Cigna and Evernorth Therapists in 10027

The process of beginning therapy and finding a therapist can feel overwhelming and frightening. I understand and believe those who are starting this process are truly courageous and resourceful. In my experience, I have found having a safe, contained, and trusting environment to share all of one's thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be restorative and healing. Each experience is different and some clients desire short term treatment while others wish for a more long term therapeutic relationship to achieve their goals; I look forward to exploring options and co-creating a safe and productive space with those seeking therapy.

Depression, anxiety, eating disorders,career difficulties, and relationship conflicts can feel overwhelming. An individual may feel stuck in unhealthy coping mechanisms. As a psychodynamic therapist, I know that individuals suffering from these difficutlies may exhibit similar symptoms, yet the underlying causality is unique to each individual. Revealing one's problem to a stranger can be difficult, I work with my clients to develop a safe environment where there is a mutual sense of authenticity, empathy, and trust. In collaboration with the client, we develop a treatment plan based on his/her individual needs and goals.

Chemistry and wavelength is the essential meeting place in the therapeutic connection. I have an intuitive, empathic ability and work with a wide range of issues. My work in trauma/ child- formative development is my guide to help you locate essential concerns. I have success focusing people on their true desires while addressing practical lifestyle issues. I have a specialty in dual career goals; what a person wants to pursue and how it can be supported in practical terms. This is especially relevant to artists. I work at a deep level of understanding and am creative in getting life to work for and with you.

Each of us has a unique personal history defining who we are, and how we function in the world in positive and problematic ways. By understanding formative influences we can free ourselves from patterns of thinking and behavior holding us back. I work with individuals and couples to help identify past experiences, and feelings, emotions, and patterns of behavior in present life and relationships that stand in the way of a deepening sense of identity. I bring an eclectic background to my work with patients, informed by a long history of engagement in the arts, and a thirty year career in the mental health field.

I am professionally trained in treating anxiety & depressive disorders (mood disorders) & personality disorders. Over the years, I have helped individuals learn how to cope and manage emotional dysregulation, self-injurious behaviors and other high risk behaviors. As a DBT and Psychodynamically trained therapist, I work with individuals needing skills in regulating emotion, impulse control & ceasing self-harm as well as those seeking to gain life insights. My clinical background can help you build a life worth living, leading you to a better place.

It's so difficult but so empowering to ask for help. Together we will identify issues and create solutions. I work with individuals battling depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I can help you understand and recognize behaviors that jeopardize your happiness and growth.

The focus of treatment is to develop a relationship where you feel safe and valued. I work from the lens of curiosity about behaviors and thoughts rather than judgment. I work with my clients to engage in compassion for themselves rather than punishment as we examine their lives. I believe that a healthy sense of humor is a helpful tool in dealing with difficult issues and I very much use my authentic self within the treatment framework.

Paradoxically, we look for a therapist when the time is the most difficult. We may be coping with anxiety, distress or uncertainty about a crisis in life. Under these circumstances we are looking for someone who we can confide in, with whom we can feel safe, and who understands us. As a therapist for over 35 years, I have experience with these feelings. We each have unique ways of wresting with life's experiences. I try to establish a nonjudgmental, empathic partnership so that we can explore meaningful ways to improve your life.

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 15 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings, from Outpatient mental health clinics to private practice, non-for-profit organizations and Hospitals both in Spain and in the U.S.A. I am specialized in mood disorders, adaptation issues, cultural and identity issues. I work mostly with adults, couples as well as teenagers and their families. I help my clients to face, solve, or adapt to the situations that are causing them to struggle being respectful of their origins and background.

Life is full of choices and sometimes it feels too big or just too small.

Maybe it's been two months or two years, but it has not been easy. Whether it's your personal life, work life, familial, platonic, or romantic relationships. You may have begun to feel overwhelmed,annoyed, stressed, lonely and even depressed. You compare yourself to others and wonder why your life is not a reflection of the work you've put into it or how you imagined it would be.

As your therapist, I tailor my approach depending on your needs. It is my commitment to offer you a safe space without judgement and provide an empathetic ear. Each person is unique which means that the approach should be unique to you. My goal is to help you understand behavior patterns which will lead to a better understanding of one's self.

Congratulations on taking this step towards your new freedom. It's time to start healing. You're not alone if you find yourself searching for answers to these questions: How do I find a lasting sense of purpose in my life? When will I finally be content with my accomplishments? Why do I eventually get dissatisfied with most all of my relationships? Will I ever find lasting joy and passion? How do I find the courage to be my own person? Why does it seem like I sabotage my own success? Together, we'll work to set realistic goals, identify barriers, remove obstacles and unlock your full potential.

Like many people as of late, you might be reevaluating life. If you came across this page, you're probably looking for an experienced, trained professional to help you process your thoughts and feelings. Now more than ever, people are seeking therapy. Time is valuable. Therapy is an investment of your time and resources in you. Your unique life experiences, cultures, sexuality, and gender identities are just a few of the components that intersect to make you, well, you. Together, we can explore how these intersecting identities and your cognitive-behavioral patterns come together to create your experience and your life.

As a counselor based in humanistic and relational cultural theory, I believe you are the person who knows yourself best. Throughout life, circumstances leading to disruptions in well-being can produce self-doubt, a negative view of self, and low self-worth. Even through these times, each person still has autonomy and the ability to make effective decisions that fit in accordance with their lives. One of my goals is to expand self-awareness so you can live in a more purposeful way that aligns with your values.

I'm dedicated to empowering women and the BIPOC community (Black, Indigenous and People of Color). We are often struggling with life's pressures and the intersectionality of racism, classism & sexism and for black women and women of color the combination of all three. BIPOC people are overwhelmed. We are often juggling several roles, managing workplace stress, absorbing societal pressures, meeting family obligations and often neglecting our own needs. It can be difficult navigating complex emotions and overwhelm without support. I’m here to support you through your journey of healing, wellness and empowerment.

My client can struggle with stressors such as substance use to high-"functioning" depression; individuals that are 'going through the motions' to maintain their day-to-day life, inside they’re screaming. In recognizing the the void in care and understanding of marginalized persons' my approach in counseling is to provide emotional insight and reframing maladaptive thinking patterns through strength building.

I had my first rewarding experience as a client in therapy in high school. It was because of her that I went on to make my career in mental health. I think we spend much too much time obsessing over physical health when mental health is just as important and is often directly connected to your physical health. I look forward to working with you to identify the areas of your life that you’d like to see change as well as building the tools necessary to maintain that change. You deserve to feel safe and content in your life at all times. I hope you’ll give me the chance to help you get there because it is possible!

In the process of therapeutic healing, it is my goal to collaborate and collectively assist you with gaining a better sense of self, safety, trust and intimacy based on self-empowerment. I work to honor the unique values, practices and the cultural context of everyone who seeks my services. As a competent and knowledgeable clinician, it is my authentic approach to the healing process that will allow you to grow beyond the mundane, and live a more fulfilling and productive life. I have more than a decade of experience in providing therapy and a lifetime of knowledge and experience in personal growth and development.
