Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Chelsea, New York, NY

My work is about guiding you in a journey so you can (re)discover what it is you most care about and want to stand for in life. We'll explore helpful and unhelpful patterns in your life made up by emotions, thoughts, behaviors, urges, histories, the contexts in which they occur, and how they are related to others in your life. Based on what you deeply care about and the existing challenges, we develop a plan of action highlighting processes and skills that help you live the life you want and free yourself from suffering. for more, go to NECOANY.org or https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D4ipnpeRa5XBivyTJt1eBMSdPzVA46ql/view?usp=sharing

While I specialize in OCD and alleviating repetitive thoughts, I also support clients in overcoming shame, toxic relationships, eating disorders, depression, among other challenges. I take a lot of inspiration from Jungian psychology- where we may feel the need to put on a mask and perform in society so we can be accepted. Together, we will create a personalized space - where you can feel liberated to explore who you really are and meet your goals without having any masks on.

Starting therapy can take a lot of strength and courage. I am here to partner and collaborate with you on that journey. I work to build a therapeutic relationship that is supportive, compassionate, and trusting. My approach is active, non-judgmental and goal-oriented. I specialize in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the purely obsessional subtype (Pure-O) and anxiety disorders (e.g., generalized, social, panic, health and phobias). I have expertise in addressing concerns related to perfectionism, body-image, mood challenges, and postpartum/perinatal issues.

My clients typically enter therapy hoping to learn more about themselves, gain tangible coping skills, build meaningful relationships, and process & heal from trauma. They often experience one or more of the following: disordered eating, depression, anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, neurodivergence, PTSD, ADHD, exploring gender or sexuality (or both!), codependency, or PMDD. Recognizing the systemic roots of many presenting problems, I validate the past experiences of clients who have felt like therapy wasn’t for them and recognize the roles of privilege and politics in mental health. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children through adults. I have extensive clinical experience and am an expert Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I’ve been trained by top therapy institutes, am a board member for well accomplished CBT organizations, and run the official podcast for the national CBT organization. I strive to regularly advance my knowledge and provide leading scientific treatments. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, trauma, stress, insomnia, ADHD, defiance, and work/school issues. Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

Feelings of emotional pain, depression or anxiety, alert us that important needs are not being met. When needs are not met we feel vulnerable and require protection. As a psychoanalyst I work with the whole person to find less taxing forms of protection so that fears, social withdrawal or repetitive attempts at safety become less necessary. I encourage relaxed communication at a very comfortable pace to nurture a greater sense of safety so your drive for freedom naturally leads you to the life you want. I work to resolve depression, creative blocks, OCD, trauma, romantic difficulties, and problems at work.

Grace also works with caregivers of children with behavioral issues, OCD, and anxiety using evidence-based parenting interventions.

Experiencing aversive, unwanted thoughts and worries can be a scary and lonely experience. Attempts at trying to get rid of these thoughts can lead to further suffering and negatively impact relationships, jobs, and enjoyment of daily life. If you struggle with these types of thoughts or behaviors, you may long for compassionate support, helpful strategies for managing your thoughts, and a clear plan for how to implement more effective behaviors. I am committed to collaborating with you to achieve your goals and empowering you with skills for responding to painful thoughts and feelings.

Put simply, I'd like to help you and/or your family member(s), feel less worried, less sad, and, in general, less distressed. With over 40 years of experience, I feel that I've been able to provide that to many hundreds of people with whom I've worked.

My practice is diverse and I am particularly familiar with the legal profession (I worked in this industry for over 30 years), the LGBTQ community, the performing arts community and people in the recovery process. I also enjoy working with people who are going through transitions and want support for making changes in their lives.

I am passionate and committed to working with my clients to change thinking patterns and behaviors leading to happier, more satisfying lives. I will work with you to set goals and focus on achieving them! I believe that feeling comfortable in therapy is crucial and that your connection to your therapist is most valuable. Because of this, I have multiple clinicians at the practice to make sure that everyone finds the right fit for them. I am a certified in CBT and use this approach to teach clients to be their own therapists!

In therapy I provide an environment that will allow you to express yourself freely and openly. I am genuine and supportive, but can be direct and challenge you to adapt your thinking when necessary. I strive for my clients to feel more focused, emotionally regulated, and confident. I work with adults who are suffering from anxiety including OCD and panic, as well as depression, grief, and relationship issues.

Anxiety tends to become a problem when it starts impacting your ability to live the life you want for yourself. The feeling of anxiety can be very crippling and leave one feeling physically, mentally and emotionally fatigued. In our work together, my focus is to help you effectively work through your anxiety, fears, uncertainty and negative thought patterns. I value creating a safe space for my clients and approach relationships with empathy, compassion and acceptance,
