Feminist Therapists in Floral Park, NY
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, but I often draw from other modalities like accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and feminist therapy.
As a therapist, I enjoy watching my clients grow in compassion for themselves as they move towards more fulfilling lives. I find myself deeply privileged to witness my client’s journeys and am inspired by their resilience. I work with clients on issues of emerging adulthood, identity, race, acculturation, issues around one's sense of self, complex trauma, and emotion regulation.

It takes true courage to share a story that contains a history of struggle or abuse. Have you found yourself overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed and want to better understand the triggers? Have you tried to ignore relationship or professional struggles in hopes they would eventually disappear? Have you reflected on past pain, and worry you are overreacting, won’t be believed, or are at fault? Perhaps you’ve achieved those goals related to wealth, fame and success, only to find your “perfect” life does not bring the satisfaction you anticipated. The old strategies no longer serve you, and now you need to try something new.

I also have an interest in feminist therapy and women’s issues.
Sometimes it can be hard to accept help. In a world where we are taught to meet every challenge with a brave face and a stiff upper lip, “help” can seem like a dirty word. But it is only when we acknowledge our need for help that we can truly begin to progress and flourish. It is this understanding that guides my practice as a therapist. It is this appreciation of the benefits of help that led me to this field. Open and honest communication is the hallmark of any relationship, and the therapeutic one is no exception. I believe a collaborative, respectful relationship with clients will always yield the best results.

I practice psychotherapy utilizing client-centered, trauma-informed and intersectional; LGBTQ+, kink/Poly+, and gender affirming; Black Queer feminist interventions.
You are just as important to your communities as your communities are to you. This framework grounds the work I do. Western concepts of healing have historically enforced rigid individualism as the ideal way of life. However, I believe that understanding who you are, as both an individual and community member, makes space for your more nuanced, wholesome, and expansive narrative. My work with clients focuses on being present with emotions, navigating individual and collective traumas, reconnecting to your physical body, and empowering healing and joy. I'm hoping for healing and liberation for us all!

Feminist Therapists
How does feminist therapy work?
Feminist therapy sessions are not only personal but often cultural or political in nature, as the approach is based on the belief that people are affected by, and often struggle with, cultural and societal norms and biases, and need to move beyond those external pressures or stressors to tap their own confidence and engage more fully in their own identity. Sessions may therefore include discussions of sexism, diversity, and gender issues and talk of steps toward greater empowerment for patients who believe they have been silenced and seek to raise their voices.
What are examples of feminist therapy techniques?
Along with traditional talk therapy and analysis, a feminist therapist may employ techniques such as role-playing and assertiveness training to help clients build their self-esteem so that they feel they can act freely, and not based on cultural expectations or gender roles dictated by others. A feminist therapist may also engage in bibliotherapy, offering suggested readings on gender identity or social power inequities as they work toward viewing mental-health concerns through a broad cultural lens before focusing on how they affect the individual. Somatic therapy techniques, with an emphasis on body awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices are also often part of feminist therapist practice.
How long does feminist therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for feminist therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. It may take some time to become comfortable discussing personal issues, but once a client feels they can do so, they could expect therapy to last for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
Does feminist therapy work?
As a relatively recent therapeutic technique, there is not yet a body of evidence proving the efficacy of feminist therapy. However, the approach is based on proven core principles of talk therapy, with a particular emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship based on equality and authentic connection between therapist and client and discovering and building on clients’ personal strengths to help them gain a greater sense of personal power and agency.
