Therapists in New York

You may have wondered whether therapy could be helpful to you. I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. You can talk to me about anything; nothing you tell me will shock or surprise me. I can help you work through your difficulties and also help you become your own therapist by learning how to better deal with challenges that come up in life. I work well with clients struggling with anxiety, OCD, panic, depression, relationship, eating and body image, and addiction issues. Clients often see reduction in symptoms and improved well being early on in therapy.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my practice. For the past 25 years I have been in private practice as a clinical psychologist. Although I started out specializing mainly in treating young children and families my practice has expanded over the years to include adolescents, adults and couples. I am intensively trained and qualified to provide DBT to adults, teens, children and families and also have the certification in DBT-PE for treating adults with trauma histories. Additionally I am trained in Trauma Focused Child Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) and have worked with children who struggle with many types of trauma.

Overcome your personal obstacles and maximize your potential. I can help you gain awareness and control of your emotions, build improved relationships with others, and effect positive practical changes in your life. Treatment can be brief or long-term. Both in-person or video therapy is available from the comfort of your home.

Feel better faster with Intensive Therapy to address anxiety, sleeplessness, addictions, and depression. I specialize in the treatment of the long term effects of stress and trauma using the Intensive Therapy approach. Intensive therapy is structured psychotherapy designed to get to the root of the problem faster so clients can move on with their lives with less chronic symptoms. I use research-proven treatments integrated and tailored to meet the individual needs of each client. My approach is creative and collaborative, helping my clients confront what is often painful and otherwise intolerable, and work towards true healing.

What if you had all the tools necessary to connect with and love your partner more deeply? What if you could learn how to reignite your love and create a meaningful life with your partner? With over a decade of experience in couples and family therapy, I am here to support you in rebuilding your life of love and trust. Most people are not naturally "good" at sharing their love, but it is a skill that can be learned. Relationships require dedication and practice. No matter what you are going through we will find a way to make your relationship what you know it could be. I understand what it's like to be vulnerable.

Recovering From Even The Most Extreme Distress is Possible! If lasting change is wanted, both body and mind must be addressed. They are inseparable and affect each other positively and negatively. I specialize in both traditional therapy and somatic(body-oriented) approaches. These include Reichian Orgonomy, medication reduction, depth psychotherapy, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, and Rosen Bodywork. I am experienced working with all levels of distress, including schizophrenia, chronic anxiety, depression, and addiction. I work with individuals, couples, children, families, and groups. I work on sliding scale based on willingness to work/ability to pay. I also do house calls!

Client’s usually seek therapy when they feel “stuck”, unable to move beyond the obstacles they are facing. I am passionate about helping people tackle life’s challenges, to help them feel more empowered and in control. Rooted in a cognitive behavioral style of therapy, I aim to help my clients identify and eventually combat harmful beliefs and behaviors that may be holding them back from achieving their goals and living the life they desire. I work with my clients to build a “toolkit” full of skills that they can take with them outside the therapy room.

We believe in compassion, collaboration, and creativity.

In life, we encounter many situations that seem to push us to our limits, or beyond. Some of these arise from within, others, from our surroundings. When these situations become intolerable, and nothing we’ve tried has worked, frustration, or even despair, may set in. At this point, we can give in or give up, or we can seek help and renewed hope. Whether you have been struggling mightily and at length, or mildly and briefly, I would be honored to meet you, to get to know you, to hear about what you’ve been going through, and to join with you in finding ways to make things better.

Are you having difficulty navigating the challenges of day-to-day life? Do small tasks seem like giant hurdles to overcome or complete? Are you having difficulty being present in the moment, or have you recently experienced a new life event that you're finding difficult to adjust to? Fostering self-awareness, inner peace, and a self-guided exploration of your true authentic self are pillars of my practice. Let's work together to identify positive ways to cope with every day stressors, all while reinforcing your personal strengths, and promoting overall wellness.

Do you feel stuck ? Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions? Using the language of movement in conjunction with talk therapy, we will establish a conversation toward change. Coping techniques will be explored in order to navigate through difficult life changes .I primarily work with issues related to aging, and acceptance of life changes that aging brings as well as embracing the future. Traditional talk therapy is also utilized to underline and support effective change. Group and individual sessions available

Throughout life, we all gather scrapes, bruises, and cuts. Usually, we try to do our best to clean these wounds, and go on with our lives. However, we might sometimes be busy, unable, or too nervous to clean these injuries thoroughly. As a result, we tend to find ways to cover them up quickly. Early stages of the therapeutic process might include approaching those old wounds, unwrapping the old bandages covering them. As we approach and discuss these challenges, we can spend time conceptualizing coping mechanisms that encourage healing. Over time, something that hurt so profoundly might begin to heal into a less visible scar.

Therapy can look and feel very different with each provider. You or your child may have seen therapists in the past who were not able to make a meaningful connection. Or maybe your child has never seen a therapist. At Brooklyn Child Therapy, we work to first build a strong, trusting, empathetic relationship. BCT's goal is to support you and your child by providing a safe space to explore emotions and life experiences, and to practice useful thinking and behavioral strategies. Neurodivergence is welcome and celebrated.

Water's Edge Therapy, Coaching & Consulting: Guilt, shame, and feeling “broken” can cause us to believe we are stuck and unable to live a life that is meaningful for us. Trauma & adversity are some of the primary reasons that one develops maladaptive patterns that may make us feel safe, temporarily. Long-term living in this "survival mode" will steal joy, peace and clarity from our lives. We each possess innate strength and resiliency, that coupled with the necessary support and tools, allows us to change, grow, and truly thrive in all aspects of life.
