Therapists in Greenwich Village, New York, NY

The ideal client for me is a young, mature, or elder adult who is motivated by their suffering or by their character to learn something new about themselves, to resolve some issue which is causing them anguish or anxiety, or both. Therapy is as much an educational process as a healing process. Both learning and healing are key elements of successful therapeutic collaboration. I am suited to treat any of the specialties designated in my profile. I have network of colleagues through which I make referrals for issues that require specialists' attention such as severe addictive issues or veterans' PTSD.

Hi, I'm Idil. I am an engaged and genuine therapist specializing in anxiety, relationships, life transitions and chronic illness. I will give you feedback and tools to help you navigate life’s challenges and increase resilience. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental and warm environment for therapy. I believe a good therapist-client fit is essential for outcomes, so I am always happy to hear feedback on how we can improve sessions to help you meet your goals.

I help people love themselves more, quiet their minds, and embrace the lives they truly want and deserve to be living. Therapy with me will be challenging, fun, freeing, and honest without judgment. I believe that we all have the ability to live full, rich, rewarding lives. We hold ourselves back through negative thinking, anxiety, and self doubt. I have extensive experience with many different groups of people and issues and tailor my approach to your needs and personality. I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, trauma, and body image issues, among others

Hi, I'm Jenna! As a therapist, I aim to create a safe space for you to be vulnerable throughout your journey of self-exploration and acceptance. We will work together to develop new coping skills and approaches to achieve the changes you wish to see in your life. Therapy is a journey that may be difficult and uncomfortable at times, but it is often in discomfort where we see the most change.

Clients I've worked with vary from depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, family conflict, and relationship concerns. The process allows you to enhance your quality of life through the process of discovery, exploration, and insight into experiences that have shaped you, address the presenting problems, and find more effective tools to navigate oncoming life and realities.

I am a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with many years of experience treating adults, adolescents and children. While I utilize a wide range of current treatment techniques, my practice is based on a foundation of contemporary psychoanalytic approaches. I have found a psychodynamic perspective---the view that our emotional lives represent a continually evolving process that determines our lived experience in meaningful and purposive ways---to be essential for understanding a whole person and their current life situation.

In engaging in therapy one is doing something vulnerable, difficult, and at times, joyful. Whether this be your first time in therapy or your 100th, I seek to help create a safe and supportive space in order to process difficult emotions and examine coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you. I believe in the power of curiosity to better understand your holistic self, and will work to gently tap into that in our sessions. Together, we will gain insight that brings you closer to a fulfilled self, while supporting however you define that.

Hello! I'm Alexa, a mental health counselor dedicated to aiding your journey towards emotional wellness and personal growth. Recognizing the courage it takes to start therapy, I commend your decision to seek growth and healing. In my practice, I emphasize compassion, empathy, and respect for your unique life story. I appreciate the complexity of life's challenges and provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to openly discuss your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Our sessions offer a safe, comfortable environment where your voice is heard and valued.

Ideally, therapy has been shown to have the best outcomes when you feel like your therapist gets you. Therapy is a relationship, rather than a set of instructions. My approach is warm, interactive, practical, and empathic, and I draw from relational, feminist, trauma-informed, anti-racist treatment models. I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, along with helping you contextualize your life experiences, honoring your expertise in your own life.

It can be hard to ask for help, especially when you feel sad or anxious, lonely or struggling in a relationship, confused or overwhelmed, or insecure. Commonly, these feelings interfere with life, with accomplishing career goals or being satisfied in relationships. Maybe you have trouble motivating, or you're preoccupied with worry, or you're withdrawing from social activities - that you normally enjoy. Perhaps you find yourself stuck, repeating the same old patterns, never achieving what you really want. Feelings are an inevitable part of human existence. But you don't need to be suffering.

The reasons to seek therapy are endless: life changes, feelings of depression or anxiety, the realization that a change is needed, feeling lost or stuck, the loss of a loved one or any situation that brings us distress. Talking to someone about these circumstances can seem daunting, but it does not have to be. Therapy offers the ability to talk about your unique situation in a safe and compassionate environment. I provide a space for growth and healing where you will be supported and listened to without judgement.

After spending so many years as part of a couple you don't know how to be on your own. Your relationship was part of your identity and you're not sure who you are anymore. All the plans you made for the future are useless now. You thought your relationship would last forever. Both of you were confident that you were with the right person. You were so happy together. It's hard to believe that same couple can't even be in the same room now. All the two of you do is fight. You never believed your partner could be the cause of so much hurt. The separation left you with a hole in your life and you don't know how to fill it.

In our conversations I will emphasize listening, respect, and empathy. We will work together collaboratively whether you have immediate concerns or seek longer term work focused on self-discovery and growth. My role is to help you understand yourself better. I have 12 years of experience working in community mental health in New York City. I am familiar with a broad spectrum of diagnoses and have helped people from all walks of life. Having worked with hundreds of patients I understand that each person is unique and the work of navigating life’s difficulties requires commitment to understanding your specific circumstances.

I have been in private practice for 18 years working with adults, couples and adolescents. I help guide people who may be ambivalent about what it is they want in their relationships or careers, or are unsure how to get what they do want. There are often hidden things we haven't given voice to, usually out of concern of being judged, hurting others, or feeling ashamed. Concealing or judging parts of our true selves in this way often interferes with love, work, friendships and a sense of purpose, often causing difficulties such as depression and anxiety.

If you're seeking therapy, chances are that you're looking for a change or to find ways to cope with your struggles. My approach in therapy is to do my best to understand you and help you toward healing and growth. I've found one of the most powerful things people gain from therapy is recognizing that you're not alone and that change is possible. I have training and experience working with individuals and couples of various identities, backgrounds, and cultures and understand the importance of not having your experiences feel dismissed. I also run a group therapy for those looking to find support through community.

It’s my belief that every person has the innate capacity for healing and growth, but change can be difficult. I am honored to join you along this journey and support you at every step of the way. My goal as a therapist is to create a nonjudgmental and supportive environment where you can explore your emotions and work toward self-acceptance.

There are many reasons we might seek psychotherapy. We might want more or better for ourselves. We may be ready for change but something is stopping us. Perhaps we are grappling with a change, challenge, or uncertainty already upon us. The people I work with face challenges at various life stages, including those related to depression, anxiety, chronic/acute trauma, cultural conflicts, relationships, motherhood, high-pressure academic and work environments, entrepreneurship, and loss.

Lacking confidence and a belief in your ability to achieve your goals often stems from unconscious negative thoughts and feelings about yourself that develop early in life. These negative thoughts and feelings often leave you unfulfilled in various aspects of your life because you do not believe that you can achieve the life that aligns with your authentic self. The therapeutic relationship is particularly rewarding as it allows you to access a more genuine version of yourself. However, it can be difficult to feel comfortable enough to truly open up to someone.

I find particular excitement in helping clients ease into a new way of thinking to unburden themselves from the feeling of being "trapped." Finding the right new perspective can be incredibly life-changing.
