Hello, it’s so nice to meet you! My name is Elaine, but you can call me Laney. The most important part of counseling services to me is the therapeutic relationship between the client and the counselor. As we establish a close bond, I promise to meet you where you’re at in this delicate process of emotional and mental healing. Counseling with me is focused on your comfort, trust, and autonomy. I will help you increase your level of self-awareness and identify barriers that impede on personal growth and overall well-being by utilizing empirically based therapies. I assure you; you will be in good hands.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist, I have specialized training in working with couples, families, and individuals. I work closely with clients as they navigate relational changes, e.g., loss of intimacy, emotional distance, betrayal, family conflict, parenting concerns, separation, divorce, and blended-family issues. I encourage my clients to openly talk about their feelings while constructively working toward greater closeness and intimacy with their loved ones. I believe that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client(s) is the foundation for gratifying therapeutic growth and change.

I believe deeply in the power of relationships and in the human capacity for healing. The therapeutic relationship is a powerful force that can lead to lasting and intentional ways of understanding yourself and helping you get back on your path to leading a fulfilling life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment injuries, or simply want to understand your inner experience better, you are welcome just as you are.

My goal is to help anyone who's struggling realize that it doesn't have to be so hard. I help build healthy coping skills and break the cycle of behavior patterns that aren't working, and learn to manage feelings and emotions so that they are not overwhelming. I specialize in Eating Disorders as well as depression and anxiety. I believe that we can work together to change, build better relationships and help you feel more connected and happy in your life.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging! Here's what I can tell you about my practice that will hopefully make your search a little easier. I provide the non-judgmental, trusting environment necessary to explore vulnerabilities & foster healing. I have had success working with clients of all ages (6-94) & from various backgrounds. I've had psychoanalytic training & am also well-versed in cognitive, relational, mindfulness & transpersonal methods. This knowledge allows me to use an eclectic style of treatment in which I combine techniques from different therapeutic modalities to help my clients.

Too often individuals & couples self-impose obstacles to their own happiness. Within a warm, caring atmosphere, I endeavor to help rid clients of these roadblocks--to get them unstuck from repetitive, unproductive behaviors and/or relational patterns so that they may move on to richer fuller lives. While nurturing & supportive, I am active & solution focused, concentrating on the present with an understanding of the past.

Life is filled with an array of demands and transitions which can often feel overwhelming. Perhaps you are struggling with a life change, a stressful relationship or trying to find greater personal fulfillment. Therapy can offer a supportive and containing space to explore what you want and need for yourself, as well as growing the relational connections in your life. By creating a safe space together, you can learn to identify your body's cues and thereby better master areas in your life that feel unsettled or stuck. The goal of our work together is to provide awareness, clarity, and healing thereby improving self regulated living.

Buddhism teaches us that change is a fundamental truth of the healing process. I love to support people negotiating change and life transitions. Change is undoubtedly hard, and anxiety, depression and grief often accompany it. Fortunately, so does new growth. I specialize in attachment and relationships and believe they are the foundation of our ability to heal. I support people through separation and divorce, perinatal and postpartum adjustment, parenting and co-parenting, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma and racial identity development. As we heal our relationship with self, we show up more fully in relationship with others

I am a licensed clinical psychotherapist who earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from New York University. After completing my Master’s, I went on to attend a four year post-graduate program at The National Institute of the Psychotherapies, where I was certified in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I believe that with the right psychotherapy, one can face any life challenge head on and develop the insight and the skills to grow from them. I have an empathic approach that allows the space for my patients to look within and do the necessary work to improve their lives.

I am a NY and NJ licensed psychologist with 15+ years of clinical experience in treating adults of all ages and adolescents (14 years old and up) struggling with various emotional difficulties. I am particularly interested and experienced in working with: ANXIETY (generalized anxiety, separation anxiety), DEPRESSION, PERINATAL MOOD DISORDERS (Post-Partum Depression, Loss and Grief, Infertility), INTERPERSONAL DIFFICULTIES (peers, co-workers, family), STRESS MANAGEMENT, SELF-ESTEEM & MOOD REGULATION ISSUES, and TRAUMA (early childhood relational, sexual abuse, social trauma).

Life can sometimes feel and be very complicated. As a psychotherapist in private practice for 25 years, I work with adults, adolescents, families and couples. The way I approach working with people is to create a compassionate, intelligent, non-judgemental, therapeutic space where a person can feel safe, heard and understood. A person can then be more at ease with talking about their concerns and problems in an authentic and meaningful way. I welcome people from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and family structures.

The therapeutic process has the ability to transform. This happens through partnering together within a caring and empathic environment. We will then fully explore your thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns that may not be serving you well. This results in new ways of thinking, feeling and being. We will work towards illuminating your understanding of what you truly want to create for your life.

I’m a licensed psychologist providing virtual psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, and families in New York and New Jersey, as well as in the 35 and counting PSYPACT states (please see the list below). My areas of specialty include anxiety, trauma, ADHD, early childhood issues, and immigrant family dynamics. I also help adults navigate various life transitions and parenting issues to foster connection, balance, and growth.

You may feel discouraged, overwhelmed, or exhausted right now. You may have challenges in your personal or professional relationships. You may be struggling to find a sense of purpose. Imagine what it would be like to have someone really listen to your story.

Intergenerational family dysfunction is not inevitable. I work with adults and children to untangle relational and behavioral patterns that are often foundational to the presenting problem. I take an integrative, strength-based approach and help the client identify perceptions and attributions that may be interfering with optimal self development and fulfilling relationships. This therapeutic approach is helpful in changing dysfunctional relational dynamics to those that promote growth and well-being.

You long for peace and clarity in your life but when navigating a major life transition those goals can appear out of reach. Divorce, illness, family and career changes can leave any one of us reeling, feeling beaten down, overwhelmed, confused and alone. A therapist can provide that safe non-judgmental space to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be preventing you from moving forward. I work hard to tailor my approach to meet my client's needs always honoring the fact that this work is collaborative and each client is unique.
