Therapists in 10005

Deciding to come to therapy can be a difficult decision; one that takes courage and often comes with some anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail. I consider empathy, sympathy, and honesty are the key elements to a nurturing and successful therapeutic relationship. I’ve spent the last 4 years training and working with clients at institutions such as New York Presbyterian, New York University and Cornell Medical College. *** Hablo Espanol*****

Welcome! I know it can be hard to reach out for therapy when you don't know what to expect. Here's what I can tell you: I am not the silent and judgemental therapist portrayed on TV shows - just a fellow human being, genuinely interested, and ready to take on the journey of self-exploration with you. I am a firm believer that everyone makes sense if you take the time to understand the context of their experiences. Together we will make those connections, through a collaborative process of compassionate curiosity. No matter how lost, disconnected, depressed, or anxious you may feel - you make sense.

Are you struggling to find fulfillment in some areas of your life? Are you worrying about the future? That you'll never be able to own a home? Reach financial stability? Have close relationships with family and friends? A romantic partner? Perhaps your work is leaving you with a feeling of purposelessness. You're a bright person with many goals, but you're unsure how to tackle them. Therapy can be a place to process the emotions surrounding these, process past trauma, reframe how you see yourself and reevaluate how you can take charge of your role in the things that happen around you. Things don't have to be the way they are now.

I work with adults transitioning emotionally, professionally, and in interpersonally. My clients desire emotional growth; they understand that change happens from within. The clients I work with strive for deeper connections and the creation of meaningful lives.

I'm a dedicated psychotherapist with an extensive and diverse background, spanning private practice, schools, college clinics, foster care, and hospitals, including acute care. With a passion for treating individuals of all ages, I specialize in harnessing the power of evidence-based therapies to create long-lasting positive change, focusing on the core of issues, rather than surface change. I take pride in fostering a safe, warm, and compassionate environment that embraces the unique perspectives of clients from diverse backgrounds. Even the most resistant patients find themselves engaged in the therapeutic process under my care.

"Our work-together can open doors". With my empathy, wisdom and knowledge, I can aspire and inspire change in you who are eagerly seeking and waiting. As a Psychotherapist, I am, first of all, an ally who provide support and a safe space to be. Then we go on a journey together: from an unawareness of the self, from superficial goals and aims towards an understanding of your individuality and to a state of centeredness-unified, integrated self.

Everyone has times in their lives where they feel lost, overwhelmed, or confused. Feeling truly heard and understood can be invaluable in overcoming these obstacles. As a therapist, my job is to guide you through the process of becoming your best self. I do this with kindness and humor, acknowledging that one of the most helpful part of therapy is the relationship that you and I develop.

If you are ready to embark on a rewarding journey to the true essence of you, and create the life you desire and deserve, I invite you to my practice. It is time to release all that does not serve you and replenish with all that optimizes your experience here and now. "Happiness is your Birthright.' My years of experience and training can guide you there. Please feel free to find me on http://www.therapyandbeyondcenter.com/appointments where you can book directly and write to me at mburra@therapyandbeyondcenter.com should you have any additional questions.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy for adults and couples who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep difficulty, relationship issues, job stress, health issues or other life stressors. I work collaboratively with my clients to help identify the changes they would like to see in their lives and set short-term therapy goals to help achieve them. I specialize primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and include Mindfulness and breathing relaxation strategies in my practice. I tailor therapy to meet my client's individual needs.

I am a licensed Psychologist practicing in New York City and Westchester. I earned my PhD as well as three Masters degrees (Master of Art, Master of Science, and Master of Philosophy) at Columbia University in the City of New York. I completed my clinical internship at Jacobi Medical Center. In addition to seeing patients in my private practice, I worked as a Clinical Researcher at New York State Psychiatric Institute, where I investigated the functional organization and structure of the human brain for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

I provide talk therapy in person and remote for adolescents, adults, couples, and families and help navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, career transitions, grief, family conflicts, and relationship difficulties. My professional background includes teaching, coaching, and counseling children & teens with ADHD, Autism, and ODD in school settings. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with adults dealing with trauma, recovery, family dysfunction, and spirituality. No matter what brings you here, I am committed to supporting you with a nonjudgmental and supportive approach to meet your goals.

I offer both in-person & telehealth therapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples & families and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, stress, interpersonal problems, self-esteem issues & life transitions. My professional experience spans various settings working with children, adolescents, young adults & families, including non-profit organizations, foster care agencies, college career counseling centers & college psychology research centers. I am committed to helping clients bring their authentic selves to the forefront, with a passion for serving the BIPOC population & marginalized communities.

I am passionate about helping individuals overcome negative beliefs they may have about themselves, others, or the world, specifically after a trauma or an adverse life experience. My clinical training in CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), allows me to have a unique perspective to help individuals identify what is keeping them stuck and find ways to create a new narrative to their lives. In addition to trauma, I work with individuals with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, low self-esteem, addictions, ADHD, and relationship concerns.

Sometimes being a human just sucks. You may struggle with scary, sad, or painful experiences you’ve been through, or patterns in your relationships that won't stop repeating themselves. I offer my clients a warm and supportive space where we can courageously approach past traumas and life experiences together, and work toward more effective navigation of your relationships with yourself and others.

Every human has the answers that they seek deep within themselves. My job is simply to give you a safe space to help you navigate and uncover the solutions to problems or answers to questions that you subconsciously already have the answers to. After all, nobody knows you better than you! Together we will process the areas that you need support in as well identify strengths and appropriate coping skills to build up your ability to deal with life on life’s terms instead of resorting to old, negative coping skills that no longer serve a purpose in your life.

I believe in practical and actionable psychotherapy. Therapy that is tailored to your goals and provides helpful guidance. My clients include individuals and couples from diverse professional backgrounds.

I am a New York based LP-Mental Health Counselor with Avena Psychological Services. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychological Sciences and Communication from the University of Connecticut, and my Master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Columbia University. I utilize an integrative approach to counseling based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and informed by Multicultural and Feminist Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and DBT. In utilizing these modalities, I provide a safe and nurturing space for clients to heal.

LaSeanda specializes in supporting individuals through life transitions/adjustments, depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use/abuse and grief/loss. LaSeanda utilizes person centered approach and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help individuals reduce stress and reach their highest potential.

I have 25 years experience working productively with people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and sexual orientations. Our job together is to identify dysfunctional patterns that contribute to—even perpetuate—your difficulties. The main focus of therapy is to remove inner and outer obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals and having better relationships. Please note, after years of counseling and assessment in offices, I‘ve recently moved into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too.
