Psychoanalytic Therapists in Gramercy Park, New York, NY

You are not crazy. In a world that often stigmatizes therapy as something only 'crazy' people do, it's crucial to recognize that seeking help is a brave and empowering choice. Quality therapy has the power to transform your life in ways you may never have imagined. It's an investment in yourself—a step towards reclaiming control over your feelings, relationships, and future. If you're tired of feeling like external forces dictate your emotions, walking on eggshells in your relationships, being overly critical of yourself, or feeling trapped by your past, therapy can offer a path towards healing and growth.

For many young adults it can be hard to envision a future version of themselves because they don’t quite know who they are right now. If this feels like you, you have come to the right place. Transitioning from childhood to adulthood is overwhelming and sometimes scary. In fact, most adults in your life are still figuring things out. Life is all about learning who we are and continuing to grow into the person we envision ourselves being. My innate curiosity about life led me to want to know as much as I can about how the human mind functions and how experiences change us.

And why you're so frustrated, angry, sad, anxious, confused and just plain scared too much of the time. Email me, or call, and we can look for the answers together.

I am a licensed psychologist who provides psychotherapy to adults and couples. I aim to create a warm, supportive, and contemplative space for self-exploration, to help bring into awareness and transform patterns that are getting in the way of living a full and satisfying life. By exploring the underlying causes of suffering, and becoming curious about one's own mind, greater freedom becomes possible. I see this process as a dialogue in which I take an active and engaged role, asking questions and offering ideas.

Are you suffering? Do you feel like you are out of touch with your best self? Do you question your own role in life, in your relationships, work? Are you struggling with excess anxiety, feeling "down," or using alcohol, drugs or other types of addictions in order just to cope? Are you struggling as a parent, student, teacher, or in terms of your career path? If you respond "yes" to any of these than I am here to offer you hope and help. I work effectively with a wide range of people of all ages, backgrounds and types of problems.

I work with individuals across their lifespan who struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma, and racial and cultural identity. I help clients through the challenges of life, including relationships, love, or experiencing grief and loss. I want my clients to know that they are not alone, and what they are feeling is normal. There is no need to put off seeking help – we all need it from time to time.

Making the decision to start therapy can feel overwhelming, but taking this first step is the most difficult part of it all.

Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you. Perhaps you aren’t quite sure how to talk about what’s happening; but something doesn’t feel right—things just feel off. During times like this, talking to a professional can help. I work with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students. I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees.

Only Tele-Services at present. Psychoanalysis focuses on uncovering and working through the unconscious sources of our problems. I am a psychoanalyst with 30 years of experience, originally trained abroad in psychology and later licensed as mental health counselor in New York. My style of practice is characterized by analytical listening and emotional support. I seek to facilitate your insight and processing, respecting your timing, culture and values. My practice is a welcoming place with a comfortable waiting room, and my office is a warm place. It is located half a block from the 6 train, 23rd Street Station.

I am an experienced psychotherapist in private practice, with an abiding belief in the healing power of sharing our stories. As Maya Angelou wrote: "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." Most people rarely have the experience of being heard. The psychotherapy setting should be welcoming and safe so stories can the told and heard. I work with individuals and couples whose many concerns include life-cycle transitions, relationship issues, aging, parenting, coping with illness and loss, anxiety and depression.

People need to be heard. Someone comes to a psychotherapist because they are suffering. A relationship has fallen apart, worry is felt without knowing why and someone feels stuck. I offer a safe empathic space where we can work to identify patterns that are automatic. You can become aware of behaviors that are not working for you. In thinking afresh about your actions, you can see reality as it is, in the present, considering different choices so better outcomes can become possible.

My goal is to help you feel present and at ease with yourself. When you find the right therapist for you, there is a sense of safety, curiosity, and lightness about exploring even difficult topics. Couples who work with me communicate better and and identify destructive patterns that keep them from the relationship they want. I'm a licensed psychologist (Ph.D. from Princeton University) with post-doctoral training in relational psychoanalysis and psychotherapy and I've been in private practice for 20 years, helping people to make more conscious choices about their lives.

Michele is an Italian name pronounced "Meek-ay-lay". I received training both in Europe and in New York. I specialize in depression and anxiety. Sometimes we are depressed/anxious because of natural events (e.g. a family loss, career challenges, etc...), and other times we feel depressed/anxious without knowing why, as if our mind was hiding the distress source. Whether we are able or unable to make out the reasons of our depression/anxiety, therapy can be a journey of self-discovery to alleviate these problems.

Do you feel out of place in the world or even in your own body? Do you struggle to find satisfaction in your romantic or sexual life? Are you trying to cope with the stress of a relationship’s evolution or end? By working on deepening your understanding of and relationship to yourself, and exploring the impact of societal structures on the self, you can enrich your relationships with others.
