If you feel frustrated that you haven't been able to make the changes you want in your life call to schedule a session today! I have over 20 years of experience in helping people to change the things that cause pain and suffering in their lives. Often we repeat patterns of thought and behavior and need to connect more deeply to what our underlying issues truly are, when clients gain more awareness and connection to their deeper selves they are able to make different and better choices and change their lives.

I help people feel better and improve their lives with psychotherapy and music therapy. If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, addiction or everyday stress with relationships, work or family, if you have a child with autism or other special needs, or if you struggle with addiction and you want a fluid and creative approach to therapy that helps you go deep to the core of your issues, I can help. I also work with musicians and artists of all kinds on issues of performance anxiety, stress and burnout.

Therapy is a bridge of communication that fosters healing, growth & insight. It's important for clients to feel safe & to have their voice heard & truly be seen. My theoretical orientation is an integrative approach that incorporates humanistic, psychodynamic & cognitive behavioral ideologies. This allows me the flexibility to give individualized care that will help my clients. Clients are encouraged to develop goals they hope to accomplish; explore their thoughts & feelings & the root causes of their core beliefs; learning to challenge themselves; & create healthy coping tools to assist in their healing process.

Sonia is a social worker who did graduate research on healing from collective trauma.  She has worked with clients from a variety of race and class backgrounds, and she has expertise in working with Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.  She has experience working with adolescents, parents, families, and young adults, on a broad range of issues. Sonia believes that changes happen when we have a loving and empathic environment in which we are treated with respect and dignity. We are then able to effectively explore the ways we have been hurt, have adequate space to heal, and rewrite limiting narratives about ourselves.

I am an experienced Clinical Social Work/Therapist of Puerto Rican origen, fully bilingual and bicultural with knowledge of cross-cultural, indigenous and other spiritual healing practices and traditions. I firmly believe that spirituality is key to healing, transformation and wholeness. In my practice, I incorporate spirituality-informed clinical interventions in a unique treatment approach that is holistic, strength-based and trauma-focused. My goal is to guide you in a healing process that facilitates a more balanced and grounded sense of self and that promotes self-regulation in behavioral, emotional and mental states.

With openness and loving acceptance, I welcome each person as a unique, creative whole. I value all aspects of each individual, cherishing each behavior as having an important function. I collaborate with each client on identifying patterns, habits, beliefs and blocks, which contribute to stress as well as interfere with feeling fulfillment, satisfaction and joy. Together we examine different areas of life: purpose, career, relationships, grief/loss, trauma recovery and much more. Using a holistic approach, I welcome tears and laughter, joys and fears, anger and sorrow, letting go and embracing anew.

I believe there is no one single way of working with people who enter therapy. Your cultural identity, personality traits, and presenting issues guide the way that I approach therapy with you. My goal as a therapist is to help you better understand yourself so you can achieve new patterns of living.

I am a New York State licensed clinical social worker. I work with a variety of issues, including sexuality, gender, body dysmorphia, work and relationship problems, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma and PTSD, depression, and substance abuse.

SPECIAL NOTICE: WE OFFER PHONE & VIDEO SESSIONS. Anxious about this current virus crisis? Email us @ intake@embracingjoy.com for a FREE complimentary consultation. I am a holistic depth oriented psychotherapist with a speciality working with adults and couples in their 20-40's. My style is warm, interactive and based on the individual. I specialize in working with women who are single and looking for love. I also specialize in helping couples become more intimate and find ways to communicate better alleviating a lot of arguing and distress.

Societal norms today often inaccurately inform us that asking for help or being vulnerable is a sign of weakness. As a result, many of us tend to get “stuck” in dynamics that just aren't working for us. In the words of Brene Brown, “vulnerability is not weakness, it is our greatest measure of courage”. Therapy success rates are often dictated by the 'ideal client-therapist fit'. Whatever your concern is, let’s talk it through and see if we are a good fit to collaboratively work through the challenges that you are facing. No issue is insignificant enough for therapy if it is taking away from your joy and quality of living.

I am a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, hypnoanalyst, coach, marriage/couple and sex therapist, and systemic family constellations therapist. I have ca. 25 years of professional experience in various techniques of psychotherapy, couples counseling, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, relaxation, and body-mind techniques. Having a large international clientele, I am a well-established online coach and therapist as well. I provide clinical supervision to professional psychotherapists, counselors, and psychotherapy interns. For more information, please, check out my website: www.drannafekete.com

As a therapist, I seek to empower people with self-knowledge, self-awareness, and understanding. Within my practice, I find human experience can vary from day to day. Sometimes, it can feel like skydiving, oscillating between extreme highs and extreme lows. My practice serves to engage people to have a more positive experience with themselves in a safe space. I approach therapy from a place of discovering your strengths in a holistic manner, in order to help you address your unique life motivators and stressors. My goal is to give you the opportunity to process and grow from your hidden inner conflicts.

Jen has experience working with adults seeking support with codependency, sex addiction, betrayal trauma, love addiction, relationship issues, family of origin issues, and trauma. Jen works in a private practice setting, offering a comfortable and intimate surrounding in which to share your personal stories. Jen values her strong therapeutic relationships with her clients and engages with each client in a non-judgmental, nurturing, and empathic manner to ensure that each client has the opportunity to feel heard and understood. 

I approach our time in therapy with a "beginner's mind" - that is, recognizing my role as both the observer and listener of client's stories in knowing that we, as individuals, are far greater than what our past experiences assume us to be. Therapy offers a vantage point to bear witness to the narratives that block the inner wisdom of our mind and body. I work with adolescents and young adults with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, stress and anger management, low self-worth, interpersonal relationships, coping with life transitions, and navigating the Spiritual Path of awakening.

During these uncertain times, we are all being forced to adapt to new ways of life due to Covid-19. I am currently conducting all my sessions remotely, by videochat or phone. I have been happy to see how effective working this way can be, even for clients dealing with extreme trauma. We can all use as much support as we can get at this time. It may be a good time to build a relationship with a therapist. Please get in touch to discuss your personal needs and to see if I might be the person to provide the right help for you. I work well with clients who are ready to deal actively with their issues and see real progress.

Each one of us can achieve positive change. I see people who are seeking more for themselves and have realized that the way they have been living no longer feels right or helpful. Whether you need support with life challenges and transitions, working through relationship concerns, managing difficult feelings, or healing from past experiences, our work together focuses on establishing a safe, caring place in which to learn more about yourself and develop greater capacity within and in your relationships and life.

Welcome. This time of global change and uncertainty makes it more crucial than ever that we have supportive connection and compassion, and we choose to love ourselves. It's my honor to work with people who want to be their authentic selves in the world (rather than who their history tells them they should be), and recognize their right to find meaning, satisfaction, and joy in living. With our relationship as a support, I'll invite you to expand your awareness, uncover childhood messages that may be limiting your life choices, explore your identity and existing roles, and guide yourself toward the self-love that is life-sustaining.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming because it is crucial to find the right fit. Knowing this, I aim to create a strong therapeutic relationship with an emphasis on trust and acceptance. My style is interactive, practical, and infused with sensitivity and a sense of humor. We'll work collaboratively to set goals, identify barriers to growth, increase coping skills, and build on existing strengths. My aim is to assist you to access your own inner wisdom and resilience.

Therapy is a desired journey for self-discovery at any point in our lives, and an opportunity to access our own inner resources for self-empowerment. In my practice, I integrate Western psychotherapy interventions with Eastern methods of healing. For 24 years, my cross-cultural work and clinical experience have fostered a global perspective on mental health with deep empathy and nonjudgement. I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, EMDR, meditation, & Emotional Freedom Techniques, & polyvagal informed therapy. My focus is the full spectrum of traumatology/PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, & other crises.

My 31 year practice is designed to compassionately guide you through the problem that brought you into therapy and to help you find the vitality, authenticity & insight you need to take over my job. Our work will be collaborative, exploring your experiences, behaviors & beliefs so that you can consider what you want to change. I see individuals, couples & groups, I specialize in Couple Therapy--including sex therapy.I'm trained in Attachment Theory & the mind/body connection.
