***NO CURRENT AVAILABILITY*** I am a licensed clinical social worker who partners with clients to help them to reach their personal, relationship and career goals. I specialize in serving BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), women, and people of diverse sexual orientation and gender experiences.

As your therapist, I tailor my approach depending on your needs. It is my commitment to offer you a safe space without judgement and provide an empathetic ear. Each person is unique which means that the approach should be unique to you. My goal is to help you understand behavior patterns which will lead to a better understanding of one's self. I will provide you with concrete coping strategies

Trained in short and long-term therapy, I am flexible with your goals. I help people find new solutions to on-going problems in relationships, in work, or creativity, and in navigating life transitions. My ideal client is a person who is open to change and is willing to confront what hasn't been working so that life can improve. Times of transition often teach us the most, including times of painful change. I work to help others imagine a future that makes sense. I work with adults of all ages, and I can be flexible with scheduling and fees. Note: I practice in two locations - NYC & Madison CT.

My practice centers on helping people live everyday more fully. Daily pressures to manage work, relationships, and ourselves often leave us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Some people express these feelings through anxiety or persistent self-critical thoughts. Others may feel discouraged, guilty, ashamed or sad. Many use substances, food, risky behavior or other distractions to momentarily feel better. Psychotherapy can help resolve these issues by creating a space to gain better coping strategies, enhance your focus of your place in the world, and develop greater resiliency.

I take a collaborative, highly individualized approach to treatment that is warm and empathic. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, but I am also adept at utilizing integrative techniques from cognitive, humanistic, and experiential modalities when warranted. My work is informed by my training and experience at some of the nation's finest institutions, including Columbia University Medical Center, New York University, Rutgers University, and the National Institute for the Psychotherapies.

Jeffry understands the impact that emotional and mental discomfort can have on someone’s life, especially at a young age.

My psychoanalytic training and my 20 years work experience has taught me the importance of understanding the full individual and his/her own unique experience in the world. In therapy, I provide a supportive environment that focuses on symptom-reduction while also exploring underlying roots of emotional discomfort. I encourage self-exploration, emotional processing and self-acceptance. I believe in helping clients understand how their past experiences impacts their lives, and in utilizing the therapeutic relationship to foster clients' growth and self-fulfillment. I find psychotherapy to be powerful and exciting and I consider it a privilege to help people strive for their potential.

Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis are potentially useful ways to connect more productively with the myriad challenges of what it means to be human. The patients I work best with are curious about how to change their current behavior to reduce psychological difficulties, as well as to address how their prior history has influenced their current situation. I hold a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, and a certificate in psychoanalysis from the William Allison White Institute. In addition, I have also completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples.

Beck (they/them/theirs) believes therapy can be used as a tool to change behaviors that no longer serve us, to further and deepen self-discovery, and to learn how to relate more holistically to others and to ourselves. They utilize a psychodynamic approach, weaving in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), creative and artistic methods, feminist and social justice-based approaches, and relational therapy. Beck believes it is essential to invite the conversation of identities into the therapeutic space, as identity is integral to how we move through the world.

I believe in integrated methods that address mind, body and spirit. My goal is to empower clients to have a positive vision of their past, present and future. By increasing the understanding that we all essentially write our own histories, clients can take a proactive role in creating their lives as they intend them to be. This approach has had great success in problem solving, relationship issues, family and business issues, physical and sexual abuse, catastrophic event-related illnesses and addictive behaviors.

As a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years of experience, I strive to create a warm, collaborative and nonjudgmental space in which you can safely explore yourself and how you relate to others, and work through current challenges and obstacles in your life. I participate actively in the therapeutic dialogue, and I view psychotherapy as a shared journey of self discovery that can lead to lasting change. I see adults and adolescents with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship/family problems, trauma, identity issues, and school and career concerns.

I try to create a therapeutic space that helps you process any difficulty you might be facing, whether that be work or school stress, past or recent trauma, or ongoing symptoms of anxiety or depression. I utilize my experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you identify what may be holding you back as well as what you might need to mobilize moving forward. My approach to therapy is collaborative and honest. I will be sure to meet you where you are, help you feel understood, and foster a strong therapeutic relationship.

There's nothing "wrong" with you. I've been practicing for a number of years and can tell you without a doubt that anxiety, depression, fear, anger and insecurity are all aspects of the human condition. Everybody has them to some degree - though of course they can reach a level of intensity where we feel the need to reach out for help.
