Trauma Focused Therapists in 11103

I am a bilingual Clinical Social Worker, with over 20 years of experience both as a therapist and clinical supervisor, treating anxiety, depression, PTSD and other life issues. I understand that seeking help can be a difficult step. I will listen to your concerns attentively and with care to define your expectations and goals for treatment. I believe lives can be improved, and my optimism stems from witnessing clients change relational interactions, emotional responses, and creating more satisfying life's narratives. My approach is guided by psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, problem-solving principles.

Whether you’re looking to tackle unwanted and unhelpful behaviors or striving to work through a traumatic experience - your wellbeing and healing is my number one priority. Clients working with me can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental and encouraging environment to effectively communicate stressors and dive deeper into the root of emotional patterns. I believe in empowering clients to take ownership of their emotions, to speak about challenging life experiences, and identify healthy coping behaviors to lead a positive life.

I have been a Clinical Psychologist for the past 24 years. I am specialized in treating children, adolescents, adults and couples experiencing various relationship and individual problems. Areas of specialization include: anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and family relational problems. In addition, I specialize in treating children with ADHD/ADD and other learning disabilities. In addition to providing psychotherapy, I also administer psychological and neuropsychological evaluations.

Are you someone who is looking to deepen their understanding of Self, someone who wonders about who they are at their core, someone who seeks to embody the fullest expression of themselves? I believe that by learning to approach your Self with compassion, curiosity, non-judgment, and radical acceptance, you can begin to see your Self, the world, and your life with much more clarity, making it easier to decide on next steps, make changes, and live a full life.

(*not currently accepting new clients) Depression, anxiety and trauma can interfere with our relationships, creativity, spontaneity and work. I utilize a collaborative, individualized approach to treating these issues, and teach practical coping skills using a blend of warmth, focus, compassion and humor.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting and overwhelming experience. In addition to the normal stressors of daily life one may also be struggling with depression, anxiety, and disturbances in mood, making finding support a difficult task. But if you are seeking that support you are already on the path to building new positive coping skills and a better understanding of yourself. A better relationship with yourself can only be fostered in a safe, supported environment where you are recognized as an individual.

Not accepting new clients at this time, but feel free to check-in and connect! Feeling sad, anxious or overwhelmed? I’m here to listen. I believe that therapy should be accessible for all who seek support and guidance. In my practice, I strive to create a nurturing and safe environment where my clients feel empowered to make positive changes in their lives. I am passionate about helping clients find more effective ways to cope with grief, loss, anxiety, depression and other stressors so that they can find a sense of hope, joy, and contentment.

Taking the initial steps to begin psychotherapy can be intimidating but the process of therapy has the potential to transform your life. Survival skills that may have helped us in the past may have become an obstacle to thriving in the present. This may contribute to feeling stuck in painful relationships, unrewarding jobs and struggling with depression and anxiety. I treat a wide range of concerns and problems including relationship and family of origin issues. My specialties include relational trauma grief and loss, anxiety and depression, LGBT issues, adult adoptees, domestic violence. Additionally, I have experience and enjoy working with artists.

Are you feeling as if everything in your life is spiraling downward? Perhaps you are tired, sad, lonely, having difficulties concentrating and focusing. Are you having difficulty coping with an event that occurred in your past? You may be feeling fearful or mistrustful of others as a result of this past event. Do you feel anxious and find yourself constantly worrying about things? Is your relationship with your significant other plagued with constant fighting? Do you feel like no matter what you do, nothing ever gets better? Do you feel like giving up? I am here to let you know, that you are not alone, and there is help.

Teleios' mission is to provide holistic, culturally sensitive, and individualized counseling services that focuses on providing individual, couples, family and children psychotherapy to people from all backgrounds, age groups and walks of life, as well as providing parent coaching and anger management classes. Our therapists tailor their therapeutic approach to fit each client’s needs, knowing that a “one-size-fits-all” treatment plan does not work.

I believe that we all possess the ability to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, which can serve as a guide in helping us to overcome long-standing or temporary upsetting obstacles in life. I have worked as a clinician in diverse settings;I'm currently receiving post-graduate training at the William Alanson White Institute 2016-2019.I provide psychotherapy in Spanish and English to children/adolescents, families, and also adults. I specialize in treating trauma related issues, difficulties with depression and/or anxiety that can, at times, create problems in different environments (work, school, at home) and within relationships.

All you need is yourself. Individual therapy provides a safe environment where you can learn about your self and have the opportunity to create a change in your life. When mind, body and spirit are in harmony, happiness is the natural result.

Do you struggle in family, romantic or work related relationships? With addiction? Maybe you experience anxiety, sadness or anger and are struggling with significant life transitions or past events which were traumatic? Giving you the space to voice your feelings, needs, and thoughts is central to my work with you. I believe everyone has strengths that can be used to change any life situation. Our focus would be to identify these strengths to allow you to move forward in your journey.

Every person is different. Using a client-centered approach, I work with your individual needs and focus for therapy. Sometimes clients may seek change in their lives, want to process experiences or understand themselves better. Whether you are sad about the past or worried about the future, I am well versed in multiple therapeutic modalities to be able to help.

First off, congratulations on taking a major step for yourself by seeking a therapist. It would be an honor to help you further develop your sense of self, explore the depth of what you've experienced and begin to find and celebrate the joy in your life.
