Therapists in Clinton, New York, NY

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming because it is crucial to find the right fit. Knowing this, I aim to create a strong therapeutic relationship with an emphasis on trust and acceptance. My style is interactive, practical, and infused with sensitivity and a sense of humor.

Have you come to the point in your life where you desire to see a change? You've come to the right place. Begin your journey toward change, where you will have the opportunity to be heard, supported and encouraged to discover your own personal strength to achieve a sense of normalcy in your life. Come to an environment where you can feel free to express feelings of fear, insecurity, loneliness, anger, pain, sadness, etc. The time for change has come.....

Beginning therapy is a big deal. Talking about oneself to someone you’ve never met before can be daunting. Will you be judged? Given advice you didn’t ask for? Not given feedback you really need? You’ve probably been grappling with the issues that prompted you to make the appointment for some time, and may feel badly that you couldn’t figure it out yourself. In that first session I’ll be listening to understand what’s the matter but also how you’re experiencing the problem. We may need to work together to shift self-criticism and judgment to curiosity and compassion so that you can mobilize your inner strengths.

Earning graduate degrees from Columbia and Yale Universities, I am a clinical psychologist who is trained in psychoanalytic,dialectical behavioral (DBT) and humanistic treatment modalities. As Director of the Kimberly Center, my staff and I work with adults and adolescents with a variety of difficulties, including problems related to anxiety; mood, such as depression and poor self-esteem; interpersonal conflicts; career transitions; issues of professional identity; feelings of ineffectiveness and failures of performance in work and school; marital conflicts; and, difficulties with intimacy in romantic relationships.

I work with adult clients experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and adjustment difficulties to new life stressors. I have extensive experience working with foreign-born clients, addressing cross-cultural issues, as well as the emotional impact of uprooting, relocating, and redefining oneself in a new environment. I am trilingual, practicing in English, French, and Turkish. I have completed psychoanalytic training at the Karen Horney Psychoanalytic Institute. I have been in practice for twenty years. In practicing psychotherapy I blend introspective exploration of one self with cognitive, supportive and problem solving approaches.

I'm a highly experienced peak performance coach who takes a proactive approach in mitigating stress. I have developed a successful platform in working with many high-performing clients to help optimize their daily lives, while reducing external stressors, and thereby decreasing the chances of burnout. My goal is to simply reduce the impact of stress and negative emotions that interfere with one’s primary purpose.

Are you struggling with interpersonal relationships and in your professional life? Do you find yourself repeating past patterns and behaviors that contribute to feelings of low self esteem?

I view each person as a unique individual with his/her own innate strengths and a potential for self-actualization and therapy is tailored accordingly.

I have been in practice 25 years. These days, the modalities that are my center are AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples), both are attachment & bonding based, and rely on feeling experientially & expressing primary emotion. I use EMDR (Flash technique too) and hypnosis as adjunctive therapies when needed, for example when treating trauma. I offer Life Coaching with a focus on personal fulfillment and relationships. I work for healing, and believe our wildest dreams can come true--even some we haven't dare dream yet.

Everyone can benefit from having someone to talk to in a safe and comfortable environment. Difficulties with life are universal, whether one struggles with work, career direction, addiction, relationships, communication, sexuality, discovering and pursuing one's interests and passions, creating and following through with goals, weight and body issues, self esteem, anxiety or depression. Our friends and family may have good intentions (though not always); usually, they are biased or may want to shift the conversation to talk about themselves. Therapy is a special opportunity to focus on oneself and have the support, attention and incisiveness of a trained individual.

Most of the people that I work with are successful, intelligent people who are seeking to resolve problems in their everyday life. I have helped people with: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, workplace and career issues, finding a meaningful life direction, life transitions, and grief and loss. If you are unsure about therapy, a consultation can help clarify your needs and whether I as a therapist am a good fit for you.

Life experiences can bring pain and conflict resulting in depression, anxiety and coping with substances. I frequently hear the expression of loneliness, emptiness and feeling unfulfilled in people's lives and the sadness, disappointment and anger over relationships with themselves, partners, family and friends that fail to satisfy those needs. Experience has taught me that feeling heard and understood generates a sense of hope and stimulates movement toward insight through exploration and examination of one's inner life. Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers the framework and space for this work, leading to corrective emotional experiences and a more satisfying life and relationships.

Things are not going the way you want. Maybe you're having the same struggles you've had before. You're stressed, anxious, unhappy. You have many responsibilities, you're frustrated, under so much pressure. But, at the end of the day, you don't have the relationship or life you want. It seems easier for other people. You may be feeling alone or lonely. It eats away at your confidence. In private you might question your self-worth, think you're not good enough. Maybe others think you have it all together, or they rely on you. It is especially confusing if you are successful in other areas. You are used to fixing things on your own.
