Therapists in 10010

Thank you for stoping by my practice profile. I am grateful you are looking to find support to live life to your fullest. I work with people who are doing their best to live successfully and continue to struggle for various reasons. I drive my practice by respecting and actively affirming your cultural experiences, identities, and intersectionalities. The impact of systemic oppression and racism is traumatic and integrating systemic experiences and their relationship to the challenges you are managing, is foundational to my work with you.

Understanding where your difficulties are coming from, can help dissipate the problems of living and help you grow. My training is in individual, couples and family therapy, and I have over ten years of advanced postgraduate training, which includes four years of in-depth training in clinical theory and practice. I am also an experienced child and adolescent psychotherapist, and have published material in the field.

Therapy can help you effect change in your life and make it more meaningful, fuller, more joyful, or more vibrant. It is wonderful that you are taking this first step in gaining possibilities for yourself. Life can be full of tension and it is helpful to talk with someone who can empower you and help you find your calm, your center, and your agency. I will approach your care without assumptions or judgments, with curiosity and an intent for us to both be surprised and create and discover new experiences that facilitate an amazing life.

Do you or your child struggle to express your emotions with words? Sometimes, traditional talk therapy may not be sufficient to overcome the obstacles that hinder us from understanding our feelings. By using art therapy, we access a different part of our brain that promotes growth, self-discovery, and support. We'll delve into your past experiences to understand how they shaped the person you are today. Through collaborative work, we will strive towards understanding your behavior patterns, how they may be inhibiting you from living your best life, and find ways to overcome them.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step towards improving your mental health! My name is Jasmin Milliner and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in the state of New York. Working with children and their families for almost 10 years, I have gained the experience and tools needed to help individuals and families reach their highest potential. I am here to create an open, judgment free zone of healing and growth.

I believe in being an active collaborator in psychotherapy sessions. My style is warm, frank, and attentive to the processes of healing and change. Therapy is not a one size fits all type of experience. Using creativity, exploration and feedback, we will discover the unique combination of insight, emotional processing, coping skills and lifestyle changes that will help you reach your goals and enhance your sense of well-being.

I believe that a positive and genuine therapeutic relationship is essential to successful treatment. My empathetic nature fosters an authentic and trusting therapeutic alliance with my clients, creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment for each individual. I am passionate and dedicated to working with my clients to develop tools and find ways to help each of them lead happier and more satisfying lives. I use a range of therapeutic modalities to help clients explore their past, to better understand their present situation, and to develop specific skills to reach their goals and to improve their overall quality of life.
