Spirituality Therapists in SoHo, New York, NY

“Everything can be taken from us but one thing, the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way” — Viktor Frankl. It is my firm belief that we free ourselves to think and act in new ways when we are willing to embrace the exploration of the self and develop insights into the motivations behind our behavior. We will work together to build a shared understanding of the obstacles that you are facing, whether that means improving your interpersonal relationships, exploring your identity/sexuality/spirituality, strengthening your self esteem, finding motivation and success in your career, navigating overwhelming and traumatic experiences, or identifying maladaptive patterns that may be acting as barriers to the life you want. I offer both short and long term psychotherapy to adolescents and adults seeking assistance with anxiety, mood disorders, mood dysregulation, obsessive thinking, compulsive behavior, ADHD, substance abuse, anger, impulsivity, highly sensitive temperament, and psychoeducation related to psychiatric medication management.

I believe that therapy works best when it helps us get in touch with things we're not aware of and don't want to be aware of. We are all motivated to avoid painful thoughts, feelings, and memories. But along with that lack of awareness comes confusion, isolation, and the inability to act to improve our lives. In our work, we will strive together to figure out what you are unable to think about and feel, and then work through what we discover in a safe and supportive environment. This work can be very difficult, but its difficulty is also a measure of how important and life-changing it can be.

Desires drive our lives—what we want, when, and how. Our efforts are focused on moving towards what we desire and away from what we do not want. The more inflexible or rigid our desires become, the more disappointment and anger we feel when faced with undesired outcomes. Frequently, in our pursuit of fulfilling these desires, we may drift away from aligning with our values or becoming the person we aspire to be. And that can be painful. Anxiety and fear often become ingrained habits aimed at avoiding undesired outcomes—”a need for control to achieve what I want or to ensure I don’t get what I fear.”

AVAILABLE FOR TELETHERAPY SESSIONS: In facing the world today, people often struggle with the problems of life and living that can manifest through all kinds of physical, psychological and spiritual sufferings. These afflictions can leave the individual emotionally conflicted, terribly confused and questioning what is of ultimate concern. In addition to the individual needing relief from and insight into such dreadful suffering, one may also aspire for greater Self understanding and realization, beyond the constraints of the personal past. Maybe I can help with some of this.

No matter how fortunate you may be, still human life is difficult. Despite your best efforts, at times life's stresses can be too much: you may be overwhelmed. Hurt, fear, guilt, anger, shame, grief: feeling bad can alert you to where the trouble lies, or add to your emotional burdens. Confusion, isolation, loneliness, restlessness, worry, despair, or addictive attempts to find relief - all of these painful states are attempts to ward off problems or fix what's wrong, but they can also make things worse.

I work with people prosecuted for white collar crimes, and their families, who want to come out of isolation and join a supportive community that will help them navigate their journeys through the criminal justice system – to new ethical, productive, joyful lives on the other side of their issues. I am also an attorney-at-law and founded the law firm of GrantLaw, PLLC in NYC. We provide private general counsel services to people and families facing white collar criminal justice issues, legal crisis management, strategy and team building, services to family-owned/closely-held businesses, and special situation and pro bono clients.

I help people who are suffering from depression, chronic disease and PTSD restore health, manage stress and overcome limiting beliefs so they can feel empowered and vibrant again. When one’s authentic self is blocked, mental health issues can form and grow into depression, addiction, anxiety, phobias etc. Hypnosis, somatics and art therapy are some of the powerful modalities I use to help bring balance and union between the conscious and unconscious mind. Through Hypnosomatics we cultivate wellness in the entire personality, that helps people see their true self, rather than who they present to the world.

As a certified recovery coach, I work with clients who seek to change habits and gain clarity. My approach to sobriety includes providing education, support and integration of tools which aid a client's physical and emotional well-being.

Together, we identify your inherent strengths and goals to think creatively and overcome barriers that keep you stuck.

Welcome to my page! Are you feeling overwhelmed by your emotions or the emotions of others? Do you struggle to set boundaries or constantly prioritize others' needs over your own? Or, maybe you can't remember the last time you felt like yourself. Therapy can help uncover the barriers that are in the way so you can begin to feel like your true self again. As a trauma informed somatic experience and ketamine assisted psychotherapist, I work with clients in uncovering the activation patterns that keep them stuck. Additionally, I work with individuals with complex trauma histories and/or those with medical or syndromal conditions.

As a Trauma Therapist I use an experiential, body-centered approach that focuses on the acceptance, exploration and integration of your authentic experience in the moment. This approach recognizes that our bodies and our emotions hold tremendous wisdom. I will facilitate this process collaboratively and respectfully so you can express yourself, expand your awareness, and examine the patterns and beliefs about yourself that create inner conflict and struggles. You will discover options and choices, and access your potential, so you can find satisfying answers to your questions and concerns. Fundamental and sustainable change in your life is our key objective.

Life can present myriad difficulties. We may be navigating individual challenges--life transitions, unstable relationships, loneliness, confusion, or career stress. We may also be troubled by the challenges we face collectively, like systemic injustice, our rapidly shifting world, and climate change. A trusted therapist can provide a space for us to express ourselves and can support us through the process of healing.

My practice is guided by your needs and goals. Through an integrative approach, I will help you identify your strengths, goals, and the barriers that have been keeping you from improving your life. By understanding how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interrelate, you will be better equipped to make effective changes. I will help you acquire and incorporate skills that will allow you to improve your overall wellness, relationship with others, and most importantly, your relationship with yourself.

Adolescents and young people are creating a bridge for their adult future. I am passionate about guiding this process of transformation for the world’s future. I work with parents, families, children, youth, and adolescents to learn to fully live in the world and to claim a place for each individual for the whole. Gary teaches teens to meet their absolute place in the world. Together I help each adolescent move beyond stuck-ness, anxiety or uncertainty. You may be a parent struggling with your teen’s screen or gaming addiction with no solution. Left alone, it could take years - if ever – for him move to a zest for life.

Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist and a TA psychotherapist (transactional analysis). I work with a variety of psychological challenges but I am specialized in working with individuals struggling with eating disorders (bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, binge-eating disorder). The individuals I work with often come to therapy having tried many behavioral interventions that brought little change (being more disciplined with their diet, exercising more/less, creating plans etc.).
