Therapists in 10027

I am a NY State licensed clinical psychologist with experience working with children 6 years and older, adolescents and young adults. I use person centered approach and CBT to treat mood and anxiety disorders and other mental health problems. My authenticity and sense of humor, and ability to incorporate play into the sessions help me connect with children and treat them effectively. I believe individuals first need to feel safe, understood and supported within the therapeutic relationship. I also think it's important to tailor treatment interventions to fit the specific needs of individuals I am working with.

Most of our psychological pain and misery, our inhibitions and limitations in achieving a satisfying life, are the result of primitive anxieties that we carry within ourselves since the very time we were, indeed, really helpless. The psychoanalytic encounter allows one to become wiser and assume more responsibility towards oneself and toward others one lives with, cares for or simply meets in everyday life. It is a method that concentrates on the "Here and Now" and tries to free the mind from old -- and, usually, no longer all that helpful -- ways that we use to defend ourselves from pain.

I've been working for 32 years helping people develop confidence and the capabilities for personal and profession growth, and for fulfilling relationships. I'm a "Relational" psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapist and psychoanalyst but draw from CBT and solution based therapies as well. I work with individuals and couples from all walks of life and from a wide range of professions. In a safe setting I focus on self-development, communication, and emphasize finding your voice. There isn't a single therapy style for everyone. Together, with your input, I try to create a therapeutic approach suited to your individual needs.

I am a clinical social worker with post graduate training in classical and relational psychotherapy. I work with people dealing with depression, anxiety, body image issues, self esteem, money, career, and trauma. Together we will explore the factors keeping you stuck in repeated patterns of relating. One goal is to be able to have new experiences and discover places within yourself that may be yet unknown. Some pain is inevitable. We cannot change the past but by becoming more conscious, we become better equipped to make choices that aid in transformation.

I am in a relationship; but I don't know if my partner is the one.- My wife and I are having trouble sexually.-I am bi-racial and at times my identity is stressful- /My partner does not understand me and we keep arguing. - I am afraid to come "out" to my family. - I keep getting poor performance reviews at work.-I am in love with someone who is a different race than me.- You may be able to identify with one or more of these concerns or you may have a concern that differs from the ones above.

I am a very warm and open therapist who believes the most important aspect of therapy is forming a trusting, personal connection. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment and encourage patient collaboration as we identify treatment goals and evaluate our progress. I provide individual, couple's and family therapy in my practice and work with teens, adults and seniors. My specialties include the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, relationship and parenting stressors, and bereavement. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Life is full of choices and sometimes it feels too big or just too small. I am a licensed Master of Social Work that provides clinical care that starts with listening to you with curiosity, collaboration, and a strength-based approach that centers on your priorities and journey. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, NLP, and EMDR to meet your individual needs. I provide therapy to individuals, couples/intimate partners, career transitions, life cycle changes, gender, and sexuality identity, living with disabilities, kink, trans, & poly affirming.

If you're looking for a therapist, it is vital to feel connected. Empathy, support, and a good fit; while necessary for change, is not sufficient. Through working together, we will identify the changes you want to make and you will learn methods and perspectives that can help you cope with life's ups and downs, and use not only while in therapy, but long after it ends.

Life flows when you know and like who you are, and when you walk in the world without shame or fear. Therapy with me focuses on self-awareness, self-acceptance, connecting to others, building the self-confidence to communicate openly and honestly to family, friends and larger communities, and creating and maintaining balance in life. An examined life is the path by which one's precious life can be lived in the way it is meant to be lived, and to feel the full range of emotions is to be a strong, healthy human being.

PAC Psych is a small group private practice conveniently located on the upper west side of Manhattan run by Dr. Hayley Cooper. The mission of Parent and Child Psychological Services is to bring well researched and empirically supported therapies to children, adolescents and their families with a particular focus on anxiety, attachment and young children experiencing behavior difficulties both at home and in school. We believe that a collaborative relationship with parents and sometimes schools is often the best way to achieve successful results.

I only accept AETNA at this time. I provide psychotherapy for adolescents, college students, and adults; and I have over 20 years of experience working in clinical & academic settings. I address the following concerns: anxiety, depression, relationships, PTSD/trauma, education/career, grief/loss, marriage/family, separation/divorce, parenting, adoption/fertility, and disabilities. I presented research at the American Psychological Association in Boston, and I keep abreast of changes in the field. As a professor, I taught a myriad of graduate courses including psychotherapy, psychological testing, and ethics.

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.

James L. Colter's therapy focuses on the immediate need of the client. He understands that clients need to feel trust and safety before they share some of their most pressing feelings and emotions. His goal is to develop a client-therapist relationship that will provide safety, confidentiality, and support. This allows the client to feel validated and understood as he explores their feelings and emotions. Additionally, he takes special care in personal awareness to provide clients with a safe environment that is free from judgement or bias no matter what cultural or status scenarios present themselves.

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. I will provide you with concrete coping strategies

I help stressed-out professionals, parents, and couples get off the crisis-rinse-repeat cycle of therapy with a body-mind, somatic, approach. Whether it's time-consuming jobs, relationship problems, social obligations, mortgages, or coping with a divorce, it is easy to become detached from your wants and needs. Integrating the body-mind connection into therapy helps my clients get back in touch with their feelings. Reach out and let's see if we are a good fit.

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.

My approach to therapy is both warm and collaborative. I listen intuitively, and respect your expertise on your own experience. In therapy sessions, we are partners in identifying and building on your strengths. Together, we clarify your goals and clear away obstacles so you can move forward. I hold a master's degree in teaching from Bank Street College of Education and New York State teachers certification, in addition to my master's in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a certified ADHD clinical services provider.

I love providing a safe, comfortable and nonjudgmental space for my clients to explore whatever issues are relevant to their individual circumstances, with curiosity and compassion. My therapeutic style is approachable, warm and not overly formal. With an integrative framework and a trauma-informed lens, I blend elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic work, EMDR, mindfulness, "inner child" work, strength-based and/or existential/spiritual approaches. The experience for clients is flexible and collaborative, as we customize our approach to working together, in order to best fit their individual needs and preferences.
