"Storms Can't Hurt the Sky" - A Book Title by Gabriel Cohen

I bet you've probably spent a good deal of time sifting through the sea of clinicians listed on this website, and let me tell you, it is a beast. Finding a good therapist is like dating. Who looks smart? Who seems warm and compassionate? Who's attractive? Nobody is perfect, but you don't want to settle either. Perhaps they have great insight and are very pedigreed, but don't seem particularly warm or approachable. Or vice versa. What to do? Shop around until you find a proper match. You are unique. Not every therapist may suit you.

Are your kids driving you crazy? Putting a strain on your marriage? Are you the parent of a young adult who can't seem to leave the nest? Do you worry that your kids don't have the wherewithal to make it on their own? Are you a young adult struggling to find your way? Times of transition can be frustrating and painful for families. It's important to know that it can happen to anyone and it is not your fault. There is a pathway out!

Dr. Baten incorporates CBT and holistic health in her practice. She helps individuals, children, families and couples develop new strategies to change old patterns. She stimulates emotional growth by teaching people to replace their self-defeating thoughts, feelings and actions with new and more effective ones. Patients are taught to identify the dysfunctional beliefs that lead to negative consequences in their mood and behavior as well as to replace poor food and lifestyle choices. She encourages individuals to be responsible for their own emotions, empowering them to change and overcome unhealthy behaviors that interfere with their ability to enjoy life.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can work to explore troubling thoughts and emotions, and begin to identify self-limiting beliefs. As you gain new insights and a greater understanding of yourself, you can start to understand the motivations behind your patterns of thinking and behavior. Self discovery and self awareness can be empowering and liberating, paving the way to making more meaningful, fulfiilling choices in your life.

Increasing your self-awareness through therapy in order to make conscious change in your life offers exciting and challenging opportunities to discover your whole self. By attending to what you feel, think and sense in the moment of the therapy session, you will begin to notice how the experiences we create together live outside of the session in your everyday life. The awareness you build in our sessions provides a stable ground from which you can make choices in life that will free you from the patterns of behavior that have limited you for so long.

Deciding to seek help is an important first step. It can be hard to know which psychotherapist to choose. My mission is to provide you with a non-judgmental, empathic, and supportive environment that will help facilitate a growth-promoting relationship.

Anxiety, worry and self-doubt are perhaps the most common and widespread challenges faced by children today. From every area of their lives, children face daunting pressures and demands. For those already anxious or vulnerable, these pressures maybe be overwhelming. Already primed for frustration or failure, such children may find navigating key developmental transitions - from childhood to grade school, for example, or from pre-adolescence to the teen years - difficult if not impossible. Parents may have tried other interventions or therapies; but often with little or no success. What's a concerned parent to do?

I work with people to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to achieve a sense of happiness and connectedness in their lives. I am trained in a wide variety of therapeutic approaches and tailor my interventions to each individual patient's needs, personality and strengths. I am equipped to help people with various issues, including those haunted by psychological trauma - childhood abuse and neglect, sexual assault, domestic violence, and near death events.

Psychotherapy is a practice of deep listening and understanding. I help people develop insight into their troubles and look into habitual patterns that may create obstacles to their life goals. Together, we identify these patterns, explore feelings, and put effective coping skills into practice. When working with children, my approach invites the family in. Parent coaching, which involves a neurobiological understanding, and psychodynamic insight are integral. Through play therapy I help children discover ways to communicate their experience. The purpose is to establish a connection that encourages growth and the sense that children have a positive impact in their world.

I am a Jungian oriented psychotherapist located in Greenwich Village. I work with individuals who are feeling stuck in old stories and ways of being, that are limiting their potential and interfering with relationships, creativity, and sense of self. I treat a broad range of symptoms, with particular training and specialization in trauma, depression, anxiety and eating disorders. My focus is on understanding the personal and relational patterns that may be impacting how you move through the world and limiting your sense of well-being.

Living with anxiety sucks! Overthinking, trouble sleeping, worrying nonstop, feeling like your heart is beating out of your chest. There always seems to be something to worry about. You wish you had control of it, but it feels so unmanageable. It effects evert facet of your life at work, home, school and social life. You've tried everything and nothing has worked, and wonder if it will ever go away. All you want is peace and stability, able to live your life like it used to be before problematic anxiety. Finally in control of it!

Are you feeling stressed or tired? Having difficulties completing tasks that were once easy? Do you find yourself turning to food, shopping, alcohol, etc. to feel better? Are you questioning whether to stay in your current relationship or wish to get your relationship back to what it used to be? Therapy is a collaborative relationship and making the right connection is crucial to your development and growth.Together, we can build a trusting, safe environment, which empowers you to take risks and make positive changes

Therapy should be a safe place where you can open up and speak freely and honestly. If you feel that your daily life is a struggle, I will work with you to help you understand your difficulty. We will work together to discover new ways of coping and understanding to alleviate your distress so that you can begin to live the the most rewarding and fulfilling life possible. My patients have commented they appreciate my warm nature and creativity I bring into sessions.

Welcome! I work primarily with adults who struggle with trauma and its consequent impact and symptoms within the self and interpersonally. I work collaboratively with clients to identify the barriers that keep them stuck and unable to meet their full potential and aliveness. I introduce mindfulness skills, breath work, body awareness, resourcing and bilateral stimulation, including EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing, depending on an individual's unique needs. I reference a variety of theories, ranging from psychoanalytic and psychodynamic to cognitively and behaviorally based. I also apply neuroscience and trauma theory.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your heart and not be afraid of your feelings. Many of us have developed ways of denying, repressing, or avoiding painful feelings, rather than learning to embrace them. In a trusting relationship such as therapy, one can learn to experience feelings more without so much fear, leading to deeper self and other relationships.

The decision to enter therapy represents an important investment in improving the quality of your life. I believe that therapy is a dynamic, creative process that centers on the questions you would like to explore and the changes you wish to make within yourself. In the context of a safe and nonjudgmental space, we will explore patterns in your life and how your past experiences have contributed to your current concerns. Together, we will replace problematic coping strategies with effective ones; discover new perspectives on recurring issues; and come to a deeper understanding of yourself and others.

I began my career working with children ages 7-16 in Behavioral Modification Therapy. After two years, I began working with teenage boys coming out of Foster Care. My work included Behavioral Modification with an added component of both group and individual therapy. I took on the additional responsibility of training staff in Behavioral Modification, Boundaries Adherence and Self Awareness techniques. I have also supervised and coached individuals on how to have difficult conversations, counsel others, parenting skills and substance abuse. Additionally, I have experience assisting troubled families in conflict work through their challenges.

I have experience working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, identity formation, difficulty forming and maintaining meaningful relationships and life transitions. I also have experience working with individuals challenged by trauma (post traumatic stress, sexual abuse, chronic medical illness). I am certified as a couple therapist and work with couples to help improve communication in the relationship as a way to improve the health of the relationship and to ultimately help the couple feel closer to one another.
