Psychoanalytic Therapists in Midtown West, New York, NY

I believe in the ever-present possibility of growth and the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate productive change in regard to what is not working or troublesome in people's lives. As a psychotherapist, I engage in confidential collaborative relationships grounded in respect, empathy, and safety in order to explore and help free people from patterns of functioning that are generally old, now maladaptive and personally limiting. Through achieving a deeper sense of self-understanding and personal growth, I believe in the increased capacity to live more satisfying emotional, social, and professional lives.

I welcome patients from a broad range of social, economic, and cultural backgrounds and work with issues such as anxiety and body-mediated distress to addiction, mourning, melancholia, and existential quandaries including those regarding work, intimacy and sex. With a background in Freudian and Lacanian theory—as well as literature and art—I find therapy most productive and illuminating when it explores not only a person's conscious interests and challenges but their unconscious thoughts as well.

I see talk therapy as a vital tool to help us build the lives we want and the world we desire. It’s my pleasure to work with adults and teens seeking a greater sense of purpose, freedom, and joy in daily life, and those looking for a sense of intimacy and trust to anchor their explorations. With patience and warm interest, I invite you to bring your curiosity to bear on whatever lives inside you: anxiety, loneliness, envy, anger, grief, and other inconvenient feelings. When we unearth the parts of ourselves we’ve kept hidden, we can reckon with their powerful undertow and harness their energy to transform our lives for the better.

Embarking on the journey of healing from trauma requires courage and compassion. In therapy, we'll navigate through the intricate layers of your experiences, gently unraveling the knots that trauma has woven into your life's narrative. Together, we'll create a safe space where you can explore, process, and integrate your past traumas, empowering you to reclaim your sense of self and move forward with renewed strength and resilience. Your healing journey is as unique as your experiences, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's embark on this transformative path towards healing and wholeness together.

As a first-generation US-born woman, I understand the rich tapestry of complexities that life offers, both lived and learned. My therapeutic approach is centered on creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your deeply rooted concerns. I believe that everyone needs the time and comfort to unpack their experiences and feelings at their own pace. My goal is to empower you to uncover and harness your strengths, helping you navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-awareness.

I am a warm and insightful psychologist who focuses on helping people make significant changes in personal and professional areas of their lives. I work with adults, couples, and families who are dealing with transitions or want to maximize their full potential. In the first session I identify the areas which are most crucial to focus on and the approach which will be most useful for reaching your goals quickly. We then jointly create a plan of action for reaching your objectives.

Life today can create a chronic sense of overwhelm resulting from constant stimulation and expectations. It may feel difficult to keep up with the pressure to maintain productivity, composure, and a steady sense of self. The therapeutic space can serve as a place to explore these anxieties and release yourself from external pressures. Our symptoms can arise out of the conflict between what we feel we are expected to be vs. who we really are. I work with children, teens, and adults and I am dedicated to hearing my clients in way that can alleviate suffering and promote long-lasting change.

It can be challenging to process all sorts of mixed emotions, as they wear you down in your personal and professional life. You may even begin to have self-doubts, struggling to move forward with your goals. The process of navigating these challenges on your own can be confusing, drowning, and overwhelming. I will work with you to build a collective space where we explore your concerns together, understand your emotions, and help you reestablish meaningful connections with others. I see therapy as interactions where you will be empowered to confront reality and appreciate yourself as a whole.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice I specialize in individual and group therapy with postgraduate training in psychoanalysis, CBT and Gestalt. I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist. Together we can create solutions to any life stressors that may be impacting you. My work focuses on helping clients with a range of issues, such as grief therapy, depression, anxiety, life/role transition, interpersonal conflicts, anger management and substance abuse. I will provide you with the tools needed to cultivate change and personal growth through developing awareness around the mind-body connection.

Change is inevitable but the passageway to it is difficult to navigate alone. Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between client and therapist to aid in that journey. This is achieved through a careful look at the ingredients in life that have resulted in a unique recipe for self-structure and patterning in each person. To change the recipe is to recalculate it's components, gradually sifting out past patterns that have led to disappointment or loss and replace them with others that lead to personal fulfillment. These patterns manifest themselves in work, personal and parenting concerns.

I want to help you empower yourself with love and self-acceptance. I approach the psychotherapy process in an interactive manner, and I view it as helping create new options. To this end, I integrate spontaneity and creativity in my work. I serve diverse populations, believing that "we are all more human than otherwise." My blog, Musings to Mull Over, accessible via this URL: musingstomullover.wordpress.com/, can give you a flavor of my approach and thinking. I welcome your comments and feedback on the site.

I like to do a two session consultation. In the first session you will have the space to tell me what has prompted you to seek treatment at this time. And in the second, through careful and non-intrusive inquiry, we will delineate the personality patterns that might be underpinning your current concerns. From there you can decide to work with me, I can help you find another therapist that better meets your needs, or we can simply part ways. The choice is yours, and the increased understanding is yours to keep!

You've come a long way. You're doing it. You're killing it at work or at school. You always have. But somehow, those old ways of thinking and feeling about yourself have followed despite your successes. At work, and with your friends, it looks like you have it all together. If anything, you're the first to lend a hand to others, even when you are completely running on empty. But something is missing, and its gnawing at you. You don't know what you want or need most of the time. We can figure that out together. We help patients find the permission they need to give themselves in order to live their most full, most authentic lives.

My approach to therapy focuses on the relationship and creating a safe environment for exploration and growth. Whether you struggle with issues unique to the LGBTQ+/ BIPOC community, interpersonal conflicts, mood shifts related to chronic pain, self esteem or social anxiety, a supportive bond has proven to be the key to change. Hopefully together we can become more curious about your unique point of view and find pathways to change that could lead to a more fulfillng life. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and interpersonal, in the tradition of relational psychoanalysis.

Deciding to enter therapy is an act of courage. If you feel overwhelmed or are dealing with situations in your life you can't manage therapy can make a difference when nothing else has worked. I help my patients recognize previously-unknown obstacles and long-standing patterns that get in the way of achieving their goals. In their work with me, my patients expand their capacity to see options in various areas of their lives, and so can make changes that improve and enhance the quality of their lives. I treat adults of all backgrounds and identities, and bring compassion and respect for a person's suffering to this work.
