Grief Therapists in 10128

If life's complexities have you spiraling, you're not alone—nor should you be. I offer more than a therapist's couch; I offer a mirror to your psyche, a challenge to your neurons. Your existential qualms and everyday anxieties are welcome here. I blend philosophy, neuroscience, and a dash of mystique, wrapping it all in empathy and understanding. Our sessions will make you pause, ponder, and perhaps even laugh as you confront your shadow. Commit to the expedition of your inner world. Trust me, this is a journey you want to undertake—with me as your intellectual confidant.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with people who are coping with trauma, grief, and the impact of these experiences on relationships. I think therapy has the potential to unlock a person's natural tendency toward growth and resilience, so I take a strengths-based perspective in my work. My professional background includes training in a variety of settings such as hospitals and community health centers, where I have worked with both individuals and couples.

Are you an overachiever feeling “not good enough” at work or in your relationships? Do you say yes to others even when you really want to say no? Perhaps on the outside, no one even notices that you’re hurting. Are you experiencing loss and feel challenged by people’s insistence that they “know how you feel” and advice to “stay strong” and “look on the bright side”? Grief is agonizing, surprising, and often lonely. Are you LGB, queer, trans/NB/GNC and looking for a therapist who "gets it"? Do you have a child or teen who recently came out as gay, lesbian, bi, queer or trans? You're not alone, and I’m so glad that you found my page!

Are you struggling with relationship issues, loss of a loved one, or challenges with family members? Are you or your loved ones struggling with addiction? Together, we can explore your current behaviors and beliefs and begin to unpack how your experiences from the past may be impeding your ability to live peacefully and purposefully in the present. I will help you relieve your distress, strengthen your inner resources and sense of self, and develop more authentic ways of communicating in order to enrich the relationships in your life (including the one with yourself).

When it comes to finding the right therapist for you, there’s no one-size-fits-all! It is my goal to see the full you and to be curious about what you uniquely need as the dynamic human that you are. I honor your personal values, past experiences and place in the world. Above all, I prioritize a feeling of relational safety, and I don’t subscribe to the idea that therapy needs to be uncomfortable or overwhelming; I care about your limits and boundaries and I trust your intuition. I also bring myself into the room with humor and compassion, and you’ll be able to feel my warmth and presence in a reliable and kind way.

I put you at ease, get to the heart of the matter and help you put things in perspective. If you are grieving I approach your problems with empathy and professional understanding. Problems in the workplace are invitable when you consider how much time many of us spend there. It's important that you recognize persistent patterns of conflict, it is the key to resolution.

Welcome! My virtual teletherapy space supports adults, teens, and families living in New York. I specialize in working with clients impacted by trauma and other adverse childhood experiences. As a trauma survivor myself, I have taken my own self-healing journey that has led to the development of my whole-person approach to health. I aim to provide my clients with tools that can support self-healing and building a more authentic relationship with the authentic self.

Life often presents us with various emotional, social and relationship challenges that can feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate alone. That’s why, as your therapist, I am committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental space to reflect on your life experiences, build on your strengths and gain meaningful insights, all contributing to a more rewarding life. I believe obtaining the necessary coping skills to use now and in the future can be truly life-changing. By beginning this journey together, I am hopeful that your overall well-being will improve, allowing your authentic self to shine.

Jasmine believes the therapeutic process is a unique, powerful, active, collaborative, and professional relationship that has the potential for individuals to feel a sense of safety, non judgment, validation, empowerment, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. She has a passion for the arts and social justice and utilizes an eclectic and creative approach of CBT, Mindfulness-based, Multicultural, & Feminist therapy that can help foster change, awareness, and growth.

Let’s work together to create the life you want. From starting a new job to having a baby to dealing with a divorce—our lives are constantly in flux. Transitions evoke strong emotions and raise big questions. How do I have to change things to make this work? What will have meaning in my life? Who will be there for me? What happens now?

In therapy I provide an environment that will allow you to express yourself freely and openly. I am genuine and supportive, but can be direct and challenge you to adapt your thinking when necessary. I strive for my clients to feel more focused, emotionally regulated, and confident. I work with adults who are suffering from anxiety including OCD and panic, as well as depression, grief, and relationship issues.

We don't usually seek help when life is working for us. Whatever your issues are, you are seeking help because what you have been doing is no longer working. I provide a warm, engaging, and interactive environment where change is possible. I am passionate about my work and fully invested in your process to transform your life in meaningful and healthy ways.My career has been driven by an enormous curiosity about human behavior, a profound interest in helping people, and a deep well of compassion and empathy.

I am a New York based bilingual Psychotherapist with background in Creative Arts Therapy. My graduate research involved deepening knowledge related to cultural rootlessness and finding meaningful belonging for individuals who experienced frequent relocation during developmental years. My professional experiences are related to working with children, families, pre-adolescents, and young adults both in individual and group setting where I utilize a wide variety of materials and sensory components to provide quality treatment for trauma, relationship problems, depression, anxiety, and grief.

I believe that positive reinforcement and approach in life can help people with individual and interpersonal challenges. I specialize in Marriage and Family therapy, couples counseling, anxiety, depression and anger management. I am a clinical fellow of The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, where I expand my professional expertise (in addition to my clinical work) to optimize therapeutic services provided to my patients.

Before relocating to NYS to pursue clinical psychoanalysis, I was an educator and researcher, focused on human development and cross-cultural challenges. As a clinician speaking both Mandarin and English, I deeply enjoy working with and learning from clients with different languages, cultural backgrounds, religions, sexuality and gender orientations, socioeconomic status and life situations. I help adults and adolescents suffering from depression, anxiety, grief, phobias, trauma, relationship problems, adjustment issues, somatic symptoms that have no physiological explanations, and other difficulties.

Taking the step to start treatment and finding a therapist who you feel comfortable with may seem like a daunting process. Through a collaborative process of identifying your goals and the obstacles that have stood in your way I can help you to feel better about yourself and your ability to make desired changes.

I approach each individual with empathy, curiosity, and acceptance, inviting my clients to explore their emotions and struggles in a safe space. I have supported clients to identify and set boundaries, honor their needs, improve communication, and unlock their innate capabilities. I'm here to offer empathy, support, and guidance as we explore your problems and work together to find solutions. I take my cues from my clients, but maintain a focus on stated goals, and can help give structure to our sessions.

I am passionate about helping my clients understand how they, despite their best efforts, consistently act in ways that don't further their goals. I help people get unstuck from unproductive patterns of behavior. Whether you're struggling in your personal or professional life, or want a more fulfilling integration of the two, I can help you to better understand what stands between you and the realization of your aspirations. The therapeutic process is an adventure, one we'll navigate together. I promise to bring my genuine curiosity, integrity, sensitivity and optimism to our work.
