Therapists in Kips Bay, New York, NY

My approach to therapy is flexible to suit my client's needs. I specialize in using evidence based practices(CBT/DBT) and relational therapy to address issues such as relationship issues, behavioral issues, anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, OCD, and more. You can expect authenticity and transparency in my work to help find method

I meet my clients where they are through an acceptance, holistic, client-centered, and nonjudgmental perspective. I integrate multiple approaches including psychodynamic, acceptance-based, and values in order to guide my clients towards healing and growth. I tailor evidence-based and effective treatments to the needs of my clients. My style is collaborative, open, and curious. I want to foster comfort for my clients. Together we can create space that feels safe for you. My goal is to find a pathway in understanding ourselves in the service of finding and achieving our true values and happiness.

It can be challenging to ask for help (especially when you don't know what to expect or have been disappointed in the past) but the benefits of therapy are immense. Whatever you're struggling with, talk therapy proves to be one of the most effective ways to identify unhealthy patterns and better understand ourselves. The origins of mental and emotional pain are mysteriously complex sometimes, but it's often related to unmet emotional needs and feelings of shame that drive negative thinking and impulsive/restrictive behaviors that make it harder to get better. Let's work together to help you find lasting change.

I try to help those who are struggling to reduce their emotional and behavioral conflicts and stressors in order to achieve their potential in life while in relation to the people, places and things they depend upon in their life. When a person is capable in becoming more fully aware or mindful of their feelings, thoughts and actions; while further developing a reflective, tolerant capacity; and continues working towards attempting achievement of their needs and wants where possible or learning acceptance, grieving, and moving on, then I think we are living as fully as possible.

Have you been disappointed in how you react in certain situations, in how patterns from your past repeat themselves? For many of us, losses or harms of the past haunt our present and complicate our choices. You may feel stuck or adrift, unable to find traction toward your goals or hounded by an inner critic or persistent shame.

Choosing a new therapist can be intimidating, whether it’s your first time or you’ve been in therapy forever. I respect this and try to make the process of starting therapy one that feels as comfortable as possible from our first session. I believe the most important part of being human is our ability to empathize with others, and therapy should be a space where we can tell our story and truly feel heard, understood, and validated.

If you seek a therapist who just nods his or her head, and asks: "how do you feel about that?" then I am not the right choice for you. I am a "relational" psychoanalyst who listens closely to my patient's stories, and engages in active dialogue with them. Together we form a collaborative alliance to confront and overcome your fears and anxieties. I am firmly committed to a collaborative, participatory, and holistic patient/therapist relationship. As partners, we form a trusting bond to explore the problems that interfere with your ability to live a happy and healthy life.

Psychotherapy is not limited to exploring your past, but can also focus on discovering solutions for the present. I have over 18 years experience working with young and mature adults to overcome obstacles to their wellness and mental health. I help clients to identify and leverage their strengths and resources to resolve recurring difficulties and problems that they encounter. The psychotherapy process is one of both exploration, expert guidance, relational, and discovering that which may not be visible or understood on one's own, so that the individual may be better equipped for having holistic health.

Are you suffering? Do you feel like you are out of touch with your best self? Do you question your own role in life, in your relationships, work?

Are you struggling as a parent, student, teacher, or in terms of your career path? If you respond "yes" to any of these than I am here to offer you hope and help. I work effectively with a wide range of people of all ages, backgrounds and types of problems.

In my experience, few individuals come to therapy feeling that a diagnosis adequately captures their difficulties, hopes, and fears. Instead, the people I work with sometime describe feeling blocked in their ability to express themselves authentically, preoccupied by past relationships, or confused by partners who have not supplied more. Some individuals may even have difficulty initially finding the right words to describe the things they'd like to change. Finding these words-the right words-to describe what's wrong and what relief would look like is a central part of treatment and not often perfectly clear at the beginning.

I aspire to create a safe, trusting, and non-judgmental environment that will allow you to explore and gain greater knowledge of yourself and your relationships. Through our therapeutic relationship we will identify the positive and negative patterns in your life, empowering you to make the necessary changes to meet your goals, both short and long term.

Our thoughts come from our emotions which are created by our experiences and influences in our lives. These thoughts affect our beliefs, perceptions and actions. They have become ingrained in us appearing to be natural or instinctual.

My hope is through our therapeutic relationship we discover the positive and negative patterns in your life, learning techniques and resolutions which will allow you to be the architect of your future.
