Therapists in SoHo, New York, NY

Desires drive our lives—what we want, when, and how. Our efforts are focused on moving towards what we desire and away from what we do not want. The more inflexible or rigid our desires become, the more disappointment and anger we feel when faced with undesired outcomes. Frequently, in our pursuit of fulfilling these desires, we may drift away from aligning with our values or becoming the person we aspire to be. And that can be painful. Anxiety and fear often become ingrained habits aimed at avoiding undesired outcomes—”a need for control to achieve what I want or to ensure I don’t get what I fear.”

I am a licensed social worker utilizing a number of techniques to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and health-related conditions. I believe that anyone can benefit from therapy. Setting aside time to process emotions can help to develop coping skills, self-compassion, and generally connect with your purpose in life. My approach to therapy draws from an eclectic mix of evidence-based practices to provide services that are both individualized and collaborative.

Seeking therapy for your child can be extremely stressful. I believe that when a child faces difficult times, it's crucial that they're supported and taught skills in order to help benefit their future. Managing the stressors of life and the behaviors our thoughts create can be extremely difficult.

Feeling alone, confused or overwhelmed? Anxious or depressed? Struggling with an emotionally unhealthy relationship or unable to establish a fulfilling, intimate one? Not realizing your personal or professional goals or reaching your potential? Psychotherapy with a highly trained, experienced professional can provide a safe space to deal with these and many other issues and facilitate change. I view psychotherapy as a journey that you and I take together to help you explore and reflect on problems that are troubling you. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified psychoanalyst with over 20 years of training and experience.

Taking the first steps to fully integrate the body, mind, and spirit has become a revolutionary act in our society. Many of us were not taught how to listen to our inner guiding voice, or at worse taught to actively ignore it. My role as your therapist is to help you recognize that voice and nurture a wholehearted bond with it. The therapeutic journey to make oneself whole can seem daunting to someone just taking their first steps. Part of this work is building trust with their therapist. To understand that they're safe, connected with, able to heal old wounds; and know that a safe space is held. This role is the most important.

I am passionate about empowering individuals and helping them heal. I am committed to providing my clients with a safe space in which they can work on overcoming their symptoms, building self-esteem and achieving personal growth.

Personal difficulties and the inner conflicts that often accompany them may present a challenge to what we understand of our identities, relationships, and personal histories. Through the work of speaking about our desires and difficulties in the presence of an attentive, skilled listener these conflicts can often reveal previously hidden truths that drive our everyday experiences. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space for confidential, non-judgmental listening and relating to the unique aspects of your experience, to help you work through conflicts.

I am thrilled to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds, particularly those who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), and who have experienced childhood trauma. If you find it challenging to connect with your emotions and navigate the complexities of your inner world, you have come to the right place. As a compassionate and empathetic therapist, I aim to understand the unique struggles you may face as you seek to heal from the wounds of the past, enhance your emotional well-being and cultivate a fulfilling life in the present.

Often folks develop useful, but sometimes counterproductive, ways of surviving or getting through overwhelming moments. Therapy can be a place to disrupt old habits that have long served their purpose and may be blocking opportunities for growth and happiness. It's a place to not just be seen and heard, but where you can see and hear yourself. I specialize in helping clients find solutions to problems related to depression, anxiety, reproductive health, a/sexual identity, and traumatic experiences.

Haley provides evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and adults. She has had the opportunity to provide care in private practice, school, and medical settings. This array of experiences has fostered her ability to understand clients through a multi-disciplinary lens and draw upon a multitude of evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Prevention-Focused Care, Crisis Intervention, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention. She utilizes these therapies to target anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, trauma, and executive functioning deficits.

Is it time to put your life (or certain aspects of it) up for review? Are you interested in reflecting on what patterns, beliefs, behaviors, values, or relationships may no longer be serving you? With a warm style and an encouraging sense of humor, I'll collaborate with you to identify roadblocks that are keeping you stuck and we'll chart a new path moving forward. No matter our focus, we’ll make sure to develop an individualized treatment plan that honors your specific treatment goals. I strike a balance between unconditional acceptance of who you are and making sure to appropriately challenge you to ensure growth and healing.

Deciding on a therapist for your teen can feel like an extremely complicated process but finding the right therapist for your family is extremely important. We rarely find ourselves seeking therapy when everything is comfortable and going well, instead, we may be feeling helpless, unlovable, angry, isolated, and stuck in situations without solutions, only reinforcing how inadequate we feel. Your teen may feel confused, fearful, angry, or depressed. You may be concerned about their mood or behaviors. You want to help and that's why you're reaching out. You just want them to feel better and for them to get the support they need.

There are many approaches to psychotherapy. Some techniques focus solely on insight and history without targeting specific issues for change. Others aim to identify and attack behavioral concerns but do not pave the way for growth with empathy and compassion. In the former, patients feel soothed and understood but ultimately frustrated by a lack of change, not knowing how to break free of their problematic patterns of behavior. In the latter, patients can feel as though they are following one-size-fits-all instructions from the therapist and develop feelings of shame over the challenges they face, not knowing from where the issues came.

Therapy can help you to access greater vitality and creativity within yourself and find more depth in your relationships with others. I am committed to helping my patients make contact with the parts of themselves that are whole and healthy and untouched by whatever difficulties or trauma they may have experienced. I will stay actively engaged while together we make space for you to have the kinds of deeply felt affective experiences that can contribute to psychological well being and lead to a decrease in painful symptoms like anxiety and depression.

My approach to therapy is warm and collaborative, and I seek to create a treatment specifically tailored to each client's needs. My training in psycho-dynamic, cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral psychotherapy, as well as mindfulness and health psychology allows me to creatively integrate all of these modalities in the treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders.

The aim: measurable, transformational recovery and growth. The process: bespoke, time-limited, science driven mental health services characterized by respect, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. The foundation: world class training as a researcher and clinician, 8 years of experience, unwavering compassion for the human condition.

Finding the right therapist can be a difficult task. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. By listening to and understanding your needs, I will assist in navigating complex issues that are currently preventing you from reaching your goals/ideal self. I have extensive experience in treating adults, adolescents, and children in a variety of settings.

As a psychotherapist I help adults and children connect to their strengths and resources by providing therapy through the lens of creativity. You or your child may be feeling stuck, struggling to cope with behaviors, or adjusting to life transitions such as changes in relationships, career or school. I offer treatment using both verbal psychotherapy and creative interventions. I sometimes bring music into the process because it can help us connect to our body, emotions and memories when talking alone falls short.
