Female Therapists in Midtown, New York, NY

Psychotherapy is to the mind what the immune system is to the body. It protects and strengthens. Our mental health is a measure of how strong the relationships in our lives are. Our sense of wellbeing is linked to our ability to create and sustain healthy connections with other people. When our needs for safety, trust or atunement haven't been met; where there was or is neglect, abuse, or other traumas, our nervous system's capacity to regulate feelings gets compromised.

Therapy provides the opportunity for you to examine your feelings, thoughts and behavior in a collaborative environment. I am here to listen, help you gain insight into your concerns and identify how to make positive changes in your life. With a supportive therapeutic relationship, I will provide a safe space for you to process your inner thoughts and challenging moments.

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.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specilizing in the cognitive behavioral approach to psychotherapy (CBT). Cognitive behavioral therapy is a short-term, problem-focused orientation that aims to provide practical tools with which we may use to manage life's changes. I enjoy working with a culturally diverse population on a range of concerns, including anxiety, anger, depression, acculturation, adjustment, and relationship issues.

I believe that safety, creativity and collaborative give-and-take are the crucial ingredients for a successful therapy experience. This enables the patient to look at past and present difficulties within the context of a new and potentially transformative relationship. I work to create an environment where patients can get to know and tolerate knowing many parts of themselves. I approach this task with sensitivity, curiosity, humor and warmth.

Relationships are the origin of our greatest growth, yet can also be the source of our greatest challenges. My goal in our work together is to help you as an Individual, Couple, or Family to better understand these multifaceted relationships. Often these complicated relationships come intertwined with other issues which we can also examine together. As your therapist, I will provide empathy, compassion and guidance to help you and/or your family work through your challenges. Please check out my website and 2-minute introductory video: www.LLYoung.com. Thank you.

In 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I have learned that the most valuable thing I can do is to help my clients to accept themselves for whatever feelings and thoughts they have. I think self-rejection is the biggest block to healing. I also regard spirituality as an integral part of healing in psychotherapy. I do not use any particular theoretical framework (though I have many at my disposal), but tailor my approach to each individual's needs. My sessions are lively and interactive, and I believe that humor is an integral part of the healing process. Please see my video on Youtube where I describe the work I do.

I am in network with Aetna, Cigna, Empire BlueCross BlueShield, Oscar Health, Oxford and UnitedHealthcare. Starting the search for a therapist is your first step on your journey to change and I would be honored to take this journey with you! As a therapist, I use empathy and humor to provide a comfortable and non-judgmental environment where you feel like you can be your true self.

The ideal client that I can best serve is one who is struggling with anxiety and wants to find ways to manage it in their everyday life. I also work very well with clients who are trying to do the work to find their own identity in a world full of expectations and influence. I am passionate about helping clients work through transitions in life at various stages whether it be the journey from college into the workforce, changes in their relationships, intimate and familial or changes in their sources of fulfillment and accomplishment.

I am an extensively trained licensed psychologist and life coach. I use an integrative approach in which psychodynamic, existential and buddhist principles are informed by neuroscience, psychoanalysis, developmental and cognitive theory. I am interested in who you are -- your feelings and thoughts about your past experiences, present concerns, and the changes you want to make in your life and relationships. I provide a comfortable and safe framework within which you can share your story, temper your anxiety and make meaningful changes in your life. I continue to work safely and remotely with my clients and welcome your call.

Therapy is a collaborative partnership built on trust, empathy, and honesty. I strive to create an inviting, warm, safe space for my clients to explore, grow, and develop confidence and trust in themselves. As a therapist, I focus on the person, not just the problem. My goal is to provide support and help you hone in on your resilience and resourcefulness, so you leave our sessions feeling empowered, centered, and in control.

I work with adults who are struggling with racing thoughts, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or having issues with focusing. I help clients disentangle their thoughts, learn to cope with their stressors, improve their self-esteem, and make life transitions. Our work will teach you new coping skills, change your ways of thinking and relating to others, and resolve any past traumatic experiences that might be leaving you feeling stagnant, overwhelmed, or less connected to yourself or others.

In the face of the growing array of anxiety, grief, and trauma emerging today, we are all assaulted by chronic high-stress and complex traumatic events. These traumatic events can result in symptoms such as intense emotions, swirling thoughts, anxieties, fear, and unexplained aches and pain. I offer my clients a customized treatment plan in a safe, private, supportive space for healing and post-traumatic growth. You will discover patterns to celebrate and patterns to change. Understanding your biology and learning how to come into autonomic regulation is vital to release, re-process trauma, and update your narrative.

Therapy is one of the best investments you will make, and it will change your life. You are here because you are ready for change. You know you are meant to live the life you always envisioned and to feel your inherent worth. Maybe right now you're feeling anxious, stuck, down, or overwhelmed. Maybe past memories keep coming up and are preventing you from moving forward. Through allowing yourself to heal, feel self-compassion, unlearn self-limiting beliefs, and develop a healthy connection with yourself and with others, you will naturally feel more aligned in life.

You're entering a space where you can be unapologetically you! That means you're free to laugh, cry, scream, and vent. I will be with you through each stage of emotion and I am going to challenge you to be in that moment, to feel, and to understand your emotions. I believe that healing begins when a client shows their authentic sense without worrying about being judged for what they are thinking or feeling. I create an atmosphere where the client understands that it is ok to not be ok but I also push the client to independently develop their own mental resilience and identify what they need to push forward through their struggles.

Therapy offers the possibility for change so that, with the appropriate guidance, you can become more content. Through therapy, you can discover who you are and what you want: what saddens and excites you and what dictates your unhappy choices in life to modify them with choices that are more satisfying and realistic. Therapy may eventually lead you to a more meaningful life, more enjoyment in work and love, and ultimately give you the ability to come to terms with your limitations, strengths, and surroundings; Therapy helps survive shame and manage loss, anxiety and sadness.

In my practice, I play a crucial role in helping clients navigate the complexities of mental health challenges and various life transitions. Specializing in gender dysphoria and the intricate processes of transition, I provide dedicated support to individuals navigating these unique journeys. In recognizing the diversity of human relationships, I work with clients across various relationship forms, including those engaged in non-monogamous dynamics. My goal is to assist individuals, couples and families in achieving a greater sense of unity and satisfaction in their lives.

I am a licensed psychologist at The Ross Center, a comprehensive outpatient practice that provides treatment for anxiety and mental health. I specialize in working with women experiencing anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and life transitions. As an EMDRIA-Approved EMDR therapist, I exclusively offer EMDR Intensives to help clients go deeper and accelerate their healing journey. An intensive consists of focused, time-limited treatment using a trauma-informed therapy lens. I provide treatment in NY, NJ, VA and DC using a virtual, HIPAA compliant telemedicine platform.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with experience and interest in issues around anxiety, depression, relationships, as well as aspects of identity including ethnicity, immigration, gender, and sexual orientation. Over the past eleven years, I've worked with adolescents and adults in multiple settings including university college counseling centers, community mental health, inpatient hospital settings, as well as forensic facilities. I also have extensive training in assessment, especially personality assessment, which informs my therapeutic approach. Drawing from a number of theoretical orientations within Psychology, I believe that a supportive alliance is the sine qua non for effective therapy.
