Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Dobbs Ferry, NY

When children, teens, or young adults show mood or behavioral changes or are going through a difficult period of transition, I can help. In the supportive setting of therapy, we can find constructive ways to understand feelings, manage problem behaviors, and communicate effectively with others. We can work in a more open, exploratory way or a more structured, goal-oriented way depending on your individual needs. I also collaborate with parents and outside professionals for more wholistic care.

If life has been overwhelming, you're feeling disconnected from others, struggling with past trauma or addiction, or just need an outside resource to help you; I am here to listen and provide insight and support. In today's world, many things feel uncertain and increasingly difficult, I am here to help you mitigate through your struggles.

The foundation of what makes working with me helpful, based on feedback from clients, is the personable nature of our conversations and our connection. I do not place myself on a higher footing than clients. Clients feel more at ease when they realize what they are working on is often the same as many others or things I have faced as a human. Clients know that I am accessible and committed to helping them strive towards the therapy or life goals they express are close to their values.

Hello and welcome to my profile. By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating. I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect. Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

You are tired of feeling stuck and not in control of your own emotions. You are tired of living in your head and worrying about everything that could go wrong. The frustration you feel with yourself is mounting and you want to stop repeating patterns that are holding you back in life. Feeling a sense of trust and safety has always been a challenge for you and it has taken a toll on your relationships. I'm here to help. I offer you a safe place where you can make sense of your past and look toward the future. A future where you feel empowered with an understanding of who you are and how to move forward.

Tired of focusing on the past? Not achieving your goals and moving in a positive direction? Open doors in your life with cutting edge therapy techniques that I can teach you! I offer forward moving, practical therapy that offers skills that you can use to get unstuck. Move past relationship conflict, past losses and traumas. My therapy practice is informed by a wide variety of approaches and techniques aimed at helping people get inspired to realize their goals. My therapeutic approach contains a belief that therapy can be easy! I am a trained SOMATIC EXPERIENCING and EMDR Practitioner. I am also trained in INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS, and a variety of Cognitive Behavioral approaches.

How do you get from feeling anxious, depressed, or simply overwhelmed, to feeling good and performing well at your job, with your academics, or in your relationships? By taking two evidence-based treatments (cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy) and adding a warm, supportive, and experienced therapist, the result can be major, positive change. As a therapist who has been working in these modes for over ten years, I have seen these changes first hand, witnessing the personal growth that brings with it a fulfilling life and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you as you build the life you want.

Finding the right fit for a therapist is so important. You want someone you can trust, open up to about things you would never tell family or friends, and someone who can offer you some useful strategies and feedback. I am an interactive therapist. This means, I will not just sit there and have you talk for 50 minutes without any interactive feedback. Being an interactive therapist, we are having a conversation so there is give and take. I will ask you questions and perspective about what is going on for you that maybe you didn’t think about before. Collaboration is huge! I am not the expert on you. You are.
