Therapists in New York

Thank you for considering me as your therapist! I'm a warm and relational provider who specializes in working with emerging adults, high-achieving women, members of the LGBT+ community, anxiety and depression, a history of sexual abuse or sexual trauma, current or historical family conflict, and relationship exploration.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

I have 31 years of experience helping people who are hurting change their lives. Often, we develop skills to survive difficult situations -childhood abuse, bullying in school, a bad car accident, sexual assault, an abusive marriage or boss - and it's hard to stop using those old skills, even when we no longer need them. We react in a new relationship as if we have to protect ourselves from things in the past. This often leads to more pain and unwanted outcomes. I can help you recognize those maladaptive coping skills. Change is difficult and often scary, but so worth it. I will be there cheerleading you as you practice new skills.

My background is in trauma-informed care and sexual abuse treatment. Most of my clientele are trying to manage depressive symptoms, anxiety, personality disorders, and battling various mental health conditions exacerbated by life. Some of the clients I see are also trying to identify who they are as individuals and find their way within this world. I work with many families, surrounding both complex and unique family issues. I am well versed in working with couples struggling with communicating with one another and having complex and unique marital issues.

I offer an interactive, practical, comprehensive, respectful and resourceful style of therapy that helps people shift their focus from wondering, "What's wrong with me?" to asking a very different question: "What's right about me?" My sessions, for both individuals and couples, are designed to identify effective and practical problem-solving strategies, as well as to uncover inner strengths and healing resources to address your concerns. I am open-minded and value cultural and religious diversity.

My approach to therapy is clear, curious, warm, and adaptive to your needs. I utilize a blend of techniques from various therapeutic modalities that are proven effective and backed by research. You can expect our work to flow through two main focal points: practical insights and exercises based on neuroscience and mind-body integration that bring needed relief; and a deeper exploration of lifelong patterns in the subconscious mind to bring lasting change and healing. I am a supportive agent toward self-knowing so my clients can inhabit their lives and relationships from a place of vibrancy and clarity.

I am a caring, eclectic, and nonjudgmental therapist who specializes in working with adolescents, ages 12-24. I come from a place of empowerment and am trained in CBT, DBT, talk therapy, motivational interviewing, and superhero therapy. I am also in the process of getting certified in TF-CBT. I start where the person I am working with is and get to know them! I try different things with clients and see what they like and don't like, and we go from there. I don't believe therapy is one-size-fits-all. I love helping young people work toward their goals and feel better about themselves!

Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved.

Hello! My name is Budy (pronounced Beauty) . I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience working as therapist, Director and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, parenting problems, and navigating the child welfare system. I am experienced in treating physical trauma, emotional and sexual abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I consider the client/therapist relationship to be the most important thing in counseling. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity & compassion.

If you are unfamiliar with marriage and family therapy, be assured that you don't have to be married or bring your family to therapy! Marriage and family therapists help individuals, couples, & families to view things from a systemic approach. This means how family behaviors, including our extended family, community, and other meaningful relationships, influence mental health. My experience includes assisting individuals, couples, and families suffering from trauma, sexual abuse, child and adult ADHD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and supporting LGBTQIA+ youth and adults.

I have had the privilege of supporting clients through difficulties, including trauma, depression, sexual abuse, anger management, dysfunctional relationships, and issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity. I specialize in working with clients who've experienced trauma. Trauma has a widespread impact and its pain is often managed alone and the impact stays with us. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other minority groups have experienced issues that have significantly impacted their mental health and I want create a space for them where they are empowered and affirmed.

My style is warm and genuine. Through empathy and validation I strive to offer a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere. My goal is to help you gain insight and practical tools to improve your quality of life. Providing support and understanding along with coping strategies helps to alleviate problematic thinking, behaviors, and symptoms.

I'm Scott Morgano, an LCSW with 20 years of experience working with adults, children, and adolescents with various needs and eight years of experience working with adolescents and adults who have been the perpetrators and/or victims of sexual abuse. I take an analytical and supportive approach to working with all of my clients to help them fulfill their treatment goals. The clients I typically work with are children ranging from 5-18 years old. I have had over twenty years of experience working with children of various ages, as well as children and adults on the autism spectrum.

I see you. I hear you. I understand the pain you're going through. You've been through emotional, physical or sexual abuse at the hands of someone who was supposed to love and protect you. It's not your fault, and I am here to help you overcome the pain and regain control of your life.  Mood swings, intense anxiety, feeling inadequate as a parent, codependency and struggling with your identity are all completely understandable responses. My goal is to help you learn to trust your judgment, embrace your flaws, and rediscover your worth.  You deserve love, happiness, and a bright future. I am here to help you achieve those goals.

Deciding on the right therapist for you or a loved one can be challenging. You may be going through a difficult time or have had trouble resolving an issue from the past. You may not know how to deal with a situation you are in, or fear things may never get better. But there is hope, and I am ready to support you and your goals. I am a licensed clinical social worker in practice for 15 years. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults, in both individual and family therapy. I have worked in outpatient, hospital, and legal system settings. I also provide forensic evaluations for immigration (asylum, UVisa, SIJ).

I provide psychotherapy for adult individuals and couples in New York City. My areas of clinical expertise include anxiety and depression, shame, trauma and sexual abuse, addictions and compulsions and relationship issues. Many of the individuals who come to see me feel "stuck," unable to achieve their goals, form deep relationships or experience their lives as meaningful. We work together collaboratively, exploring thoughts, feelings, memories, dreams and desires to locate solutions. The couples that I see are struggling with communication; I teach them a new way of listening, allowing them to get to the core of their conflicts.

It is no secret, life is overwhelming and sometimes we need help finding the balance. I take an eclectic approach to my work with clients. I’ve been trained and educated in many treatment modalities, and it is essential we build a plan together that is personalized and targeted for your needs. My goal is to provide a safe and confidential space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self, and receive the support you need non-judgmentally. You can grow to your fullest potential when you have the right support and tools.
