Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 10129

I see each person and situation as unique, and modify the therapeutic relationship to meet the individual needs of my clients. I work collaboratively, offering feedback and reciprocal exchanges in each session. I also focus on helping people use their individual and unique strengths to live more meaningful, balanced lives, and to maintain more satisfying relationships.

Are you or your child feeling stressed, overwhelmed or anxious? I'm here to help. For over 18 years, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life stressors and/or transitions, behavioral difficulties, grief, trauma and childhood abuse.

As a therapist, I aim to create a safe emotional space where you will feel increasingly comfortable expressing your feelings and thoughts. I imagine therapy as a journey, a process of transformation from a place of suffering to a place of healing and see my role as that of a fellow traveler and a guide who listens to your experience and helps you create your own story. Being able to find words to match your experience and have someone witness that moment is a deeply freeing process, that leads to symptom relief, greater self-awareness and a more meaningful life.

My guiding principle as a therapist is deep listening without judgment (acknowledgement plus acceptance) so that people can feel the freedom to express themselves, explore their experiences and create authentic connection. I believe that listening is an essential tool in healing and feeling valued. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, with an anti-oppression lens. I am committed to the lifelong unlearning of colonial structures that are deeply rooted in mental health, and to holding space for others to unpack how societal and institutional structures have impacted their mental health and wellness.

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.

Hi! I'm Neli Betancourt-Rodriguez. I'm a Christian bilingual (Spanish/English) licensed mental health counselor in New York City. Whatever brought you here, I'm so glad you're here. Your story deserves to be heard, uncovered, and transformed into purpose. Your life matters. My hope is to walk alongside you in the aftermath of what can feel like the weight of the world. Sometimes, that aftermath looks like learning to trust again after abuse, or to feel joy after years of depression and sadness, or to unlearn patterns that no longer serve you. It may be hard to believe freedom is accessible. But here, I know it's possible. . .

I have seen different ways people feel about "therapy," but when we are going through something tough, we could all use someone to talk to. Therapy is your private, trusted space for taking an honest, deeper look at what is going on in your life and within yourself. In this safe space, we work collaboratively to explore your relationship styles, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be helpful, or getting in the way. We all have a built-in compass within us that encourages and guides us towards "who we are meant to be." The insights generated in therapy can help us make moves towards a healthier, happier life.

I specialize in working with artistic people, helping them to achieve their growth potential, and to silence the self-critical thoughts and reactions to negative feedback they might receive from the outside world.I am an experienced therapist, having practiced for 25+ years.

I am an experienced clinician, who strongly believes that therapy is a partnership. I see my role as helping an individual arrive at mutually agreed upon goals, which will lead to a better quality of life.

My goal is to create a supportive yet challenging environment, while focusing on getting to the main issues quickly and safely.

I work with people who are curious about their own lives and are interested in knowing themselves better, often in the hope of increasing self-esteem and gaining more control over the choices they make. The work of therapy can be invaluable in findng new ways of living and relating especially when anxiety and fear cut off possibilities and keep a person feeling stuck. While I don't believe in cookie cutter approaches to therapy, I find than many clients benefit from challenging negative self-talk, learning to listen to their bodies, and investigating unwanted patterns that persist in their lives. I've trauma training including EMDR.
