Therapists in 10010

Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up and ask for help. Individual and couple/partner(s) therapy can provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and relationships, and develop the skills and insights you need to lead a more fulfilling life. I have extensive experience working with clients facing a variety of challenges related to relationships, sex/intimacy, personal growth, self-esteem, life changes, and stress management. I received my training at New York University, and I have a passion for helping clients achieve happiness and connectedness in their lives.

Let's begin by acknowledging that you have taken a crucial step forward just by beginning to search for a therapist. You are here because there is a part of you that wants to make a change in your life or to understand yourself better. You are hoping to become your best self at work and in your relationships, feeling ready to address a trauma or loss, or looking for help getting through a bout of depression or anxiety so you can feel like yourself again. My job is to support your process of discovering what is getting in your way, and to help you develop the skills, mindset, or insight you need to move forward.

In an increasingly demanding and fast-paced world, life can sometimes feel overwhelming, uncertain, and urgent. Counseling can provide a safe space and environment to explore these challenges, decisions, and emotions. Counseling sessions can empower individuals and cultivate personal growth. Jeremy believes every individual has great potential and can achieve whatever they’re looking for, given appropriate opportunities and a supportive environment that encourages self-discovery and self-acceptance.

I believe that every human holds the innate capacity to heal, especially queer individuals whose lives are rooted in resilience. Through therapy, I highlight the potential of empowerment and strength in overcoming trauma and everyday challenges alike. I bring my research experience in body image and eating disorders among queer populations to frame my clinical work. My style can be described as active, warm, encouraging, and fun. While I incorporate elements of cognitive-behavioral, narrative, psychodynamic, and client-centered modalities, meeting with me will feel like a conversation with a warm, supportive friend.

My aim is to help you feel less alone and more equipped to manage the uncomfortable experiences that stem from the wide-ranging impact of depression and anxiety. You may find that you are constantly doubting yourself, feeling you don't belong, avoiding people/events, feeling disconnected in relationships, or using maladaptive coping mechanisms. My approach to therapy focuses on building a connected and safe therapeutic relationship where we adjust unhelpful beliefs, process feelings, increase insight, and set goals to help you move towards increased resiliency and self-confidence.

Congratulations on taking this step in seeking help and support for yourself or your family. I work with children and adolescents, families, men, and women. My 20-plus years of clinical work with children and families is built on an attachment-oriented foundation and is informed by my personal experience as an adoptive parent and training in relevant play and family therapies. Regardless of a child’s emotional/behavioral presentation or attachment (RAD) history, I view parents as partners in their child’s therapeutic process and support and guide them, in parent sessions and/or in family sessions with their child.

Depression and anxiety, job stress, health concerns and relationship issues are aspects of life which can easily overwhelm us, especially when we don't understand their underlying causes or what to do about them. My aim as a therapist is to provide a supportive and compassionate environment, establishing the foundation to facilitate growth and change. Our time together will be tailored to addressing the specific needs and issues that you're struggling with. Through this process,we'll build towards having greater insight and clarity about yourself and navigating the inevitable ups and downs of life

Hello and welcome! With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in treating anxiety/phobias, low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, weight/body concerns, and trauma. I'm also very effective in helping others manage stress, particularly around career/work issues, health concerns, grief, procrastination, perfectionism, artistic blocks and major life changes. My style is interactive, very supportive and focused on you reaching your goals. I'll provide a confidential, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to express your feelings and explore issues in depth. My priority is that you feel "heard" and fully accepted.

I believe that everyone deserves to have happy, healthy and successful relationships, both with themselves & with the people in their life. Therapy is a process of learning and discovery that can help you heal. I want to be able to guide and encourage you, while also creating an environment where conversation is welcome. I believe in your value and worth as an individual and the dignity of making your own choices. You’re the expert on your own life and you should be treated as such. My approach includes empathy, authenticity and paying attention to how you are feeling in the moment.

My passion and focus is working with adults, adolescents, and families experiencing distress in their relationships and/or symptoms of depression and anxiety. I approach my work with clients from a place of genuine curiosity and understanding. I aim to provide a safe space where we can discuss the challenges getting in the way of achieving your goals and create a sustainable support system for lasting change in your life. I pride myself on being transparent during the process and an active participant in session.

Trauma can perpetuate loneliness and prevent you from connecting with yourself and others. I help clients work on increasing self-esteem by building self-compassion and self-acceptance. I also use the therapeutic relationship as a way to experience positive connection. This relational work is often a starting point to a sense of well-being and belonging outside of the therapy room. As a facilitator and companion in this process, I will support you on your path towards healing and creating a life that honors and reflects your truest self. Being in a safe, compassionate space can facilitate this process.

I know what it’s like to be in a perpetual evolution of the self. Engaging with past lives and exploring personal truths takes an incredible amount of work, and oftentimes requires help and support. I believe that everyone has the capacity to overcome the thought processes and behavioral patterns that inhibit us from growing into our most vibrant selves. I work through a trauma-informed lens, and utilize research around minority stress theory and attachment theory, amongst others, to formulate individually-tailored plans of action. Whether you’re a creative or a corporate executive, your needs and your path are specific to you.

Sharing your individual difficulties, fears, desires, and dreams can be a challenging experience. Therefore, I focus on building a warm and safe therapeutic environment for introspection and self-discovery. I believe that we frequently we have the tools inside of us to heal our struggles and I seek to help you uncover those tools in therapeutic work. As a queer black woman, I understand it can be tough to find spaces to authentically express your true feelings, as well as get validation and support. I have experience holding space and processing the challenges that can arise from holding multiple marginalized identities.

I believe that we all struggle, at times, to cope with difficult feelings. You know, the ones that have been with us all our lives? The ones that make us feel stuck and hopeless at times? I also believe that we can make some sense out of our feelings by examining past relationships. With this awareness we can begin to look at your current feelings and relationships. In a non-judgmental environment, come as you are. We will approach this together.

Psychotherapy is about change and growth, an endeavor that takes commitment and courage. Change can be painful at times and often scares us, so we rather stay within the bounds of old but familiar patterns of going about our lives. To have someone you trust to guide you through the change process can make all the difference. A genuine and supportive therapeutic relationship can help you take an honest look at your feelings and thoughts about yourself and your relationships with others, which will bring about the change that removes the barriers to a healthy and fulfilled life.

I believe that mental and emotional suffering is best healed in the context of a safe and caring therapeutic relationship. Drawing on an emotion-focused and relational psychotherapy style, we see the client-therapist relationship as the foundation for healing and growth. My style is active and we will work collaboratively with you in order to create a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere for us to explore past and present-day difficulties.
