Therapists in Clinton, New York, NY

I am a psychotherapist in private practice in Manhattan and have worked as a counselor with the Department of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai specializing in addiction treatment. I have had several years of experience working with a diverse population with varied concerns in both inpatient and outpatient settings and completed my training at Columbia University. I am there to listen and work with you on whatever goals you have including long-term recovery, social anxiety, depression, feelings of loneliness, or if you simply want to become mindful and have more insight into your life.

I am a licensed psychotherapist, accepting new patients in NY and CT, who are interested in telehealth sessions. I specialize in treating men and women who are experiencing daily life stressors, social anxiety, depression, and anxiety. I also work with younger adults, coping with challenges in school, relationships with friends and/or romantic partners, time management, life changes, and future planning. I have a special accreditation in perinatal mental health, PMH-C. Much of my career has included working at a hospital in the NICU; I offer support to families during & after NICU.

I have over thirty years of clinical experience and I strongly believe in the resiliency of the human spirit; the ability for a person to heal and grow given the right kind of nurturing and support. I have witnessed this countless times in many different settings in my professional life. My experience has largely been, though not exclusively, working with men as I have worked in the field of HIV/AIDS for a number of years. I focused on men’s' issues in my graduate work and that, in combination with years of practice, have allowed me a particular insight with regard to working with men and their presenting issues in therapy.

You're grappling with anxiety and depression, seeking help to navigate these overwhelming emotions. You're in search of effective strategies to manage these conditions, and you yearn for a path that leads to a happier and more fulfilling life. I'm here to help and accompany on your journey to better health.

If you are suffering the damaging effects of anxiety and depression, you might be feeling all alone--isolated, marginalized and unseen. Your personal trauma history, problems with sexual identity, HIV status, drug use and/or addiction, or history of failed relationships might be contributing to feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness. How do you move forward, create a purposeful life and realize inner happiness? Let me lead you on your journey of self-healing.

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from a variety of clinical theory, techniques, and empirical research ranging from psychoanalysis to cognitive behavioral therapy, tailoring the treatment to meet the unique needs of the individual. Ultimately, I believe, and research shows, that the effectiveness of therapy across approaches depends on the quality of the relationship. That is, it has to be “a good fit” and occur in the context of a safe, supportive, compassionate and confidential environment.

Every individual’s motivation for seeking therapy is unique. I am sensitive to the specific goals that an individual has for the treatment, and frame recommendations accordingly. For some, therapy may involve a few, brief targeted consultations, while others may choose to engage in a longer term treatment. Regardless of the duration of treatment, I view the therapeutic relationship as providing the scaffolding to achieve one’s full potential, and resolve symptoms which often arise out of unresolved conflicts and anxieties.

For over 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with children, adolescents, and adults as a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist for both psychotherapy and testing/evaluation. My work is constantly evolving and informed by ongoing study of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral functioning, traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, and medical illness, complex trauma, clinical psychopharmacology and medications, parenting/surrogacy/reproductive medicine, and psychological/neuropsychological testing.

I work with clients to help identify, process and heal relational issues whether it be familial, romantic, professional, or platonic. I also work with clients suffering from and feeling held back by the scars of trauma, emotional wounds, and maladaptive behavior patterns. I help clients to acknowledge their pain and/or the role they play in their dissatisfaction, slowly process it, accept it, and implement new paths forward so they can take back control of their lives and enjoy closer relationships.

I specialize in working with people who are looking for gender-affirming, sex positive, and culturally conscious care, and I have significant experience and training in working with LGBTQ+ individuals. I use a strength-based, person-centered approach with a focus on empowering my clients, while also incorporating mindfulness and grounding exercises in sessions that you can utilize outside the therapy space. I also like to tie in creative outlets like writing, movement, and music to explore conflicts and other challenges in peoples’ lives.

Hi! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in providing evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques. I specialize in the treatment of adolescents, adults, and families, struggling with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, impulsive behaviors, self-harm, relationship problems, tolerating distress, and trauma reactions. I truly believe that treatment is most successful when working collaboratively with a client to identify and work towards goals.

We are more mysterious to ourselves than we know. Rather than explore this mystery, though, we tend to seek quick fixes -- diagnosis, medication, self-help, worksheets -- in order to meet the grinding demand for maximum productivity. But ignorance of the unconscious not only compromises our creativity and potential, it also results in significant pain. Our relationships suffer, our goals remain unattainable, we develop harmful habits, and we may even experience depression, anger, anxiety, and despair. Quick fixes provide temporary symptom relief, yet our deeper conflicts endure, and sometimes worsen.

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative and experiential. I strive to create a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship through which you can share, express freely, and activate your deepest potential for transformation. I am devoted to the well-being of my clients and provide the best possible therapy to help facilitate insight and growth. Areas of expertise include trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, family dynamic/attachment and relationship. I also offer services for clients working toward specific personal goals in the areas of, student/school, career/improved work-life, purpose and personal potential..

My primary goal as a therapist is to help you become the best and most fulfilled version of yourself. My style is supportive and engaged because I believe that healing takes place when you know that you are heard and understood. I create a safe place in which we can work together to bring about lasting joy and transformation in your life.

As an EMDR therapist, I specialize in working with those whose lives are disrupted by anxiety, panic attacks, depression, or phobias. I work with a fear of flying/aerophobia. With EMDR and EFT-oriented therapy, my goal is to help you feel calmer and become more satisfied with yourself and your life.

Are you looking for a hope filled, purpose driven life? A life that inspires you? I have over 20 years experience providing solution focused counseling and coaching to clients going through a life transition or loss. We will work together to define your strengths, help you find meaning and purpose and construct a more balanced life. By making life changes, you can live your best life ever!

For more than a decade, I've worked with individuals and couples in crisis due to infidelity, abusive relationships and recent loss. I also help premarital couples get off to a good start, and assist established couples seeking to improve their relationships in the areas of communication, conflict resolution, intimacy and parenting. As a trauma-informed MFT, I believe our past experiences impact the way we form our identity and relate to each other in the present. As a Christian therapist, I integrate spirituality with IFS, EMDR and the Gottman Method.

Do you want your life to be more enjoyable? Would you like to be able to find ways of changing your perspective without losing the best parts of you? Do you want to learn how to make decisions that help you feel in control of your life? Do you feel like you don't fit in with others and you want to feel better about yourself? Are you looking for a highly experienced counselor who talks to you as a person and who tailors your therapy to meet your unique needs?

Whether it’s grief and loss, transitions or ruptures in relationships, work stress or navigating your career, the mounting overwhelm of life can have a way of making us feel isolated and untethered. However, just because life can feel that way doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. Together, we can work to alleviate the impact from life stressors, untangle confusing thoughts and feelings, and chart your path forward.
