Adults Support Groups in New York, NY

Traumatic events can impact every aspect of one’s daily life and well-being, and each individual has a unique experience and response to trauma. This virtual support group aims to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for individuals who have experienced traumatic events (e.g., physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, witnessing abuse, domestic violence, bullying, being a victim of kidnapping or trafficking, living in an area of war, or prolonged medical treatments, etc.) in their life. Group members will have an opportunity to reflect on their personal experiences and connect with others.

I provide psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and families and I utilize an integrative approach to address a wide range of issues.
I bring warmth, compassion, humor and empathy to the therapeutic relationship, and I honor and prioritize the development of trust as a necessary foundation for successful treatment. I will create a comfortable atmosphere where you can feel safe and empowered to share your thoughts and feelings freely without fear of judgment. When working with me, you will be able to identify your strengths, gain a deep understanding of the themes in your life, and gain insight into past experiences, relationship patterns, and unhealthy coping skills that may be keeping you stuck.

Sometimes life’s everyday challenges are more than we can handle. Small issues that go unchecked often cause the greatest difficulties. My practice serves children, adolescents, adults and couples who need professional support to say how they feel, discover what they want and find needed answers. In a safe space, each individual is encouraged to encounter and express every feeling they are experiencing.

We are all touched by grief at some point in our lives. Learning how to cope with the death of a loved one doesn’t have to be something that you do alone. If you are suffering from the loss of a partner, sibling, friend, child, or someone who was important in your life, then this virtual grief support group may help you navigate the healing process while being in the presence of others who have had a similar experience. This group meets weekly and provides emotional support for its members, as well as strategies for coping with loss, caring for oneself while grieving, etc.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in working with adolescents and adults.
I take an empathic and supportive approach to therapy by establishing a safe space for my clients to uncover and explore painful emotions. Whether you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or are experiencing chronic stress, feeling anxious or depressed, together we will identify goals for therapy. I tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of every client—with the aim of helping the client develop new coping skills, enhance self-awareness, foster positive change, and increase overall satisfaction and well-being. My specialized training includes both cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy.

Positive Dependence groups are designed for individuals who want to work on how they relate in important relationships in their lives. Members learn building block concepts, coping skills, and tools to apply. They learn how to depend on oneself and others in a mutual, empowering fashion. Both the culturally problematic term "Codependent," and the tendency to be afraid to love or depend at all ("Nodependent?") will be investigated. Difficulties with boundaries, Overreacting/Underreacting, Caretaking at the expense of oneself, and Problematic Communication Styles are covered. Groups are 75 minutes, meeting weekly for 20 weeks. Members can also discuss longer-term group therapy options.

I am a Clinical Psychologist in New York, NYU faculty, with a Post-Doctoral degree in couples therapy and training in group therapy. Specializing in couples, individuals, and people's affinities for others, I find that relationships can be wonderful. They can also provide a platform for people to both learn about (and get into trouble with !) themselves and those they love. I work with couples, individual adults & groups to relate to time in the following ways: acknowledge the past, focus on the present, and consider the future. This sounds easier to do than it actually is to practice. So many difficult things in life are like that.

I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, stress, and life's many uncertainties.
Life can feel overwhelming when you're weighed down by anxiety, racing thoughts, or feelings of being stuck. You might be struggling with anxious thoughts, feeling like you're constantly worrying about things outside your control. Perhaps you're feeling isolated, misunderstood, or hesitant to seek help because of the stigma surrounding mental health. You want to feel calm, balanced, and empowered but aren't sure how to get there. What you truly need is a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment and find support in managing both the emotional and practical challenges you face.

Life can be difficult. I understand how inner pain can feel both overwhelming and all- encompassing. The good news is that pain does not have to last forever, and it’s never too late to heal. Small changes lead to bigger ones, and getting started is the hardest part. Together, we’ll explore how past experiences may be preventing you from achieving the life you want and deserve. By harnessing your inner strength, I will offer tangible tools to alleviate existing pain and replace old behaviors with new ones.

Group psychotherapy to address problems of living with a social component is a powerful tool for the individual who repeats unproductive or dysfunctional patterns of relating and thereby sabotages his or her capacity to trust and rely on others in his or her world.

I work with all problems of living and help patients to function better in their lives and relationships.

Seeking therapy can be a daunting task and often people are ambivalent about entering a therapeutic relationship. Through years of psychotherapy practice with adolescents, adults and couples, I have found that real change is possible when one feels safe, validated and accepted. My work is grounded in the belief that with the right support and practical tools one can gain confidence in tackling obstacles such as anxiety, depression, loss and difficult life events or transitions. My style is integrative, interpersonal and solution focused. I believe it is most important to meet the individual where they are.

I specialize in treating highly anxious, perfectionistic adults using mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy.
When you do your best, do you still beat yourself up for not being perfect? If something goes wrong, do you immediately assume it’s your fault? Perhaps despite being accomplished and driven, you worry your real self will never measure up and you're always on the lookout for rejection? Maybe you just can't shake that need to "fix" everything and take care of everyone, leaving no time to care for yourself. Do you feel sleep is something other people do while you worry about everything? Are you just plain tired of never feeling good enough?

Do you feel like you're trudging through life, weighed down by a constant sense of sadness & worry? Perhaps the joy you once knew has faded, replaced by a persistent feeling of being stuck. You're not alone. Millions of adults struggle with Depression, Anxiety, OCD, and an overwhelming sense of being trapped in a cycle of negativity. I understand the profound impact these conditions can have on your daily life. The relentless drain of energy, the crippling anxieties, & the sense of hopelessness can make even the simplest tasks feel insurmountable. You may yearn for the vibrant life you once had, but the path forward seems unclear.
