelmed, lost, or alone. Whether you are facing a difficult time coping, feeling overwhelmed by current stressors, or have longstanding challenges, working with a psychotherapist can enable you to navigate a path forward and provide you with the tools to cope.

Psychological health is much more than the absence of problems and mental illness. Even when things seem to be going well we may still feel that there is something missing and that our lives lack the happiness, purpose, and vitality that we desire.

We then explore thoughts and feelings that get in the way of living a more meaningful and satisfying life and replace them with strategies that are more values consistent and effective in the pursuit of a more satisfying life.

Are you a high-achieving Type A who has accomplished professional success but is struggling in your relationships? You may feel emotionally disengaged and lonely, tired of the vicious circles of broken promises, negative assumptions, and reactions, and beginning to dislike the person you are becoming in your marriage.

Still, the couple evolves as stressors and issues arise, leading to a sense of distance and resentment.
