Teletherapy for Grand Central - New York, NY

I specialize in treating anxiety, panic, stress, OCD, relationship challenges, and transitions. Are your thoughts and behaviors self-defeating at times, blocking you from what you really want in life? We all see the world through different lenses, which are formed and strengthened by our genes, the messages we received growing up, and our accumulated experiences. Sometimes this lens can become distorted, causing us to perceive and interact with the world in unhelpful ways. Certain thinking and behavioral patterns may get in the way of relationships with others, with work, and with ourselves.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task — developing a therapeutic connection with someone is vulnerable and challenging, but it can be well worth it. I am wholly committed to equipping and empowering my clients with the necessary tools to effectively understand and manage their mental health. In my work with individuals of all ages, my number one priority is creating a comfortable, person-centered, and safely challenging environment where you can move at your own pace and trust that you will be met with understanding, support, and respect.

Hi, I’m Preet, a psychotherapist and board-certified mental health therapist in New York State with a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology from New York University and a strong connection to The New School as an alumna. I am dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone feels valued, seen, and understood.

Sometimes, life’s challenges are difficult to master on our own. If you’re feeling stuck, unfulfilled, overwhelmed, or isolated, there are constructive ways out. Psychotherapy can make a difference.

My name is Melissa Rios. I am a licensed psychotherapist and addiction specialist with over 20 years of experience helping others. My approach is person-centered. I am trained in what's called a psychodynamic approach, but my work is highly integrative. The truth is that no one approach works best for all people or all problems. I may offer you a different perspective, I may challenge you in a supportive way, and I may suggest various coping strategies so that you can start to make the changes that you want. Therapy with me is empowering, collaborative, and non-judgmental.

It is my belief that mental illness and addiction can be treated successfully when a therapist and client have an active, open, and trusting, collaborative relationship. Sometimes an individual who is suffering needs to believe that there are solutions available for them and the chance to change. I have extensive training in working clinically with adolescents, young adults, and adults suffering from depression, anxiety, job burnout, addiction, or painful life transitions. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist and am extremely focused on helping my clients find solutions for their current problems.

In my practice I enjoy helping people in their journey of self-understanding and life enrichment. My approach is primarily Psychodynamic, flexibly integrating elements of other evidence-based psychotherapies, such as CBT and DBT. I work with each person to identify core motivations, and to arrive at a more accurate and adaptive self-understanding. A focus of the collaborative work involves improving awareness of unproductive patterns of behavior. This usually leads to a virtuous cycle of insight, positive feelings, and behavioral activation. Clients gain a greater sense of personal agency and more control over the choices in their lives.

Do you feel anxious or "less-than" or need help w/ relationships (or finding one), w/ sex, or work stress ? Is now your time to live a more elegant life? Are you fearful that your relationship is in trouble or are you trying to recover from infidelity, seek to improve intimacy, want to stop arguing (My TED Talk is about this!) or desire to enhance communication? Have health anxiety or want to prevent migraine? (I'm 27+ years migraine free!) If your answer is "Yes!" then I'd LOVE to help. I will help you to examine the thoughts, feelings and behaviors contributing to discomfort and teach you simple tools to help you secure SUCCESS!

Sometimes life has us so overwhelmed that words evade us. We can be drenched in emotion, or we can be numb to it all. Our struggles manifest uniquely according to the biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual elements in our lives. We might feel lost and alone, but it is important to remember that we are not. I wish to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you, in which we can explore together. We may attempt to connect words with feelings, or we may let silence hold its power; the conscious and the unconscious are both invited. Through our relationship we may discover new pathways of resilience.

I believe therapy is a gift that allows one's inner strength to emerge while our personal journey through life's experiences makes us who we are. My own journey has led me to my career as a therapist which allows me the honor and opportunity to work together with my clients to recognize their own strengths and limitations in achieving their goals. All this takes place within a strong, non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship that is built on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. I have a calm, warm, relaxed style and believe in creating a safe space for you where compassion, support, and humour can live.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and New Jersey. I am an authorized practitioner through PSYPACT, which allows me to practice telepsychology in 39 states. My office is in Midtown Manhattan, where I also provide psychotherapy for adolescents and adults using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT. I also perform psychological evaluations and specialize in education and forensic evaluations.

I understand the vulnerability, trust and courage it takes to engage in psychotherapy and confide your deepest worries, fears and desires in someone. I also know that it can be challenging to nourish your self-esteem and experience positive emotions when you feel consumed by excessive worry and the recurrent distress of traumatic events. You don’t have to do this alone. Together we will work on developing the mechanisms you need to cultivate inner peace and harmony as you weather some of your life’s transitions.

In a safe, supportive environment we will work together to help you live a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life. While I have extensive experience helping clients with depression, anxiety, trauma & other painful conditions, I also offer specialized treatment for those seeking healing & recovery from sexual addiction/compulsivity, love & romance addiction, attachment disorders & other problematic behavior patterns involving relationships. My clients describe me as empathetic & caring while also highly effective at facilitating positive growth & transformation in their lives. All sexual orientations/gender identities welcome.

Do you feel you are riding an emotional rollercoaster? Alternatively, do you feel like you are living in auto-pilot, going through the motions in life without finding much satisfaction? Or maybe you are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with past traumas, relationship or work difficulties, or are just feeling stuck. Although we may find ourselves surrounded by supportive family and friends, we may still feel alone and isolated in our distress. Pain in life may be unavoidable, but you don’t need to go through it alone.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist working with individuals and couples.

Areas of expertise include sexual dysfunction; arousal, desire, and orgasmic issues; intimacy issues with self and partners; compulsive/hypersexual behavior/sex addiction; love addiction; paraphilias; and treating partners of sex addicts. Please note that I am licensed in both CA & NY.

If you’re struggling with the changes and challenges that life can bring, I understand and I’m here to help! Therapy that is grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship can be a useful tool to process feelings while working to build on pre-existing strengths and skills to navigate difficult times. I work to create a comfortable and supportive space to collaborate with clients to discover what they most need and help facilitate reflection, healing, and growth. I work primarily with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, and identity formation.

I work with individuals who find themselves stuck, or struggling with work, relationships, family, loss, and identity issues. Are you feeling anxious or depressed due to recent challenges in your life? Have you been struggling with self-confidence, purpose or direction in in our current times? Do you find yourself dealing with the difficulties of being part of a marginalized and/or stigmatized community? Starting therapy can be overwhelming and intimidating. However, it can also be the beginning of a self-exploration and discovery that leads to a more fulfilling, purposeful and balanced life.
