We will collaboratively work together to address your concerns and help you start building the life you desire. With more than 8 years of experience, I have helped clients dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, ADHD, Women's issues, and interpersonal conflicts. Clients feel encouraged to openly express their emotions while actively pursuing their goals. Ensuring confidentiality and safety, I offer unconditional positive regard, and my approach is characterized by warmth, care, and a nonjudgmental attitude.

I strive to create an empathetic, warm, and nonjudgmental environment so that a vulnerable space still feels safe. With an open ear and a curious mind, I offer feedback and ask plenty of questions with the intention of understanding who you are and how you would like to make positive changes in your life. My clients are often struggling with complicated family dynamics and interpersonal relationships. I understand that feeling disconnected can seep into other areas of our life and cause anxiety, stress, and overall feel painful.

I am the founder of ALB Tutoring, an ensemble of educators who help students develop self-awareness of their unique learning styles to leverage their strengths and address their areas for growth through executive functioning. When this training is combined with academics, standardized test preparation, and college admission guidance, students become empowered to stay engaged, build self-efficacy, and achieve goals. We go beyond traditional teaching, engaging students in conversations that provoke identity and skill development. This embodies our philosophy of "always learning better."

I am a clinical social worker, licensed in New York and New Jersey. I am passionate about helping others and have dedicated my professional life to doing so over the last 15 years. All of my work during my private practice career has been via telehealth, and I've found that I have established some of the most meaningful connections with individuals this way. In my work with individuals, virtual sessions continue to allow for deep reflection & opportunities to shift perspectives; whether you're coping with grief/loss, struggling with anxiety and/or depression, navigating a major life change.

Now accepting new clients for evening appointments! If you were looking for a sign to try therapy, consider this that sign. Life feels hard, and everyone and everything feels overwhelming. You just want to feel better but don't even know where to begin. You don't have to figure it all out on your own. So let's talk. Even better, let's collaborate. I have a relaxed style based on science but led by empathy and humor. I commonly help clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions, or even just a case of the "blahs."

If you feel stuck, hope for more meaning, vitality, or joy in relationships or work, I invite you to contact me. Together, we'll engage in a process that can help you to not just survive, but to flourish: to find and strengthen your truest, best self, gain clarity, and take up your life with more confidence, connection, and energy. Discovery of new possibilities in both small and large matters brings relief from suffering. I'll listen intently, ask questions that make you think, help you to safely sort out your feelings, and work very hard to deserve your trust.

Whether you struggle with interpersonal conflicts, have issues with self esteem, or social anxiety, my goal is to create a peaceful space for a nurturing, supportive bond between therapist & client. My aim is not to change who or what you are, but rather explore how you respond and relate to your external world to create a perception that better serves you in your daily life. My approach to therapy focuses on relationships by creating a safe & supportive environment for exploration and growth, where clients can feel understood and validated.

Hello, My name is Elizabeth Chery. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of clinical experience. I have experience working with various individuals who face anxiety, depression, grief, loss, self-esteem, addiction, relationship concerns, and other life experiences.

Life long secrets? Sexual abuse? Relationship issues, interested in trying the Gottman Method? Sex & Porn addiction? Youth sexual behavior problems? Shame spiral, depression, anxiety? You’re desperate for relief but nothing helps. Abuse nightmares & flashbacks are spinning out of control. You’re concerned about your spouse or child's sexuality- but don’t know how to help.

These are specialty areas I have successfully helped clients with for 24 years, in addition to my work with anxiety and mood disorders.

I've treated children, adolescents and adults in inpatient psychiatric hospitals since 1994 while maintaining a private practice since 1996. In addition to a graduate degree in clinical psychology, I have had psychoanalytic training, along with a recent certification in global mental health. These have provided me with a unique perspective and skills that allow me to engage with patients in a collaborative relationship with the goal of exploring alternative solutions to difficulties that have persisted in the patient's life.

I am a seasoned psychologist with extensive experience in helping children, adolescents, adults, as well as couples and families. I have been described as warm, supportive and straightforward.

We come to therapy because we want to experience our lives as more satisfying. It is my job to provide a space that facilitates the changes you desire. With change there are growing pains. In a sense, I offer pain management. Whether you go into the past, or concentrate on the present, we focus on removing what isn't working for you and replacing it with tools and experiences that support you in your life. This is done in a self-accepting, non-judgmental way. I also offer Tipi, a technique that can eliminate specific anxieties, phobias, and impulsive responses.

I believe that we seek treatment when we feel dissatisfied in our relationships, careers, or with ourselves. We might not be aware that our emotional conflicts block us from achieving what we want. Change and flourishing of creativity can occur when the analyst creates an accepting and safe environment for expression and exploration of all dimensions of our experiences. I am an experienced analyst with over twenty years of practice working with children, adolescents, adults and couples in Manhattan and Great Neck.
