Female Therapists in Inwood, NY

I believe therapy should be long term and built on the strong relationship between therapist and client. My approach is solution focused with forward orientation. I try to encourage clients to share at their pace & they will be met exactly where they are at. Anything shared is viewed as a gift & a privilege to hear. I practice eclectic psychotherapy using a wide range of tools, training, and skills with my life experience to support clients in being able to achieve the desired change, acceptance, or processing they may be seeking. I want you to feel safe enough to finally tell someone: what happened to you. You are no longer alone.

Welcome, I am so excited you are considering working with me. I believe a good fit between client and therapist is crucial for success. I work with a variety of individuals from adolescence through adults. We may be a good fit if you; have experienced trauma, are a young adult struggling with the quarter life crisis, are experiencing an unhealthy relationship(s) or struggling to set boundaries, are a parent seeking support and education, are an adult with ADHD, are an over thinker/perfectionist, have anxiety, are going through a divorce/separation or break up, or just want to learn to manage emotional discomfort with more ease.

Hello, thank you for being here! I provide counseling services for children, preteens, and teens struggling with anxiety, depression, school related issues, relationships issues, stress management and adjusting to new situations. I also have experience working with diagnoses such as ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Life can feel extremely overwhelming for children but I am here to guide your child through any obstacle they may face.

I am a New York State Licensed psychologist with over 35 years experience working with a wide range of age groups, a variety of populations, and numerous types of issues. During the course of everyday living, people are often confronted with circumstances which are difficult to manage alone. The resulting stress can cause one to become anxious or upset. Together we can work toward your becoming more aware of the feelings and dynamics at play and learn more effective means of coping, adjusting, and dealing with these difficult situations and associated feelings.

Life is amazing and can also be incredibly challenging; we ALL struggle at times. Fortunately, therapy can help. I work hard to establish a trusted relationship, and my approach is action-oriented and collaborative. I bring genuine compassion, acceptance, encouragement, insight, gentle humor and creativity into the therapy space.

My patients are individuals who struggle with anxiety or OCD. Intrusive thoughts and the weight of anxious emotions may attempt to steer your course, disrupting your happiness and making it appear as though life has slipped from your grasp. My goal is to deliver short term therapy to help individuals reduce their distressing symptoms and enhance their quality of life.

My ideal client is somebody who is looking to go on a journey with me to reach their full potential! I am extremely available to my patients’ and attempt to be available for them every step of the way. I strive to have a positive relationship with both the child and their parent.

I utilize a strengths-based approach to help my clients recognize the skills and abilities they already possess, starting with showing up to therapy and wanting to make changes in their life. I also use a holistic approach to understand and address the ways issues in one aspect of my client’s life can lead to concerns in other areas. I apply evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Based Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy, depending on the individuals needs.

Life is overwhelming. There's so much that we are navigating and have pressure to get everything right. The last thing we want to struggle with is the very thing that helps us endure the challenges of life: relationships, sex, & our bodies. Do you find yourself trying to keep everything up and watching your relationships falling by the wayside? Sex & Relationships are important. We have so many ideas about it stemming from media, friends, family, religion and our own sexual history, which can be very confusing and isolating. Sex therapy helps make sense of what you know about sex, sexuality, & relationships

Are you looking to improve your quality of life? I am here to help. I am passionate about helping others enhance their quality of life. Finding the right therapist can be challenging. Determining the support you are hoping for is essential. I am Dede Kott, a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in treating trauma and related stressors with older teens and adults in managing life with/after trauma and loss, navigating anxiety and depression. In addition to trauma-based work, I am passionate about working with women throughout their various stages of their perinatal journey.

There are hundreds of reasons why I became a counselor, but the main reason is the want to help guide clients into a better quality of life! The basis of my clinician approach is the strong belief in creating a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Maintaining a safe place for clients (like you!) to be supported with genuine care and empathy is integral for me as your counselor. Together we will work towards making positive life changes, finding and utilizing your strengths, meet your therapeutic goals, and relieve your distress.
