Female Therapists in Little Italy, New York, NY

You deserve great care, where all your experiences are welcome. I have been in practice for over 10 years and worked with thousands of patients across presenting issues and demographics. I know that sometimes taking the step to getting support and help in therapy seems overwhelming and I celebrate you for being here! I also know that the experiences you've had leading up to exploring therapy have likely been even more overwhelming, and that you deserve to feel relief, comfort, and care for and from yourself. I specialize in working with grief, loss, transition, and relational traumas which have disrupted your sense of self and joy.

Do you feel like you are not good enough? A sensation that leaves you feeling small and alone. We all feel this way from time to time. But you don’t have to feel this way anymore. My sessions offer you a safe, judgement-free space to be vulnerable and explore the feelings you no longer need to bottle-up. I aim to empower and support you in becoming the best possible version of yourself. Someone you are proud to call “you”.

I (she/her/hers/ella) believe that therapy should be accessible, trauma-informed and should help people lead lives that interest and challenge them. My therapeutic approaches are rooted in social justice with an emphasis on exploration through learning and storytelling. I believe that everyone is an expert on their own lives and that clients are best supported when they are engaged in shaping their therapeutic experiences. I support clients who identify as Latinx, queer/trans/GNC and/or neurodivergent, have an intellectual disability, as well as young adults.

I specialize in educating my clients about the value of their emotions while accessing their personal strengths. I describe my treatment style as eclectic, while incorporating evidence based treatment modalities.

Whether you are a single adult, a partner, or a parent, we all struggle with stressors such as feelings of anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, financial pressures, and difficult relationships. Therapy can be a useful way to explore where you feel stuck, and discover alternate ways to manage and cope so that you can live the life you envision for yourself. I work from a psychoanalytic and family systems lens.

As a therapist I show up with compassion, curiosity, and without an agenda-you are the expert on your experience, and we will work together to build space for you to feel seen and find increased empowerment and ease in your life. I've worked with clients of all ages and have particular interest in working with people who may be struggling to express themselves, feel heard, age with dignity, manage caregiving responsibilities, or process grief or past trauma.

In a world that demands so much of us, seeking therapy can be considered a radical act. My name is Madeleine, and I’m here to offer a space where you can feel supported through whatever is bringing you to therapy. In this space, you can share your genuine self without shame, and we can work to get you to a place of contentment and balance.

I believe there is no single way of working with people who enter therapy. My goal as a therapist is to help you better understand yourself. Drawing from relational, cognitive, and trauma informed approaches, I support clients to build awareness, trust, and connection with themselves and to others. I believe that healing is deeply rooted in the therapeutic relationship and aim to create an environment that feels safe in order to heal.

I support individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and big life transitions. I specialize in working with people in their 20s and 30s who are trying to figure out who they want to be in the world. This time can bring big decisions regarding career, relationship, and family. Often called a quarter-life crisis, it is often hard for us to maintain that strength amid uncertainty, self-doubt, and fear. I help clients experiencing a quarter-life crisis to explore problem areas and harness their inner strength and resilience.

Feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to please everyone? Tired of feeling that nothing you do is good enough, no matter how hard you try? Trained at Columbia University with over a decade of experience, I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapies to help you navigate these challenges. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer a warm and direct approach tailored to help women address anxiety, stress, mood, and relationship issues. I am particularly passionate about helping women who struggle with people-pleasing tendencies, boundary setting, feelings of inadequacy, and burnout.

Are you struggling with motivation or low mood this summer? I am an experienced CBT psychologist with a positive, direct, and humor-filled style. If that approach appeals to you, I'd love to help!

Therapy can be life-changing. Through openness and commitment to the therapeutic process, you can increase confidence in overcoming challenges, find purpose and fulfillment, and develop a better connection to yourself and others. I want to help you identify and understand thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that impact your experience with life and work to set realistic goals to attain.

In the face of life's unexpected and expected challenges, including issues related to communication, relationships, loneliness, loss, anxiety, or depression, I strive to create a judgment-free space. Struggles that once felt manageable might now seem overwhelming. My aim is to facilitate genuine self-expression, identifying your unique strengths and areas for growth. I firmly believe that every individual possesses inherent coping abilities and resilience. It is my passion to support others in learning how to tolerate and grow from life’s challenges.

My goal is to provide you the support and attention you deserve, with a kind intention in our space. Through your shared stories, we will face your life challenges together, and acknowledge positive strengths you hold, as well as negative beliefs that may hold you back. Many of my clients seek support for anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, childhood trauma, ptsd, grief, identity crises, low self-esteem, and more. Together, we will address your needs and explore your past, your present, and set you up for a future you are comfortable and confident with.

I work with individuals navigating the intricacies of the human experience to help them cope with emotions that impact relationships with the self and others. My practice specializes in supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, chronic illness, life transitions, and pregnancy/postpartum support.

Therapy should be a place where you feel totally accepted, safe, and supported. Let me be your resource and support. I can help you learn new skills you can use to effectively deal with everyday problems, or help you overcome the struggles you have been dealing with for years. Learning how to deal with your problems and having a greater understanding of yourself will allow you to feel more confident and at peace, so you can focus on what is important.

It takes strength to pursue therapy. My approach is to meet you where you are at and go from there. Many feel they are only ready for therapy when in crisis or at their breaking point. I am here to tell you that it's ready for you whenever you need it. My style is warm, honest, and compassionate. My goal is to help you hold space for the messy parts and navigate how we can move through them together.

I use a client-driven approach when working with clients. I will ask guiding questions to assist clients to learn more about themselves, strive to have clients to self-identify root causes of certain patterns and behaviors that they are experiencing, and provide encouragement to clients to strengthen their self-esteem and confidence. I use Internal Family Systems, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Coaching, and Family Dynamics Therapy systems.

Each individual's journey is filled with unique challenges and experiences. We all deserve a supportive space to navigate and overcome those obstacles. By working together in a cohesive and collaborative manner, we can help you become your best, most authentic self. Let us be part of your journey to healing and personal growth.
