Therapists in New York, NY

Careful listening and energetic, purposeful interaction are central in my method of treatment. Reducing anxiety, depression and difficulties in relationships and careers are crucial and worthwhile goals in my work as a psychotherapist. In the course of over 40 years of experience it has become my philosophy of psychotherapy that it is in the nature of relationships and careers to come to a crisis over time. Although the crisis invaribly leads to conflicts and is therefore anxiety producing, it is also an opportunity to work through issues to achieve insight and personal transformation.

Do you need help dealing with your relationships, work, family, and self-esteem? As a psychologist with many years of experience, I combine empathy, psychological insight, and feedback to help you gain greater self-awareness and empower you to make positive changes in your life. I do both individual and couple's therapy and am able to blend my psychoanalytic training with other modalities such as anxiety reduction techniques. I have over 15 years of experience in college/grad school counseling from my work at Columbia University and have also helped adults through other important life stages and challenges.

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.

I treat a broad array of diagnostic categories that is centered on treating the whole person. Areas of expertise include individual and couples therapy, parent/child, challenges from physical illness, coworker relationships and conflict resolution. Treatment areas include anxiety, depression, adjustment and relationship issues. I focus on behaviors, thoughts, feelings and ways of interacting that individuals repeat in spite of a wish to behave differently. My practice is devoted to developing, in a confidential setting, the tools needed to lead a rewarding life. I have over 25 years' experience treating individuals and couples. I offer both traditional psychotherapy and executive coaching for Fortune 500 companies.

Therapy begins within a trusted, emotional connection where your unique story can truly be heard. I'm dedicated to helping you sort out your feelings and circumstances, to examine difficult relationships. I will teach you effective coping skills, strategies to better handle stress and distress. We will utilize new tools to address problem behavior patterns, unhealthy relationships and to problem solve. I utilize a nuanced, crafted combination of evidenced-based therapies: Mindfulness, Supportive, Relational, Psychodynamic, Motivational, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Modern Analytic and Family Treatments.

It is a big step to acknowledge that something is missing, something is wrong... that you are, in some way, hurting. And it is incredibly brave for you to be reading this right now. You are looking to try something new and change is difficult and scary. You are thinking that you do not have to feel the way that you do and you have the courage to to be here, considering about how things can be better. I am here for you to help you create different options in your life, to stop the pain that is on repeat.

My primary goal as your therapist is to help you navigate challenges through a non-judgmental, collaborative and client-centered relationship. As an Afro-Latina female clinician, one of my passions is to serve people in my community and to help them find meaning in their lives. I employ an integrative approach to therapy to meet individual needs. This means that I integrate various techniques from several modalities to meet you where you are and help you achieve deep healing. The approaches that I use most often are Psychodynamic, Narrative therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy.

Today, life often presents us with an unsettling tension between overwhelming uncertainty or loss, and a relentless demand to be productive, happy, and to have a strong sense of identity or purpose. Whether one is exploring psychotherapy due to crisis, impasse, troubling symptoms, or relational concerns, all people can benefit from a space where they can make meaning of their experiences and thoughts in a collaborative way. Though psychodynamic treatment requires vulnerability and curiosity, it is an opportunity for transformative self-exploration and healing that will be contained in a space of attentive listening and care.

You can feel confident that whatever your issue is, we can talk about it and together we can figure out an approach to alleviate your suffering. Sometimes we need guidance while at other times we need someone to listen and hold space for us. It is possible that you are looking for a fresh take on your circumstances or have tried "everything" out there and are ready to give up. Do not be discouraged. We can figure out a way for you to heal.

Life is full of unexpected stressors and demands, all of which can be challenging to manage and navigate independently. Luckily, you don't have to do it alone. Feeling directionless, stressed, anxious, depressed, struggling with work demands or interpersonal issues are all experiences that make us human. If any of these experiences are feeling overwhelming for you, you might be a candidate for therapy. Through therapy, we can process these experiences and explore how our perceptions inform our thought patterns, emotions & behavior and work towards living a more satisfying life.

"I'd like to introduce you to someone you may not know very well, YOURSELF." I've been practicing psychotherapy since 1982 integrating both psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral perspectives. The psychotherapy journey can ultimately lead to the enhancement of conflict-free thinking and behavior which in turn can contribute to a more satisfying life.

"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" (Leonard Cohen). We all strive to be our “best" selves, but often we can get in our own way by constantly comparing and judging, or belittling our accomplishments while magnifying our mistakes. Together we can learn how to manage our own thoughts and behaviors in order to illicit positive change in ourselves and our relationships. I provide individual therapy for clients dealing with mood and anxiety issues, relationship difficulties, loss, self-esteem issues, work-related stressors, life transitions and more.

I have nearly a decade of experience working in education, journalism, and addiction counseling. In many ways, my own path to becoming a therapist informs my therapeutic approach. My goal is to accompany clients with empathy, authenticity, and hope as they work to achieve a sense of wholeness in their lives with the courage to explore patterns and to ask “what’s missing.”

In practice I use a pragmatic, results-oriented approach and am not tethered to one particular psychoanalytic modality. Rather, recognizing each patient has unique needs, I draw from many therapeutic approaches that best fit each patient. In my practice, I can quickly assess which techniques will work best to meet each client's individual needs to show patients that they can have the right tools to reach their optimal comfort level in their careers, families, and relationships. The goal is bridging the gap and finding the most productive pathway between where clients are and where they want to be.
