Teletherapy for New York, NY

Everyone deserves an opportunity for growth. The therapeutic relationship is a trusting process. I use empathy, humor, and positive regard to create a safe space to discuss distress people experience throughout the course of life. I encourage my clients to identify and focus on the things they can control when dealing with depression and anxiety. Change is challenging and often unavoidable. I work with adults (over age 21) who are looking to overcome fears and struggles by helping them learn effective ways to cope and set and maintain boundaries. My goal is to guide individuals on the road to healing, empowerment, and success.

Hi beautiful people! Need support from feeling unseen or navigating a world in which your identities are not affirmed? I'm here to support you in further harnessing your intuitive voice, as well as providing a space to explore your past, current, and potential future. As a Black/Queer/Neurodivergent provider, I am dedicated to helping you synthesize memories and experiences of your life, and how these moments might be informing your identities today. I am deeply invested in you and think of our relationship as a collaborative one in which we both discover and explore what affirms you and makes you feel seen, heard, and supported.

I am passionate about relationship dynamics, sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity, communication and intimacy with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I counsel individuals, couples and moresomes on creative relationship structures such as consensual non-monogamy. I also work extensively with mood related challenges, including anxiety, depression and OCD, as well as career transitions. As a member of the polyamorous, LGBTQ, and burner communities, I share my extensive personal and professional experience with clients.

I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage in self-reflection at some moment in their lives, whether they are transitioning through a phase or struggling with the daily stressors of everyday life that impact well-being. I envision therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client in which individuals, through guidance and introspection, can reach the best versions of themselves and develop meaningful relationships, self-fulfillment, and mastery over past and present challenges. I hold a multicultural lens with all clients I encounter and recognize the impact of race, ethnicity, and social context.

Individual, couples, and family therapy is offered here regardless of age or cultural background. Collaborative approaches allow clients to not only manage their symptoms effectively, but to also improve their quality of life and relationships. Clients within the practice are encouraged to develop effective tools to get and keep positive lasting change.

Modern men like you want to make it happen - successful marriage, fatherhood, career, etc. You need to get out of your head and speak freely, but you don't want to burden your relationships. Your partner isn't supposed to be your therapist, and if you're often feeling defensive, irritable, isolated, and overwhelmed, then it's better to get help now before things get a little bit too FUBAR. The therapeutic relationship needs to feel right, and you want a therapist who will listen to you, join you through the truth, challenge and support you, and tell you like it is when you need some honest feedback.

My practice consists of helping my clients become more effective actors in their lives. In the service of these goals, I teach them how to become better critical thinkers, (working together on creating healthy beliefs about themselves, others, and their environments), providing the mental tools required for emotional regulation and a fulfilling life. Additionally, we work together on understanding the past and present sources of troublesome behaviors and reducing them; this approach is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And, I specialize in a form of CBT called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), used to treat OCD.

Once you make the decision to seek therapy, the next step is to find the "best fit" therapist for you. My goal as a clinical psychologist is to assist each client on his/her journey to personal success. I've contributed to positive and meaningful changes in my clients lives by guiding them through feelings and alter unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Thus, assisting clients to create and maintain the life they desire.

Her method is eclectic, drawing mainly from REBT, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy. Pamela believes the best way for a person to explore complicated feelings is in a safe space, free from judgment.

Our practice, NYC Cognitive Therapy, includes a staff of male and female therapists with intensive post-graduate training in cognitive-behavior therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most widely researched and evidence-based form of therapy. CBT has been shown in more than one thousand studies to be effective in treating a wide range of psychological problems. CBT is active and teaches you the tools to be your own therapist. You are not alone and we are available to help you feel better. We also practice Gottman Method Couple Therapy, Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT).

I help individuals who seek self-knowledge and want to find meaning in the context of their lives. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship or career issues, I will work with you on increasing resilience to achieve personal growth and a deeper connection with those around you. If you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure of what to do with your life, we can work on the obstacles in your path and discover new avenues to pursue. By increasing your level of awareness and reducing negative thoughts, you will find new alternatives to achieve greater meaning and happiness.

Often in life we are faced with the unknown; the relationships, situations and experiences that may be or can feel outside of our control. With this uncertainty, fear often follows close behind. Everything can begin to feel a bit out of place. We temporarily lose our way. We do live in uncertain times which has greatly increased stressors and fears. However, what is also true is that we have this beautiful ability to adapt and continue to connect to joy. Connection is key. In our journey together, we will learn to embrace the uncertainty in life through a better understanding of you, leading to genuine healing.

I approach each client individually. There is no one size fits all in therapy. I work to learn what my clients need and how I can assist in supporting their growth and bu the skills necessary to tackle their challenges. My goal is to help in the improvement around awareness of feeling and needs, adjustments in relationships, and confidence in expressing one's self.

In my Psychology Today blog, The Minute Therapist, I focus on how changing our thoughts and deeper, underlying beliefs can help us control troubling emotions and lead more effective lives. Many people are burdened by anxiety, phobias, stress, relationship problems, depression, insomnia, anger-related issues, and sexual dysfunctions. In cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), we directly address these problems to help people develop more adaptive behaviors and ways of thinking. CBT is a time-limited treatment and the most well-documented method of therapy in use today.

Parenthood can be an exciting time full of surprises, but also challenges. It can be difficult to navigate perinatal, pregnancy and/or postpartum health while balancing the day-to-day. By fostering an empathetic environment, individuals can safely expand ways to transition into this new stage. I aim to support and empower clients by developing tools, enhancing insight and creating change to thrive.

I work to help my clients build more meaningful connections, through self-empowerment and self-growth. My style of therapy is client-centered and humanistic.
