Therapists in 10025

Born and raised in Manhattan, I help patients achieve a goal of satisfaction and happiness in their everyday lives. As a board-certified social worker with two Master's Degrees (Psychology & Clinical Social Work), I have the education and experience necessary to treat individuals suffering from psychological stress and impairments. I've honed my assessment and intervention skills through years of working with patients in medical crisis, and have studied under some of the most prominent and successful psychologists, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists in New York City.

I like working with people who want to know themselves better and are open to looking at their lives in a way they may not have done before. Most people seek psychological help because they want relief from pain and to feel more satisfied in their relationships, work, and with themselves. However, when they engage in examining their lives, things can take surprising turns that not only helps them achieve their goals but often results in redefining what they want in life.

The lasting effects COVID-19 have created a long lasting crisis situation that is exacerbating depression, anxiety, feelings of fear and hopelessness, and triggering unhealthy regressive patterns and behaviors. It has placed stress on marriages, partnerships and families, and has left us feeling disconnected, frustrated and fearful. If you are in distress and need help to reestablish and maintain healthy connections with your partner(s), family, friends, work environment, or yourself, I am here to help.

Looking for a therapist that's creative, easy to connect with, and willing to find a way of relating and interacting that meets your needs in a safe, personal, and respectful way? Psychotherapy's not the same for everyone, and everybody's needs are different in terms of what they hope to achieve. Whether it's frustrations with life or a job, relationship issues, pain related to loss or trauma, or merely stress & overwhelm with decision-making, it helps to have someone to talk it out with - in a concise number of sessions, or over an extended period of time.

I work from a strengths-based perspective with the belief that we all possess unique skills and abilities that can help us transcend painful circumstances, leading us to a recognition of the richness and meaning that is possible in our lives. I have worked extensively with individuals (from college age to older adulthood) and couples dealing with mental health issues such as depression; anxiety; trauma; problems in relationships; substance abuse; and bipolar disorder. I formerly specialized in psychotherapy with older adults at UCLA Health in LA for almost 10 years before moving to NYC in 2023. Now licensed in NY, NJ, CA, and MA.

Are you going through a life change, feeling anxious, or suffering from low self-esteem? Are you a parent under emotional strain or navigating a child's challenging behavior? Is your experience complicated by gender, race, cultural, sexual or religious identity? Whether you are new to therapy or disliked past providers, I can help. Opening up about your thoughts and feelings can be terrifying, or shame inducing. With the right connection, trust and pacing, momentum shifts from avoidance to confident engagement. By integrating evidence-based and psychodynamic techniques, I offer a more holistic, authentic approach to treatment.

Hello, I'm Mark. I specialize in LGBTQ+, adoption, trauma, and anxiety related issues. Do you feel overwhelmed, unheard, sad, or frustrated? Does internalized homophobia hinder your ability to create the life and relationships you desire? Do you compartmentalize your feelings and responses in different places or have hard time expressing your needs? Traumas has a way of preventing you from moving forward in your life. Finding solutions is easier when we break them down into smaller pieces or view them from different perspectives. These are some of the areas I can help you express your needs, feel heard and live the life you want.

Are you feeling frustrated and stuck? Do you sense that you can do better? Are familiar coping responses no longer serving you as well as they used to? With over 15+ years of experience, I provide virtual counseling for adults that is secure and completely confidential. My specialty is in developmental trauma, which can leave an indelible impact on our adult functioning, relationships and bodies. I am particularly interested in studying and treating trauma's impact on men’s sexual development, such as unwanted sexual urges, sexual-identity confusion, addictions and fetishes. These issues require a value-neutral and nuanced approach.

Pain is an unfortunate reality of the human experience. Sometimes, our attempts to control or avoid pain, whether it's physical, psychological, or otherwise, also pulls us away from other things in our lives that are important to us, resulting in a less fulfilling life. Your decision to pursue therapy is a significant step towards finding a more workable way to manage the things in your life that cause pain. My therapeutic approach is focused on learning to step out of the struggle against your pain and use the strengths you already possess to put you in the driver's seat of your life and be your best and most genuine self.

I believe that each person has a unique self that must respected, recognized and understood. In order to find the right therapist I feel that there has to be a sense of connection and trust that develops over time. I try to help people understand how connections to their past and their fear of the future and of change keeps them trapped in cycles of behavior amd relationships that hinder their chances for a more fulfilling life and following their goals and dreams. I can work with anyone who attempts this experience of working together and exploring their life issues.

Whether you’re entering therapy for the first time or looking to start anew, I seek to create a safe and nonjudgemental environment where we can explore your current challenges and find realistic, lasting solutions. I believe the therapeutic alliance is the cornerstone of effective treatment and strive to create an authentic rapport rooted in empathy and trust. I have experience working with individuals impacted by anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and other life stressors, including current events, work, and relationships. I am also very passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals in recovery.

If you’re looking for help, there is a good chance that you've felt overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings, or felt lost in your relationships or life itself. I collaborate with each individual and couple, helping them feel understood and seen, rather than jumping to any quick-fix solutions. Using principles and skills drawn from both skills based and compassion focused approaches, I strive to help clients learn more about their underlying values, sense of self, and patterns that have played out in their lives. Through this process, we work collaboratively to develop the skills and insight to move towards fulfillment and purpose.

I practice from a patient and caring stance that allows me to understand who you are and gives you the room to come to know all of yourself. I believe that our therapeutic relationship can bring about a space of safety and challenge, exploration and reflection. My aim is that you will find yourself authentic in relationships, will feel relief from the burden of difficult feelings, and will live a rich life full of meaning. Humor, spontaneity, and playfulness are serious business here, too. I believe that growth comes as much from our play as from our reflection.

I am a PhD Psychologist, musician, and professional coach. Clients in my practice are diverse and have come to coaching for improvements in a range of areas in their life. They include innovative thinkers, leaders, entrepreneurs, and healing practitioners who want to live meaningful lives and make an impact on the world. In my coaching practice, I fuse principles and techniques from psychology, coaching, and cutting-edge science, but most importantly I work on a deeper and more direct level. I use intuitive, dynamic, and mindfulness-based approaches alongside psychological assessments and OKRs as tools to enhance the coaching experience.

I work with people who, for a variety of reasons, feel stuck. Stuck in anxiety, stuck in a mood they cannot escape, stuck in a job or relationship they do not find satisfying, stuck remembering an event or experience they cannot forget, or stuck in a sense that their lives lack movement and a sense of meaningful direction. Psychotherapy with me is process of identifying the pattern that has led to one's feelings of immobilization. Through focusing on thoughts, feelings, dreams, and fantasies, that which was once only faintly noticed is given a voice and expression; leading to a sense of purposefulness and direction.

The goal of my therapeutic practice is to create an analytic and intuitive space to help you work on exploring and resolving your unconscious thoughts and conflicts that might be the basis of your mental distress. Fostering deeper acceptance and understanding of your unconscious thoughts and wishes can provide relief from depression, alleviate anxiety, and improve interpersonal relationships. I have empathy, openness, and an eye for psychodynamics that allows this space to be recreated each week throughout our therapeutic relationship.

Psychotherapy is a process that facilitates change, growth and renewal. There are many concerns that may bring us to therapy: a difficult relationship, a general feeling of dissatisfaction, a life transition, a traumatic experience, gender/sexual orientation issues, immigration, feelings of depression, anxiety or loss. All of these circumstances are worthy of attention.

Integration and balance. These are the two guiding principles of my therapeutic approach. Sometimes people find themselves lost, astray, or simply curious about their current state in life. When we hit our lowest point, however, we may access the greatest change within ourselves. At some point in time, we may have lost our sense of self, while in other cases we may have struggled to form a coherent identity no matter how successful or secure we may appear. Nevertheless, we all have the potential to cultivate our resiliency and better understand who we are and who we wish to be.
