Therapists in Midtown West, New York, NY

There’s nothing I find more gratifying than helping my clients redefining purpose in their lives. While we are in a constant struggle with the expectations of others, we often lose sight of who we are ourselves. We negotiate, toil, and sacrifice—sometimes without even knowing why. That’s why as a counselor, I specialize in navigating conflict and transitions within careers, relationships, and self-esteem to help clients regain ownership and rediscover meaning in life.

Are you seeking resilience in uncertain times? My approach to therapy combines psychodynamic training with CBT, finding practical solutions to problems. This means that you and I will work together to find both the "why" of what you bring to therapy (childhood development, history, and social context) and the "what" (how to change what you want to change). I tend to work with high achievers who feel there is something lacking in their personal lives and relationships. I work with adults, as well as adolescents in high school or college/graduate school. I see both individuals and couples who want to make meaningful changes.

Finding a therapist can feel like an overwhelming process! Once you've decided on one, it's important to feel comfortable and supported during your time together. I provide a warm and welcoming environment in which you and I can work together towards greater understanding of whatever is ailing you. Overtime, your enhanced understanding of your struggles, yourself and your environment will allow for greater choices, better decisions, finer communication skills and relief from symptoms. We will collaborate to tackle whatever issues come your way.

It is always interesting beginning therapy with a Client - your unique set of circumstances has resulted in feelings, thoughts, issues and maybe symptoms. Together, as we begin to understand what you're experiencing, it is equally fascinating to join you on the journey of exploring options and goals. You may feel more empowered as you figure out short and long-term changes. I look forward to helping you with this process, using all of the experiences and tools that are relevant.

I aspire to create a space that is welcoming, safe, non-judgmental, empathic and introspective. My goal is to help you learn about yourself and how you relate to others so that you can make positive improvements that are lasting. Therapy can be challenging; but my belief is that through this meaningful work you will develop a deeper sense of self and awareness of strengths that may have gone undiscovered to this point. In therapy, issues to be resolved will be addressed with the idea that self-awareness leads to choice, responsibility and change.

I'm a results-oriented, solution-focused psychologist who, over 25 years in practice, have honed my own active, directive therapeutic approach to deliver results in a time-efficient, step-wise manner. After an initial chronological overview, in which we track the origins and development of your presenting symptoms/challenges, we establish clear, achievable goals and map out steps for reaching these goals. Utilizing goal-focused, cognitive-behavioral techniques, I’ll guide and assist you in identifying and overcoming past hindrances to meeting your desired goals, and provide you with skills for maintaining your achieved goals.

Sad, worried or anxious? I can help. I'm a Columbia University trained warm and kind LCSW-R active-listening savvy summarizer seeking to be your support. Often people share issues with me and apologize for "rambling". But I welcome a chance to condense concerns in a concise way. My private practice is reinforced by over 30 years of diverse experience as a Clinical Social Worker. I've worked in many mental health and medical settings, and have confidence helping with a range of stresses. You don't need to endure unhappiness or loneliness.

Feeling anxious, confused, or wanting more from your life? Thoughts and feelings can be overwhelming, especially when it feels like you are going in circles. If you want help you've come to the right place. I am a trauma-informed therapist who works with folks who want an embodied, felt experience as part of their healing journey. My holistic approach includes Art Therapy EMDR, Reiki Energy, Somatic Experiencing, Oracle Cards, Parts Work, and Hypnotherapy. We work on ways to make more sense of your life in a way that makes sense to you. This often brings relief and clarity.

Therapy can be a space to expand your sense of yourself. While a specific problem may bring you to therapy, I believe that my patients are often helped by gaining insight into (and ultimately, mastery over) long-standing patterns in their relationships, feelings, or behaviors. This approach helps to create lasting change. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have a variety of concerns, some of which include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, or a vague sense of being disconnected from oneself. I am LGBTQ-affirming and have experience working with LGBTQ and gender-expansive individuals.

If you want to feel happy with yourself, enjoy relating to others, and find passion in your pursuits, you may be looking for a therapist with the empathy, understanding and knowledge to guide your process effectively and help you find your way. I am an old hand at this. I offer a safe space for you to get to know and love your true self and acquire the emotional resilience and skill you'll need to enrich your life experience.

I truly believe an integral part of therapy is building a strong therapeutic alliance with each one of my clients that is based on trust, safety, empathy and compassion. I work with artists, musicians and other creative minded individuals experiencing issues related to trauma, grief & loss, stress management, creative blocks & life transitions. I specialize in treating individuals diagnosed with PTSD and CPTSD along with victims of narcisissitic abuse.

Have you wondered if your child or adolescent would benefit from therapy? I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. I can help your child explore their feelings, make sense of their experience, and develop their full potential. I can help your child become their own therapist by learning techniques and coping strategies to learn how to deal with their challenges in their lives. I work well with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, social issues, learning issues, attention deficit disorder, and body image issues. Clients often see improved well-being early on in therapy.

I am a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, providing sessions in Spanish and English. I use an individual and dynamic approach to focus on each person's unique needs and life story. My goal is to help the client in the process of healing, to grow strength and resilience, and to find the root problem so that the client has a better understanding of themselves. My strong background as a licensed psychologist has given me experience in working with multicultural environments and all age groups.

Do you feel your experiences aren’t significant enough to be labeled a trauma ?Traumas are any adverse experience(s) that has affected you and continues to linger into present and new situations with the same dynamics and patterns of the past. I have an intrinsic passion to work with with various issues that prevent you from the happiness you deserve. Learned behaviors (e.g., loose/rigid boundaries, self-esteem, a critical inner dialog, and more) with work can be adjusted. While working together, I provide a safe and supportive environment, where you can can feel free to share any thoughts and feelings without judgement.
