Therapists in Upper East Side, New York, NY

Do you feel you are riding an emotional rollercoaster? Alternatively, do you feel like you are living in auto-pilot, going through the motions in life without finding much satisfaction? Or maybe you are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with past traumas, relationship or work difficulties, or are just feeling stuck. Although we may find ourselves surrounded by supportive family and friends, we may still feel alone and isolated in our distress. Pain in life may be unavoidable, but you don’t need to go through it alone.

Perhaps you’ve been feeling isolated, frustrated, or like something needs fixing, but you are unsure where to begin? Current crises, past traumas, fear of failure, and difficulty in relationships can make everyday life overwhelming. If you are suffering silently, therapy with a trusted professional can be a great next step. I have several years experience treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, trauma-related disorders/PTSD, and personality disorders. I work with adults, teenagers, couples, and families.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in depression, anxiety, personality disorders, the psychological impact of medical problems, eating disorders, and substance use disorder. I am also a CASAC (Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor). Having been a hospital based social worker at New York Presbyterian Hospital, I have teamed with psychiatrists and other physicians and am comfortable communicating with referring doctors. I work closely with a Cornell professor of psychiatry in my suite, who will quickly do a psychiatric assessment when appropriate and provide medication treatment, if needed.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist certified in cognitive-behavioral therapy with an extensive experience in the treatment of depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, child and adolescent difficulties and personality disorders. I help individuals cope effectively with chronic medical illness, insomnia and pain.

As a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst for more than 40 years, I have had the privilege to work with different populations on a great variety of issues. I've helped individuals, couples and families cope with their problems (depression, anxiety, grief, relationships, career, life transitions, etc.) to attain significant and durable transformations in their lives; they gained valuable insights into past experiences, became resilient in achieving their goals, and developed successful relationships.

It often feels like we live in a fast-paced world where our identities are reduced to our “productivity.” It’s understandable that you may have begun to doubt yourself and neglect your physical and emotional needs. However, we can challenge those negative thoughts to reshape our emotions and behaviors, which can improve our view of self and the quality of our interpersonal relationships.

Psychotherapy is an endeavor that many people seek to improve the overall quality of their lives. Whether one is experiencing conflict within relationships, difficulties coping with stress, a specific life problem, or acute symptoms, the insights, skills and increased awareness that come from psychotherapy can be invaluable. I work with patients to help create and maintain satisfying relationships, decrease emotional distress, develop healthy and effective coping strategies, cultivate self esteem and healthy self image, and increase satisfaction with life.

I am an experienced adult psychotherapist with accredited postgraduate training and clinical experience. I have special interests in work-related stress, performance anxiety, eating disorders and interpersonal relationships. I have an active affiliation with many major insurance plans. You can expect to have a consultation within one to two days. My office is conveniently located on the Upper West Side. Curiosity, humor and a toleration of paradox and irony can help. Let's see how we can bring out the best in you and make the world a better place for everyone.

I am interested in how thought, emotional, and behavioral patterns affect one's well-being. Developing awareness into how habitual thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and psycho-emotional processes interfere with relationships and living a happy, satisfying, and creative life is an important key to adapting them (making them work for you, instead of against you) and learning new ones.

As a psychologist, I help people address their struggles and reach their potential. I pay careful attention to the establishment of a safe, trusting environment where people feel heard, seen, and supported. I have come to recognize the issues that come along with our attempts to cope with challenges that life presents. We often use strategies that might have been useful in the past and are less helpful now. These patterns--many of which are not in our immediate awareness--are multilayered and as such, present as portals for us to access the enormous field of potential for lasting change which we aim to access collaborativelly.

There are often times in life when we run into problems that we don’t feel like we can handle alone. This is normal, and common reactions to this experience are depression and anxiety. I can help you work through these issues and many others, including but not limited to: Depression, Anxiety and Panic Attacks, OCD, Relationships including Couples, Marital, and Family Counseling, Career Issues and Life Transitions, Children, Adolescents, Adults, Learning and Disability Evaluations, Grief, Loss, and Parenting. Please call me at (646) 239-1397 for a free consultation, and I'll be happy to talk you through the process.

Although I have a certificate in psychoanalysis from NIP, my work is informed by the needs of the individual and I use various modalities in treatment. I have extensive experience in working with trauma, both recent and past, and have found that my EMDR training is very useful. Cognitive/Behavioral techniques are particularly helpful in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety or depression. In some instances medication might be helpful and we would discuss a referral to a psychiatrist. I am not doctrinaire, and work with a client to develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Our sessions begin with a conversation. What brings you here? What would you like to be different? What would your life look like if our work together is successful? With over 35 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist we can quickly and jointly determine if we are a good fit. I work with adolescents and individual adults as well as couples experiencing relationship, intimacy and/or parenting issues.
