Therapy is a tool for gaining clarity, making changes, and learning how to move forward when feeling stuck. Oftentimes, people are burdened by narratives they didn’t write or storylines that no longer serve them. Curiosity is our best tool in untangling those old storylines and changing the harmful beliefs we hold about ourselves. I work by helping you better understand how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, along with systemic forces, impact your day-to-day life. When we understand ourselves more deeply, we can discover how to make different choices.

If you or your child are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship issues, school problems, life transitions, adoption or attachment related issues, impacts of trauma, or depression, I'm listening. There is hope and a way forward. I offer a safe, supportive space to deepen self-awareness, build empowerment, and identify and alleviate sources of distress or pain to create positive, lasting change. I welcome and work with clients from all backgrounds and enjoy working with students, adults, creative types, and people of color. I also specialize in working with adoptees and their families as I am personally connected to adoption.

Life is filled with uncertainty. The journey towards self-discovery and lasting change can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm here to guide you through the process of unlocking your potential and creating the life you envision.Drawing from your past experiences – your childhood, family dynamics, and the influence of your journey through school and beyond – we will work together to piece together the puzzle of your life. By understanding the origins of your thoughts and behaviors, we can gain valuable perspective.

Many of my clients come to see me out of frustration with their personal relationships or work roles. Such frustration can manifest in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and negative coping. I provide a supportive, yet challenging environment that fosters emotional well-being, new insights, and change. With a positive approach that focuses on individual and contextual strengths, my goal is to help clients develop the self-awareness, self-confidence, and skills necessary to overcome perceived obstacles and improve their relationships and work satisfaction.

My name is Delilah, originally from New York City. I have almost 10 years of experience working in mental and behavioral health, personal development, recovery, and wellness, providing strengths based, client centered, outcome oriented service to individuals, families, and groups.

Do you feel like the music has stopped and all the chairs are taken? If you are like most people, you are seeking therapy because you wrestle with the fallout of unexpected changes. You are hounded by anxiety, depression or critical inner voices. You want to break free and make meaning in your life. I believe that our struggles are actually openings for change.

"I need help." As human beings, we all will say this phrase at some point in our lives. Acknowledging a need for help can be uncomfortable, painful or scary. Perhaps you've discovered that something is keeping you from being your best self. Or maybe your relationships, career, or family life is leaving you feeling depleted. Fortunately these struggles do not have to define who you are; change is possible and it can be a beautiful thing. Recognizing and building upon the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity and challenges has become a refined skill and passion of mine.

Hello and welcome. There is tremendous potential in human potential of self-growth and positive reformation. I understand that seeking help for mental health concerns can be difficult, but it is a brave and important step towards improving your well-being and psychotherapy is an amazing tool that caters to that. Through therapy and small insightful 'aha' moments, one gains self-awareness that helps make gradual and meaningful changes, to live holistically. My work entails a journey of self discover and self love, aiming towards building a healthier inner core. In the process there is so much to learn from one another.

Do you feel like you are too much, and also not enough? You may have learned to compensate for your challenges by adopting various strategies like masking and people pleasing. You may think other people have similar struggles, but are just better at handling them. When you live that way for a long time it is difficult to know yourself, your needs, your strengths, and even your problems. My affirming approach supports clients learning to see and accept themselves for who they are unconditionally. I trust your internal wisdom and believe you deserve to live fully without exhaustion, shame, guilt, and resentment.

People often come to therapy feeling a need to fix or change some troubling aspect of themselves. What can be surprising, however, is that the therapeutic process may begin as a journey of self-acceptance rather than fixing or changing. Most of us have not been fortunate enough to have people in our lives who can listen without judgement or agenda. That is my job as your therapist. By truly listening, I will learn what the world looks like through your eyes and this understanding of your inner world will help me guide you through the challenging journey of self-acceptance as the gateway to personal transformation.

Putting yourself first does not come easily to everyone. However, it is actually the number one action you can take for a happy and successful life. I know how challenging it can be to prioritize yourself, since you were taught from an early age that others’ needs were more important than yours. When you attempt to put yourself first, you are considered “selfish." When you attempt to speak up you are considered “difficult.” If you are often made to feel wrong for having needs, and you are unable to set boundaries with others, then how can you expect to trust yourself enough to feel good, and respect yourself?

Life presents us with personal and professional challenges. Negotiating relationships, striving towards goals, managing unexpected obstacles and emotions, or simply undergoing transitions in life are integral to our existence. As a clinical psychologist, I offer a variety of evidence-based treatment options, which fosters insight into my clients' current circumstances, promoting meaningful change, increased self-worth and understanding. Therapeutic frameworks include cognitive behavioral, reality, interpersonal, and mindfulness.

Life gives us challenges. These challenges can include anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, or just feeling stuck in life. However, we do not have to face these challenges alone. Through collaboration, we together can create an individualized and comprehensive plan to help you create an identity of your own, integrate positive practices into your daily interactions, and grow to live a happy and healthy life. email address:hcohn144@aol.com 917 414 7949 Mailing address United States P.O.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

As an active therapist, I help individuals, couples, families, and children identify and transform the story that has been governing their life. It is my belief, that with the right support everyone has the innate capability to show up and transform their life. Past or present circumstances may have created pain or a belief of powerlessness, but these circumstances do not define you. You can reclaim your power and sense of authorship over your own life. In the words of Marianne Wiliamson, " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

We believe the most important aspect of an effective and satisfying therapy experience is the quality of the relationship between the therapist and the

Sometimes years well into our career or relationships, we find ourselves stuck, yearning for a change and wanting more. We may grow to think that there is a perfect way of doing things. We might think we’ve attained the life we’ve always wanted but find ourselves dissatisfied. You may find that you compare yourself to others and feel that others have a sense of happiness that you don’t. You may feel like a failure and wonder what you did wrong, did you make bad choices, why you’re isolated, or not deserving of good things. I help high achievers to develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors to achieve long-lasting satisfaction.

I work with people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ communities and allies. My work is rooted in gender-affirming therapy for those seeking exploration and support around their gender identities. I also work with those who are living with addiction and recovery.

My clients hide their struggles with Depression, Anxiety, Low Self Esteem, and Substance Use. My clients want to live and love authentically.
