Hello, I'm Marianne De Cesare. I'm a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker with creative solutions to anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship and work problems.

Are you a couple struggling to be heard and reaching for connection? Are you dealing with anxiety over a recent life transition? As a clinical therapist in DUMBO, I specialize in helping individuals cope with anxiety, couples in conflict increase positive interactions, and those going through life transitions find confidence. I also offer family therapy skills to children and parents struggling with behavioral challenges. We help those who feel stuck in patterns that don't seem to be working anymore by providing a safe, trustworthy and collaborative environment that works towards a sense of self-efficacy and change.

She mixes cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with psychodynamic, mindfulness, and person-centered methods to reduce depression, anxiety, stress, and more. She works with clients to make lasting change by increasing insight and addressing underlying issues that are the source of their distress. She has worked for a suicide prevention/crisis hotline, counseled individuals who are homeless, volunteered with hospice patients, and worked with clients diagnosed with schizophrenia.

I will meet you at your level of readiness for change and support you, as you strive towards authenticity, liberation, and growth.

WHY THERAPY? Finding a therapist or counselor can be an anxiety-provoking pursuit. In my experience, people seek treatment for a wide variety of reasons, such as depression, anxiety/stress, relationship problems, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, and so on. Seeking therapy is an act of maturity and strength! It says that you recognize that you are unhappy or dissatisfied with some aspect of your life and that you ultimately want to function and feel better.

I have a warm, empathic and interactive, but non-directive style. I believe everyone has the power to heal within themselves and that my role is to assist people in accessing that power in the most caring, respectful way possible. My ability to be attuned to clients in all stages of life, as well as my openness to new ways of working and my extensive self-exploration are, I believe, my major strengths.

I am a NY State licensed psychotherapist with a MSW from Columbia University. Since 2003, I have been helping individuals and families understand and manage anxiety, depression & other mood disorders, relationship and career challenges, life transitions, sexual & gender identity, family dynamics, chronic illness, grief & loss. Through a holistic, psychodynamic approach, I combine principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and stress management. I strive to help my clients feel supported, contained and challenged to enhance their awareness and coping skills, reach their goals and fulfill their potential.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 18 years of experience specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship & family conflict. I use an eclectic treatment approach that incorporates cognitive interventions, solution-focused strategies and stress reduction techniques stemming from a psychodynamic framework. I believe in the strong connection between mind and body, and incorporate mindfulness-based practices in my work. In addition to in-office and tele-health visits, I now offer Walk Therapy as part of my practice. Walk Therapy allows for mindful exploration and growth through physical movement.

My focus is in assisting individuals to incorporate mindfulness in daily life and to improve overall quality of live in addition to assisting individuals in developing coping skills to improve interpersonal conflicts. I engage clients in a person-centered approach and explore with clients early developmental conflicts that impact daily life and assist clients in developing adaptive approaches to resolving conflicts in daily life. I also provide somatic processing to assist individuals who have suffered trauma. I have years of experience providing supervision to students and limited licensed professionals who are in pursuit of becoming fully licensed mental health counselors.

I provide attuned and empathic psychotherapy to individuals and groups, offering a warm, curious, creative and even humorous space. I believe the dynamic between client and therapist is one of our most valuable assets in therapy. Each individual brings their own perception of their needs and worldview, so I place great focus on identity, culture, and environment for this space to not only process personal struggles but to also combat oppressive exteriors that compromise our wellbeing. With compassion, energy and curiosity, I show up to meet you where you are to support and hold space for you to feel safe and seen.

Often our mental health issues are triggered by the highly demanding lifestyle in a stressful environment. We are not able to process all the issues we face all by ourselves. We need professional perspectives of our issues. In therapy I help patients analyze their issues in a scientific manner. My approach is holistic: health, body, mind, spirit, biology, and the environmental factors. Every human being has potentials to overcome their problems through time, patience, insight, using proper resources, and applying their inner strengths. I have faith in my patience. My motto: Educate. Empower. Evolve. I am inspired by what I see!

Jonathan utilizes DBT, ACT, trauma-focused, person-centered, strength-based, existential, and narrative practices to create genuine connections. He provides clients a nonjudgmental space to explore themselves through mindfulness, media, interactive activities, creativity, and a caring ear to listen, illuminate, and foster empowerment over one’s life. Jonathan believes through collaboration, we learn to recognize problematic dynamics and limiting mindsets that prevent one from becoming more fulfilled.

Are you having having relationship problems or overwhelming stress? I am a psychologist and psychoanalyst with an interpersonal/humanistic approach who specializes in relationship problems, couples therapy, women's issues and gender identity concerns. In individual therapy, clients discover the causes of their distress and find ways to feel "real" and "alive" in the world. Self-defeating patterns of thoughts and behaviors are identified and re-evaluated. More realistic and helpful perceptions, attitudes and behaviors can then emerge. Couples therapy emphasizes respectful communication and listening techniques. "Hearing" one's partner as well as expressing one's own distress becomes important.

Are you searching for better relationships, more satisfaction in work, a sense of well-being or an overall deeper engagement in life? I will work with you to discover what is interfering with your having the life you want. When you begin to know and accept all of your feelings and learn how to use them, success in love and work becomes possible.

She believes that treatment should be autonomous and collaborative, incorporating their core values and beliefs to achieve clients' personal goals. Tashanee's areas of specialization include person-centered, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Psychoanalytic, and Adlerian approaches.

My first focus when working with a client is to develop a trusting relationship. I believe this is necessary to be able to help them to work through the problems they may encounter in their lives. Clients come to me with problems which may include feelings of depression and sadness, dealing with conflict in relationships, understanding issues of identity, coping with grief and loss and making important life decisions such as in career, education and health.
