Teletherapy for Garment District - New York, NY

Embarking on the journey of self-discovery and personal growth includes exploring aspects of your life that are deeply interconnected. As a therapist specializing in working with young adults, I am committed to helping you navigate the complexities of anxiety, eating disorders, ADHD, and the intricate realm of sexual well-being. I am a dedicated therapist with a passion for guiding young adults through the challenges of this transformative phase. In addition to my expertise in anxiety, eating disorders, and ADHD, I bring a specialized focus on sexual health and relationships.

Sometimes we can't stop the world from crashing down on us. Life can be difficult. We could use a little help. Let me help you. Are you stuck in an ineffective communication loop with your partner? Are you fighting against intergenerational trauma, making you feel overwhelmed with parenting? Do you have a hard time setting boundaries with family and friends because you don't want to "be mean"? Whether it's a life transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, or just needing that outside support, I am here to be what you need. Let's do this.

Are you an artist in spirit? Do you identify as a creative, if not within practice within your dreams? If this resonates you are most likely someone who emotes beyond words and or speaks in metaphors. My therapeutic approach is creatively oriented within both verbal and the expressive arts. My practice assists in you accepting your true self, within live analytic, psychodynamic growth. I am relational, attentive, engaging and goal oriented. I want you to experience desired changes and growth overtime that we work towards collaboratively for ideally a year or more. I specialize within the LGBTQ community although treat all folk.

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.

As you take a step towards achieving personal growth and change through counseling, I want to commend you, and offer a safe, dynamic, and enriching space to flourish in. Fear, isolation, uncertainty, stress, grief, hardship, anger, sadness, and confusion can be troubling emotions to deal with especially during difficult times. Through a melding of client-based and solution-based approaches, my intention is to be a beacon of emotional support and understanding as well as an intuitive and active voice helping you navigate your life

If you seek a therapist who just nods his or her head, and asks: "how do you feel about that?" then I am not the right choice for you. I am a "relational" psychoanalyst who listens closely to my patient's stories, and engages in active dialogue with them. Together we form a collaborative alliance to confront and overcome your fears and anxieties. I am firmly committed to a collaborative, participatory, and holistic patient/therapist relationship. As partners, we form a trusting bond to explore the problems that interfere with your ability to live a happy and healthy life.

I take a humanistic, integrative, and evidence based approach in my practice. My clients are the only ones who can bring about change in their own lives and I am merely a guide in their journeys. I have experience working in drug rehabilitation centers, EAP services, high school settings, with the Hispanic community, with those with persistent psychotic disorders and most recently in private practice with clients facing a number of challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues among others.

Your presence here shows true bravery as you contemplate the journey toward a better life. It's tough admitting when things feel off, when the pain becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. Despite giving your best effort, it can often feel like you're stuck in a loop, with the changes you seek slipping away. Starting therapy with me means confronting life's challenges with a supportive and dedicated ally. I'm committed to maintaining unwavering faith in you every step of the way, as we work together to overcome the barriers preventing progress towards the life you want.

Healthy & Better Counseling Services utilizes a Christ-centered approach with a variety of people whether they are individuals, couples and/or families. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist my counseling sessions are geared to help you analyze your life’s perspectives in order to gain freedom from mental and cyclical captivity which leads to relief and restoration. It is my vision to support and encourage individuals as well as families with emotional, physical and mental health. This healthy way of living goes beyond good, because when we both do our part to bring healing to your soul you will be better.

As a native New Yorker, I deeply understand how the fast-paced world can leave us often feeling empty, depleted, irritable, and disconnected. I also understand the incredible courage and vulnerability it takes to seek therapy. Whether you’re looking to gain insight, strengthen your relationships, or identify ways to achieve your life goals and improve life satisfaction – I am here to help! My approach to therapy is strength-based, trauma informed, and rooted in cultural humility. I also employ a variety of mindfulness and insight-oriented interventions to provide a nonjudgmental brave space for openness and exploration.

I believe it is an honor to be trusted with a person's deepest emotions and fears. And it is through this trusted therapeutic relationship, the miracle of healing takes place. I will challenge you in a supportive environment to take steps and go to places that you have been afraid of exploring. And together we will look at these issues that have been holding you back from achieving your fullest potential.

There are some hardships in life that cannot be easily forgotten. These experiences influence how we view ourselves and navigate relationships with others. There is a natural tendency to re-enact the woes because of it's familiarity. The therapeutic alliance will help us learn from the past, become more aware from the present, and establish a safe outlook for the future.

My theoretical approach varies deriving from several psychoanalytic schools of thought as well as cognitive-behavioral theory. Cognitive work assists clients in finding adaptive ways of perceiving themselves, others, and circumstances. Behavioral interventions involve the teaching of skills needed for effective coping, communication, self-care, and symptom relief. I aim to create a safe professional environment to render individualized care to my clients and their specific needs.

Therapy is a desired journey for self-discovery at any point in our lives, and an opportunity to access our inner resources for self-empowerment. In my practice, I integrate Western psychotherapy interventions with Eastern methods of healing. For 27 years, my cross-cultural work and clinical experience have fostered a global perspective on mental health with deep empathy and nonjudgement. I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, EMDR therapy, integrative somatic therapy, military mental health, Hakomi , & Gottman. My focus is grief, anxiety, transitions, & transformation. I also offer concierge life coaching.

As a firm believer in a mind-body-spirit approach to psychological health, I incorporate a long history of multi-disciplinary spiritual practice and investigation with my graduate training in relationship / family therapy into a holistic perspective that utilizes transitions and crises as opportunities to deepen insight and life skills that better navigate and manage them. In terms of couples work, I help with communications, developing conflict resolution strategies, healing from infidelities, addiction/codependency, and other sexual issues by examining your familial/relational histories and teaching a variety of guideposts to help you be your best selves, together and individually.

Times are hard. You don’t need to go through this alone. As a therapist in a diverse and supportive online practice, I’m glad to serve people of all backgrounds during difficult times. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive atmosphere that will allow you to express yourself & uncover the thoughts & behaviors that may be interfering with your daily activities & experiences.

I am a bilingual therapist with over nine years of experience providing care. I value diversity and believe in the power of collaboration to effect change. After our sessions, I hope you feel more connected to yourself and the world around you. I focus on your needs while working together to achieve your goals and improve your day-to-day living.

I am a licensed psychologist who has been practicing in New York City since 2011. I provide tailored interventions that improve overall functioning and help you gain insight into your life, your relationships, and how you view yourself and the world. I integrate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and interpersonal therapy to create a flexible approach that will help you reach your goals. I believe the therapeutic relationship is an integral component of change and I have extensive experience in treating a wide variety of symptoms including depression, anxiety, executive functioning.

I work with clients weekly and focus on fears and patterns that hold them back. I'm a licensed psychologist with a certification in life coaching, so sometimes we will co-create homework assignments to help my clients take 'baby steps' towards their goals in between sessions, in order to integrate our work into your daily life. I accept insurance for individual therapy, not couples therapy. My specialty is seeing couples and individuals re relationship issues. I'm offering a dating group via Zoom & a relationship skills group for those who want to improve their relationship.
