Teletherapy for Grand Central - New York, NY

**Offering Telehealth sessions** My interactive, warm therapeutic approach helps those struggling with anxiety, work/life balance, career pressures and concerns, relationships and more. Working together, we can explore patterns that may be causing you to feel stuck in your relationships, career, or life and implement coping strategies that will help you. My goal is to provide a safe place for you as you take steps to create lasting change in your life.

My style as a psychotherapist is supportive, empathic, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with relationship issues, overwhelming emotions, and challenging life circumstances and transitions. I aim to help people better understand their areas of struggle and how they can use their strengths to overcome challenges. My goal is to help the people I work with achieve meaningful change. I prioritize tailoring treatment to individual needs. We can either begin therapy with concrete problem solving techniques and skills, or with examining what is going on in your life and identifying areas to focus on.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been working with individual clients, couples, diverse families and parents/caregivers/nanny support for over a decade. I specialize in Eating Disorders, Body Positivity, young adult transitions, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder/Intrusive thoughts, parenting and relationships and self-worth.

Did you move to NY to succeed but you are not where you thought you would be? Do you often question your career choices and can’t seem to find the best “next step”? Do you catch yourself criticizing your life on a daily basis? Whether you are an immigrant or simply relocating from another state, Gotham inevitably captures you. I know that it sounds cliché but the energy of the city is present in every sector. And you will soon realize, if you have not already, that when you work and/or reside in an environment surrounded by thousands of talented people your desire to succeed becomes even greater.

I am a licensed psychologist in New York, Connecticut & New Jersey with over 22 years of clinical experience providing assessment and therapy. Are you reassessing your life or considering a job transition? Are you struggling to communicate with your partner? Are you committed to working on yourself or your relationship with your partner but are unsure how to start? I can help you. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and family members move toward optimal functioning and well-being.

Psychology is a life-long passion for me, and I bring three decades of education and experience to help you transform your most important relationship-- your relationship with YourSelf. You will expand your awareness of negative and limiting attitudes and feelings toward yourself, and better understand where these arose in your life story. As your understanding grows, so does your compassion, and you will become your most effective ally, able to provide an emotionally solid homebase. Once your foundation in yourself is strengthened, the sky is the limit in all areas of your life.

As a clinician, I integrate psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches and EMDR with a Gestalt orientation and aim to make psychotherapy practical, flexible, and thoroughly individualized, matching the treatment to the changing needs of the client. I work with adults and couples and also do life coaching, management training, and executive coaching. In addition, I conduct wellness seminars on various topics (e.g., stress management, meditation, healthy eating, alternative healing). An area of expertise includes working with the expatriate community.

I am an experienced psychotherapist that will work with you to resolve areas of your life where you are feeling stuck or confused. I can help you manage symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma. I have a warm, empathic, interactive, and down to earth style that I believe helps an individual feel comfortable, supported, and understood. I provide a non-judgmental environment where one can express themselves freely.

I have 20 years of experience in the mental health field helping people with problems with relationships, work, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. I am originally from South America and have worked extensively with English- and Spanish-speaking people. Whatever your background or difficulty, finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and who listens empathically is important. My goal is to create a space in which you feel safe to talk openly and for us to work together on figuring out what is getting in your way so that you feel empowered to pursue your goals.

I have extensive experience providing psychotherapy, supervising (Columbia & CUNY) and teaching graduate students . I specialize in treating anxiety (panic, social), depression, low self worth, attachment difficulties, perinatal depression/anxiety, and adjustment to parenting. I provide psychotherapy to those who are dissatisfied with their interpersonal relationships or with their career and who aspire to lead a meaningful life. Psychotherapy leads to greater self-knowledge, to making healthier life choices, to improving relationships and to greater self acceptance and confidence. Ineffective coping are replaced by healthier ones.

I specialize in helping people with chronic anxiety, burnout from perfectionism, and the effects of unaddressed trauma. I often work with high achieving professionals or caregivers that often don't have the space or support to focus on themselves. I create an encouraging, safe space for you to slow down, reflect, and learn so you can gain clarity and grow. I help my patients learn new coping skills, practice mindfulness, start new patterns, deepen self-understanding, (re)connect to their body and emotions, and take steps towards building fulfilling relationships.

I received my Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and my Bachelor of Science in Child and Family Studies from the State University of New York at Oneonta.

At Groth Psychology and Wellness, I provide therapy and neuropsychological evaluations to assess for learning, attention, developmental disorders. In therapy, I work with children, adolescents and adults experiencing difficulties in their life, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, behavior dysregulation, and relationship difficulties, among many others. My overarching goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space that clients may be trusting in. Additionally, I take a client-centered, integrative approach with evidence-based techniques to help the client and their unique needs. Together, we can work to achieve your personal goals.

My approach to counseling is driven by the belief that each person’s life experience contributes to a personal and powerful story. Through conversation and active listening, I guide clients through the process of uncovering pieces of their story to see how they fit together. Informed by my lived experience as a queer person, I recognize the necessity of approaching counseling through an intersectional, antiracist lens. I am cognizant of external factors that influence life experiences and therefore I apply a feminist, multicultural perspective to my therapeutic approach.

When we know better we do better. This aphorism summarizes my approach to psychotherapy, and by extension, that we can all afford to do things a bit better. We all encounter challenges, for some it's feeling overwhelmed in the face of too many obligations and responsibilities. Others are ready to address an obstacle that they have struggled to cope with for years. Still others are experiencing massive upheaval, coping with loss or grief. Regardless of why you come to the door, it can be scary to make yourself emotionally vulnerable and confront current and past issues.

I've seen lives change and hearts heal. I can help you control persistent, painful conflicts that may leave you feeling anxious, angry, lonely, and sad. It is possible to find understanding, direction, and strengths. One of the most challenging circumstances encountered in life involves the loss of a person, an ideal, your self-image, or your future. I utilize insight-oriented therapy as well as cognitive-behavioral treatment, as needed.

Life is complex and emotions are real. Anxiety, depression, and lethargy are forms of self communication and unmet needs. Together we will help you access the path that is best for you. Your best self, via positive change is waiting for you.

Are you feeling motivated for change and healing but unsure where to start? For a lot of women it can be hard and unclear how to start that journey... this is where a skilled and certified EMDR therapist can help you heal and reconnect to your mind and body to move forward. We move methodically to build trust and emotional safety. Together we collaborate to guide you towards your goals. For more info please visit Emdria.org
