Therapists in Bronx, NY

Também ofereço sessões em português.

Meu abordagem é caracterizada como colaborativa, compassiva, e ativa, na qual os indivíduos podem encontrar autenticidade em si mesmos e fazer mudanças significativas em sua vida, reconhecendo padrões e encontrando uma voz para si mesmos. Meu foco no cliente varia de indivíduos LGBTQ+ que trabalham para sair do armário, para imigrantes que se ajustam à vida em NYC, e para adultos que lidam com ansiedade, problemas de raiva, questões de identidade, situações de perda, depressão, trauma e preocupações de relacionamento e intimidade.

Cada um dos relacionamentos psicoterapeuticos reflete com nitidez a complexidade da vida e da personalidade do indivíduo em tratamento, um processo unico que nao permite generalizacões. Além do diagnostico e da avaliação clínica contínua baseada em modelos psicológicos tradicionais, é essencial ao meu método profissional uma ênfase na sintonia cultural. Em particular, os meus 45 anos de contato com o Brasil e sua sociedade permite que eu integre o componente cultural ao processo terapeutico, os quais estão intimamente ligados. Radicado na área de Nova Iorque, morei por vários anos no Brasil e tenho fluência no idioma.

Your life is meant to be exciting and fulfilling. At Clarity Therapy, our passion and purpose is helping individuals reconnect to themselves and their true purpose. We nurture people as they re-learn how to access their innate strengths and improve their experience of emotional wellness. While many people may face similar issues, no two people experience an issue in exactly the same way. We provide compassion, insight, practical tools, and acceptance for where you are. Together we can help you confront and overcome whatever issue you’re currently facing. Additionally, we demystify the process of therapy and do our best to ensure you’re taken care of each step of the way. From finding the right therapist to getting reimbursed, we’re here to make the process as simple as possible.

I have two specialties - Helping couples to improve their relationships and helping people to change. With couples, I start with the belief that caring about each other doesn't always mean understanding each other and that many of us have never learned how to handle conflict effectively in a relationship. For those trying to change, I start with the assumption that we've usually already changed anything that's easy to change and that there are probably obstacles (often ones we are not aware of) to changing things we struggle more with - whether at work, outside of work or both.

I believe in the power of our therapeutic relationship, the ultimate yet genuine collaborative problem solving process. Together we will create positive change. I draw from my diverse psychology experiences, spanning schools, hospitals, day treatment programs, assessment centers, community mental health clinics, and private practice to tailor my interventions to meet your unique needs. My focus is providing concrete life skills while working through underlying issues and improving our everyday relationships. I view relationships as essential for helping to create change. The office has a room for testing and therapy and another for play therapy and PCIT.

I am fascinated about how the brain works and how behavior can be adapted and changed if we allow it to happen.I support anxious and depressed people who truly desire to renewal their souls. Self-esteem, stress and conflict management, codependency, and parenting skills are some of the areas that rise my interest. I am specialized in blended and multicultural families. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.

I am an extensively published, world-travelled expert on trauma and chronic illness. I conduct therapy in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, German, and Dutch. For the past 25 years, I have been assisting individuals with ADHD/behavioral challenges, trauma, PTSD, dissociation, depression, bipolar disorder, and physical illness. My clients range in age from 3 to 103. Early in my career, I developed a support group curriculum for AIDS orphans now available in 35 countries. Review of my work as a therapist are available online. Kindly employ email to contact me initially if possible. Thank you.

Recognizing that taking the first steps towards seeking help can be frightening, I bring a warm and compassionate presence to help create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to feel comfortable sharing their concerns. I use a versatile and relational style to ensure clients feel heard, seen and understood. In my therapeutic work, I believe it is important to consider how political influences, societal narratives, intergenerational and genetic predispositions are interwoven to shape one’s emotional being.

Do you feel frustrated and stuck? Wondering if you are on the right track? Do you want change but don't know what kind of change or how to get there? Are you going through a life transition? Do you question wether your life can have more meaning? Or maybe you find yourself repeating the same pattern over and over and don’t know how to change it? I am here to help and support you. I will work with you to find your own inner resources, heal and integrate past experiences, feel more comfortable in your own skin and at home in the world, and experience more joy, peace and meaning in your life and relationships.

There are times in life when there doesn't seem like a way out of emotional pain. Our life histories, traumas, losses, and disappointments can run so deep that you think the only solution is to give up and stay where you are because change seems frightening. I'm confident I’m able to help you have a more joyful life, better relationships, and to create a more optimistic and exciting vision for your future. You can learn the most effective tools and recognize your strengths focusing on yourself in the now. I can teach you how to treat yourself with patience and compassion, while making a real decision to change.

An artist who never experienced being loved by a woman may look for a different therapy than someone who, after the collapse of the Twin Towers, has experienced crises of panic and is unable to travel the subway. Somebody may want to stop using drugs and alcohol, but may also be interested in finding a spiritual path. Most frequently, people do not know what they want from therapy. Finding out is part of it. Some go to therapy to solve a problem, and some to grow and look for the meaning of life, while others have both reasons.

I have been a Clinical Psychologist for the past 24 years. I am specialized in treating children, adolescents, adults and couples experiencing various relationship and individual problems. Areas of specialization include: anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and family relational problems. In addition, I specialize in treating children with ADHD/ADD and other learning disabilities. In addition to providing psychotherapy, I also administer psychological and neuropsychological evaluations.

The Family Counseling Group of NY is an organization that is focused on helping women, children and families with mental health services with individual, group, couples and family therapy. We provide holistic, evidenced based mental health services from children, teens and adults. We provide services in English and Spanish and accept most major health insurances.

My career in social work stems from my innate desire to see others succeed in fulfilling their potential. This includes work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. People from all walks of life, with a range of issues (such as depression, anxiety, work or relationship stress) are often helped by my eclectic approach to treatment.

My therapeutic treatment is an individual personalized plan (IPP) that starts by assessing client’s expectations and goals and progresses into a tailor-made treatment. "Starting with The End in Mind", states Covey, S., clients bring to therapy their own narratives to which expect solutions. As we unfold, several plots emerge. With the ultimate client's goal in mind, our sessions take a ride in the client’s journey thru past, present and future. Whereas seizing the present is the key, looking ahead and glancing back at the past gives it a re-significance as the past does live in our present and is strong enough to shape our future.

At Rivia Mind, we focus on both treatment and prevention. We believe in listening to each patient and creating a partnership to work on maintaining and improving lifelong health. We are a treatment center that offers up to date, evidence based treatment for a wide range of psychological struggles that get in the way of you living life to the fullest. A consultation begins with a comprehensive evaluation and a personalized treatment plan to help you reach your goals.

I use a psychodynamic approach which integrates spirituality and psychotherapy, helping people who struggle with depression, loneliness, sexual abuse, drug addiction. I help couples and families learn to communicate their needs and feelings effectively. I work with gay men and lesbians seeking to integrate their sexual identity, as well as those working to enhance their relationships. I work extensively with people suffering from chronic illnesses (e.g. AIDS) and those who care for them. I am a Member of AAMFT, ACPE, and EGPS and have certificates in Pastoral Psychotherapy, Marriage and Family Therapy and Group Psychotherapy.
