Therapists in Midtown, New York, NY

Hello! My name is Jenna Hendricksen and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York State. I welcome clients from varied backgrounds and enjoy supporting them in surmounting life transitions, exploring pre-marital therapy, managing trauma, reducing anxiety and depression, and resolving couples issues. My work draws upon several evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and behavioral therapy. I also have several years' experience in supporting individuals on the autism spectrum and their families.

As a licensed psychotherapist with more than 25 years of experience, I have helped countless individuals overcome deep-seated emotional issues that have prevented them from achieving their personal and professional goals. My approach involves using a short-term directive modality that quickly gets to the heart of the problem, allowing my clients to start seeing positive results sooner rather than later.

Tired of feeling stuck and frustrated? You deserve to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. I can help you accomplish that in numerous ways. While I offer traditional talk therapy, I also offer Somatic Experiencing and EMDR. Both of these modalities utilize an inside-out approach, facilitating healing at a deep, somatic level that endures, rather than trying to convince yourself you are okay when you know you don’t feel it in your body. Plus, you never have to sacrifice one approach for another. We continue to incorporate other modalities, such as psychodynamic, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral interventions, into treatment.

When starting therapy it's important to choose someone you feel comfortable with and can trust. I like to start by meeting once or twice to see if we are a good match. Together we will address the problem that brings you into therapy and establish a treatment direction designed to meet your goals. My orientation is Psychodynamic and my style is supportive, interactive and collaborative. Successful therapy can either be a short or long term process and I belive that it's important to periodically touch base to make sure that your needs are being met.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in New York City. I primarily work with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, or identity concerns. Many who see me for therapy are experiencing symptoms such as excessive fear, struggles to engage life in ways they desire, or are simply struggling to connect meaningfully with others.

Creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental and collaborative space for growth and healing is my primary objective as a therapist. Who you are and what you have experienced is unique, and so will be your path to healing. I offer both short-term treatment to focus on a specific issue in your life, or longer-term talk and somatic therapy to delve into deeper issues that impact your relationships or mental and emotional wellbeing. I am both trained in and provide Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapies.

Specialized therapy for all people and couples wanting to improve symptoms of anxiety in relationships. I work with individuals and couples hoping to improve their relationships with their significant other(s), people they’re dating, family members, and friends. If you experience anxiety, and find yourself feeling helpless in the process of being safe and secure in your relationships, there is absolutely help for you that will have you feeling better and more connected to those around you (and yourself) within your first few sessions.

I work well with couples who are experiencing difficulties with communication, trust, violence, infidelity, divorce, and trauma. I am trained in EMDR and Focusing-Oriented therapy. In my work with individual clients, often the focus of therapy is helping with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and sexual orientation and identity. I also have experience working with individuals and couples dealing with infertility and fertility treatments.

Individual and Couple sessions informed by attachment theory, trauma and when needed sex therapy are provided in my Columbus Circle office. I can help with communication, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and attention issues. I am certified in EMDR and Board Certified in Neurofeedback and trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. EMDR and Neurofeedback are 2 of the key treatment therapies recommended in the book; BODY KEEPS THE SCORE by Bessel van der Kolk, MD. Research demonstrates how the brain and our emotional lives interact and how with assistance we can change our lives.

Are you experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, or relationship distress? Does life feel overwhelming and challenging right now, and possibly has felt so for many years, or even as long as you can remember? I am an EMDR Certified therapist, and I work with individual clients, couples and family groups.

I am passionate about working with adults (18+) that are struggling with painful life experiences. I provide a safe, accepting environment, using evidence-based modalities for change, and support my clients in the process of healing and becoming the best versions of themselves. My clients are resilient- however, having to be "strong" and in survival mode all the time is exhausting, and it's okay to let your guard down with me. I aim to support my clients in not only surviving, but thriving. My clients ultimately achieve a healthier relationship with themselves, others, and the world around them.

My passion, training & expertise is directly focused on helping people create engaging, deeply satisfying relationships. I'm both a Certified Emotionally Focused (EFT) Couples Therapist and Supervisor as well as an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. If you are in a relationship fraught with conflict or that is emotionally-barren & unrewarding, or experiencing sexual problems, or perhaps you are single and looking to create a fulfilling relationship, we can schedule a phone or video conf. consult at no charge to discuss your situation further -- visit my website www.fulfilledcouples.com to learn more about my philosophy and training.

I work with individuals of all gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, gender, sexuality, and relationships. I am a life-long learner in the field of psychology and have learned, and continue to learn many different therapeutic modalities, so my approach is eclectic and tailored to the unique needs and wants of each individual. I have also been in my own therapy for each of the modalities I practice.

As I work with individuals, couples and families, my goal is to create an interactive, supportive, yet challenging environment focusing on how to get to the heart of the matter quickly and safely. I specialize in a wide range of issues including -but not limited to- depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts and trauma.

I believe we're all looking for the same thing: to be heard and understood. My approach is rooted in relational therapy, emphasizing the development of the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing. I advocate for a focus on the human experience over pathologizing mental health and understand that cultural differences, societal pressures, and life's inherent chaos impact our mental well-being in profound ways. While I do have a clinical side and apply therapeutic modalities, my priority isn’t stamping a diagnosis on you and calling it a day; it’s all about truly standing by the power of the therapy bond.

Everyone has a story to tell and sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is share their story. When your story is holding you back from becoming the greatest version of yourself then it’s time to work through any negative messages you may have been telling yourself. I believe we all have the tools we need to accomplish our goals and sometimes we need a different perspective. I am licensed in both Connecticut and New York. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and DBT. I can also provide coaching services upon request.

In talk therapy I use a primarily cognitive-behavioral approach, bringing attention to the cycle of thoughts, feelings, and actions that are connected to our overall state of well-being. Working on that cycle can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger, and lead to more positive regard for ourselves and stronger relationships with the people in our lives. I also am certified to integrate mind-body awareness and healing with EMDR, a therapy that helps resolve intense feelings about painful past experiences, and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a music program that helps regulate the nervous system and improve related symptoms.

Have you wondered if your child or adolescent would benefit from therapy? I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. I can help your child explore their feelings, make sense of their experience, and develop their full potential. I can help your child become their own therapist by learning techniques and coping strategies to learn how to deal with their challenges in their lives. I work well with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, social issues, learning issues, attention deficit disorder, and body image issues. Clients often see improved well-being early on in therapy.
