Therapists in New York

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am licensed in NY, CT, and MA. Psychotherapy is about educating and raising awareness so that we can non-judgmentally identify our patterns and manage life’s confusion. I appreciate a collaborative approach to help identify your needs and goals. I utilize an integration of evidence-based treatment, process therapy, and a mindfulness framework. I also take time to understand and integrate what makes each person unique, such as our mood, temperament, family system, environment, culture, and biology.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience helping people to work through painful and habitual obstacles to achieving their life goals.These obstacles may take the form of symptoms like depression and anxiety or may be related to loss or trauma. I use a direct and interactive approach to help clients clarify the source of their emotional pain, as well as to apply strategies to minimize their negative behavior patterns. I also encourage self-reflection so that such problems are less likely to recur in the future.

"If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should not grow old." James A. Garfield One of life's greatest and often labor-filled adventures is the journey into understanding one's own psychology. Many choose to not take this voyage and suffer in silence. Others, like you, take a chance... I specialize in working with adults who are suffering from depression, anxiety, addiction (withdrawal), weight issues, traumatic experiences, chronic pain, couples who are facing a disconnect in their relationship and those with family matters, and psychological coaching for athletes.

I have worked as a clinical psychotherapist for over fifteen years now. I have worked as a clinical psychotherapist providing individual therapy to seniors, adults, adolescents and children. I specialize in treating clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and phobias. I believe in working together with my clients in helping them to believe in themselves and believe in their abilities to reach their goals. I have worked on different treatment approaches depending on my clients needs. One of my treatment approaches is in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy.

I work with people who are struggling in various aspects of life, and help identify and alleviate barriers to affect positive change or acceptance, Whether you have difficulty managing anxiety; are experiencing depressed mood; feel stuck in negative patters of communication; or want to improve your relationships with others or with yourself, I create a nurturing environment to support and challenge you to express your feelings, explore personal problems and goals, make meaning out of negative experiences or patterns, and generate positive behaviors and coping styles.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through some of the most challenging and transformative moments of their lives.I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where both the therapist and the client work together to achieve the client's goals.

My practice consists of helping my clients become more effective actors in their lives. In the service of these goals, I teach them how to become better critical thinkers, (working together on creating healthy beliefs about themselves, others, and their environments), providing the mental tools required for emotional regulation and a fulfilling life. Additionally, we work together on understanding the past and present sources of troublesome behaviors and reducing them; this approach is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And, I specialize in a form of CBT called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), used to treat OCD.

Collaborating with you in a safe, relaxed and compassionate space and understanding what you need is key to the therapeutic relationship. Every individual is unique and their issues are not the same. Focusing on the person and not the problem, I offer a strength based perspective where I strive to create a space where clients can openly share, disagree, explore, learn strategies and challenge themselves to live their best life each day. I have deep respect for the courage it takes to make the initial contact and engage in therapy and I will advocate for you and support you through.

Do you suffer from panic attacks? Have you started to avoid the places that you had a panic attack in the past because you don't want it to happen again? Or maybe you have missed trips because you're scared to fly? Have you been to the doctor, wore a heart rate monitor, but still check your pulse to get reassurance? Or given up coffee because you don't want to risk the possible anxiety? Maybe you try so hard to not let the panic take over, but the more you try the worse it gets? Could you imagine not feeling like you have to be on guard to stop a panic attack 24/7? And you could just go to dinner without plotting an escape plan?

Is stress, anxiety or depression keeping you up at night? Do you find yourself asking how did I get here? I am passionate about helping motivated adults to become unstuck, to enhance self-esteem and intimacy by figuring out their own direction, purpose and fulfillment in life. Sometimes the anxiety or depression we face is a symptom of a disconnection from our deeper selves, but the good news is your symptoms are not a life sentence, and my goal in therapy is to empower you to find your own authentic voice and to free yourself from patterns that no longer serve you well.

I'm a therapist because I love working with people and embrace humanity in all its glorious, messy, wondrous complexity. I'm here to work with your needs as a client, to help you understand yourself better and to empower you on your journey of growth and healing. I practice using an integrative approach, which means: I see you as a person shaped by your past, present and thoughts about the future; by your innate personality, environment and upbringing; by your social relationships, likes, dislikes and relationship with yourself.

If you feel lost or have found yourself on a new journey, therapy can help you navigate your life's roadmap. Throughout the therapy process, you can expect to gain insight into yourself and the issues you face, develop healthier coping strategies, and access your innate ability to heal. There is no time like the present to invest in yourself and establish a better foothold on the person you want to be. By reaching out to begin therapy, you are one step closer to a life that is more balanced, fulfilling, and meaningful.
