Female Therapists in Loehmanns Plaza, NY

I believe the therapeutic process is about relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth. I have an audacious and thought provoking approach to treatment. My approach allows me to directly connect with clients in a manner that is comfortable and authentic. Through treatment I provide my clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients.

Dedicated to assisting individuals, couples and families achieve emotional well-being, in the shortest time and with the greatest ease, I use the most highly effective methods of treatment. Years of experience with yoga and eastern psychology has shown me the wisdom of the inseparability of spirit-body-mind. Sensitivity to each individual's spiritual orientation (including the absence of one) allows me to assist clients in aligning with the highest possibilities for healing.

I believe it takes courage to engage in the therapeutic process. I work to create a welcoming, safe, and tranquil environment for every client. I understand that your story is unique & I listen to understand. When working with couples, my job is to understand both so I can then build a bridge in your communication together and help you resolve your conflicts, build emotional, physical, & sexual intimacy. Whether you are looking for couples therapy or individual, my goal is to assist you in creating goals, examining the current unhealthy pattern, & creating a healthier pattern that fits the life you want to live.

If you are dealing with difficult and traumatic events or losses, I am here to help. If you are feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope, I can walk with you and help guide you to a better place emotionally and spiritually. With a creative mix of therapy techniques, wisdom and life experience, I build on your strengths, identify and address root causes, and help you create and work towards a plan to achieve the changes you seek.

It's all about relationship - relationship with our families and friends, with our spouses, with our bodies, with food, with entertainment, with work, play, faith...even with ourselves! All the tools we need to navigate these relationships are the skills we learn in counseling: healthy communication, positive self-esteem, appropriate boundaries, learning how to handle tough situations, not allowing our emotions to control us, and so much more! Connect with us today so we can help you get all your relationships beyond where they are at!

Do you feel like you’re not good enough? Do you wonder why you feel this way? Does this effect your relationships and quality of life? It can be overwhelming, and it’s common for people to struggle with these kinds of thoughts and feelings. The trouble is, it can get in the way of achieving meaningful goals in our lives. Many people choose to avoid these thoughts and feelings which can lead to unfulfilling relationships, unrewarding careers and other mental health problems such as anxiety or depression. It’s exhausting trying to live up to an unattainable standard, right?

With almost 30 years of experience, I help clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal struggles, life transitions, and personal growth and development while supporting them on their journey to live a more balanced life. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and I work closely with clients to help them connect with their values, and gain personal insight, understanding, and self-compassion.

If you struggle with anxiety, depression grief, and other difficulties, I can help you. Some people want help with identifying and working on goals, some people want to learn coping skills, some people just need to vent to someone, and some people need someone else to just compassionately listen. I love to help with all of those. I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach to meet people where they are at and help them get to where they want to be. I strive to be open-minded and attentive, and helping people is what I am meant to do.

Welcome! My mission is to provide a safe haven for individuals seeking solace, support, and a renewed sense of purpose. I understand that life's challenges can sometimes feel insurmountable, but I believe in the power of compassion, resilience, and renewal. Together we will uncover repressed emotions and hold space for the younger self. As a therapist trained at a doctoral level with a specialty in trauma, my education and diverse clinical experience shaped my understanding of the human psyche and the effects of trauma.

We may have all asked ourselves at one time or another...."How did I (or we) get here?"... During these times, talking to someone who understands helps. I believe that it takes courage and strength to seek change. It is through this change that we begin to feel better not only about ourselves, but about our life circumstances. I always feel honored that clients trust me enough to share their stories. Much of my work has been dedicated to helping those who are struggling with depression or experiencing anxiety. I will do my best to help you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Finding the right therapist is the first step to your 'New Beginning'. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I provide a caring, professional environment informed by 20 years of experience with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I look forward to meeting with you.

I am honored to assist individuals in their personal journeys of change who are struggling to recover their ability to effectively respond to life’s challenges. I have over 25 years of experience helping individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, the aftermath of trauma, and relationship difficulties. I work within a framework of respect, warmth, and attention to the dignity and worth of every person. I am passionate about helping you learn tools that will empower you to become the person you truly want to be. I encourage you to continually evaluate the quality of our work together to ensure that I am meeting your needs.

Living the life we envision is a journey that can be difficult when experiencing stressors, transitions, uncertainty, and instability. In a safe and collaborative environment, I will walk with you in exploring the areas of your life to discover healing in yourself, your relationships, and circumstances. Together we will work towards your goals and uncover the happiness, reflection, and coping to achieve them. I work with youth, adults, couples, and families experiencing challenges in their lives, including struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

You’ve been thinking about therapy for a while now. You feel overwhelmed by the daily grind. Unable to balance the demands of work and family. Doing nothing is no longer an option. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in a negative headspace. Over-thinking things. Distracted at work. Feeling less present at home. Headed down the old path towards self-destructive behaviors. You're not alone. You aren’t damaged, weak, or “broken.” You’re none of those things. You’re simply human.  And, these days, being human can be incredibly hard.

Therapy works when the relationship between the client and counselor is authentic and collaborative. I strive to foster a genuine dialogue with my clients where you can feel safe and heard. Through processing and challenging, I will help facilitate growth within yourself and your life. In my practice I use an integrative approach that tailors therapy to match what is best for the individual sitting across from me.

If you’re here, it might be because you feel off, not like yourself, maybe a little lost. Someone might be encouraging you to seek support, or maybe, no one knows how truly bad you feel. A major life change may be impacting you more than you thought, feelings of depression and loneliness are becoming unmanageable. Stress may be overwhelming and impacting many areas of your life. The journey into parenthood may have brought about feelings of doubt, memories of past trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and longing.

“I’m so tired but I can’t sleep. I lie awake at night feeling paralyzed and unable to breathe…my body feels hot, my stomach hurts and my heart races. I replay every embarrassing or shameful moment of my day…of my life… on repeat in my mind; I feel like a failure. I’m convinced that everyone is judging me. ‘What if…’ thoughts consume me. I never feel good enough!” Sound familiar? If you are tired of avoiding things, people pleasing, numbing, striving for perfection, worrying about everything…you are in the right place. I can help.
