Hello, my name is Dr. Keoshia Worthy and thank you for visiting my profile. The question that I am frequently asked is, “How do I know if I need therapy?” I like to approach that question by considering the common misconceptions and benefits of therapy. Therapy is not just for people with mental illnesses, someone grieving a loss, or someone who experienced a trauma. Therapy is for anyone, even the well-adjusted person. I believe the benefits from therapy are vast and vary from person to person. For example, therapy can reduce stress, improve relationships, and help with decision-making.

The decision to start therapy is personal and courageous and not always easy. Everyone goes through times when they feel more stressed out, angry, anxious or depressed. It is easier for people to explore their lives and make transformations when they are working with a therapist that they feel comfortable with and trust. My intention is to help you identify the goals you want to work on and to help you understand what is getting in the way of achieving them. I ultimately want to give you a new perspective and look at your underlying belief systems and the repetitive patterns that have been keeping you stuck.

I really enjoy working with people who want to be helped with painful feelings and experiences that have interfered with their sense of well being. All of us are limited by upsettingly negative emotions that make it harder to accomplish things that would make our lives richer, more comfortable and secure. I base my work on the principles of Mindfulnes Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy. This approach has been shown to be very successful helping anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, phobias and many other individual and relationship issues. Like most experienced therapists, I also integrate ideas from other approaches whenever appropriate.

Entering into a therapeutic process reflects the courage and hope to shape a more satisfying life - in your relationships, work, play and spirituality. I believe in the power to change and to heal our lives. In this process, we will work together to help you gain deeper self awareness and acceptance of yourself. Working creatively, gathering insight and finding concrete day to day strategies as well, we will work through whatever is interfering with your personal fulfillment. I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship issues and other personal or professional challenges one might bring in.

Psychotherapy can help you to develop greater self awareness, deepen connections with others, and create a personally meaningful life. I see myself as a concerned and nonjudgmental partner in this process. I try to foster an atmosphere of safety in which you experience a sense of freedom to think and feel. Maybe you are having trouble adjusting to a new change or are feeling stuck; perhaps you repeatedly find yourself in unhappy relationships or conflicts at work and struggle with low self-esteem. It may be that your familiar assumptions and modes of behaving, which originally developed out of need, are no longer working for you.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Do you find yourself feeling hopeless? Are you going through a difficult transition? Are you and your partner feeling emotionally distant from each other? Do you misunderstand each other and find it impossible to communicate without fighting? Are you and your partner having sex less frequently? You do not have to struggle alone. Asking for help is a sign of strength. As a compassionate and caring psychotherapist I offer you support in a safe environment free of judgment that will allow you to resolve your challenges, whether they are rooted in the past or they are present-day circumstances

I am an LCSW RSW psychotherapist with a private practice in NYC & Toronto serving clients via Zoom, phone in Ontario and NY I tend to see a broad assortment of people, many who are suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, and difficulty coping. Some struggle with being single, others within their relationship, or with their sexual authenticity Together through talk therapy, we can find a pathway to a deeper understanding and a way to move forward with confidence and security My clients are from different worlds, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, young and old, single, married, and all those in-between.

"I'd like to introduce you to someone you may not know very well, YOURSELF." I've been practicing psychotherapy since 1982 integrating both psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral perspectives. The psychotherapy journey can ultimately lead to the enhancement of conflict-free thinking and behavior which in turn can contribute to a more satisfying life.

I enjoy an active, collaborative approach with my clients, helping them to develop effective coping strategies, improving their ability to get a better understanding of themselves, and an appreciation of their strengths. I help my clients make the most of their potential for happiness and satisfaction in their personal and professional lives. My clients struggle with relationship and professional issues. They are able to articulate what they are feeling and thinking, curious to develop insight, and motivated to change negative patterns.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process where we can work together to try to understand your problems, identify obstacles, and consider new alternatives. I believe a trusting patient-therapist relationship is important to sucess in therapy. I strive to provide a warm & supportive space where you are encouraged to learn more about yourself so that you can work toward living the most rewarding and meaningful life possible.

With over 20 years proven experience, I have collaborated with a variety of clients -adults, children, families and the elderly - in improving their personal and professional relationships. By acknowledging our positionality and employing a relational, empathic approach in my practice, clients are able to successfully negotiate relationship issues, and overcome related struggles with depression and trauma. Empowerment is a major focus of our work.

Are you troubled by relationships, intimacy, or sex; has something changed that has left you unhappy, frustrated, or confused? Do you want to feel more comfortable with yourself or your partner. I create an environment for you to express yourself and help you implement practical approaches to address your concerns. I have 10+ years experience as a clinical psychologist and certified sex therapist in NYC. My practice specializes in treating men and women of all sexual orientations with their sexual health and relationship concerns, including all sexual dysfunctions, difficulties with sexual expression, and mismatched levels of desire.

Life is too short to feel stuck and not live fully. My clients and I work collaboratively on relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, job related stress, and trauma. I often work with men and women who either want to find love in their lives or who have recently experienced a loss of relationship through a painful break up. I have successfully helped clients getting "unstuck" and moving forward in their lives, work, and relationships. My approach is client-centered and relational. I relate to you based on your needs, your temperament, and your personal histories.

Therapy shouldn't be an expensive luxury. I accept many commercial in-network insurances. More than ever, with the recovery from a pandemic, inflation, and lifestyle changes, there is an increase in anxiety, depressed mood, social fears and worry about the future and unknowns. Therefore, therapy is more of a necessity for many of us.

Do you or a family member feel that life is so difficult and everything you try appears to be falling apart at the seam. Disappointment, hurt, grief and anger can morph into complicated unwanted behavior if left unresolved. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating and sleep disorders can arise when life circumstances are overwhelmingly stressful. Over the years the feedback that I have received from clients is: that I am warm, caring, understanding, easy to talk to; willing to help you tell your story by asking the questions that bring out your inner voice and easily reached by phone or text.

Most likely, you're wondering how I can help you. I've been practicing for over 30 years and specialize in: 1) marital and sex therapy (for example, erectile problems, painful intercourse, lack of sexual desire and am certified in sex therapy by the American Association of Sexual Educators, Counselors, and Therapists),- I'm always focused on increasing pleasure in your relationship; 2)reducing your depression, and 3) minimizing your compulsive eating (including weight and exercise management.). When we work together, I try to highlight your strengths so that you can take charge of your life and "fix" your problems.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Do you often feel sad, confused, anxious and angry? Call me and together we can sort through what is getting in the way of you having a full, productive, and happy life. Often, people feel overwhelmed when they don't have a full awareness of how they continue to repeat patterns learned early in life. In our work together, we can enhance your moment-to-moment awareness, decreasing "overwhelm" and increasing your ability to make the changes that you want to make. The hardest step is making the commitment to start.

Seeking counseling is one of the bravest acts one can perform. You've taken the first step to transforming your life. Therapy will support you to identify ways of managing symptoms, develop coping skills to over come obstacles, as well as promote insight and self awareness. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor that is passionate about helping others over come distress and dissatisfaction in their lives. One of the most important components to therapy is the therapeutic alliance. The therapist-client relationship creates a space for clients to openly work through problems that impair functioning.
