Therapists in Lincoln Square, New York, NY

I am a clinical psychologist with over 28 years experience providing treatment, clinical instruction and supervision in evidenced based psychotherapy. I have served as a clinical director, supervisor, and clinical instructor of psychology to programs at Columbia Presbyterian, Mt Sinai Medical Center, and Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation.I am committed to the practice and advancement of treatment approaches which strengthen psychological skills for coping with life challenges. I have specialized in the treatment of depression, anxiety , including ptsd, and co-occurring disorders of addiction and mental health.

I am a NY State Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of post-masters experience working with trauma, specifically victims and survivors of interpersonal violence. East End Psychotherapy is a clinical practice committed to assisting, supporting, and empowering individuals through challenging periods in their lives. Along with the client, a treatment plan will be developed based on specific needs and goals utilizing evidenced-based therapeutic modalities (an interdisciplinary approach to clinical practice supported by research).

Therapy works, and people can change. In my practice people stop acting like marionettes dangling on invisible ropes and feeling "out of control" or stuck in repetitive, unproductive destructive motions. Together, we rewrite your story and free you to choose new, productive, more authentic and organic behaviors. You will figure out what you really want and how to get it. You will also learn that you can't get a quick fix. It took you many years to "create" yourself the way you are, and you need to acknowledge and respect this creatively devised mechanism.

I believe that people seek treatment because they are hurting and want to relieve the pain. I help the individual or couple find a way to change patterns of behavior that are adding to the pain. In the therapy we get to examine feelings and thoughts as well as interpersonal interactions that are damaging and may be contributing to the pain. I believe that the therapeutic process is a collaborative process where the patient and therapist work together towards a goal mutually agreed upon.

I am a NYS licensed Psychoanalyst and I am Licensed as a Clinical Psychologist in Israel. I have 17 years of experience working with individuals and couples from diverse cultures and backgrounds. I invite you to explore the difficulties with which you are struggling, in an accepting, non judgmental and playful environment. Together, we will learn about unconscious and unprocessed aspects of your sense of self and about narratives you carry with you that affect your life choices and that shape your everyday experiences with people and alone and will work together to modify it in a way that will allow you higher degrees of freedom.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice for over twenty years. I treat families, adolescents and adults, especially those seeking help with depression, eating problems, trauma, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, LGBTQ issues, career decisions, cult involvement and feelings of isolation. I supervise other psychotherapists in a collaborative and supportive environment, with an emphasis on independent and creative thinking. I use varied approaches in my practice, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to treat trauma victims and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.

My name is Brooke Jacobson, LMHC and I am a psychotherapist in NYC. I graduated with my M.A./EdM. in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University, and have spent the last 5 years building a successful career using evidence-based practices to treat clients living with eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, and depression. I primarily specialize in working with young adults, but have extensive experience working with teenagers and adults of all ages.

We all seek a psychotherapist when we feel lost, confused, out of sorts with ourselves and others and it takes courage to expose one's self at times like this. Just the act of making the call to a therapist creates more confidence because it's a step towards gaining a little mastery over one's confusion or paralysis. It signals one does believe there's the chance of resolving one's problems and moving forward.

I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with over 25 years of experience helping a wide range of individuals. All shared feelings of being stuck or blocked in fundamental areas of their lives. Powerful feelings and beliefs involving shame, fear, anger and sadness had disconnected them from inner sources of strength and self-esteem, and had prevented them from living and working freely and fully. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative relationship in which we identify and resolve those obstacles, leaving you with a new or renewed sense of authenticity, energy and hope.

Therapy can empower you by affirming your strengths and expanding your capacity to deal with problems more effectively. In short, therapy can lead to a more fulfilling life. I see therapy as a powerful process of exploration and self-discovery that ultimately enables us to follow our instincts, believe in our decisions, set healthy boundaries for ourselves, and allow our true self to emerge. Through therapy we become more confident and resilient, learn to cope with difficult feelings and situations, develop insight, broaden our perspectives, and overcome obstacles to achieve greater fulfillment and well-being.

A unique and trusting bond established between a therapist and client creates a base from which the understanding and resolution of difficulties can emerge. The way you feel about your self, your life, your relationships and your pursuits can drastically change when the challenges you face feel overwhelming and out of control. We get through much of life's difficulties using our unique ability to cope. When our coping mechanisms start to feel as though they no longer work, that is the best time to seek help.

Welcome! If you are queer, trans, non-binary, questioning, neurodivergent, kinky, poly, or otherwise inclined to defy mainstream narratives of mental health and well-being, then I may be the right fit for you. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the New York metro area, I offer an oasis of compassion, creativity, and self-reflection. I have several years of experience working as a body-neutral and LGBTQ-affirming sex educator, as well as working with queer and trans youth of color. I am especially proud to assist others in dismantling internalized forms of oppression and critically reframing their experiences with radical self-love.

For 25 years I have worked closely with individuals and families and have developed an eclectic set of skills that work effectively with people experiencing a life crisis, loss, and change. Most of us have asked ourselves the purpose/meaning of our lives. We have all had obstacles obscure the path we wish to walk on. Talking can bring clarity. Bringing awareness brings self knowledge that can help you transform into the person you aspire to be. You are welcome to join me in this search for self.

A primary focus is relief from depression and anxiety while increasing self-esteem and pleasure along with stability in personal relationships. I empower my patients to make the needed changes in their lives while staying motivated and provide the safe space and emotionally healing environment essential for growth.

Trained in both classical and contemporary analysis, I focus on depression and anxiety, sexual and relationship issues, trauma and self-identity problems. We would start with a consultation and our goal would be to establish a fruitful connection from the beginning. My other goals include helping you with your feelings, the troubling ones that return unwanted. I have found listening well is at least as important as talking well. Speech contains levels of meaning and so does silence. We discourse together in a dialogue leading to better relationships, better functioning, and better experiences.

As a dynamic, interactive, solution-focused therapist, my approach is to provide support and practical feedback to clients, as well as assisting them in resolving current problems and long-standing dysfunctional patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, my clients are helped to find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.

So you no doubt want to know the key things about me. Almost all my patients come to understand that they are getting a nonjudgemental empathic ear, & it is manifest in my unbridled enthusiasm supporting their tentative & often fearful efforts to move around some psychological boulders...and they come to accept that positive change is achievable. My focus is on you. In other words I address my patient's individual current conflicts & current dynamic patterns of interacting with others, often in troubling scenarios, I work out of an eclectic mix of crisis intervention, brief & longterm group & individual psychology.
